This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of a homemade Flex Seal armor. While it shows some promise against lower-power rounds like .410 birdshot and .22 Short, it fails dramatically against high-velocity 9mm +P hollow points. The experiment highlights the limitations of improvised armor against modern handgun ammunition.

Quick Summary

Frequently Asked Questions

What was tested in the DemolitionRanch Flex Seal bullet test?

The video tested the ballistic resistance of a homemade armor constructed from layers of Flex Seal Liquid. Various firearms were used, including a Taurus Judge with .410 birdshot, a Henry rifle with .22 Short rounds, and an F-1 Firearms 9mm AR-style pistol with +P hollow points.

Did Flex Seal stop bullets effectively in the test?

The Flex Seal armor showed limited success against lower-power rounds like .410 birdshot and .22 Short, preventing penetration. However, it completely failed to stop high-velocity 9mm +P hollow points, which easily penetrated the material and the target.

What types of firearms and ammunition were used in the Flex Seal armor test?

The test utilized a Taurus Judge firing .410 birdshot, a Henry 'Evil Roy' rifle with .22 Short ammunition, and an F-1 Firearms UDP-9 pistol firing 9mm +P hollow point rounds. 9mm Rat Shot was also tested.

What is the conclusion regarding Flex Seal's ability to stop bullets?

The experiment concluded that while Flex Seal might offer minimal resistance to very low-power projectiles, it is entirely ineffective as reliable ballistic armor against common handgun rounds like 9mm +P hollow points.
