Videos tagged with M2 AP

This video appears to cover a range of firearms, including M2 AP ammunition, an Ithaca 1911A1 pistol, and an Argentine Mauser rifle. It also mentions the Bodyguard 2.0, likely referring to a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard revolver. The title suggests a focus on showcasing these specific firearms, potentially for review, comparison, or a range day experience. Given the inclusion of specific models and ammunition, the content is highly relevant to firearms enthusiasts.

This video empirically tests the .30-06 Springfield cartridge's effectiveness, particularly against steel penetration, debunking the 'fudd cartridge' myth. While some loads like the Hornady 178gr ELD-X failed to penetrate 1/2 inch steel, others like the Federal 165gr Bonded Soft Point succeeded. Specialized rounds, including military M2 AP and M14A1 API, demonstrated significant penetration capabilities, with the M2 AP penetrating up to 1 inch of mild steel. The .30-06 is concluded to be a highly capable cartridge, comparable to modern alternatives like the .308 Winchester, especially with high-pressure or specialized loads.

This video compares the barrier penetration capabilities of the .270 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield cartridges. While both calibers performed similarly against lumber and sand with standard loads, the .30-06 demonstrated superior performance against concrete and thicker steel plates, ultimately winning the barrier test. The WOOX Furiosa chassis is also highlighted for its adjustability.

This video rigorously tests the M80A1 .308 projectile against various steel targets, demonstrating its superior penetration compared to standard M80 rounds and many other AP projectiles. While it penetrates 3/4-inch mild steel and 3/8-inch AR500 steel, it is stopped by 1-inch mild steel. The M80A1 also shows impressive performance against concrete backed by steel.

This video tests the integrity of RMA body armor after news of its NIJ certification loss. The creator uses M2 AP .30-06 ammunition, the standard for plate certification, to see if it can penetrate an RMA armor plate. The test aims to visually demonstrate the armor's failure point when subjected to this specific round. The description also includes promotional links for the creator's social media, Patreon, Utreon, Rumble, a political comedy channel, a modern gun school, and a discount code for Challenge Targets.

This InRangeTV video tests the effectiveness of .50 BMG M2 AP ammunition against hardened AR450 steel plates using a PGM Hecate II rifle. The AP round easily penetrates two stacked 3/8-inch plates, demonstrating immense energy transfer. Standard Ball ammunition fails to penetrate but causes significant damage. The video also provides historical context and discusses modern alternatives.

This test evaluates the penetration capabilities of 30-06 M2 AP ammunition against 3/4" AR500 steel plates. While standard M2 Ball failed to penetrate, the M2 AP round successfully pierced the first 3/8" plate but was stopped by the second. Stacking plates significantly altered penetration mechanics, reducing the blowout effect and stopping the AP core more effectively than a single plate of equivalent thickness.
