Bullets Vs Rubbers - Guns And Science

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various bullet calibers through multiple layers of condoms. It demonstrates how different calibers, from 9mm to .308, interact with the condoms, showing deflection, displacement, and penetration. The experiment also touches on heat resistance from suppressors and the unique projectile spread of a 12-gauge shotgun.

Quick Summary

In a scientific experiment, multiple layers of condoms were tested against various bullet calibers. Results showed that while condoms could deflect slower handgun rounds and cause displacement, they were ultimately penetrated by all tested calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56 FMJ, .300 Blackout, 12 Gauge buckshot, and .308 Winchester.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can condoms stop bullets?

In this experiment, multiple layers of condoms did not stop bullets from various calibers including 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56 FMJ, .300 Blackout, 12 Gauge buckshot, and .308 Winchester. While they caused some deflection and slowed projectiles, they were ultimately penetrated by all tested rounds.

How did different bullet types perform against condoms?

Handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP showed deflection and significant condom displacement. High-velocity rifle rounds like 5.56 FMJ penetrated in a straight line. Shotgun buckshot created a spread pattern. All calibers ultimately penetrated the condom layers.

Did the heat from a suppressor affect the condoms?

Surprisingly, the condoms held up well against the initial heat generated by a suppressor after a rapid firing sequence ('mag dump'). They did not immediately melt or degrade significantly from the suppressor's heat in the test.

What firearms were used in the bullet vs. condom test?

The video featured a suppressed 9mm handgun, a Sig P320 in .45 ACP, a Sig MCX Spear LT in .300 Blackout, an SBR firing 5.56 FMJ, a Mossberg 590 12-gauge shotgun, and an HK MR 762 in .308 Winchester.
