Videos tagged with AP Ammunition

This demonstration by Misha's Guns effectively contrasts the performance of Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Armor Piercing (AP) .30-06 ammunition. Firing from an M1 Garand at a steel plate, the video clearly shows the FMJ round creating only a surface mark, while the 1943 Lake City AP round penetrates the steel with a clean hole. The expert demonstrates proper handling of the M1 Garand and identification of vintage ammunition.

This video from Demolition Ranch features an extreme test of Premier Body Armor's custom 9-layer plate against high-powered rifle rounds, including .50 BMG ball, API, and AP. While the plate successfully stops .50 BMG ball and AP rounds with significant deformation, a .50 cal SLAP round failed to chamber in the Serbu BFG-50A. The testing highlights the plate's impressive stopping power against threats that would easily defeat standard armor.

This video tests the M948 SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) 7.62x51mm ammunition using a custom Arisaka rifle. Despite its design for high velocity (4000-4300 FPS) with a tungsten penetrator, aged 1985 and 1990 production rounds failed to penetrate AR450 steel plates. The likely cause is degradation of the polymer sabot over time, leading to instability and loss of armor-piercing effectiveness.

This Q&A video from InRange TV covers a wide range of viewer questions, including firearm operation and safety (CMP Garand, Schuster plug, commercial loads), historical firearms (optical sights, Mauser C96 "Red Nine", Aimo Lahti's influence, VC/NVA AK builds), reloading practices (RCBS press, calibers), controversial firearm accessories (Shockwave, pistol braces, bumpstocks), themed shooting matches (lever guns), relocation experiences (living out west), controversial gun advertising, cybersecurity (VPNs, password managers), InRange TV's target audience, specific handgun evaluations (FN Five-seveN), competitive shooting gear choices (3-gun vs. tactical), AR-15 optics (carry handle vs. Picatinny), time travel and firearms, preferred rifles and optics, physical fitness for competition (Desert Brutality), enjoyable firearms to shoot, surplus Mauser rifles, and the legacy of historical firearm designers. The video also touches on nuclear power.

The Mauser Tankgewehr M1918, the first anti-tank rifle, was tested against a British MkIV tank's armor. It successfully penetrated 12mm AR450 steel at 90 degrees with AP ammunition, causing significant spalling. However, at a 45-degree angle, increasing effective thickness to 16-17mm, the rifle failed to penetrate, highlighting the effectiveness of sloped armor.
