How much skittles does it take to stop a bullet?

This video showcases a modified Desert Eagle handgun, featuring a 'switch' for simulated full-auto fire. The demonstration highlights the firearm's powerful recoil and the shooter's expertise in handling such a potent weapon. Safety protocols, including the use of hearing and eye protection, are evident, underscoring the importance of responsible firearm handling.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic penetration of various firearm calibers through standard decks of playing cards. The host, demonstrating enthusiasm and proper firearm handling, shows how many decks are needed to stop rounds from 9mm up to .50 BMG. The results highlight the significant differences in power and penetration capabilities across common handgun and rifle cartridges.

This experiment tests the effectiveness of various firearm calibers in breaking open a Master Lock. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, .45 ACP, 9mm, and .44 Magnum caused damage or became lodged in the lock, they failed to breach it. Only the powerful .50 AE round from a Desert Eagle was successful in destroying the lock mechanism and breaking the shackle.

This video tests whether firearms can breach locks, debunking movie myths. While smaller calibers like .22 LR to .44 Magnum cause cosmetic damage, only a Desert Eagle .50 AE successfully blew open a standard Master Lock. Hardened steel locks proved more resistant, requiring larger calibers like 12-gauge slugs and .50 BMG, which still didn't fully open them but caused significant damage.

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 video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic penetration of Feastables chocolate bars against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show a clear correlation between caliber size and penetration depth, with larger calibers easily passing through dozens of bars. The host, demonstrating safe firearm handling, provides an entertaining look at projectile energy transfer.

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.
