This video features a "Silly Putty Bullet" being tested against a metal door, with the title indicating a "shotgun" is involved. The use of "civtac" in the hashtag suggests a civilian tactical context. The "absolutely INSANE" descriptor points to a potentially surprising or impactful outcome of the test. Given the focus on a projectile impacting a barrier, the content likely aims for entertainment and visual demonstration of an unusual ballistic scenario.
This experiment tests the ballistic effects of Silly Putty loaded into a 12 Gauge shotgun shell. While not penetrating a ballistic gel head to the brain, the concussive force generated by the Silly Putty projectile was deemed potentially fatal. The test utilized a Maverick 88 shotgun and a specialized Cranium Target ballistic gel.
This video from Demolition Ranch explores the surprising bullet-stopping capabilities of Silly Putty. Host Matt Carriker tests various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a 150lb mass of the material. The results demonstrate that Silly Putty, due to its non-Newtonian properties, can effectively stop many common firearm rounds, though higher-powered rounds like the .50 BMG can penetrate.
