How Many Mattresses Does it Take to Stop a Bullet?

In today's video, I'm going to be seeing how many mattresses it would take to stop a bullet. I'm going to start small with a 22 and I'm going to work my way all the way up to the mighty 50 cal and we're going to see how many mattresses it would take to stop each round. As usual, Fred is standing in bravely at the back. Zach, show Frederick back there. There he is. And if at any point, any of the rounds, and I mean any, Zach, make it all the way through our mattresses and hit Fred, he loses. We have 12, 12 inch deep memory foam mattresses. They're very durable. They're all lined up here, right in front of Fred. This has been one of our most highly requested videos of all time since we've been doing this. And I'm very excited to see how they're going to hold up against all of our bullets here. Hey, as usual, level one, we have our Ruger Mark 4. We're shooting a little round of 22. Could a mattress stop a 22? I'm going to guess yes, Zach. Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to stop it. These things are pretty thick. Let's see what happens. Here we go. Is this a good angle for you? Should I get closer? Oh, I love it, dude. Really? Don't change a thing. All right, here we go. Let's see. Here we go. Entry right here. Actually a pretty clear hole. It did. It did go through? It did go through, through one, into number two, out number two, into number three, and then bulged out the back, bulged out the back of number three here. There's a dent in number four. Wow. So it went clean through two mattresses, stopped in number three. Let's move up. Next up, we have our Glock 19 moving up to the nine mil at level two. The mattresses are not off to a great start. I'm getting a little worried for Fred. He may be getting a little nervous back there. What will the nine mil do? Much more powerful. Fred could be in trouble. Here we go. Nine mil, first mattress. Let's see what happens. Okay, here's our entry right here. In through one, out the back, two, out the back of three, into number four, out the back of four, five, six, seven, eight. Zach, what's going on? Nine. There's some blue foam right here. Ten. And then it stops. I can feel it right here, Zach, at the back of number 11. Absolutely unreal. Was not expecting that at all. The nine mil goes clean through 10 mattresses and then stops right here in number 11. I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe because our pillow video, the pillows were surprisingly a little more bulletproof than we thought. I think the pillows did better than the mattresses were. I think so too. These things are so much heavier than a pillow and yet they're just not stopping near as much. Ten for the nine mil. Let's move up, I guess. Well, Zach, we are cutting our mattresses in half because the nine mil made it all the way to number 11. We had 12 total. So we're going to cut a bunch of these in half so that we have basically double the mattresses to work with. This is one that we cut in half. There it is. Zach, you got a little sawzall there. Stop! Sorry. It's dangerous. So this is what the inside of our mattresses look like. Got a little blue layer, a white layer. It's very durable. I don't know how the nine mil went through 10 all the way to number 11 but we're going to have double the mattresses to work with now. We'll get them all lined up and then we'll shoot the 1911. Stop! Okay, we painstakingly. Pronounce it right this time. We painstakingly. Stakedly? Just stakedly? Tell them what we did, dude. We cut all of the mattresses in half in order to double the amount of mattresses that we had. So we had 12. We cut them all in half with a saw. We now have like around 20 lined up here in front of Fred. We're going to move up to the 1911. We have around a 45 ACP. See what this does. Here we go. 1911 versus mattresses. Nine mil, if you remember, went clean through 10, stopped at number 11. Here's our entry right here. Went through 1, 2, 3. Look, Zach, they're connected by a little memory worm. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Whoa, massive spider. Yikes. And then it came into number 5 and there's nothing out the back. I mean, there's like a tear here but that's like from something else. Yeah, it stopped. So it went clean through 4, stopped at number 5. Maybe the spider caught it. I don't know. Nine mil absolutely destroyed the 1911. Sometimes the 1911 wins. This time, nine mil like doubles it. Wow, maybe we didn't need to cut these mattresses in half after all, man. It was fun though to do that with you, man. It took like three hours, 100 degree heat. Okay, so the 1911 went clean through 4 and then stopped in number 5. Nine mil is still in the lead. Let's move up. Okay, the nine mil is in the lead still, but not for long. I have a feeling because the 44 Magnum is up next and we have a ginormous round of 44 Magnum bare load here. Zach, this is reminding me of the time. All these mattresses here, the 44 Magnum. I'm actually just outside Anchorage, Alaska, and I'm at a mattress firm this one time. Trying out beds, jumping on, jumping on, jumping on. Look behind me. There's a grizzly in the mattress firm, Zach. Somehow he'd gotten in. This is Alaska. I don't know. This just happens all the time apparently. Turn around. He's got a big pillow. Smacks me over the head. I'm like, no fair. I didn't even know we were doing a pillow fight. I grab a pillow. Boom, we're just trading blows, trading blows. Everyone in there's like cheering like Parker, Parker, Parker. And then boom, I wake up. It was all a dream. It was an insane dream. So you never actually took down a bear. It was just, you were dreaming about all these? No, no, no. Just this one was a dream. All the other stories that I've said have actually, they did. They did were truth. Here we go. 44 Magnum versus our mattresses. Oh man. Massive kick on that thing. Let's see how far it went. Entry right here. It looks pretty much identical to the 1911. A lot more power though. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Okay, so the bullet comes out the back of number 11 into number 12. And then there's no exit in number 12. So 44 Magnum beats the 9 mil just by one mattress. But nonetheless, it is our new leader. Let's move on. Okay. Biggest handgun we have, the mighty Desert Eagle. Zach, cue up the Eagle screech because we have around a 50 AE. Probably going to be our new leader. How many will it go through? Let's see. There's a chance that this will be our champion today. Let's see what the 44, what the Desert Eagle will do. All right, here we go. Oh, wow. Here we go. Entry right here. 10, 11, 12, 13. Our new leader, 14. All right, so our bullet stopped in number 14, meaning that the Desert Eagle went clean through 13 mattresses, making it our new leader. Let's move up. Okay, moving up to the 12 gauge. We have two rounds here that we have not shot in a while, Zach. We have the red one, which is around a bird shot and the black one, which is around a buck shot. Bird shot is a bunch of little BBs with a wide spread, not a lot of penetration. Buck shot is going to be like five to 10 of those larger buck shot balls with a little bit of a spread, but it's going to have a lot more penetration power. This is like a home defense round. So I'm going to shoot both of them and then we'll see how far they go. Okay, so I'm going to hit the left side here with buck shot. Excuse me. And then the right side with bird shot. Here we go. Here's the buck shot. Oh, I don't know why I was just expecting more spread. It just looks like a single entry. All right, here's the bird shot. Will this one even have room to spread? I don't know. I'm going to aim a little lower to not get on that deagle entry. Oh yeah, definitely a little bit wider. All right, will the bird shot even make it through one? Here's our entry. Look at that nice, satisfying blue entry right there. I see some BBs falling out. Yeah, look at those little BBs falling out right there. Into number two. And it did make it out number two. It looks like it didn't go. Maybe a few made it into number three. Definitely didn't make it out the back of number three. So yeah, I'm calling that clean through two. And then it stopped like in number three for the bird shot. Buck shot right here, a little bit smaller in terms of the entry, but bigger than the handguns. That's for sure. Two, three, four, five, six, seven. Look Zach, get a load of this back here. They're starting to like spread out. So there's like all of these exits right here from those like little pellets, like spreading out. Seven out the back, eight, nine, ten into number ten. Wow, so the buck shot made it a lot further than I thought. It made it clean through nine and then into number ten. So not bad for our 12 gauge buck shot. Let's move up to some rifles. All right, our first rifle of the day. We have our AR here shooting around a .223. Will the Deagle maintain the lead or could the rifle be our new leader? Let's see what the AR does to our mattresses. We're going to aim like upper left here, Zach. Okay, here we go. Tiny little entry. Let's see how far it went. .223 entered right here. One, two, three, four, five, six. Look how small that is, Zach. Oh my goodness. Seven, eight, nine, still going. Ten, 11, 12, 13. Oh yeah, there's a clear clean exit right there. So it went clean through 13 into number 14 and then stops in number 14. Meaning it is tied for the lead on our leaderboard with the Desert Eagle. Let's move up. What do you got there? I have an AK-47, Zach. We're shooting around a 7.62x39. Could this break the tie between the Deagle and the AR and be our new leader? Let's see. All right, Zach, you ready? Yes, sir. That's satisfying. That's just a fun gun to shoot. All right, here we go. Nice dark entry right here. A little bit of charring. One, two, 12. Look, we marked our old entry, Zach. We're getting good, dude. We're getting real good. I just lost count because I started talking. Into number 14. Into number 15, new leader. 16, 17, still going. 18, 19. Oh, Zach, I thought it was going to make it all the way. Look at how nervous Fred is back here. He was asleep. He was sleeping back there? Yes. So the AK-47, by a long shot, is our new leader. It went clean through 18 mattresses. Stopped in number 19. The mighty AK is our new leader. Let's move up to the 308. We're moving up to the gold scar. We have three levels remaining. Back up, Zach. What are you doing? I was just showing the barrel. You don't need that. Sorry. We don't need the close-up. We have a round of 308 here. Will the 308 beat the AK-47? Let's see. Here we go. The gold scar against our mattresses. I'm firing. Just think, Zach. Fred could be toast back there. We have no idea. Okay, gold scar entered right here. We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. No, it is not. Cricket. Okay, it made it to number 17. Made it clean through 16, Zach. So it did not beat the AK-47. 308 is a huge round. And the 7.62x39 out of the AK beats it and is still our leader. The trusty AK, dude. It is time to move up to the 30-06. It could go through every single mattress. This might be Fred's last few moments. Fred, any last words back there? He's a man of few words. Zach, cue the slow-mo. All righty. Cue it. Is it cued? It's cued up. You got it cued up? Yeah. Moving up to the deer rifle, the mighty 30-06. We have some absolutely sick looking rounds here. It's like silver with an orange bubbly tip. I don't even know what this is. Zach, you bought it. It looks like it's made for a werewolf or something. We're going to see how many mattresses it takes to stop it. I don't know what it is either, dude. I'd just be buying stuff sometimes. All right, here we go. Let's load her up. I'm going to go like low center, Zach. Right at Fred. We'll see if he makes it. Wow. Head center. Let's see if Fred made it. Here's our entry right here. Okay, so we found out where it stopped right here. This is number 17 entry. And then Zach, check it out. You can barely see like there's literally a bulge right here where it just almost came through the backside. So the 30-06 goes clean through 16 into number 17. Meaning the AK-47 is in the lead going into the last gun. The main event. Could the AK pull off the upset? Or will the mighty 50 Cal go through every single mattress and put an end to Fred who stood in so bravely here until the very last round? I'm going to get geared up. We'll see what happens.

I'm geared up. We have our round of 50 BMG right here. Brian has arrived with the slow-mo camera. And he has front... It's not a machine gun. But Brian is ready with the fire extinguisher because the last time we shot a mattress out here, it caught on fire. It's not an... Brian, it's not an RPG. You know if a fire happens, you're not supposed to shoot it like that, right? All right, here we go. I got to get clearance, Zach. Go right ahead, man. Eagle One, this is Ghost Rider requesting clearance to engage target. Roger that. Green light to Ghost Rider. We're good now. Great. Okay. Ghost Rider. Hang on, Fred. Here we go. Oh, wow. I saw a lot of memory foam shoot up over there, Zach. We see any fire? I don't see any smoke. Here's our entry right here. Let's head back there and see if Fred made it. Still going. Zach, it looks like it veered off to the left, actually. And you see like all the memory foam just like everywhere here. Still going. Yes, it's veering left, but it is still going. 23, 24, and it does come out the other side, Zach. Whoa. But Fred is okay. It barely misses Fred. So Fred does survive the video. Whoa. Hooray. But all 24 of our mattresses were no match for the mighty 50 Cal, which is the winner of today's video. It edges out the AK-47. Would have been the upset of the century, but the 50 Cal comes out on top and Fred survives. What a day for the world, mankind. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you in the next episode of YeeYee Life. How many Freds does it take to stop a bullet? Coming at 10 million subscribers.
