This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the bullet-stopping capability of a 10 oz pure silver bar against various calibers. While it stops .22 LR and 9mm rounds, it deforms significantly under 9mm and .45 ACP impacts. A 5.56 rifle round penetrates the bar completely, leading to the conclusion that pure silver is ineffective as body armor.
