This video showcases the destructive power of the Desert Eagle chambered in .50 AE, using Underwood Ammo 300gr JHP rounds. Tests included penetrating frozen chicken, a Kevlar helmet (causing fatal backface deformation), shattering bones, and destroying office equipment. The .50 AE demonstrated significant hydrostatic shock against soda cans and impressive expansion in a ham and water recovery test, though it was stopped by a bowling ball.

Quick Summary

The Desert Eagle .50 AE, loaded with Underwood Ammo 300gr JHP, demonstrated significant destructive power. It penetrated frozen chicken, caused fatal backface deformation on a Kevlar helmet, shattered bones, and destroyed 16 out of 24 soda cans via hydrostatic shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of ammunition was used in the Desert Eagle .50 AE ballistic test?

The Desert Eagle .50 AE was tested using Underwood Ammo 300 grain Jacketed Hollow Points (JHP). This specific ammunition is known for its high energy and effectiveness in terminal ballistics testing.

How did the Desert Eagle .50 AE perform against a Kevlar helmet?

The .50 AE round created a clean entrance hole in the Kevlar helmet but did not fully penetrate. However, it caused significant backface deformation, which would likely be fatal to a wearer.

What was the result of the soda can test with the Desert Eagle .50 AE?

When fired into a line of 24 soda cans, the shockwave from the .50 AE round destroyed 16 of them through hydrostatic shock, demonstrating the projectile's significant energy transfer.

Was the .50 AE bullet recovered after testing?

Yes, the .50 AE bullet was recovered after being fired through three 5-gallon buckets of water. The recovered JHP bullet showed near-perfect expansion, indicating its terminal performance characteristics.
