This video details an experiment testing the possibility of dodging a bullet at 100 yards. High authority speaker Matt Carriker utilizes various firearms, including the Intratec Tec-9, CZ Scorpion, and Barrett M82A1, along with a chronograph, to measure bullet velocities and assess reaction times. The conclusion, supported by extensive testing with different ammunition types, is that dodging a bullet at this distance is effectively impossible due to the speed of the projectile exceeding human reaction capabilities.

Quick Summary

It is effectively impossible to dodge a bullet at 100 yards. Experiments using .22 LR subsonic, 9mm subsonic, 9mm supersonic, and .50 BMG rounds demonstrated that bullet velocities consistently exceed human reaction times. Even slower rounds hit the target repeatedly, confirming that projectile speed makes evasion unfeasible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to dodge a bullet at 100 yards?

Based on extensive testing with various firearms and ammunition, including .22 LR, 9mm, and .50 BMG, it is effectively impossible to dodge a bullet at 100 yards. Bullet velocities far exceed human reaction times, even for subsonic rounds.

What firearms were used in the bullet dodging experiment?

The experiment featured an Intratec Tec-9 9mm pistol, a CZ Scorpion 9mm sub-gun, and a Barrett M82A1 .50 BMG rifle. These were used to test different bullet velocities and calibers against a simulated target.

How does bullet velocity affect the ability to dodge a bullet?

Higher bullet velocities drastically reduce the already minuscule chance of dodging a bullet. Even slower subsonic rounds at 100 yards consistently hit the target, demonstrating that projectile speed is the primary factor making evasion impossible.

What is the typical speed of subsonic vs. supersonic ammunition?

Subsonic ammunition travels below the speed of sound (approx. 1125 fps), with tested rounds around 750-760 fps. Supersonic ammunition travels above this speed, with tested 9mm rounds reaching over 1300 fps, making them significantly faster.
