Alien invasion 👽

Duration: 7:26

This video tests an alien-themed target with high-caliber firearms. The .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A, using API-T rounds, created clean pass-throughs due to high velocity, failing to produce an explosive effect. A .50 AE Desert Eagle with hollow points offered a different terminal ballistics result. The creator suggests binary explosives might be needed for a more dramatic impact.

Quick Summary

The .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A, firing API-T rounds at over 3,000 fps, created clean pass-throughs in the durable alien target due to its high velocity. A .50 AE Desert Eagle with hollow points offered a different terminal effect, focusing on expansion rather than penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were used to test the alien target?

The video features a Serbu BFG-50A semi-automatic rifle chambered in .50 BMG and a Magnum Research Desert Eagle L5 pistol chambered in .50 AE. Both firearms were used to test the durability and impact effects on the target.

What type of ammunition was used in the .50 BMG rifle test?

The .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A was loaded with Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer (API-T) rounds, identifiable by their red and silver tips. These were chosen for visual feedback and to test the target's resistance to high-velocity projectiles.

Why didn't the .50 BMG rounds cause an explosive effect on the alien target?

At velocities around 3,000 feet per second, the .50 BMG rounds were too fast to dump all their energy into the target material. This resulted in clean pass-throughs rather than significant fragmentation or an explosive reaction.

What was the outcome of testing the Desert Eagle L5 with hollow point ammunition?

The Desert Eagle L5, chambered in .50 AE and using Underwood hollow point ammunition, provided a different terminal effect. The hollow points are designed to expand upon impact, offering a contrast to the piercing nature of the rifle rounds.
