how many shaving creams does take to stop a bullet?

This experiment tests the bullet-stopping power of approximately 1300 lbs of Jello across three 55-gallon barrels. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm were stopped easily, while larger handgun rounds like .44 Magnum and .50 AE penetrated into the second barrel. Rifle rounds such as 5.56 and 7.62x39 were also stopped by the Jello, with .308 penetrating into the second barrel. The most powerful rounds, .500 Nitro Express and .700 Nitro Express, were the only ones to fully penetrate all three barrels.

This video tests how many pillows are needed to stop a 9mm bullet fired from a Glock 19. The experiment found that 7 to 8 pillows were sufficient to halt Federal 9mm 115-grain FMJ rounds. The recovered bullets were relatively intact, demonstrating the effectiveness of multiple layers of soft material against common handgun projectiles.

This video explores the ballistic resistance of wood, investigating how much of it is required to stop various bullets. While the specific firearms and calibers used are not detailed in the provided information, the title suggests a practical, potentially experimental approach to understanding projectile penetration through different wood densities and thicknesses. The content likely appeals to individuals interested in ballistics, survival, or the physical properties of materials when subjected to firearm impact.

This experiment from Yee Yee Life tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers through standard bricks. The video demonstrates how different rounds, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, interact with brick barriers, showcasing the significant differences in energy transfer and destructive power. The results highlight the effectiveness of larger calibers and higher-velocity rifle rounds in overcoming substantial material resistance.

This experiment tests the bullet-stopping power of butter using a 9mm Glock 19 with 115-grain FMJ ammunition. The initial test showed a bullet passing through 9 blocks before deviating. A subsequent test with 12 blocks confirmed that even this significant amount of butter was insufficient to stop the 9mm round, demonstrating its surprising penetration capabilities.

This ballistic test by Kentucky Ballistics explores if a standard residential air conditioner can serve as effective cover. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped by internal coils, larger rounds like .44 Magnum and .50 AE are often halted by the dense compressor unit. Even powerful rifle rounds struggle to penetrate the compressor, which acts as the only reliable stopping point, though it's a small target. The conclusion is that an AC unit offers poor ballistic protection.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
