Update on the 50bmg underwater

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound kettlebell against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The kettlebell demonstrated significant resistance, stopping or significantly deforming most rounds. However, the powerful .50 BMG round ultimately penetrated the kettlebell, exiting through the bottom/side. The test highlights the surprising durability of the kettlebell against common handgun and rifle rounds but its limitations against extreme calibers.

This video explores the reasons behind firearm performance inconsistencies, explaining why some guns function exceptionally well while others, even with the same model and serial number or shooter, are considered 'lemons.' The discussion features Maggie and aims to shed light on factors affecting gun reliability and shooter experience. The description also includes promotional links for the channel's Patreon, merchandise, and recommended products.

This video demonstrates a highly dangerous and ill-advised experiment involving heating a 50 BMG round on a stove, humorously referred to as a 'forbidden hot dog.' The experiment results in a violent detonation, destroying a metal pan and highlighting the extreme hazards of mishandling live ammunition. The creator emphasizes the destructive power of the 50 BMG round and strongly advises against replicating such actions.

This video demonstrates an experimental setup where a .50 BMG cartridge is attached to an air rifle. The objective is to use the air rifle's projectile to strike the primer of the .50 BMG cartridge, intending to cause an explosion. The air rifle is modified for remote firing, and safety features are disabled. The experiment results in a massive explosion.

This video explores a highly dangerous and unscientific experiment: taping a 50 BMG round to an air rifle to see if it creates a 'super powerful sniper rifle'. The setup involves a pull string for remote firing. Upon firing, the result is an uncontrolled explosion, highlighting the severe risks of such modifications. The narrator's lack of expertise and the inherent dangers make this a cautionary tale rather than instructional content.

This video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

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.
