Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers were compared in the energy test?

The energy test compared four different calibers: .22lr, .223, .308, and the powerful .50 BMG. Water bottles were used as targets to visualize the impact energy of each round.

How did the .22lr perform in the energy test?

The .22lr showed minimal energy transfer. It passed through a series of water bottles without causing a significant explosive effect, indicating low retained energy upon impact.

Were the results of the .223 caliber surprising?

Yes, the host noted that the .223 caliber appeared to have even less energy transfer than the .22lr in this specific test setup, only managing to burst one water bottle.

What was the impact of the .50 BMG round?

The .50 BMG round had a massive impact, destroying all three water bottles, blasting a hole through the wooden support board, and leaving a visible crater in the ground behind the target.
