This video tests the ability of an AR-15 platform, specifically its Vortex Strike Eagle optic, to stop incoming projectiles. The experiment involves shooting the firearm with various calibers, including 9mm, 5.56x45mm, and 12 gauge buckshot, to assess penetration. The durability of the Vortex Strike Eagle optic under direct impact is also evaluated, leading to a subsequent inquiry into Vortex's warranty policy for such extreme use cases.

This video details a DIY approach to creating homemade body armor using welder's blankets and epoxy resin, aiming for a cost under $50. The creator demonstrates the construction process, highlighting improvements suggested by viewer feedback and then proceeds to test the armor's effectiveness against various calibers. While the initial attempt shows promise, stopping smaller rounds like .22LR and .38 Special, it struggles with higher-powered pistol rounds, indicating areas for potential improvement through increased layers or different materials.

This experiment tests Oobleck's ability to stop bullets, revealing it's surprisingly effective against high-energy rounds. While lower handgun calibers like .22 LR were stopped, 9mm and .45 ACP penetrated. However, the .44 Magnum and even rifle rounds like 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39mm were successfully halted by the non-Newtonian fluid. The depth and orientation of the Oobleck significantly impacted its stopping power.
