[00:00:00]How many pieces [music] of paper does it take to stop a 5.56 round and protect our friend Gary here with his pit viper?

[00:00:05]We're going to start out with 100 pieces of paper.

[00:00:07]>> Three.

[00:00:11]I don't think that even slowed it down one bit. 500 [music] sheets.

[00:00:14]>> Three.

[00:00:15]Two.

[00:00:15]One.

[00:00:18]Yeah, right through. All right, we are jumping up to 1,500 sheets of paper. Holy crap. Three.

[00:00:26]Two.

[00:00:28]I still saw dirt fly. First 500, 1,000, and 1,500 right off the bat.

[00:00:34]We are jumping up to [music] 3,000 sheets of paper. Gary, you're going to be safe on this one. Three.

[00:00:40]Two.

[00:00:41]One.

[00:00:42]First one down, second one, third one.

[00:00:43]>> Oh.

[00:00:44]Somewhere in the 2,000 range.
