The above video is 4 minutes, 18 seconds long. I had initially seen a shortened version
on the "SCI"ence channel.

Bullet used : .22 LR, Stinger, 32 grains, JHP, 1640 FPS (feet per second).

Firearm used: Ruger 10/22 PS90. It's got a scope, which was not needed for the point blank shot.

Conclusion - The thick viscous nature of the smaller gummy bear in front allowed minimal penetration
of the round, protecting the larger gummy bear behind. A pistol would probably have a slower FPS.

Over and out. Enjoy. :-)

If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
