Which do you think will penetrate further: bullets or arrows? The answer surprised us.
We did two simple tests:
1 - Do bullets or arrows penetrate a car door better?
2 - Do bullets or arrows penetrate a row of water balloons better?
This simple experiment didn't have a ton of scientific rigor, but it acted as visual for the difference between the bullets and the arrows.
I honestly think we need more guns and a better setup. Could the arrow here really penetrate better than all these bullets? I'm not so sure. What are your thoughts? Do you have an idea why this difference exists. Leave your comments for us; we're going to try and set up another, more elaborate experiment.
