Videos tagged with Water Penetration

This video tests the myth of water being bulletproof by firing various firearms, from 9mm handguns to a .50 BMG rifle, into a water tank. Results show that even high-powered rounds like the .50 BMG are significantly slowed or stopped by water, failing to penetrate to the target. The tests demonstrate water's effectiveness in dissipating projectile energy.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of an Intex swimming pool against various calibers, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. Water proved to be a surprisingly effective barrier, with even high-powered rounds like the .50 BMG disintegrating quickly. The .50 AE round traveled the furthest, nearly crossing the pool, while smaller rifle rounds fragmented rapidly.

This YouTube video from TheFireArmGuy compares the penetration effects of .45 ACP hollow point (HP) ammunition versus full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition when fired into water. The description highlights that the results were "amazing," suggesting a notable difference in how each bullet type performs upon impact and travels through the water medium. The video likely provides visual evidence of the expansion and integrity of the hollow points and the penetration of the FMJ rounds.
