Published on February 3, 2017
Duration: 3:12

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.

Quick Summary

A .50 caliber spotter round fired from a Serbu BFG-50A rifle completely penetrated 1.25-inch bulletproof glass, creating a 2-inch crater and leaving residue. A standard FMJ round also penetrated but caused less damage, leaving only a 1-inch hole.
