Guns vs 1in Thick Steel Armor
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 1-inch thick AR550 steel plate against various calibers. Handgun rounds had minimal effect, while intermediate rifle rounds like 5.56 and 7.62x39 caused minor pitting. Full-power rifle rounds, especially .308 API and .50 BMG variants, significantly impacted the plate, with .50 BMG AP nearly penetrating. The AR550 steel proved exceptionally durable against most tested firearms.
