Duration: 2:00

This experiment compares the projectile distance of a baseball launched by various firearm calibers. A 9mm round propelled the ball about 10 yards, while a .45 ACP reached approximately 25 yards. The .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster significantly increased the distance, with the 12 gauge slug achieving the greatest range, sending the ball to the end of the outdoor shooting range.

Quick Summary

The 12 Gauge shotgun slug launched a baseball the furthest in the Yee Yee Life experiment, reaching the end of the range. Other calibers tested included 9mm (10 yards), .45 ACP (25 yards), .44 Magnum, and .450 Bushmaster (50 yards).

Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber launched a baseball the furthest in the Yee Yee Life experiment?

The 12 Gauge shotgun slug achieved the greatest distance when launching a baseball, sending it to the very end of the outdoor shooting range. This demonstrates the significant power difference compared to pistol and rifle calibers tested.

How far did a 9mm bullet send a baseball?

In the Yee Yee Life experiment, a 9mm round fired from a semi-automatic pistol propelled a baseball approximately 10 yards. The bullet passed through the ball, indicating less energy transfer for propulsion.

What was the distance achieved with a .45 ACP round launching a baseball?

When testing a .45 ACP round from a 1911-style pistol, the baseball traveled significantly further than with the 9mm, reaching about 25 yards. This shows increased projectile energy and transfer.

Which rifle caliber was tested for launching a baseball, and what was the result?

A .450 Bushmaster rifle was tested, launching a baseball approximately 50 yards. This round showed massive exit damage on the baseball, indicating high energy transfer.
