This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics and Matt Carriker from Demolition Ranch conducting a unique ballistics test. They use packages of dry and water-saturated ramen noodles as a ballistic medium to test the penetration and expansion of various firearms and calibers, including a 9mm Uzi, a .45 ACP 1911, a .50 AE Desert Eagle, and a .50 BMG Barrett M82A1. The experiment highlights how different bullet types and velocities interact with varying densities of media.

Quick Summary

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were tested against ramen noodles in the Demolition Ballistics video?

The video tested a 9mm Uzi, a .45 ACP 1911 pistol, a .50 AE Desert Eagle pistol, and a .50 BMG Barrett M82A1 rifle against packages of dry and wet ramen noodles.

How did dry ramen noodles compare to wet ramen noodles as a ballistic medium?

Dry ramen noodles offered very little resistance, with a 9mm round penetrating 28 packages. Water-saturated ramen noodles provided significantly more resistance, stopping rounds much sooner.

What was the outcome of the .50 BMG Barrett M82A1 test with wet ramen?

The .50 BMG round fired from the Barrett M82A1 caused a massive disruption of the wet ramen but was ultimately stopped within the second tub of noodles.

Who were the hosts of the Demolition Ballistics video?

The video featured Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, who was recovering from an injury, and guest host Matt Carriker from Demolition Ranch.
