This video details a test of 50 BMG Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer (APIT) rounds against an 'indestructible' sledgehammer and an AR500 steel target. The presenter, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the significant penetration capabilities of the APIT rounds, first through a 50-yard AR500 steel target and then into the hardened steel head of the sledgehammer. The results highlight the extreme destructive power of the 50 BMG caliber when using specialized ammunition.
This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, demonstrating the capabilities of a prototype .50 BMG rated body armor vest from Safe Life Defense. The testing includes live fire with a Serbu BFG-50A rifle using .50 BMG APIT rounds, showcasing the vest's ability to stop high-caliber threats. The analysis details the Kevlar and ceramic construction and its effectiveness against multiple calibers, including 7.62x39mm and 5.56mm.
This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of a Humvee bulletproof glass windshield against various high-powered rifle rounds. The testing, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, showcases the windshield's ability to withstand multiple impacts from calibers like 50 BMG, 30-06, 5.56mm, 45-70, 458 SOCOM, 7.62x39mm, 308 Winchester, and 7.62x51mm NATO, highlighting the effectiveness of its multi-layered construction.
This video showcases the extreme ballistics of the Serbu 20mm Rifle (Typhon) as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. The rifle, a single-shot bolt-action firearm, is chambered in 20mm and utilizes specialized Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer (APIT) ammunition. The experiment involves firing the rifle at railroad tracks to test its penetration capabilities, highlighting the immense power and destructive potential of this caliber. The demonstration emphasizes the rifle's effectiveness in extreme ballistics testing and long-range applications.
This video demonstrates the impact of a .50 BMG armor-piercing incendiary tracer round on a bowling ball. The test utilizes a Crickett BFG 50A rifle. The bowling ball, when struck, cracked open, revealing its internal composition, but the bullet did not appear to fully penetrate. The test highlights the durability of bowling ball materials against high-caliber rifle rounds.
This video conducts a series of ballistic tests comparing different calibers and ammunition types against stacked cast iron skillets. The Serbu BFG-50 firing a 50 BMG API-T round penetrated 14 skillets, while a 458 SOCOM Extreme Penetrator stopped on the fifth. A 44 Magnum Extreme Penetrator stopped on the second skillet, and a 50 AE round penetrated three skillets. The tests highlight significant differences in penetration capabilities based on caliber and projectile construction.
This debrief covers the Armalite AR-50A1 rifle after a year of testing, during which 412 rounds of .50 BMG were fired. The rifle maintained sub-MOA accuracy, and the Nikon Black X1000 scope proved rugged and held zero despite accidental drops. The Midwest Industries Extreme Duty mount was also highlighted for its security.
This video demonstrates the destructive power of a Serbu BFG-50A rifle chambered in .50 BMG against multiple Brother printers. The .50 BMG round, specifically an Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer, is shown to easily penetrate and destroy the printers, highlighting the significant ballistic capabilities of the caliber and rifle system against common office equipment.
This video from The VSO Gun Channel tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG round through a large block of ice. The experiment uses Freedom Munitions Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer rounds fired from an Armalite AR-50A1. The test highlights the significant energy transfer and fragmentation of the projectile upon impact, even through a substantial ice barrier. It also touches on recoil management for .50 BMG rifles and the importance of robust optics.
