This video from Kentucky Ballistics features Scott conducting an extensive test to determine how much Jello is required to stop various firearm calibers. The experiment involves firing rounds from .22 LR up to .700 Nitro Express into barrels filled with Jello, demonstrating the significant energy transfer and penetration capabilities of different firearms. Scott, a recognized expert in ballistic testing, provides enthusiastic commentary and visual evidence of each impact.

Quick Summary

Kentucky Ballistics tested various calibers against approximately 1300 lbs of Jello in three 55-gallon barrels. While smaller calibers were stopped easily, high-powered rounds like the .500 Nitro Express and .700 Nitro Express penetrated all barrels, showcasing extreme ballistic energy transfer.
