This video from Edwin Sarkissian, a high-level firearms influencer, experimentally tests the ballistic penetration of various calibers through peanut butter. It demonstrates how many jars of Skippy peanut butter are needed to stop rounds from a .22 LR Glock 44, 9mm HK SP5K and Glock 19X, .50 AE Desert Eagle, 7.62x39mm AK-47, and .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A. The results offer a unique, albeit unconventional, look at projectile energy transfer.

Quick Summary

Edwin Sarkissian's experiment tests how many jars of peanut butter are needed to stop bullets from various firearms. A .22 LR Glock 44 was stopped by the second jar, while a 9mm Glock 19X required about five jars. The .50 AE Desert Eagle penetrated approximately eight jars, showcasing significant differences in ballistic energy transfer between calibers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many jars of peanut butter does it take to stop a 9mm bullet?

According to the experiment, a 9mm round fired from a Glock 19X required approximately five jars of peanut butter to be completely stopped. The video also shows initial testing with an HK SP5K before switching handguns for a clearer result.

What is the penetration power of a .50 AE Desert Eagle compared to other calibers?

The powerful .50 AE round fired from a gold-plated Desert Eagle penetrated roughly eight jars of peanut butter, demonstrating significantly higher penetration power compared to the 9mm and .22 LR rounds tested.

Which firearm caliber had the least penetration through peanut butter?

The .22 LR round fired from a Glock 44 exhibited the least penetration, being stopped by the second jar of peanut butter. This indicates lower energy transfer compared to larger calibers like 9mm or .50 AE.

What is the purpose of the peanut butter bullet test?

The peanut butter bullet test, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, serves as an unconventional and visual experiment to demonstrate and compare the ballistic penetration capabilities and energy transfer of various firearm calibers and ammunition types.
