[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?

[00:00:07]>> 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.

[00:00:43]>> Oh.
