This video from Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates a DIY ballistic test using aluminum foil balls to gauge projectile stopping power. The experiment progresses from a .22 LR to a Glock 19X with 9mm rounds, and finally a Desert Eagle with .44 Magnum ammunition. The results show a significant increase in penetration capability with more powerful calibers and ammunition types.

Quick Summary

Edwin Sarkissian's DIY ballistic test uses aluminum foil balls to compare projectile stopping power. A Glock 19X (9mm) penetrated seven balls, while a Desert Eagle (.44 Magnum) penetrated ten, demonstrating the significant difference in energy and penetration between calibers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were used in the foil ball ballistic test?

The ballistic test featured a Glock 19X chambered in 9mm and a Desert Eagle chambered in .44 Magnum. A .22 caliber handgun was also used for an initial test.

How did the 9mm Glock 19X perform against the foil balls?

The Glock 19X, firing 115-grain 9mm FMJ rounds, successfully penetrated seven dense aluminum foil balls and was stopped by the eighth ball during the test.

What was the outcome of the .44 Magnum Desert Eagle test?

The powerful .44 Magnum round from the Desert Eagle penetrated all ten aluminum foil balls, though it lost nearly all its energy by the final ball, indicating its high stopping power.

What materials were used for the DIY ballistic testing?

The primary material used for the DIY ballistic testing was aluminum foil, crumpled into dense spheres. Kirkland Signature Foodservice Foil boxes were specifically mentioned as the source of the foil.
