TA Targets showcases an extreme warranty claim involving a 1/2 inch AR550 steel target penetrated by an unknown caliber. Despite the damage likely being caused by a .50 BMG Raufoss round, not a .300 Win Mag as initially suggested by the customer, TA Targets replaced the target for free. This highlights their commitment to customer service and their confidence in their product's durability.

This YouTube video highlights the impressive impact of a .50 caliber Raufoss round. The title and hashtags emphasize the power of this ammunition, specifically mentioning "50cal Raufoss round," "slaps hard," and the relevant hashtags #50bmg, #army, and #50cal. The content appears to be a demonstration or showcase of this high-caliber ammunition's performance.
The Adept Armor Colossus Heavy Ultra-AP Rated plate successfully stopped a .50 BMG Black Tip armor-piercing round, though the impact caused significant trauma to the ballistic dummy. A subsequent test with a more powerful Raufoss round (AP-incendiary) penetrated the plate. This demonstrates the plate's impressive capability against standard AP threats but highlights the extreme challenges posed by advanced .50 BMG ammunition.
This video tests the durability of a 'Hi-Point Tesseract,' an epoxy block containing 25 Hi-Point pistols, against high-caliber rounds. The experiment culminates with a Raufoss .50 BMG round fired from a Barrett M82. Despite the explosive impact, the block surprisingly stopped the .50 caliber projectile, demonstrating the resilience of the combined mass.
This video tests the limits of Level 4 body armor against a .50 caliber round. While stacking multiple plates could stop a standard FMJ round, the impact force was likely lethal. Specialized Raufoss rounds, with their explosive and incendiary properties, completely defeated even stacked armor, destroying the test dummy.
This video details the terminal ballistics of various .50 caliber rounds, including the Raufoss Mk 211 APIE, fired from a Steyr HS .50-M1 rifle into ballistic dummies. It highlights the devastating effects of explosive rounds compared to standard FMJ, demonstrating significant internal damage and penetration capabilities against armor and vehicles. The testing emphasizes the specialized nature and extreme power of .50 BMG explosive ammunition.
This video pits a .50 BMG SLAP round against a replica Thor's Hammer, demonstrating the destructive power of various .50 caliber ammunition types. While the hammer's head proved surprisingly durable, the SLAP round successfully penetrated it, outperforming Raufoss and APIT rounds in pure penetration, though the latter two offered incendiary effects. The test highlights the significant kinetic energy and specialized capabilities of .50 BMG rounds.
This video demonstrates the extreme penetration power of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu RN-50, against multiple 45-pound weight plates. Both a Raufoss HEIAP round and an armor-piercing black tip round were tested, with both rounds easily penetrating the plates and subsequent barriers like concrete and cinder blocks. The Raufoss round also produced a significant explosive effect upon impact.
This video tests the ballistic penetration capabilities of various calibers against a Honda Shadow 750 motorcycle. The .50 BMG Raufoss round was stopped by the engine block, while APIT and standard AP rounds penetrated. Lesser calibers like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm were ineffective, but a .500 S&W Magnum penetrated the gas tank. The engine block proved to be surprisingly effective cover against most tested rounds.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of .50 cal SLAP rounds against 1-inch AR500 steel. The SLAP round successfully penetrated the AR500 but was stopped by a subsequent stainless steel plate. A second test with sand recovered a tungsten core fragment. A Raufoss Mk 211 round was also tested, penetrating nearly 3/4 inch into the AR500.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of three .50 BMG rounds against a 1.5-inch titanium plate. The SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) round with a tungsten core demonstrated superior performance, fully penetrating the plate. The Raufoss round, despite its incendiary and explosive features, got stuck, and the standard Black Tip round showed less penetration than the SLAP.
