Andreas Wahl is a physicist, but he's not just a physicist. Instead of publishing papers and maybe giving a lecture here or there, he's taken to illustrating the laws of our physical world in particularly extreme ways. Recently, in a video for NRK Viten in Norway, he did it by firing a gun at his own abdomen. Just another day at the office.

Of course he was fine; water is more dense than air which means that a bullet fired at speeds that would be lethal in the air will be slowed to a craw almost instantly underwater. You may recall that time the Mythbusters illustrated it with a dummy. Even so, it's a tiny bit more visceral to see flesh and blood at least appear to be on the line.

This isn't Wahl's first stunt. He's also gotten dropped from 40 feet tied only to a kettle bell and luged through a giant flaming grill to prove points about centrifugal force and evaporation respectively. If only he could find an especially flashy way to prove the Earth is round.
