The video features YouTube personality DemolitionRanch testing the properties of kinetic sand by shooting it with various firearms to see if it can stop bullets. The tests involved:
1. A 22 long rifle: The bullet was stopped by the kinetic sand.
2. A 357 Magnum: The bullet was also stopped by the kinetic sand.
3. A 10mm rifle: The bullet went through the kinetic sand.
4. A 50 Beowulf: The bullet was stopped by the kinetic sand.
5. A 308 rifle: The bullet went through the kinetic sand, creating a larger exit hole than the 50 Beowulf.
6. A 50 BMG (with an incendiary round): The bullet exploded in the kinetic sand, but did not break through the cinder block behind it. The majority of the bullet was found to be still in the sand.
The video showcases the unique properties of kinetic sand, which behaves like a solid and a liquid at the same time. The tests demonstrate that kinetic sand can be effective at stopping certain types of bullets, but its performance varies depending on the type of ammunition used.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. The experiment tested the ability of kinetic sand to stop bullets.
2. The experimenters used approximately 70 pounds of kinetic sand for the test.
3. The kinetic sand was contained in multiple containers with lids to prevent sand from spilling out during the experiment.
4. The experimenters used several types of firearms and bullets, including a 22 long rifle, a 357 magnum, a 10mm rifle, a 50 beowulf, and a 308 rifle.
5. The experimenters fired the bullets at the kinetic sand to see if it could stop them.
6. The kinetic sand was able to stop a 22 long rifle bullet and a 357 magnum bullet.
7. The kinetic sand was partially penetrated by a 10mm rifle bullet.
8. The experimenters then used a 50BMG rifle to fire at the kinetic sand.
9. The 50BMG bullet created a large explosion in the sand, but did not break through the cinder block behind the sand.
10. The bullet was found to be mostly intact, with some fragments scattered nearby.
11. The experimenters also found a 22 bullet that had been fired earlier in the experiment.
12. The explosion from the 50BMG bullet scattered sand up to 20 feet away from the impact site.
