This video from Edwin Sarkissian explores the ballistic performance of various bullet calibers against Elmer's School Glue. The experiment, conducted at an outdoor shooting range with strict safety protocols, tests how many one-gallon containers of glue are needed to stop rounds from a .22 LR, 9mm, .44 Magnum, and .30-06 Springfield. The results offer insights into bullet energy transfer and expansion characteristics when encountering a non-traditional medium.

Quick Summary

In a ballistic test, Edwin Sarkissian determined how many 1-gallon containers of Elmer's School Glue stop various bullet calibers. A .22 LR penetrated two containers, 9mm four, .44 Magnum four (due to expansion), and .30-06 stopped in three after fragmenting. Safety protocols, including PPE, were strictly followed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers were tested against Elmer's Glue?

The experiment tested .22 Long Rifle from a Glock 44, 9mm from a Glock 19X, .44 Magnum from a Desert Eagle, and a .30-06 rifle round from an M1 Garand against Elmer's School Glue containers.

How did the .44 Magnum round perform against the glue?

A .44 Magnum hollow-point round fired from a Desert Eagle penetrated four 1-gallon containers of Elmer's Glue. Its rapid expansion upon impact caused it to stop within the fourth container.

What was the result of the .30-06 rifle round test?

The high-velocity .30-06 rifle round fired from an M1 Garand fragmented upon impact with the Elmer's Glue, shredding the bullet and stopping within only three containers.

What safety precautions were emphasized during the test?

The instructor emphasized the proper use of eye and ear protection, safe firearm handling, and adherence to range etiquette throughout the experimental ballistic testing.
