50cal vs Gorilla Tape

This video tests the penetration capabilities of .338 Lapua Magnum rounds against various steel thicknesses. Standard precision loads were stopped by 5/8 inch mild steel, while the RUAG Swiss P 260gr AP round, featuring a tungsten carbide core, penetrated up to 1 1/4 inch mild steel and 1/2 inch AR500/AR550 steel. The AP round was finally stopped by 1 1/2 inches of mild steel.

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 from Yee Yee Life, hosted by Parker, tests the ballistic resistance of a 300lb cast iron sewer lid against various calibers, from handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle with an API round. The test reveals that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, a .308 round from an FN SCAR 17 successfully penetrates, and the .50 BMG API round easily obliterates the lid and subsequent targets. The video demonstrates a high-energy, albeit informal, approach to ballistics testing.

This YouTube video focuses on the ballistic performance of the 5.56mm cartridge, specifically investigating its velocity drop (FPS) over distance. The title directly asks how fast 5.56 loses velocity, indicating a scientific or data-driven approach to understanding this common rifle caliber. The description provides a link to tatargets.com, suggesting the video might be related to ballistics testing, ammunition performance, or target shooting equipment, potentially offering insights relevant to shooters and firearm enthusiasts interested in the practical application of their firearms.

Amber from Exile Armory showcases a diverse inventory of new and used firearms, including handguns, rifles, and shotguns, alongside various suppressors. The video highlights specific models, calibers, features, and prices, offering a comprehensive look at available stock. Special promotions on suppressors are also mentioned, encouraging immediate purchase.

This review covers the Bighorn Armory AR500, a large-format AR-style rifle chambered in the potent .500 AutoMax caliber. The video details the gun's specifications, first impressions, and takes it to the range for live-fire testing. Key aspects examined include recoil comparison and accuracy assessment, particularly with its 10-inch barrel, alongside ballistic testing.

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.
