    Sounds like a great opportunity for a collab with “Smarter Everyday”.

    "Queso" unexpectedly appearing really had me cracking up😂
  • That's basically bulletproof glass though. Lots of tempered layers sandwiched with lots of plastic flexible layers. The reason the back cracked is just like the swinging balls physics contraption. The first ball is released swinging into the line of balls, the energy travels through all of them not moving them, once it get to the last ball the energy has nowhere to go but to get dumped into the last ball and cause it to go swinging.

    Oh man, the "Queso" got me real bad, I started laughing so hard. haha

    Petition for Matt to get a Phantom high speed camera to film impacts like these. Would probably make for some really cool shots (pun intended)

    The broken phone was a physics representation of a newton's cradle, the force of the bullet was transferred to the screen protector and when cleanly in a straight line to the end where nothing was there to allow the kinetic energy to go so it tried to bounce back breaking the phone and some of the screen protectors at the end before going all the way back to the very front and going into the loose screen protectors sending them towards you like shrapnel
  • @immortal8292
    "How many screen protectors would you like to buy???" Matt: YES
  • @boeubanks7507
    It looks like the 22 hornet delivered enough energy to create a pressure wave that bounced back and forth. Likely, the shattered ones are the node points where the reverberation back and forth in the stack created constructive interference. The pattern looked somewhat regular in distance like the nodes of a standing wave.

    This man is answering to the questions we never knew we needed answers to...
  • @Myka2789
    Matt: Today we're going to start off with this BB gun! Me: Dear God, this ammo shortage is worse than I thought...
  • @madmike9398
    not a physics professor, but I believe it's a similar reaction to when you shoot a glass ball. The shockwave distributes force on the opposite side as well.

    I was waiting for the rest of the unbroken screen protectors to be shot with the 50bmg
  • @mont2780
    Idk why but I just expect Matt to shoot something with a 50bmg at the end of every video
  • @sledford20
    The Queso photo bomb had me rollin man!!!
  • @danieljob3184
    That opening got me! I've seen guys stack up multiple milk crates like that & it rarely ends well, but when the other guy dragged them away, I was in stitches!
  • @eltoast
    Drinking game: take a shot every time Matt says, “it’s a smaller bullet, but it’s going really, REALLY fast”
  • @semajniffirg230
    The .22 Hornet was like Newton's Cradle, the energy transferred through.
  • @Lisa-uy9ox
    I love your tests like this they incorporate some of my own ponderings about "just what will it take to protect my.....?." And the fact you even push all boundaries.... Phenomenal!!!! Love ya man!

    I'm a patient in long-term palliative care and I just want to say that your "will [such and such a thing] stop a bullet" videos make me happy on the hard days.
