Video: .50 Cal vs. Non-Newtonian Fluid

Remember when an Air Force Academy cadet and a professor teamed up to develop a ‘goo’ strong enough to stop bullets? Well, we get to see that material in action . . . sort of.

Watch the video below to see Iraqveteran8888 and a special guest test out the strength of this non-newtonian fluid by shooting a bucket full of it with a .50 Cal rifle:

That went pretty much as expected.

This video was a cool demonstration of how this material works up close, but the shooting test didn’t reveal any shocking results. Anytime you shoot a bucket full of liquid with a .50 caliber rifle, you’re going to have a big mess on your hands.
