Duration: 13:22

This experiment tests the ballistic resistance of peanut butter against various firearm calibers. A .22 LR was stopped by two jars, while a 9mm required five. The powerful .50 AE penetrated approximately eight jars, and a 7.62x39mm was stopped by five to six jars. The video also features a demonstration of a .50 BMG's destructive power on water and a sponsor segment for Grip6 products.

Quick Summary

It takes approximately five jars of peanut butter to stop a 9mm bullet, and two jars to stop a .22 LR round. A .50 AE round penetrated about eight jars, while a 7.62x39mm was stopped by five to six jars.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many jars of peanut butter does it take to stop a 9mm bullet?

In the experiment, it took approximately five jars of peanut butter to completely stop a 9mm projectile fired from a Glock 19X. The density of the peanut butter effectively absorbed the bullet's kinetic energy.

Can peanut butter stop a .22 LR round?

Yes, peanut butter can stop a .22 LR round. The test showed that a 40-grain .22 LR bullet fired from a Glock 44 was stopped by the second jar of peanut butter.

What is the penetration depth of a .50 AE round in peanut butter?

A powerful .50 Action Express round fired from a Desert Eagle penetrated roughly eight jars of peanut butter. This demonstrates the significant energy and penetration capability of this large caliber.

Which firearms were tested against peanut butter?

The firearms tested against peanut butter included a Glock 44 (.22 LR), an HK SP5K and Glock 19X (9mm), a gold-plated Desert Eagle (.50 AE), and an AK-47 (7.62x39mm).
