Punishment for non compliance should be fulfilled by being made to wear a depends undergarment with no less than 50 bullet ants, for up to an hour.

And in case you're been living under a rock...

(skip to ~ 10:20 for good stuff)

Thanks, watched it in 4K. Bullet Ant challenge. :eek:

Who in the fuck doesn't realize that bullets can go through just about anything? If people can shoot up a house from the outside via drive-by shooting, why in the fuck would you think a book would stop a bullet?

And who in the fuck has a lifelong passionate dream of being a Youtube star with 300k subscribers?

Jesus fuck, back in my day people had actual real aspirations in life like being an astronaut or president.

Well enough paper/books will stop a bullet. His major fuckup, beyond trying this stupid stunt at all, was using too small of a book and too big of a caliber.

Don't forget way too close of a distance (1 foot ffs).

Either way that is a bet I would never be willing to make. There are plenty of videos showing that you have pretty huge chances of a bullet going through a book regardless of the size

First thing I'll do when I finally get a girlfriend, have her shoot me with a .45 cal handgun in an attempt to stop the bullet with a dictionary.

Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to touch guns...

As stupid as he was, it sounds like his GF is pretty foolish as well.

"Yeah but he repeatedly asked me to do it! So I did."

And she wanted him to stop asking, so she took the one path open to her to get that.

That has to be the worst part. He could have easily found out that book wasn't going to be adequate. Or he could have, I dunno, did a dry run maybe? I know it's a crazy idea when you're testing out improvised body armor.

He did do a dry run actually on another book. His girlfriend says that's what he used to further coerce her into doing it.

Also, I know just about nothing about guns, but a frickin' .50 calibre?
