    Man, the bullet drop at the 3rd balloon was pretty drastic. Amazing how the rubber of the 4th one grabbed it and didn't let it go. Easy to forget how much resistance you get from watter till somebody smacks it with an open hand or belly flops.

      Damn those were some tough balloons. Looks like they were made from superman's costume.

          HAHAHA! I agree. The 4th balloon just didn't let the bullet go. I think if it went straight, the 5th would've enforced it more.

                    looks like it was a hollow point that expanded nicely. If it would have been ball ammo (FMJ) I think it would have gone through one maybe even two more.

                      Mythbusters showed the awesome stopping power of water as well.

                        Very interesting. I wonder how far FMJ ball round would have gone.

                          Kinda reminds me of the shooting under water videos. Makes it about the same distance.

                            Good info to have if I am ever attacked by a line of water balloons
                            A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                              We set up some water jugs and boxes with sand at the range testing different rounds. Simply amazing how water will stop a bolit
                              And sand deforms the crap out of a slug into jewelry!
