50CAL VS TANK WINDOW - BULLETPROOF GLASS

Published on January 2, 2017
Duration: 5:59

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a military tank's viewport glass against a .50 caliber rifle. The thick, layered glass initially stopped the first two FMJ rounds, but subsequent shots caused significant damage, leading to full penetration by the fourth shot. The test demonstrates that while robust, even specialized armor has limits against sustained heavy caliber fire.

Quick Summary

A military tank's 8-9 inch thick, layered bulletproof glass was tested against a .50 caliber Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The first two shots were stopped, but subsequent impacts caused shattering and eventual full penetration after the fourth round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of glass was tested against the .50 caliber rifle?

The test involved a thick, layered bulletproof glass viewfinder, approximately 8-9 inches deep, sourced from a military tank. It was designed to withstand significant ballistic impact.

Did the .50 caliber rounds penetrate the tank glass?

Initially, the first two .50 caliber rounds did not fully penetrate the tank glass, though they caused damage. Full penetration was achieved only after the third and fourth shots.

What rifle was used to test the tank glass?

The destructive testing was conducted using a Serbu BFG-50A, a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .50 caliber, known for its significant power and range.

How many .50 caliber shots did it take to penetrate the tank glass?

It took four .50 caliber shots to achieve full penetration through the military tank's viewport glass. The first two shots were stopped, while the third and fourth compromised its structural integrity.
