50cal vs Excavator Bucket - fortnite heavy sniper rifle in real life

This ballistic test evaluates an excavator bucket's ability to stop various firearms, from handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers and even .308/ .450 Bushmaster only dented the bucket, the .50 BMG round, including an Armor Piercing Incendiary variant, successfully penetrated the heavy equipment, demonstrating its extreme power.

Parker from Yee Yee Life conducted an experiment to determine how many Feastables chocolate bars could stop various firearm calibers. The tests ranged from a .22 LR, which was stopped by 12 bars, to a .50 BMG sniper rifle, which completely penetrated over 100 bars and the ballistic dummy. The results highlight significant differences in projectile energy and penetration capabilities across calibers.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a prison door against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, .380 ACP, .45 ACP, 9mm, and 10mm were stopped by the metal door, the .50 AE Desert Eagle achieved full penetration. The .50 BMG sniper rifle easily defeated the door, a concrete bucket, and a mannequin.

This video tests the ballistic penetration capabilities of a large hay bale against various firearms, from handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. It was found that common calibers like 9mm, .44 Magnum, 5.56mm, .450 Bushmaster, 12-gauge slugs, and .30-06 were stopped by the hay bale. However, the .50 BMG round successfully penetrated the entire bale and the drywall backing, demonstrating its superior power.

This experiment tests the pumpkin penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The .50 BMG rifle, despite its power, only penetrated four pumpkins and glanced off the fifth. In contrast, a .50 AE Desert Eagle stopped in the 13th pumpkin, highlighting differences in projectile design and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a solid titanium block against various firearm calibers, including handguns, rifles, and culminating in a .50 BMG sniper round. Despite significant impact damage and cratering from high-powered rounds, the titanium block successfully stopped all tested projectiles, demonstrating its impressive durability against firearms.

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.
