how much LEGO does it take to stop a bullet?

This video tests the penetration power of various firearms against a large block of Lego baseplates, culminating with a .50 caliber sniper rifle. Results show a clear correlation between caliber and velocity with penetration depth, with the .50 BMG completely overwhelming the Lego structure. The experiment highlights how different ammunition types perform against a non-standard barrier.

This experiment tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, against various calibers. While Oobleck successfully stopped .22 LR and .380 ACP rounds, it was penetrated by .45 ACP and .223 Rem. A .50 BMG round completely destroyed the setup, including the Oobleck container and table, and passed through the mannequin.

This experiment tests the ballistic resistance of a large ball made from 20 rolls of duct tape against various firearm calibers. While it successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds, it failed to stop more powerful calibers like .44 Magnum, .450 Bushmaster, and 5.56mm. The results suggest duct tape offers limited protection against higher-velocity rifle rounds and potent handgun cartridges.

This experiment tests the ballistic resistance of bubble wrap against various projectiles. A 12-gauge birdshot, a compound bow arrow, and a .22 caliber round were fired at a mannequin wrapped in bubble wrap. None of the projectiles were effectively stopped, with all penetrating the material. The conclusion is that bubble wrap is not a viable option for bullet protection.

This YouTube Short explores the ballistic capabilities of common water jugs, specifically questioning their effectiveness at stopping bullets. The video title "Can Water Jugs Stop a Bullet? #shorts" suggests a practical demonstration or test. Given the nature of the query, it's highly probable that firearms and ammunition will be used to conduct this test. The content likely aims to provide a visual answer to a common question regarding projectile penetration through everyday objects.

This YouTube Short poses the question of whether a frying pan can stop a bullet. While the title is a bit clickbait-y and doesn't explicitly mention firearms, the core of the question implies ballistics testing and the potential effectiveness of common household items against projectiles. The content likely involves a demonstration or discussion related to bullet resistance.

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.
