The video is from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel that tests various materials and objects. In this episode, they test the effectiveness of kinetic sand in stopping bullets. The host starts by shooting a 22 long rifle into the sand, which successfully stops the bullet. He then shoots a 357 magnum, which also stops in the sand. However, a 10mm round shot from a rifle penetrates the sand. The host then shoots a 50 Beowulf, which penetrates but is stopped by the sand.
The host then shoots a 308 round, which goes through the sand but is stopped before exiting the other side. Finally, he shoots a 50 BMG round with an incendiary tip, which explodes in the sand but does not penetrate the cinder block behind it. The explosion disperses sand over a 20-foot radius, but the bullet fragments are contained within the sand. The video ends with the host joking about including a grain of the kinetic sand in every purchase from his merchandise store.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The video features an experiment testing the ability of kinetic sand to stop bullets.
2. The experimenters used 70 pounds of kinetic sand for the test.
3. Kinetic sand has properties similar to both solids and liquids.
4. The experimenters tested the kinetic sand with a 22 long rifle, a 357 magnum, a 10 millimeter rifle, a 50 beowulf, and a 50 bmg.
5. The 22 long rifle bullet was stopped by the kinetic sand.
6. The 357 magnum bullet was also stopped by the kinetic sand.
7. The 10 millimeter rifle bullet went through the kinetic sand.
8. The 50 beowulf bullet was stopped by the kinetic sand.
9. The 308 rifle bullet went through the kinetic sand, creating a larger exit hole than the 50 beowulf.
10. The 50 bmg bullet exploded in the kinetic sand, but did not break the cinder block behind it.
11. The explosion from the 50 bmg bullet threw sand everywhere, creating a 20-foot radius of sand around the experiment area.
12. The kinetic sand kept all the pieces of the 50 bmg bullet inside, despite the explosion.
