WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SHOOT A PROPANE TANK?

This video demonstrates the durability of a Shoot Steel target against a .50 BMG rifle. Despite two direct hits from a heavy caliber round at close range, the AR500 steel target showed no warping or significant damage, only surface paint removal. The test confirms the target's resilience and suitability for extreme calibers.

This video tests the penetration power of various calibers through traffic cones, culminating with a .50 BMG sniper rifle. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and .380 ACP are stopped by a few cones, while 9mm and .44 Magnum require more. A .223 AR-15 penetrates ten cones, a .50 AE Desert Eagle stops after 12, and the .50 BMG obliterates 15 cones and a dummy.

This video from Banana Ballistics demonstrates the effects of .50 BMG Blue Tip incendiary ammunition. The creator, exhibiting high authority in specialized ballistics content, showcases the round's performance against steel and ballistic torso targets. The demonstration highlights the significant flash and smoke produced upon impact, emphasizing the incendiary nature of the ammunition.

This video demonstrates the significant reduction in concussive muzzle blast when using a Barrett QDL suppressor on a Barrett M107 rifle. Through a high-speed camera experiment with a ballistic dummy hand, the host visually proves the suppressor's effectiveness in mitigating the extreme forces of the .50 BMG round, preventing damage to the dummy hand that occurs with the unsuppressed muzzle brake.

This video demonstrates an extreme long-range shot on a propane tank at half a mile (880 yards) using a suppressed .50 BMG rifle. The successful impact resulted in a significant explosion, showcasing the power and precision required for such a feat. The shooter's celebratory reaction highlights the difficulty and satisfaction of achieving this extreme range target.

This experiment tests the penetration power of various calibers through 500 stacked paper plates. Results show a significant difference in stopping power, with smaller calibers like .22 LR penetrating fewer plates than larger rifle rounds. The .50 BMG round, in particular, demonstrated extreme penetration, going through all plates and heavily damaging the target.

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.
