This video from Garand Thumb provides an expert-level analysis of whether Level 4 body armor can stop a .50 caliber round. The host, demonstrating high authority, tests various scenarios using a Steyr HS .50 M1 rifle and specialized ammunition against a Ballistic Dummy Lab torso equipped with Armor Shop Level 4 plates. The tests reveal that while multiple plates can stop a standard .50 BMG FMJ round, the resulting blunt force trauma is likely fatal. Specialized rounds like the Raufoss (APHEI) are shown to be unstoppable by conventional body armor.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of Jaws of Life rescue tools against high-caliber .50 BMG rounds. The first test with a .50 Cal Silver Tip API round created a large crater but did not completely destroy the forged aluminum arm. However, a subsequent shot with a .50 Cal Raufoss round caused catastrophic failure, completely severing the arm.
