This video tests the 9mm stopping power of a Glock 19 against 24 rolls of toilet paper. A single 9mm FMJ round penetrated 15 rolls before being recovered, showing minimal deformation. The experiment highlights how common materials can effectively slow down projectiles, contrasting with a previous test using a 5.56 round.

Quick Summary

It took 15 rolls of toilet paper to stop a 9mm round fired from a Glock 19. The recovered bullet was surprisingly intact with minimal deformation, showing the effectiveness of the paper in slowing the projectile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rolls of toilet paper did it take to stop a 9mm bullet from a Glock 19?

In the experiment conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, it took 15 rolls of standard toilet paper to completely stop a 9mm round fired from a Glock 19 pistol. The bullet was recovered intact after penetrating the 15th roll.

What was the condition of the 9mm bullet after penetrating the toilet paper?

The 9mm full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet recovered after penetrating 15 rolls of toilet paper was remarkably intact. It showed minimal deformation and clear rifling marks, indicating the toilet paper effectively slowed it down without causing significant fragmentation.

How does the 9mm's performance compare to a 5.56 round against toilet paper?

A previous test showed a 5.56 round from an AR-15 penetrated 20 rolls of toilet paper easily. The 9mm round from the Glock 19 stopped at 15 rolls, suggesting that while both are significantly slowed, the 5.56 round possesses higher velocity and penetration capability.
