🔍We explore the concept of creating homemade body armor using grocery store items.
✨Baking sheets and cutting boards are used to construct a protective shield.
🔒The shield is tested against different calibers of bullets, including .22, .380, 9mm, 10mm, and .44 Magnum.
👀The shield successfully stops bullets up to 10mm, demonstrating some level of effectiveness.
💡Speed rather than mass is the primary factor that defeats body armor, as demonstrated by the penetration of a .44 Magnum round.
What items are used to make the homemade body armor?
—We use baking sheets and cutting boards, which are commonly found in grocery stores, to construct the body armor.
What calibers of bullets are tested against the body armor?
—We test the body armor against .22, .380, 9mm, 10mm, and .44 Magnum bullets.
Does the homemade body armor effectively stop bullets?
—The homemade body armor successfully stops bullets up to 10mm, demonstrating a certain level of effectiveness.
Why does the homemade body armor fail to stop a .44 Magnum round?
—The .44 Magnum round is able to penetrate the body armor due to its high speed, which proves that speed rather than mass is the primary factor in defeating body armor.
What is the main takeaway from the experiment?
—The experiment shows that everyday items found in a grocery store can provide some level of protection against bullets, but they are not as effective as specialized body armor designed for such purposes.
