This guide details a DIY ballistic test conducted by the Yee Yee Life channel, evaluating the stopping power of a 150-pound slam ball against various firearm calibers. The experiment, performed by a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates the slam ball's surprising ability to stop rounds from 9mm up to .50 BMG API, with Flex Tape used for repairs between tests. It highlights practical application of ballistic resistance testing in an experimental context.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.

This video demonstrates a DIY ballistic test using multiple rolls of Flex Tape to assess its bullet-stopping capabilities against various calibers, including .22 LR, 9mm, .357 Magnum, and .50 AE. The experiment, conducted by an experienced hobbyist shooter, shows that even powerful rounds like the .50 AE can be significantly slowed or stopped by a sufficient quantity of the tape, with projectiles being recovered from within the adhesive layers.
