Bullet vs Prince Rupert's drop
« on: December 30, 2016, 05:36:46 PM »
Here are high speed videos of bullets hitting glass drops and the bullets shatter. There are other videos about them too. One took about 20 tons of pressure in a hydraulic press before it broke.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
