50cal SLAP vs AR500 Steel

This video demonstrates the extreme penetration power of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu RN-50, against multiple 45-pound weight plates. Both a Raufoss HEIAP round and an armor-piercing black tip round were tested, with both rounds easily penetrating the plates and subsequent barriers like concrete and cinder blocks. The Raufoss round also produced a significant explosive effect upon impact.

This video tests the ballistic impact of various firearms, from 9mm to .50 BMG, against a 35lb kettlebell. Lower calibers like 9mm and .44 Magnum only cause superficial scratches, while rifles like the SCAR 17 begin to create indentations. The AWM's precision rounds cause significant craters, and the .50 BMG round penetrates deeply, nearly splitting the kettlebell.

This video tests the durability of AR550 and AR500 steel targets by shooting them with M61 300 Winchester Magnum Armor Piercing rounds. The creators aim to debunk claims that they gaslight viewers about their target quality, demonstrating their products' resilience against powerful ammunition. The video also includes a look at the rifle used, comparisons of target impacts, and a discussion about the current state of the gun community, offering a chance to win a prize. Recommended products and contact information for the company are also provided.

A test was conducted to see if Firequest Armor Piercing Incendiary 12-gauge slugs could penetrate an AR500 A2 steel armor plate. Despite the slugs' claims and incendiary tip, the test showed no penetration. The plate sustained only minor surface damage, concluding that this specific ammunition cannot defeat AR500 A2 steel rated for M855 green tip threats.

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Serbu RN-50 rifle that experienced a catastrophic failure during a Kentucky Ballistics test. Mark Serbu, the designer, meticulously examines the damage, noting severely bent steel side plates, sheared-off breech cap ears, and a sheared pivot pin. The inspection also covers the breech cap's condition, barrel threads, and the stuck casing, revealing a case head separation.

This video pits the powerful .300 Winchester Magnum against an "Exodus AR550" steel target plate, commonly known as a "Warranty Plate," to see if it can indeed create a hole. The presenter, Jared, tests various Federal ammunition, including 165 grain and Powershock rounds, on both the AR550 and a "Genesis AR500" plate. The video aims to prove the durability of these steel targets and also touches on the effects of .300 WinMag on "junk steel." Viewers are encouraged to comment with their theories on how the hole was made, and promotional codes are offered for target purchases. Safety is emphasized throughout, with a "DO NOT SHOOT" segment.

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.
