How Many Titanium Wallets does it take to stop a bullet?

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a custom Grip6 titanium wallet against multiple firearm calibers. The wallet successfully stops 9mm armor-piercing rounds, .50 AE from a Desert Eagle, and .38 Super from a Colt 1911. While the wallet withstands these impacts, the internal mechanism can be damaged by high-energy rounds like the 9mm AP test.

This test evaluates the ballistic resistance of an LA Police Gear (LAPG) throwing hatchet. It successfully withstands 12-gauge birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm rounds, showing only minor surface damage or dents. However, the hatchet fails catastrophically when hit with a 5.56 NATO green tip rifle round, shattering the blade.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it withstands birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto, it is penetrated by 9mm and .223 Rem rounds. The test highlights the helmet's limitations against modern firearm threats despite its historical significance as military surplus.

This video tests a 'bulletproof' Chinese face mask against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .450 Bushmaster. While the mask prevented penetration from all tested rounds, significant deformation and cratering were observed, especially with higher-powered calibers like the .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster. The internal view reveals aramid/composite layers designed to absorb impact.

A $30 Temu body armor panel, claimed to be Level 3A, was tested against various calibers. Surprisingly, it stopped rounds up to .500 S&W Magnum, exceeding expectations for its price point. However, the host advises against relying on it for life-saving situations due to unknown quality control and significant deformation on higher-power rounds.

This video tests the 'bulletproof' claim of Yeti Rambler 20 oz tumblers using 9mm and .40 caliber rounds. The tests revealed that while the tumblers are durable, they are not bulletproof, with bullets penetrating multiple cups. The experiment provides a practical demonstration of the tumblers' resilience against ballistic impact.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
