What was the outcome of shooting a 9mm bullet into a gallon jug of water?

When a 9mm bullet from a Glock was fired into a gallon jug of water, it passed through the jug and impacted a ballistic dummy. However, the bullet did not penetrate deeply into the dummy, merely bouncing off its chest, indicating water offered minimal resistance.

How did a gallon jug of honey perform against a 9mm Glock round?

A gallon jug of honey proved more resistant than water. The 9mm bullet passed through the honey and successfully penetrated the ballistic dummy's chest, coming to rest inside the torso.

Which substance was most effective at stopping a 9mm bullet in the test?

Sand was the most effective substance tested. A gallon jug filled with sand completely stopped the 9mm bullet fired from the Glock, preventing it from reaching the ballistic dummy.
