Duration: 15:07

This video tests the destructive capability of various firearms against a B-52 bomber turbine blade. The MP7's 4.6x30mm rounds primarily ricocheted, while the MP5's 9mm rounds showed minimal effect. The G3, firing 7.62x51mm (.308), successfully shattered the brittle titanium blades, demonstrating the significant difference in terminal ballistics due to higher energy.

Quick Summary

The HK G3, firing 7.62x51mm (.308) rounds, successfully shattered a B-52 bomber's titanium turbine blade, demonstrating superior terminal ballistics compared to the MP7's 4.6x30mm and the MP5's 9mm, which primarily ricocheted or caused minor damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when the Heckler & Koch MP7 was fired at the B-52 bomber turbine blade?

The MP7 fired its 4.6x30mm rounds at the spinning titanium turbine blade. The high-velocity, small rounds mostly ricocheted off the blade or caused minor bending, failing to penetrate or shatter the material.

How did the HK G3 perform against the B-52 turbine blade?

The HK G3, chambered in 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester), demonstrated significantly higher energy. Its rounds successfully caused the brittle titanium turbine blade to shatter and break apart from the disk.

What materials are B-52 bomber turbine blades made of, and how do they react to impact?

The turbine blades tested are made of titanium. While designed for high-pressure environments, they proved to be brittle under the impact of high-energy rifle rounds, shattering when hit by the G3's .308 ammunition.

What everyday carry (EDC) gear was featured in the video?

The video showcased Edwin Sarkissian's EDC setup, including a Grip6 belt known for its low profile and a Vedder Holster, specifically highlighting its 'claw' feature for enhanced concealment of a Glock 19X.
