Like the "how many gallon jugs will stop a bullet" question, this only has validity if one is worried about being attacked by water balloons. Personally, if attacked with water balloons I've always retaliated with same.

Re: 44 Mag vs water balloons
Guess the only true test of bullet performance is on living, breathing; bone, skin, muscle and bodily fluids. I was betting it would have broken all the balloons

Re: 44 Mag vs water balloons
I was betting 7 balloons myself! It must be true, the 44 mag is such a wimpy cartridge. Don't know what Elmer was thinking!

Re: 44 Mag vs water balloons
Never send a 44 Mag to do a 454 Casull or 460's work. Hah! I said it!

What they don't tell you in the video is that all ammunition made for sale in California has powder reductions cut by 62%.
Here in Pa. or in Texas, the ammo would go clear through all of the balloons, across the mountain and into the ghettos....where they belong.

Re: 44 Mag vs water balloons
Six, if you look on the packages of 44 mag ammo and velocities, I just don't see how that could be so? Please advise Old Friend! -Tutt

Tutt,
I had a rough week....only being sarcastic towards California's policies.
I'm getting worse as each year goes on....I need to retire and get away from this eastern rat race.------6
