Thompson/Center Arms details the construction of a new 100-yard private gun range at their HQ. The range features a Goliath 4x4 Bullet Bunker made of AR500 steel for projectile containment, a natural hillside backstop, and railroad tie reinforcement for added safety. The facility will include a covered shooting station with video monitoring for real-time feedback during testing and prototyping, powered in part by solar energy.

This video showcases a custom-built 'Frankenstein' helmet, inspired by Iron Man, designed to withstand high-caliber rounds. Initial testing with an FN SCAR 17 firing 7.62x51mm rounds demonstrated the helmet's ability to deflect the projectile with only superficial damage. However, a subsequent test with a Serbu BFG-50A firing a .50 BMG API round resulted in the complete destruction of the helmet, highlighting the limitations of AR500 steel against such powerful ammunition.

This video demonstrates the significant difference in durability between AR500 and AR550 steel target systems when subjected to high-velocity armor-piercing ammunition. The presenter, Brenon from TA Targets, showcases how their 3/8" AR500 Genesis target is easily penetrated by 300 Winchester Magnum AP rounds, while their 1/2" AR550 Exodus target remains undamaged. The content emphasizes that not all steel is created equal and highlights the superior engineering and material science behind TA Targets' premium AR550 systems, positioning them as a long-lasting, reliable investment.
