Homemade bulletproof vest..!!
I think you need a couple more layers of tape if you want that vest to be really bullet proof.

Trick shot..!! Ricochet at water..!!
I am glad you took the baby out of the bath tub before the experiment! Nice shooting.
I want the baby in.!! But my grandmother came ant took it away..!! Hahaha...thank you..!!
Can water balloons stop bullets..??
I once did the same experiment.
Only I used milk jugs filled with water.
And a .357 with 158gn JHP hand loads.
I think I remember the bullet going through 5 milk jugs and leaving a trail of shredded plastic, but it was 40 years ago, and it could have been 6 jugs.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
The water have amazing stoping power..!!
I remember watching this test a while back.
Ohhh this is great video..!!
I'm investing in orange balloons. Obviously, they are better than a plexiglass bulletproof vest!
Yes and I am thinking about re-evaluating my defense preps, ditching the sand bags and plate metal, and investing in balloons and empty milk jugs.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Hahahaha...obviously..!!
With that you can can sleep safe..!!! Hahaha...
Back in the day..... my mother did many exibition shoots with her bow against local sheriffs with their pistols etc. She was the best woman field archer in the world at that time so of course she never lost. One of the things that always amazed me after she shot out the candles etc was that her bow could penitrate so much deeper in the sand bags than any pistols that anyone shot at the events. I never understood how that was possible.
Being hard to understand only comes from that assumption that we're prone to that something like a gun has more power across the board than something like a bow. It seems counter intuitive that a pointed stick propelled by a string under tension can do more than a bullet in certain circumstances...that something "more advanced" like a gun, that uses a little chemical explosion for it's energy, doesn't automatically out-do something like a bow and arrow. When we throw away certain assumptions, we sometimes understand things better.her bow could penitrate so much deeper in the sand bags than any pistols that anyone shot at the events. I never understood how that was possible
I was always fascinated by this my own self. It's also a trip that a few water balloons can stop a bullet...but again, it's only because of an assumption about bullets and guns. Makes you think - in movies when someone's underwater and people are shooting at them, being a couple feet under they're relatively safe at least from lethality or even major injury. And the bullets wouldn't wiz as deep as they do sometimes in the movies. In slow-mo in the vid above, you can see the rubber of the balloon stopping the bullet cause so much of it's energy was stolen.

I don't know, edr, but would suspect penetration in sand was the bullet flattening out vs the arrow not flattening. Just my guess.
