Videos tagged with Plate Test

This YouTube video description indicates a test of a plate's durability, implying it was subjected to impacts beyond its intended limits, yet it did not fail. The creator promises more testing to come and provides a link to the full test video. The title "Why did this plate get a hole in it? (this shoudn't happen)" is somewhat contradictory to the description stating it didn't fail, suggesting the title might be clickbait or the hole was caused by something unexpected within the test parameters.

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.
