This video provides an expert-level demonstration and analysis of the .308 SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) round, showcasing its extreme armor-piercing capabilities. The host, demonstrating high authority and practical experience, uses specialized equipment to test the round against a Level 3 riot shield and AR500 steel plate, clocking velocities up to 4070 fps. The insights highlight the round's effectiveness and potential danger, offering valuable data for those interested in high-performance ammunition and ballistic testing.

This guide details the critical safety procedure for firing .50 BMG SLAP rounds, emphasizing the mandatory removal of the muzzle brake. The video demonstrates the significantly increased recoil experienced without a brake and the projectile's impact. Expert instruction highlights the dangers of sabot detachment if the brake is not removed, underscoring a safety-first approach to experimental shooting with specialized ammunition.

This video details a ballistics test comparing the penetration capabilities of three .50 BMG rounds against a 1.5-inch titanium plate. Expert Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates the performance of a SLAP round, a Raufoss NM140 MP, and a standard Black Tip round. The SLAP round proved most effective, achieving full penetration and demonstrating superior terminal ballistics compared to the others.

This video tests the M948 SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) 7.62x51mm ammunition using a custom Arisaka rifle. Despite its design for high velocity (4000-4300 FPS) with a tungsten penetrator, aged 1985 and 1990 production rounds failed to penetrate AR450 steel plates. The likely cause is degradation of the polymer sabot over time, leading to instability and loss of armor-piercing effectiveness.
