the bullet wasn't stopped, it was just deflected, no? that's how it looked in the gif.

Those look like some industrial strength balloons.

Mythbusters did something like this with shooting into water. If I recall correctly they said that if you are about 3 feet under water you would be perfectly safe. They even shot a .50 and it basically disintegrated the bullet as soon as it hit the water.

For some strange reason, my testicles hurt after watching that.
