20mm vs Aluminium Blocks

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms against a telephone pole, culminating with a .50 BMG sniper rifle. Smaller calibers like 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .223 Remington, and 12 Gauge slugs were stopped by the pole. However, the .50 BMG round easily penetrated the pole and impacted a dummy behind it, demonstrating its significant power.

This video tests the destructive power of a 20mm round fired from a Serbu Typhon 20 cannon into a Clear Ballistics gel torso backed by a 2.5-inch aluminum block. High-speed footage reveals the immense energy transfer and penetration capabilities of the large caliber projectile. The test concludes with an inspection of the gel, the aluminum block's impact zone, and the recovered, mushroomed projectile.

This video showcases the destructive power of a 20mm round fired from a Serbu 20mm rifle through two sections of railroad track. The test, conducted in a desert environment with an anvil backstop, demonstrates the projectile's ability to penetrate thick steel. Slow-motion footage provides a detailed analysis of the impact and the resulting damage.

This YouTube Shorts video highlights the impressive power and capabilities of the Barrett .50 BMG sniper rifle. While the description provides links to other channels and a podcast, the core content focuses on this iconic large-caliber rifle, often associated with long-range engagements and significant ballistic performance. The video likely showcases the rifle's size, features, and possibly its firing characteristics.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 20mm armor-piercing tracer round against a 1-inch thick AR500 steel plate. Despite the massive caliber, the 20mm round failed to penetrate the steel, surprisingly showing less penetration depth than a .50 caliber AP round previously tested on the same target. This outcome is attributed to the larger surface area of the 20mm projectile and the extreme hardness of the AR500 steel.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a 20mm rifle against propane tanks, showcasing significant explosions and ballistics. The experiment involves multiple shots from the Serbu 20mm rifle, with slow-motion footage highlighting the impact. A final propane tank is then dispatched with an AK-47, resulting in a large fireball. The content emphasizes experimental high-caliber firearm demonstrations.

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.
