"Lethality of Bullets" (Pictures and Data Included)
First off I would like to post a link to inspiration that led me to create this topic:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=56836&mesg_id=56836

This man did such an excellent job of being scientific in his experiment, that I deiced to conduct my own, with a similar level of intelligence and precision.



For my experiment I took a .308 black tip armor piercing round (one of the deadliest known to man) My experiment was to detirmine wether as we see on TV and the news and in movies, if bullets could actually kill.



Its supposed to be armored piercing, so first I threw it my laptops casing, it simply hit and rolled off, not even a dent!




Next, getting brave after these results, I threw it at my hand, I was actually able to catch the bullet!!!! No damage to my hand at all!



So finally I wondered what it WOULD pierce, so I threw it at a piece of paper, NOT EVEN A DENT!!!!




In concussion I would like to say that President Bush has woefully equipped our troops as even one of their most powerful rounds cannot penetrate paper!!! Also he has not adequately provided our troops with vests of even paper strength!


2)

Ok, at the request of a very science minded individual, I have changed two variables, age of the projectile and size, The bullet now being used, is a relatively new black tip 5.56 armor piercing, the the paint STILL ON. This should be more effective we would think. Also, I will throw a little harder this time, to more effectively simulate the velocity of a 5.56




First, the paper, weakest of the origonal tests, AGAIN NO PENETRATION!



Well since it is armor piercing, I decided to use it against a well known armor, Bread. It sunk in a bit, but the bread recovered, Clearly it is no match for dark german bread, possibly it is the thickness of dark bread that stopped it.



Well since I had no other kind of bread to test this hypothesis on, I decided on liquid bread, I let go with all my might this time, with a satisfying clink it hit the liquid bread. I expected it to have ripped through and destroyed it, but alas, I looked again, and it had simply bounced off.




Once again, science proves it, BULLETS CANNOT KILL!

3)

At the suggestions of science minded members here I went and got some gummi like substances. While at the store I saw a bottle of water, and figured, Hey people are like walking bottles of water, we have a hard outside and a liquid inside, so I decided to get a bottle of water as well. (some water is missing becuase science makes me thirsty)

No luck on the water, both bullets bounced right off, but that is what I have come to expect. I think it has to do with the lack of the variable squishyness, everyone knows children are squishy, so I decided to add that for the next test.




Next I used the gummis, (The red is representative of the children that have died without justice from guns, the sugar on outside indicates how sweet everyone would be if we just gave peace a chance) Using a large amount of force I pushed the bullet into the gummi, simulating what an assualt rifle with a pistol grip does to a child, both bullets went about halfway through.




Next I bit one of the gummis, my teeth cut all the way through!!!!



I can now use this variable to introduce a formula. Bullet strength = 1/2 teeth, or BS = 1/2t. You can now go out and use this formula for anything you want, to determine if it will stop gunfire or not, just go bite it, half strength, if you cant do it, vunderbar! bulletproof!



4)

To further prove my point that bullets cannot kill, I have subbed out work to Dr. Allen a PHD is Scientography, and Scientonomy. He has decided to disprove the common myth of "firepower". We all know that guns are "firearms" and that when they are powerful guns, it is know as "firepower' Dr. Allen set out to determine wehter or not fire actually has any power.


Fire was provided using a well known and dangerous fire creating implement. (So dangerous in fact it has been banned on airplanes, as everyone knows "You cant bring fire on a plane"





The first test subject is what many commonly believed is something to be destroyed by the power of fire, as you can see from this photo, the fire has absolutely no effect on the wood.



Next he tried paper, another thing that you have been led to believe can be burned by the CIA. Clearly yet another thing we have been lied to about. No damage at all to the paper.



Finally, his finger, he tried to burn it with the lighter (much as bushitler burns away iraqi children in the night). But unlike bushitler, the lighter had no effect on his finger whatsoever.




Dr. Allen had this to say:

"Fire is a primitive invention, discovered by primitive people. However, not until the advent of modern science could we prove that it does not actually do anything. While these results do prove fire has no actual power, it is not to be completely discounted. My team is researching other possible uses for fire, such as lighting. However, these experiments are still in the preliminary phase and do not look very promising."


All test results copyright Dr.Allen institute New Orleans LA.




It is also interesting to note, that these tests, along with disproving the myth that bullets can kill, also help to disprove the idea that fire could destroy the WTC. If fire cannot burn paper, how can it burn steel? Much less chicken wire.


5)

At the suggestion of another science minded individual I decided to test the round that freedom loving Iraqis who are fighting to throw off the yoke of bushitler use. I think first I shall use my hand to test.


I didnt have any 7.62x39 around, so I decided to use another round designed by a socialist workers utopia, clearly this bullet would be used as a righteous sword to strike down bushitlers throngs. I bet it works way better than that crappy stuff made by lazy capitalist Americans, probably fatcats with bushitler stickers on thier SUVs who murder mother earth, not like the loving socialists who crafted this round purely out of goodwill and togetherness.



GOD LORD! my hand.......... having trouble typing........Iraqis so much bttr eqpd...loos of bloddd gttin to my hd I ht bushitler.........arghggg...adawfajw






To those who ask, that blood is as real as global warming and the chickenwire experiment, face it, Iraqi bullets kill better than American bullets, the CIA blew up the WTC, and global warming will kill YOU, science proves it.

14. I'm a member of the "No Homeless Bunnies" contingent here at DU


This poor bunny had to seek shelter under a pancake after that last round of tests.

No more homeless bunnies!

10. Beautiful. K&R
But you might want to add a dialup warning in the subject line, due to the size of the pix.

11. This thread is as retarded as the one that inspired it
To all the DUers yukking it up at this "hilarious" "parody", may I direct you to the OP's opinions on global warming, last paragraph.

:thumbsdown:

13. Just another Capitalist excuse
Edited on Tue Jul-11-06 01:13 PM by formercia
to contract for bigger and more lethal guns and bullets and to shift the blame for all of the death and destruction on something else but the Administration of Fearless Leader.

15. Come ON!
Come on! This is just supposed to be a funny thread making fun of the idiot, I think we all agree on this, who claimed to prove a conspiracy theory by conducting a "experiment". This just happened to be the easiest "experiment" I could think of. It is just a joke to make fun of the other guy, nothing more, nothing less.
