This video tests the ballistic resistance of epoxy resin against a .50 BMG round, finding that approximately 20 inches of solid resin is required to stop it. The test also demonstrates the resin's high resistance to smaller calibers like 9mm, .22 LR, and 5.7x28mm. The experiment highlights the destructive power of .50 BMG and the potential of epoxy resin as a protective material.

Quick Summary

Approximately 20 inches of solid epoxy resin was found to be necessary to stop a .50 BMG incendiary round in a ballistic test. The resin also proved highly resistant to smaller calibers like 9mm, .22 LR, and 5.7x28mm.
