😱💦 Can Water STOP a Bullet?

Ajouté : 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]They say that you can escape bullets underwater. The idea is that the density of the water will absorb the bullet's energy and it won't reach the target. To test this myth, the Mythbusters built a water tank. Unfortunately, Adam didn't want to be a volunteer, so they placed ballistic gel at the bottom. Its properties are very similar to human flesh. Jaime takes a shot, and the bullet went straight through the gel.

[00:00:17]However, what if the target is not directly under the shooter, but at an angle? For this, they found a pool and prepared a rifle with a bullet speed of 1,000 ft per second. To their great surprise, the bullet didn't even reach the gelatin. But what will happen if they take a large caliber rifle? Please do not try this at home. This looked more like an explosion than a shot.
