The bullet shattered when it shot into a glass drop.

The tear-shaped glass was able to withstand two hits at close range without any damage, showing its strange properties.

American engineer Destin Sandlin on April 26 posted on YouTube a video of the moment when two warheads shot from a shotgun shattered before a glass of "Dutch tears" (Prince Rupert's drop) , according to Longroom.

In the video, Sandlin shot a .22 Magnum bullet (size 5.58mm) and a .38 Special tablet (size 9.65mm) from a close distance to test the durability of this special drop-shaped glass.

"Dutch tears" is a reinforced glass form, made by pouring molten glass into cold water.

Although it had a 570 m / s head speed, the .22 Magnum bullet that hit the glass piece was smashed into small pieces without scratching the target. And the .38 Special bullet shot the glass away, but it could not break the "Dutch tears", while the warhead broke down the moment it collided.

"Dutch tears" is a reinforced glass form , made by pouring molten glass into cold water. The result will be glass beads with water droplets and long tails like tadpoles. The extreme stress is accumulated inside the glass block, making it very strange properties.

The most striking feature is the head of glass droplets with very high rigidity, withstands bullets or hydraulic presses without breaking. However, the long tail is the weak point of the structure . As long as the tail part is damaged or vibrated slightly, the whole glass can be broken when subjected to impact.

The glass drop caused two large bullets to crumble.
