I watched this and all I could think of was what a waste of good ammo :laugh: But as I watched it was actually pretty cool , I just took it for granted that the bullet would travel through all of them with ease not thinking of the way it would travel , oooo and yes I would like to have one of those guns ;)

Just looking that over and thinking about what is going on, obeying the laws of physics, this is what I think took place.

The peeps were just dense enough that as the bullet entered tie first peep, it rocked the next peep just enough to move peep two a small amount. And as the bullet entered the next, it entered the peep at a slight relative angle to the next peeps. Thus the peeps not being locked into place gave the bullet just the right shove to cause it to deflect.

I wish they had locked all the peeps into place so they could not move.

I know the .50 cal bullet can easily go right through an inch or more of steel.

This I found on the web. (Question is how thick would a steel window need to be to stop the .50 cal round)

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters According to the source below, a .50 BMG AP round will be penetrate by 1.8" of non-armored steel at 100 yards, so go with 2". Of course it would no longer serve as a window.
