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

I think the last balloon catches the bullet.

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.

To make it more interesting, have Alx stand behind the 4th balloon.

I couldn't do that to Alx, but I know several that I may try to talk into it after they've had a few.

What do you have to take cover with for any shots after the first one?
