Can angled armor stop a 50bmg ?

This video presents a comparison of two vastly different calibers, 22LR and 50 BMG, in a rather unconventional test involving pumpkins. The title "22LR contra 50BMG! Quem vence a batalha das abóboras?" (22LR vs 50 BMG! Who wins the pumpkin battle?) suggests a direct confrontation between these two ammunition types and the firearms that utilize them, likely highlighting the extreme differences in their power and application through a destructive test. The description is absent, but the title clearly indicates a caliber and potential firearm comparison.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of various firearms calibers through a 2500-gallon water tank. Results show that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG and 5.56 NATO fragment or deform significantly upon entering the water, failing to reach a target 6.5 feet away. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped with minimal deformation. Approximately 6.5 feet of water provides substantial protection against most common firearms.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of .50 BMG rounds, including standard ball and M2 Armor Piercing (AP), against various steel plates. It reveals that 3/4-inch mild steel can stop standard ball rounds, while 1.5-inch mild steel is required to embed authentic M2 AP rounds. AR550 steel, even at 1/2-inch thickness, demonstrates superior resistance, stopping both types of rounds with minimal damage.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Hyosung ATM against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers and even 12-gauge slugs are stopped by the internal vault, the .50 BMG round penetrates all layers of the ATM, including the vault, and strikes a ballistic dummy. The test highlights the significant difference in penetration power between common rifle rounds and heavy sniper rounds.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a cast iron sewer lid against various calibers, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm caused only minor surface damage, a 12 gauge slug deformed and fragmented, embedding in the backing. The 7.62 SCAR penetrated a mannequin behind the lid, but the lid itself remained largely intact. Ultimately, the .50 BMG sniper rifle successfully penetrated the sewer lid, demonstrating its extreme power.

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.
