The MythBusters demonstrated that pykrete is bulletproof by subjecting a wastebasket-sized chunk of ice and another of pykrete to a close range impact (approximately 10 ft or 3.0 m) by a .45 caliber round. The ice shattered upon impact, and the bullet easily penetrated it.
When tested against a commercial ice pack for twenty minutes, the mixture worked just as well, although the commercial ice pack was slightly better by about half a degree Celsius or one degree Fahrenheit (about 18.3 °F or −7.6 °C for the commercial ice pack against 19.4 °F or −7.0 °C in the vodka/water mixture).
