This video tests the penetration capabilities of the expensive Raufoss .50 BMG round against steel plates, comparing it to cheaper Israeli API rounds. The Desert Tech HTI rifle, a compact bullpup, is used for testing. While both rounds penetrate 1.25-inch steel, neither fully penetrates 1.75-inch steel, though the Raufoss shows a more significant incendiary effect.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of .50 BMG rounds, including standard ball and M2 Armor Piercing (AP), against various steel plates. It reveals that 3/4-inch mild steel can stop standard ball rounds, while 1.5-inch mild steel is required to embed authentic M2 AP rounds. AR550 steel, even at 1/2-inch thickness, demonstrates superior resistance, stopping both types of rounds with minimal damage.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, including .300 Win Mag, against hardened steel anvils and steel plates. The Nemo Omen rifle chambered in .300 Win Mag is showcased, featuring a carbon fiber barrel and Vortex Razor scope. Testing reveals that only the top surface of the hardened anvil is significantly resistant to impact, with larger calibers like .338 Lapua, .408 CheyTac, and .50 BMG demonstrating more effective penetration on the hardened surface.
This video features a ballistic test comparing the penetration capabilities of different calibers against AR500 steel plates at 600 yards and closer. The calibers tested are 6mm Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and 7mm Sherman Short. The experiment aims to be a fun demonstration with surprising results, encouraging viewer predictions. The description also includes promotional codes and links for various firearm-related brands and products, such as Axil Hearing Pro, RTS Tactical, Cole-Tac, Trigger Interactive, and WARNE Mounts, alongside a link to PRN Swag and a mention of Artlist for music.
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 video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against mild steel plates of different thicknesses. Notably, rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm from AK platforms penetrated 1/4 inch steel but were stopped by 1/2 inch. Handgun rounds like .357 Magnum and 9mm +P failed to penetrate even the 1/4 inch plate. Specialized rounds like SS109 easily penetrated 1/4 inch steel, while the .45-70 Government, despite its power, failed to penetrate due to bullet construction.
