Bulletproof GUMMY BEAR?

Duration: 6:44

This video tests the 'bulletproof' nature of a giant gummy bear by freezing it with liquid nitrogen and shooting it with a Mossberg 590 shotgun. Despite multiple attempts with different ammunition, including a 1oz slug, the gummy bear did not achieve complete brittleness, shattering but not exploding as hypothesized. The experiment highlights the challenges of achieving uniform extreme temperatures in large, dense objects.

Quick Summary

A 5-pound gummy bear was frozen with liquid nitrogen and shot with a Mossberg 590 shotgun. While the impacts caused shattering and severed the head with a slug, the gummy bear did not become fully brittle, indicating incomplete freezing throughout its dense structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when the frozen gummy bear was shot?

When the liquid nitrogen-frozen gummy bear was shot with a Mossberg 590 shotgun using Winchester PDX1 ammunition, it shattered. A second shot with a 1oz slug severed the head, but the bear wasn't completely frozen through.

Was the giant gummy bear truly bulletproof?

No, the giant gummy bear was not bulletproof. While it shattered upon impact from shotgun slugs after being frozen, it did not exhibit the expected 'bulletproof' or explosive behavior, indicating incomplete freezing.

What ammunition was used in the gummy bear test?

In the tests, Winchester PDX1 12 Defender ammunition was used, which includes 3 pellets of 00 buckshot. A subsequent test utilized a 1 oz slug fired from a 12-gauge shotgun.

How was the gummy bear frozen for the test?

The 5-pound gummy bear was frozen using liquid nitrogen. It was submerged in the cryogenic liquid in an attempt to make it brittle enough to shatter upon impact from a shotgun blast.
