This video tests the ballistic resistance of ballistic nylon against 9mm and .22LR pistol rounds. The ballistic nylon demonstrated effectiveness against .22LR but was penetrated by 9mm rounds, with varying degrees of backface deformation depending on the number of layers. The test suggests that while ballistic nylon can stop smaller calibers, its effectiveness against larger pistol rounds is limited and dependent on material thickness.

This guide outlines an experimental test comparing the ballistic resistance of a Lexan sheet and multi-layered bulletproof glass against 9mm FMJ ammunition. The test, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates that both materials offer significant resistance, requiring multiple concentrated hits to achieve penetration. The findings highlight that while materials may be "bulletproof," they have defined limits of resistance.

This video investigates the ballistic penetration capabilities of common beverage cans, specifically Tecate beer cans. The experiment aims to determine how many cans are required to stop a bullet, offering a practical, albeit unconventional, demonstration of projectile energy and material resistance.
