This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of a 10 oz pure silver bar against various calibers. The bar successfully stopped .22 LR and 9mm rounds, though it deformed significantly with the 9mm. It also stopped a .45 ACP round, causing further deformation and dislodging a previous .22 bullet. However, a 5.56 rifle round penetrated the bar completely, leading to the conclusion that silver is not effective body armor. The expert assessment highlights safe firearm handling and a clear understanding of ammunition types.
