What sort of object can shrug off a bullet, but shatters with just a little touch? The answer is a Prince Rupert’s Drop, an object formed from molten glass simply dropped into water to cool. I’ll explain how this works below, but first, check out the video [Read More…]

Smarter Every Day crew fired a Ruger P95-DC and a revolver in a glass tank filled with water and captured the shots using a high-speed camera recording at 2,200 frames per second. It will come as no surprise to gun nuts that the pistols did not blow up underwater. Many [Read More…]
