This experiment details the process of weakening a solid aluminum block using gallium, a non-toxic metal that infiltrates and embrittles aluminum. The treated block is then subjected to ballistic testing with calibers ranging from .22 LR to .50 BMG API-T rounds, demonstrating significant structural compromise and eventual shattering. The analysis reveals gallium's effect on aluminum's grain boundaries, destroying its ductility.
