Videos tagged with Concrete Penetration

This video demonstrates a concrete penetration test comparing the AK-47 (7.62x39mm) and the M16A1 (5.56x45mm NATO). An experienced shooter highlights the differences in projectile impact and concrete fragmentation, with the AK-47 showing more explosive results due to its larger caliber's momentum. The demonstration emphasizes safe firearm handling and proper range setup.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of specialized Israeli .50 BMG ammunition, including API and APIT rounds, from the Banana Ballistics channel. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, utilizes a Desert Tech HTI rifle and advanced testing equipment like the RangeCraft chronograph to evaluate penetration capabilities against various steel targets (AR550, AR500), ballistic gelatin, and even concrete. The testing reveals the impressive, though not absolute, armor-piercing and incendiary effects of these military-grade rounds.

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.

This YouTube video poses a direct question about the penetration capabilities of a .308 caliber round through concrete. While the description is brief, the title clearly indicates a test or demonstration related to firearm performance against a specific material. The video likely explores ballistic data, potentially involving live-fire tests, to answer this question, appealing to firearm enthusiasts interested in the power and limitations of rifle calibers.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides an expert-level comparison between the .45-70 Government and 12 Gauge slugs for bear defense scenarios. The host, demonstrating high authority through structured testing and detailed analysis, utilizes a Garmin chronograph and various media like pine, sand, concrete, steel, and ballistic gel to assess penetration, structural damage, and energy transfer. The data-driven, energetic presentation highlights the distinct performance characteristics of each caliber, offering valuable insights for firearm enthusiasts and those concerned with large predator defense.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a concrete parking curb against a variety of firearm calibers, from .44 Magnum to .50 BMG. The testing, conducted by experienced individuals from Yee Yee Life, shows that smaller calibers create craters but do not penetrate, while the .50 BMG round completely obliterates the curb and severs rebar. The results highlight the significant terminal ballistics of larger caliber rounds.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of 9mm +P and 10mm Auto ballistics, featuring a host with high expertise in terminal ballistics. Through controlled testing on an outdoor range, the video demonstrates penetration capabilities against lumber, sand, concrete, mild steel, and ballistic gel, utilizing a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph for data verification. The 10mm Auto consistently shows superior performance in barrier penetration and energy transfer, though 9mm +P performs better than often expected.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides an in-depth analysis of the M80A1 projectile, comparing its extreme .308 performance against various steel and concrete targets. The expert demonstrates its superior penetration capabilities compared to standard M80 and other AP rounds, highlighting its construction and ballistic data.

This video conducts a concrete penetration test comparing the AR-15 (chambered in 5.56x45mm) and the AK-47 (chambered in 7.62x39mm). The test utilizes 100lb concrete slabs within 5-gallon buckets. The results indicate that the 7.62x39mm caliber is significantly more effective at penetrating hard barriers like concrete compared to the 5.56x45mm caliber.

This video features an "Ultimate Barrier Testing" competition between 300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm ammunition, conducted by Banana Ballistics. The host, demonstrating high expertise with structured comparative testing and ballistic data, evaluates each round's performance against various barriers including lumber, sand, concrete, and steel plates. Ultimately, 300 Blackout is declared the winner of the competition due to its superior performance across most barrier types, despite 5.56's advantage against steel.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This video tests the penetration depth of various firearm calibers into solid concrete. The host demonstrates that while pistol rounds have minimal effect, rifle calibers like 5.56mm, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Winchester show increasing penetration, with the .308 achieving the deepest penetration among the tested rifle rounds. An exploding 12-gauge shotgun slug is also tested, demonstrating significant surface destruction but shallow penetration. The video concludes by testing the cumulative effect of 19 rounds of 7.62x39mm on a concrete block, which penetrates about halfway.
