Frequently Asked Questions

How many Lego baseplates did it take to stop a .22 LR bullet?

In the experiment, a .22 LR round penetrated 26 Lego baseplates and was stopped by the 27th sheet. This demonstrates the initial stopping power of even smaller calibers against this unique material.

What was the penetration depth for a 9mm bullet through Legos?

A 9mm round required 46 Lego baseplates to be fully stopped. This shows a significant increase in penetration compared to the .22 LR, highlighting the difference in energy between the two calibers.

Could Legos stop a .44 Magnum or .223 round?

Yes, but with many more sheets. A .44 Magnum was stopped by the 77th sheet, while a .223 round from an AR-15 penetrated 88 sheets before bouncing off the 89th.

Did the Legos stop the powerful .50 BMG round?

No, the .50 BMG round completely penetrated all 100 Lego baseplates tested and destroyed the target dummy. This highlights the extreme power of this caliber compared to the Lego stack's resistance.
