How many safes does it take to stop a 50cal?

This ballistic test compares the penetration power of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, using water jugs. The video showcases firearms like the Volquartsen .22 LR, Canik TTI Combat 9mm, GForce Arms .357 Magnum lever gun, Zastava AK47 in 7.62x39, and a .50 BMG Raptor 50 upper. It highlights the significant energy transfer differences between these calibers, particularly the extreme power of the .50 BMG round.

This YouTube video features a ballistic test comparing a barrel's performance against water jugs. The title explicitly mentions '50 BMG', indicating a powerful rifle caliber will be used. The test aims to demonstrate the penetration and effects of this high-energy round on a common barrier material. The video likely showcases the raw power and terminal ballistics of the 50 BMG cartridge.

This YouTube video title "Use Cement As Cover? (50 BMG Tested)" and description "#gun #shotgun #ammo" suggests an experimental or destructive testing video. It will likely explore the ballistics and penetration capabilities of .50 BMG ammunition against cement as a protective barrier. The content will appeal to firearm enthusiasts interested in terminal ballistics, ammunition performance, and unusual testing scenarios. The inclusion of hashtags like 'gun', 'shotgun', and 'ammo' indicates a broad, yet focused, firearm interest.

This experiment tests a large rock's durability against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm were ineffective, while .45 ACP caused minor chipping. The .450 Bushmaster shattered the rock's top, and the .50 BMG completely obliterated it, demonstrating its immense power.

This video tests the effectiveness of various calibers against a U.S. General padlock. Lower calibers like 12 Gauge birdshot, .22 LR, 9mm, 7.62x39, and .223 failed to penetrate or break the lock. The .50 BMG round, fired from a Raptor 50 rifle, was the only caliber successful in destroying the padlock.

This video showcases the Norinco ULR, a bolt-action, single-shot 50 BMG pistol. The demonstration highlights the loading process of a 750-grain 50 BMG round and its subsequent firing at a water jug target. The presenter, from Kentucky Ballistics, emphasizes the massive concussion and recoil experienced, noting its powerful effect.

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.
