20MM TUNGSTEN VS TITANIUM

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a 20mm rifle against a cast-iron fire hydrant. The initial shot created a clean entry and a jagged exit hole, while a second shot with a practice round completely shattered the hydrant's body. The experiment highlights the brittle nature of cast iron when subjected to high-velocity impacts and the significant energy of 20mm ordnance.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a hydraulic press on a 40mm L/70 HE-PFPX M822 anti-aircraft round. The press successfully breaches the casing, revealing the internal fragmentation sleeve packed with a tungsten sphere matrix. A technical diagram further illustrates the projectile's components, including the proximity fuze and explosive charge.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a thick sewer lid against various firearms. A 20mm practice round failed to penetrate, causing only minor surface damage. However, a 20mm tungsten armor-piercing round successfully penetrated the cast iron lid. A full-auto MP5 firing 9mm rounds also failed to significantly damage the lid, highlighting the effectiveness of the sewer lid's material against smaller calibers.

This video focuses on the detailed disassembly of 20mm HARDCORE ammunition, specifically the KAE Oerlikon AutoCannon TUNGSTEN 20x128mm. The title and description emphasize the 'HARDCORE' nature of the ammo and highlight its Tungsten composition, indicating a deep dive into its construction and components. The tags suggest a strong focus on military, army, and ammunition-related content, appealing to enthusiasts interested in the technical aspects of ordnance.

This video focuses on the Vulcan 20mm APDS (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot) ammunition, specifically highlighting both the "white" and "red" enhanced variants. The "red" variant is noted to feature a tungsten penetrator, indicating a focus on its armor-piercing capabilities. The title and description strongly suggest a detailed examination or demonstration of this high-caliber military ordnance, likely emphasizing its power and design for defeating hardened targets.

This video provides a detailed breakdown of a German 25x137mm APDS (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot) round, specifically the DM54 variant used with the M242 Bushmaster cannon. It visually demonstrates the disassembly process, highlighting the tungsten penetrator and the sabot mechanism. The content emphasizes the specialized nature of this military-grade ammunition and its construction for high-velocity armor penetration.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
