Non-Newtonian Fluid Stop a Bullet?


I just saw a YouTube video about Non-Newtonian fluids where people could actually walk on the surface of the fluid but if they stood still, they'd sink. Cool stuff.


Now, I'm wondering: Could a pool of Non-Newtonian fluid stop a bullet? Why or why not?


If so, if you put this stuff inside of a vest, it would make an effective bullet-proof vest, wouldn't it?
