Published on August 25, 2025
Duration: 19:42

This video tests the kinetic impact force of various rifle calibers using a specialized punching machine equipped with ceramic plates. Lighter, high-velocity rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm registered minimal force, while heavier, slower projectiles such as .50 Beowulf and .338 Lapua demonstrated significantly higher impact. The .50 BMG round completely destroyed the testing apparatus, showcasing its extreme power.

Quick Summary

In Part 2, Kentucky Ballistics tested rifle caliber impact using a punching machine with ceramic plates. Lighter rounds like 7.62x39mm scored low, while heavier .50 Beowulf and .338 Lapua showed more force. The .50 BMG round destroyed the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers were tested for their punching force in Part 2?

Part 2 tested 7.62x39mm (AK-47), 5.56x45mm (AR-15), .308 Win, .30-30, .30-06, .50 Beowulf, .300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua, and .50 BMG, using ceramic plates on a punching machine.

Which rifle calibers delivered the most impact force?

The heavier, slower-moving projectiles like .50 Beowulf and .338 Lapua registered significantly higher impact scores. The .50 BMG round was powerful enough to destroy the testing machine entirely.

Why did lighter rifle rounds score low on the punching machine?

Lighter, high-velocity rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm showed high penetration but transferred minimal kinetic impact force to the machine's frame, largely due to the energy absorption by the ceramic plates.

What type of armor was used in the Part 2 gun punch test?

Unlike Part 1, Part 2 utilized Premier Body Armor ceramic Level 3+ Fortis plates mounted on the punching machine. This allowed for testing of more powerful rifle calibers.
