how many WATERMELONs it takes to stop a bullet?

This experiment tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of shaving cream cans. A Glock 19 firing Federal 9mm FMJ ammunition penetrated 8 cans before its trajectory shifted, stopping its forward momentum. The experiment also demonstrated that the foam from the cans can extinguish a small fire source.

This video title, "Será que gelo consegue parar uma bala?" (Can ice stop a bullet?), explores the ballistic properties of ice when subjected to firearm projectiles. It investigates the potential of ice as a projectile barrier, a concept often seen in fictional scenarios but rarely tested in reality. The video likely delves into the physics of bullet impact and penetration through a frozen medium, possibly comparing different types of ice or bullet calibers to determine their effectiveness in stopping or deforming rounds.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound kettlebell against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The kettlebell demonstrated significant resistance, stopping or significantly deforming most rounds. However, the powerful .50 BMG round ultimately penetrated the kettlebell, exiting through the bottom/side. The test highlights the surprising durability of the kettlebell against common handgun and rifle rounds but its limitations against extreme calibers.

This video title, "Essas Coisas São à Prova de Bala???" (Are These Things Bulletproof???), suggests a test of the bullet resistance of various items, likely including firearms or related equipment. Given the title's phrasing, the content probably explores the durability and protective capabilities of these objects when subjected to ballistic testing. The video's appeal would be to those interested in ballistics, the performance of different materials under impact, and potentially firearm-related safety or testing protocols.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the stopping power of various firearm calibers against a bowling ball. The experiment progresses from smaller rounds like .22 LR and 9mm, which cause superficial damage, up to powerful rifle and handgun rounds. While many calibers significantly damage the bowling ball, only the .50 BMG is shown to completely obliterate it and penetrate through. The host demonstrates safe firearm handling throughout the test.

This video, titled "Será que um quebra-queixo resiste a tiros?" (Can a 'breaker-of-jaws' withstand bullets?), directly asks if a specific item, colloquially referred to as a 'quebra-queixo', can withstand gunfire. Without a transcript or further description, the exact nature of the 'quebra-queixo' is unknown, but the title strongly suggests a ballistic testing scenario involving firearms. The content likely aims to explore the durability of an object when subjected to projectile impact, making it relevant for those interested in ballistics, material science, or informal firearm testing.

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.
