This experiment tests the bullet-stopping power of a large ball of duct tape against various calibers. While it successfully stopped .22, 9mm, .45 ACP, and even a 12-gauge slug, it was penetrated by the .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster rounds. The results highlight duct tape's surprising resistance to certain projectiles but its limitations against high-powered rifle and magnum handgun rounds.
The Winchester Black Talon ammunition, despite its controversial reputation, was designed for law enforcement to penetrate barriers and maximize tissue damage while preventing over-penetration. Public outcry and media misrepresentation led to its withdrawal from the civilian market. Modern alternatives like the Winchester PDX1 and DoubleTap ammunition offer superior performance and lack the legal stigma.
