After seeing this video where a .44 Magnum was stopped with just four water balloons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blGNsJl7Ku8, I decided to see if I could stop a much weaker round with three milk jugs filled with water.
The gun is a Ruger SP101 357 Magnum with a 2.25" barrel, and the round is a Speer Gold Dot .38 SP +P 135gr JHP Short Barrel. Here are the results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-5QBMy ... e=youtu.be.
So how many jugs does it take?

If hollow points, you'll find the expanded slug in the 4th jug. Round nose might make it into the 5th jug, but I doubt it.
Need slowmo... and a run for more cereal and milk.
