Could You Defeat A TERMINATOR ??? 🤖

Published on June 8, 2022
Duration: 20:14

This video tests real-world firearms against a Terminator replica to determine stopping power. While smaller calibers like .22 Magnum and 9mm failed to penetrate, larger calibers and shotguns showed increasing effectiveness. The .500 Nitro Express pistol broke under recoil, and only the .600 Nitro Express elephant gun and .50 BMG achieved full penetration, highlighting the extreme power needed to defeat such a hypothetical threat.

Quick Summary

Only the most powerful firearms, specifically the .600 Nitro Express elephant gun and the .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A, achieved full penetration through the Terminator replica's chassis. Lesser calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, and even .50 AE, failed to penetrate the target's front plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were tested against the Terminator replica?

Tests included handguns like the Kel-Tec PMR-30 (.22 Mag), Glock 17 (9mm), Kimber Rapide (10mm), Desert Eagles (.44 Mag, .50 AE), S&W 500, and .500 Nitro Express. Shotguns (12ga, 10ga) and rifles (AR-15 5.56 NATO, AK-47 7.62x39mm, HCAR .30-06) were also used, culminating with a .600 Nitro Express and a .50 BMG.

Which firearms successfully penetrated the Terminator replica?

Most handguns and standard rifle calibers failed to achieve full penetration. Significant damage was noted with .30-06, but only the .600 Nitro Express elephant gun and the .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A were able to penetrate the chassis completely.

Did any firearms break during the Terminator test?

Yes, the .500 Nitro Express pistol broke during the test due to the extreme recoil generated by its powerful cartridge. This highlights the immense forces involved when testing such high-energy firearms.

What was the most effective shotgun tested against the Terminator?

While 12 gauge buckshot caused damage, the 10 gauge buckshot delivered enough energy to physically knock the Terminator replica over. This demonstrated a significant transfer of kinetic energy, though not necessarily full penetration.
