Can human teeth stop a bullet?

I would have guessed no, but I saw this happen in the punisher and also in Mind Hunter, which is a real story. Has this ever been properly tested?

    No, they can't. Bullets break human teeth very easily because bullets are made out of metal.

    Mythbusters tried that. Teeth aren't strong enough to be able to squeeze the bullet hard enough to stop the bullet in its tracks. In tests the teeth crumbled as they tried to grasp the bullet. The enamel in teeth would have to be several times harder so as not to crumble and even then the force needed to squeeze the bullet hard enough to stop it is far higher than the jaw muscles can produce. Even if the Human body was strong enough to stop bullets with their teeth the kinetic energy in the bullet would almost certainly cause great harm to any Human who tried this trick.

    Erm, are you talking about the state magic trick? That's not real... No, of course teeth can't stop a bullet.

    Nope, mythbusters tested this and it’s impossible
