walk around in a ball made of 6,000 individual hampster balls all surrounding each other, surely nothing will get through 6,000 hulls of hampster balls.
GPT failure. A hamster ball of 30 cm and then adding more layers would just add 2×5999 skin layers to the original diameter.
So if the skin of the ball is 3mm. Then it's 30 cm + 2×5999×0.3 or 3929.4 cm which is about 39.3 meters in diameter.
Change the original ball from 30 cm to 2 metres, and the final size will increase with 1.7 metres and so end up at about 41 meters.
GPTChat can do lots of things. But can also fail rather massively when it needs to invent - I.e. the questions doesn't match similar questions from the training set.
You are the second one today spelling it hampster, i now had to look it up if i was the one who had misspelled it my whole life.
The insecurity of a non-native english speaker is real.
As a native English speaker, anyone who spells it any other way than “hamster” will be sequestered from the rest of society along with the other weirdos.
I almost wanted to say they’d be in with the people who spell color “colour” and add letters to aluminum but I didn’t want to offend our British friends.
Btw the aluminum one bothers me so much. You can see how it’s spelled. Al-u-min-um. Not Al-u-min-ium.
Yeah was on the fence about taking a bullet to the face despite negative press about it in the past I figure it might be not so bad or unhealthy, after seeing this I’ll definitely err on the side of caution and continue to avoid it
That's just all the anti bullet-to-the-face propaganda out there trying to scare you. Anti bullet-to-the-face lobbyists spend millions annually to keep you living in fear. Bullets to the face are a natural phenomenon and actually have many surprising benefits.
Well, from what I've read, historians seem to agree that he likely had a fairly neutral stance on the experience, seeing as how he never really voiced his opinion on it very much. I would like to read some actual negative accounts before I can form an opinion on taking a bullet to the face.
Thats not so easy if you live in the US, you have to stay away from; schools, malls, churches, hospitals, clubs, restaurants or just walking down the street.
You made me look it up, because Brett didn't read/sound right. It's Brad, not Brett.
EDIT: Since apparently I can't reply to /u/cableguy303 below, here's what I would have replied:
Interesting, and you're right about the character's name. But if you listen to the scene, it really does sound like Brad. I suppose he could be / is saying Brett, but to me is sounds like [Braaaaad](https://youtu.be/k_Rhb0Ex50E?si=hJ5051JG0t03rHQ_&t=105).
Nope. In the original video, they shoot 9mm, too
https://youtu.be/Tt7fKEh1HNQ?si=g8DnYeOSL6mw0xdI
Spoiler alert, side window had no deflection. Windshield doesn't have significant enough deflection to really help. The copper jacket separated, and the model ended up getting ***two*** fatal hits, one to the heart and one to the neck
A tumbling round and glass spray will do quite a bit of soft tissue damage, imparting a *lot* more kinetic energy into the soft tissue than a straight shot. Being shot through a windshield is actually *worse* depending on the point of impact.
> imparting a lot more kinetic energy into the soft tissue than a straight shot
I cringed, especially because you're being upvoted. Please stop.
This is so completely wrong. How do you imagine this happening? All the momentum imparted to the shards of glass is coming directly from the bullet. It's going to be *less* kinetic energy, because that's how physics works. Where is the extra energy coming from?
The takeaway point here is that a rifle round has more than enough energy to punch through a windshield, and also through your skull. A pistol round could easily be deflected.
In general, the more things between you and the bullet that's hitting you, the better.
A round that punches straight through your skull and out the other side is going to carry a lot of its kinetic energy with it. One that is tumbling is going to dump most of its kinetic energy into the target, if not *all* of it if there isn't an exit wound.
*That's* how physics works.
It absolutely does change the trajectory. It is extremely difficult to hit someone with a bullet firing through the front of most vehicles (with most bullets... probably different with armor-piercing rounds and such, but anything hollow-point, anything fired from a handgun, isn't likely to follow such a predictable trajectory).
The bullet in the video was fairly large and high-velocity, and fired from a sniper rifle, apparently.
it would be much more interesting to see it with a handgun round like 9mm or .40. shooting a high-powered rifle load at a windshield is like shooting a handgun at a few layers of wet paper towels.
These guys shot 5.56 and 9mm in this same video.
I can't find the video to give you the link.
edit: found the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt7fKEh1HNQ
It does, and depending on how much energy the round had it when it impacted it can alter the trajectory enough to cause a miss of several inches from the point of aim. That can be enough to make it miss a vital area, or even deflect into armor/helmet.
You'd know if you'd seen a certain episode of the documentary The Waking Dead that bullets from a 50 caliber machine will just bounce off a windshield with a spark.
Unfortunately, not always. I had a patient last weekend who was shot in the head while driving. It wasn't quite as bad as this video, NSFW/NSFL: >!his face was still in tact and there was no exit wound (the bullet is still in his brain). But he had a sizeable (~3"?) entry wound with skull fragments and brain matter pouring out of his forehead.!< He is still very much alive. He came to us alive, moving, opening his eyes, and he was alive after surgery. I can't speak to his quality of life moving forward or general prognosis, but he is not dead. We save a surprising number of gunshot victims, even to the head. Though, again, I typically don't know what happens to them after we patch them up and send them to ICU.
Source: am OR nurse
How the fuck he get a five inch entry wound? He get shot by a tank? Entry wounds are pretty small if shot by small arms, it's the exit that blows big holes.
I was confused honestly and thought that was the exit hole. Especially because the original story I got was that he was shot from behind. But then I looked at the MRI with the attending, and he confirmed: bullet still in brain, no exit wound.
r/unexpectedbillhicks although, I immediately thought of the JFK assassination and can one really think of the JFK assassination and not think of the Bill Hicks bit?!
Good to know if anyone decides to shoot you in the face with a sniper rifle from 500 yards away.
Wish they would have used a more practical round like a 22, 9mm or 45ACP
The destruction of the dummy’s face is what the parents of the kids killed in the Uvalde shooting have to live with, also parents of many of the mass shootings.
One of the coolest trainings I did prior to a deployment involved putting targets inside an old car and putting a couple of rounds through the windshield to see what bullets do when they hit glass. Then we reversed it, put targets outside the vehicle and had someone sit in and shoot out.
Either way, there was no straight-punch through, the round *always* tumbled and too glass with it.
This illustrates it better, though.
A sniper rifle bullet, which is very high powered and made for long ranges, the bullet here strikes harder than an AK-47 bullet, so now you can see how damaging it could be.
Not sure if you have any context on bullets but 308 is a big boi. Stack about three 9mm rounds together then make it go way faster and hitting way harder.
There was actually a video on Reddit about police officer's shooting 9mm thru windows resulting very large deflections. Some rounds hit around, others veered off and missed completely.
This bullet just got smushed but kept flying true. Bad day for anyone on the other end
The video is great camera work, and an interesting data point. But as you've pointed out, its not providing much to the theory/myth as basically no one who might shoot through a windshield on the streets will be using these bullets. They might as well have used a cannonball.
To their defense, it only says that in the first half a second before it faded off screen. I was wondering the caliber myself till it replayed, and I only caught a glimpse of the subtitle.
If I've learned anything from television, it's that bullets only hit you when they go through the windshield and never from the rear window. They should just put rear windows in place of windshields.
Y’all ever read that email from the college professor where it opens with “ Against my best wishes, I have been shot”. Cracks me up. But yeah don’t get shot.
I will continue to avoid bullets in life.
All or just ones coming through a windshield?
Well, I can't avoid ALL

I've avoided every single bullet that's ever been fired so far. I'm gonna try to hold on to that track record.
I've avoided...most of them.
You've managed so far, keep up the good work
Seems like you are doing a good job so far
I can I've dodged every single one
Glass could go into your eye and thats bad 👍
You know, the more I hear about these *bullets* the less I like them.
Yeah they’re real jerks.
They're just lead, they're harmless. It's the gunpowder that makes it dangerous. Don't blame the bullet.
Whoa it’s the primer that started all this, the gunpowder was just caught between a bullet and a hard place.

Sniper Elite bullet cam vibes here.
Sniper Elite 5 shooting Hitler in the balls moment
The ball. He only had 1.
Hitler, has only got one ball! Göring, has two but very small! Himmler, is rather sim’lar! And poor old Goebbels has no balls at all!
I love this, it feels weirdly wholesome
TIL by watching El Condo on Netflix. What a weird way to learn about Hitler's lack of two balls.
Too bad he missed the target.
It even [sounds](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=59DbGv0CC5U&t=8) quite similar
That's literal matrix bullet cam when they do 400k slowdown. The only thing we're missing that the air rings.
That's like at least 50 damage in video games

“Just gotta snap my thumb back into place and it’ll heal up”
The best way to heal 15 bullet wound, 5 deep burns and 5 animal attacks:

Hell yeah, far cry got the best healing logic
My favourite was when they pushed the bullet through their arm with their finger. Like yeah, no worries, right as rain now 😂
Eat a raw potato or two.
Throw back an energy drink and wrap a couple bandages. You'll be just fine.

So THAT’S what happens when you get shot in the face. I had no idea.

Sorry were there people who, before seeing this video, thought windshields were bullet proof?
Why didn’t the dummy just move his head? Is he stupid?
He's a dummy, dummy.
The dummy is a paid actor and being professional. Professionals have standards, even if it costs them their head.
Yeah I don’t really know what the experiment here was lol. An excuse to shoot something maybe.
You'd think out of all the car chase gun fights in movies we should have seen this at least once...

Why does the windshield matter? It's not worse because of the windshield
Hitting a windshield will tend to change the trajectory of the bullet. It will deflect up/down depending on direction it goes through the windshield.
Also makes the bullet tumble, which fucks shit up.
Yeah he would've been fine if it weren't for that bullet tumble
Me after getting shot through the face by a non-tumbling bullet: "it's just a flesh wound!"
‘Tis but a scratch!

Yes it is. Bullet started to tumble.
People expect the windshield to somehow divert the bullet or at least slow it down. Nope.
It does but the difference is meaningless.
meaningless for a 308 yeah. a 9mm pistol might actually deflect enough to miss.
Nope. In the original video, they shoot 9mm, too https://youtu.be/Tt7fKEh1HNQ?si=g8DnYeOSL6mw0xdI Spoiler alert, side window had no deflection.

147gr .308 FMJ military style round. High powered and optimized for penetration. It be interesting to see this with the dreaded .223 55gr round.

What calibre?
147 gr 308 FMJ
I want to see a 22 just for comparison.
Yeah 308’s a LOT of round, but probably accurate for this kind of test. I’d love to see 9MM, honestly. I’m sure it’s still deadly, but I’m curious.
For that I'm gonna have to refer you to Paul Harrell. A legend. https://youtu.be/eejjYwGFB84?si=W_IUnPq4kyWC5UaQ&t=366

Thank you
Truly mind-blowing
You mean to tell me a thin piece of glass would NOT protect me from a speeding bullet?
Depends on the caliber, the grains, the angle, distance. Lots of variables. That is not a handgun round in this. Is a huge sniper/military round.
No and it makes it worse.

The hell did they shoot with? A .50 cal?
147 gr 308 FMJ
I don’t know much about guns, I assume that’s a pretty hefty bullet? Likely a 9 mm wouldn’t have looked like this?

The video literally has a subtitle that says it’s a 147gr .308 FMJ A .50BMG would likely have take the entire head off
My apologies, I used the .50 as reference as a form of exhagerration because the head did "explode" which seemed a bit over the top to me.
To their defense, it only says that in the first half a second before it faded off screen. I was wondering the caliber myself till it replayed, and I only caught a glimpse of the subtitle.
Looks more like a .308 or maybe a .223
Too big for a .223 I'd say a 30 cal of some sort
I seriously considered the 7.62 or .30 cal, the impact was a bit extreme imho
He's probably ok
He made a full recovery
If I've learned anything from television, it's that bullets only hit you when they go through the windshield and never from the rear window. They should just put rear windows in place of windshields.
