Videos tagged with Wet vs Dry Media

This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics and Matt Carriker from Demolition Ranch conducting a unique ballistics test. They use packages of dry and water-saturated ramen noodles as a ballistic medium to test the penetration and expansion of various firearms and calibers, including a 9mm Uzi, a .45 ACP 1911, a .50 AE Desert Eagle, and a .50 BMG Barrett M82A1. The experiment highlights how different bullet types and velocities interact with varying densities of media.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of wet versus dry foam books using a 9mm Glock 19. The dry foam books stopped the bullet after 10 units and one thicker unit, while the wet foam books allowed the bullet to penetrate through 10 units and into the third thicker unit. The results suggest that soaking the media made it less effective at stopping the projectile.
