Frequently Asked Questions

How many water balloons did it take to stop a 9mm round from a Glock 19?

In the test conducted, it took approximately 10 water balloons to stop a 9mm Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) round fired from a Glock 19. The bullet was stopped by the 11th balloon in the line.

What kind of ammunition was used in the Glock 19 water balloon test?

The test utilized 9mm Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition. This type of round features a lead core encased in a harder metal jacket, designed for deep penetration rather than expansion.

What was the setup for the Glock 19 water balloon penetration test?

A long wooden trough was set up on sawhorses in an orchard. Water balloons were lined up inside this trough, and the Glock 19 was fired at them from a distance of about 5-6 feet.

What happened to the 9mm bullet after penetrating the water balloons?

After penetrating roughly 10 water balloons, the 9mm bullet struck a cinder block at the end of the trough. The recovered projectile showed slight flattening on its nose due to the impact.
