This video from Banana Ballistics, featuring an expert firearms instructor, tests the stopping power of three .50 caliber anti-aircraft rounds: M1 Blue Tip, M20 APIT, and M8 API. The M1 Blue Tip demonstrates significant incendiary effects on a ballistic torso but only minor damage to AR550 steel. The M20 APIT and M8 API show armor-piercing capabilities against steel plates, with the M8 API failing to penetrate a 1.5-inch mild steel plate.

This video from 1ShotTV provides an expert-level assessment of the .308 SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) round's capabilities. Demonstrating extreme armor-piercing potential, the SLAP round, featuring a tungsten penetrator within a sabot, achieved a velocity of 4070 fps. It effortlessly defeated a Level 3 riot shield and a hardened AR500 steel plate, showcasing its effectiveness against hard barriers. The host, exhibiting high authority through practical testing and technical knowledge, highlights the round's dangerous nature and high cost.

This video provides an in-depth comparison of the M995 and M855A1 5.56mm rounds, showcasing their performance against various steel plates and concrete. The M995, featuring a tungsten carbide penetrator, demonstrates significantly superior penetration capabilities compared to the M855A1, especially against hardened steel targets. The host, from Banana Ballistics, highlights the M995's effectiveness and its high cost.

The 6.5x25mm CBJ cartridge offers significant armor-piercing capabilities, even outperforming standard rifle rounds against hardened steel. It achieves this by utilizing a small, high-velocity tungsten penetrator within a sabot, scaled down from tank ammunition technology. The cartridge is designed for easy conversion of existing 9x19mm platforms like the Glock and MP5 with just a barrel change, maintaining compatibility with standard magazines and bolts.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of the 6.5mm CBJ APDS round fired from a modified Glock pistol against a 7mm hardened armor plate from a Russian MT-LB APC. Standard 9mm, 5.56mm, and 7.62mm NATO rounds failed to penetrate, only causing minor damage or dimples. The 6.5mm CBJ APDS round, however, successfully penetrated the armor cleanly, demonstrating its significantly higher performance.

This video details the assembly of a 30mm APFSDS-T round, showcasing the attachment of tail fins, sabot petals, and a retaining ring before insertion into the cartridge case. It then demonstrates live fire from a Mk44 Bushmaster cannon, highlighting the projectile's high velocity, approximately five times the speed of sound. The content emphasizes the technical aspects of military-grade ammunition and its application.

This video details the manufacturing and application of the 25mm M919 APFSDST round. It showcases the CNC machining of the penetrator and 3D printing of sabot components, followed by manual assembly. Technical animations reveal a muzzle velocity of 1420 m/s and a depleted uranium penetrator, with combat footage demonstrating its real-world effectiveness.

This video details the assembly of the 25mm M919 APFSDS-T round for the M2 Bradley IFV. It covers the critical steps of attaching the fin assembly to the penetrator, fitting the sabot petals for a flight seal, and installing the obturator for a gas-tight seal. The final step shows the projectile being inserted into the 25mm cartridge case, highlighting the precision required for this advanced military ammunition.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of the .300 Winchester Magnum armor-piercing round against various steel thicknesses and RMA's XRT Special Threat Plate. The Swiss P AP round successfully penetrated 1.25 inches of mild steel and the XRT plate, demonstrating significant armor-piercing power. While the XRT plate stopped the standard MK 248 Mod 1 round, it was defeated by the AP variant. The test concludes that the .300 Win Mag AP round is highly effective against most common barriers.

This video clip humorously depicts a flawed attempt at creating armor-piercing bullets for alien combat, highlighting severe firearm and ammunition safety errors. The scene satirizes movie inaccuracies by showing bullets being improperly handled and potentially microwaved, a dangerous action. It serves as a cautionary tale about firearm handling and ammunition safety, albeit within a fictional, over-the-top context.

This video tests the durability of AR550 and AR500 steel targets by shooting them with M61 300 Winchester Magnum Armor Piercing rounds.
