Duration: 8:11

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a thick titanium plate against a 20mm cannon. Despite multiple direct hits from armor-piercing rounds, the titanium plate showed remarkable durability, sustaining deep craters but no full penetration. A tungsten penetrator round was attempted but missed the target.

Quick Summary

A thick titanium plate was tested against a 20mm cannon, with armor-piercing rounds creating deep craters but failing to achieve full penetration. This demonstrates titanium's impressive durability against heavy ordnance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a 20mm cannon penetrate a thick titanium plate?

In this test, a thick titanium plate withstood multiple direct hits from 20mm armor-piercing rounds. While the impacts created deep craters, the plate did not achieve full penetration, demonstrating titanium's significant ballistic resistance.

What types of 20mm ammunition were tested against the titanium plate?

The video primarily tested 20mm armor-piercing (AP) rounds against the titanium plate. An attempt was also made with a tungsten penetrator round, though it missed the target due to sighting issues.

How durable is titanium armor against heavy ordnance like a 20mm cannon?

The test suggests that thick titanium armor is highly durable against 20mm cannon fire. The plate sustained significant damage in the form of deep craters but remained intact without penetration from AP rounds.

What is the Serbu 20mm Cannon?

The Serbu 20mm Cannon is a large-caliber firearm used in this test. It is typically tripod-mounted and capable of firing various 20mm ammunition types, including armor-piercing rounds.
