There's also this one. ▶ this video He shoots the Prince Rupert's drop with a bullet. The bullet wins. In high speed, you can see the bullet splat against the glass and break into shards, long before the glass breaks. Really neat.
He also did a bunch of super slow-motion videos about shooting a Prince Rupert's drop with various firearms: link ▶ this video link
