This video from T.A. Targets demonstrates the critical differences in steel target plate performance based on material composition and thickness, even when using barrier-defeating ammunition. The instructor, with extensive experience manufacturing steel targets since 2015, highlights that not all steel targets are created equal and unsafe targets can be deadly. The testing reveals that AR550 steel, particularly in thicker variants, significantly outperforms AR500 steel in resisting penetration from advanced military ammunition like M855A1 and M80A1, as well as historical M2 rounds. The video emphasizes the importance of choosing reputable manufacturers and understanding target limitations for safe and effective training.
