How many balloons to stop a .44 magnum - This is really interesting

[BangkokDean]

How many balloons filled with water do you think it takes to stop a .44 Magnum handgun bullet?

Make your guess before the test.

:hissyfit: Got a glimpse of the bullet, and it was a hollow point, do it with hardball, and it would take all ten balloons easy.....

That exact pistol was one of my favorites back 40 years ago, but over those years the barrel lengths grew to include the 10 5/8" version, my last one was stolen out of my apt between TG and Xmas '76 it was an 8 3/8" factory Nickle finish with smooth sided rosewood grips....I still have the presentation case it came in....:hissyfit:
