AWM 338 vs 408 cheyTac

This video focuses on a bolt-action rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, manufactured by Cadex Defense. Given the specific model and caliber, the content is likely to cover the rifle's features, performance, and potential applications. It appeals to enthusiasts of precision long-range shooting and powerful rifle calibers.

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.

The CheyTac M200 Intervention is a bolt-action, magazine-fed precision rifle manufactured by EDM Arms, known for its extreme long-range capabilities. Chambered in .408 CheyTac, it offers high muzzle energy and remains supersonic out to 2500 yards, though environmental factors like wind are critical for accuracy. Its distinctive tactical appearance and pop culture fame, notably from the movie 'Shooter,' often precede its technical merits.

This video features Brian Lanckiewicz showcasing the McMillan Tac 338 sniper rifle. The content includes comparisons to other rifles and calibers, with extensive testing involving ballistic dummies, statues, and steel plates. Long-range shooting is also demonstrated. The video mentions that these rifles can be found at Strategic Armory Corps (SAC) in Texas. The testing performed in "Ballistic Dummy Lab" and the comparison of various rifles and calibers indicate a strong focus on firearm performance evaluation.

The CheyTac M200 Intervention is a bolt-action, magazine-fed precision rifle manufactured by EDM Arms, designed for extreme distances. It features a distinctive futuristic design and a large carry handle. Standard loadings utilize a 419-grain bullet at velocities between 2,850 and 2,900 feet per second, contributing to its legitimate accuracy.

The SAKO TRG 42 in .300 Win Mag demonstrated exceptional accuracy and performance up to 1,000 yards during a practical accuracy drill, even in adverse weather conditions. Its superior bolt smoothness, ergonomic stock, and stable bipod design were highlighted in comparison to the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare. The rifle's high-velocity ammunition proved effective against wind and drop at extreme distances.

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.
