9MM Vs 40 Layers of Ballistic Nylon #militarygear #nylon #bodyarmor #militaryhistory #tacticalgear

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 9mm and .40 S&W rounds through varying layers of ballistic nylon. The tests show that 30 layers of ballistic nylon are insufficient to stop a 9mm round, while a .22 pistol is stopped. Increasing to 40 layers still results in a clean pass-through for the 9mm. The presenter plans further testing by stacking 70 layers to determine the stopping threshold.

Quick Summary

In ballistic nylon penetration tests, 30 layers proved insufficient to stop a 9mm round, though it did stop a .22 pistol. Increasing to 40 layers still resulted in a clean pass-through for the 9mm, with minor projectile deformation observed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can 30 layers of ballistic nylon stop a 9mm round?

No, 30 layers of ballistic nylon were insufficient to stop a 9mm round in this test. The projectile passed through cleanly. However, it did stop a .22 pistol round.

How effective is 40 layers of ballistic nylon against 9mm?

Even with 40 layers of ballistic nylon, a 9mm round passed through with minimal struggle. While some deformation of the projectile was noted, indicating it was slowed, it did not achieve full stopping power.

What is the next step in testing ballistic nylon's stopping power?

The presenter plans to stack all 70 available layers of ballistic nylon together and test them with a 9mm round to determine a more effective stopping threshold.

What calibers were tested against ballistic nylon?

The ballistic nylon was tested against a 9mm handgun round and a .22 pistol round. The 9mm consistently penetrated multiple layers, while the .22 was stopped by 30 layers.
