Duration: 1:07

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a solid block made from $100 of Flex Seal. While it stopped a .22 LR round and partially resisted a 12-gauge slug, a .380 ACP round penetrated the block. The results indicate Flex Seal is not effective as body armor against common self-defense calibers.

Quick Summary

A ballistic test evaluated Flex Seal as body armor. While it partially stopped a 12-gauge slug and fully stopped a .22 LR round, a .380 ACP round penetrated the solidified block, concluding it's not effective for ballistic protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Flex Seal be used as body armor?

Based on testing, a solid block of Flex Seal did not provide effective ballistic protection. While it stopped a .22 LR round, it was penetrated by a .380 ACP round, indicating it's unsuitable for stopping common firearm threats.

What calibers were tested against the Flex Seal block?

The test included a 12-gauge shotgun slug, a .22 LR pistol round, and a .380 ACP pistol round. Higher power calibers like 9mm, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester were listed but not explicitly shown penetrating the block in the provided data.

Did the 12-gauge slug penetrate the Flex Seal block?

The 12-gauge slug from a Hammer 12 shotgun caused significant surface damage to the Flex Seal block but did not completely penetrate it in the center where it was tested.

What was the conclusion about Flex Seal's protective capabilities?

The experiment concluded that Flex Seal, even when solidified into a thick block, is not effective as ballistic armor. It failed to stop a standard .380 ACP round, a common self-defense caliber.
