50CAL VS TRAIN TRACK TIE PLATE
This video tests the penetration power of a .50 caliber round against a thick steel railroad tie plate. A .50 caliber API round easily penetrates the first plate and significantly deforms the second. An AP round gets uniquely embedded halfway through the second plate, a rare 'stuck bullet' phenomenon. For comparison, 9mm and 7.62x39mm rounds show minimal damage.
