Catch a Bullet in Kevlar Gloves, WORST VIDEO I HAVE EVER MADE, Whistlin Diesel

Duration: 14:08

This video features Matt Carriker and Whistlin Diesel conducting an experimental test to determine if Kevlar gloves offer ballistic protection. They test the gloves against knives and various firearm calibers, including 22LR, 380 ACP, 9mm, and 45 ACP, using firearms like the Ideal Conceal 380 ACP, Taran Tactical Glock 17L, and CMMG Banshee. The results indicate that while Kevlar offers cut resistance, it does not provide significant bulletproof capabilities against common firearm rounds, especially when layered.

Quick Summary

Kevlar gloves are designed for cut resistance, not ballistic protection. Tests show they are not bulletproof against calibers like 22LR, 380 ACP, 9mm, and 45 ACP, even when multiple layers are stacked. Firearms used in testing included the Ideal Conceal 380 ACP, Taran Tactical Glock 17L, and CMMG Banshee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Kevlar gloves bulletproof?

Kevlar gloves are designed for cut resistance, not ballistic protection. While they may offer some minimal resistance to very low-power rounds, they are not bulletproof and will be penetrated by most common firearm calibers like 22LR, 380 ACP, 9mm, and 45 ACP, even when layered.

What firearms were used to test the Kevlar gloves?

The Kevlar gloves were tested using several firearms, including an Ideal Conceal 380 ACP (a folding cell phone gun), a Taran Tactical custom Glock 17L in 9mm, a CMMG Banshee in 45 ACP, and a gold-plated AK-47. Ammunition tested ranged from 22LR to 45 ACP.

What is the purpose of Kevlar gloves?

Kevlar gloves are primarily designed for cut resistance, making them suitable for industries where sharp objects are handled, such as meat packing. They are not intended or rated for protection against ballistic threats from firearms.

Can multiple layers of Kevlar stop bullets?

While multiple layers of Kevlar might slightly slow down projectiles, they are generally insufficient to stop bullets from common firearms. Tests show that even ten stacked layers of Kevlar gloves did not effectively stop rounds like 45 ACP.
