HOW STRONG IS ALUMINUM vs 50CAL
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various .50 BMG rounds against a 2.5-inch thick T651 ASTM B 209 aluminum plate. While a Spotter round failed to penetrate, API, AP, and APIT rounds successfully achieved full penetration, demonstrating the significant power of the .50 BMG caliber against substantial metal targets. The tests highlight differences in impact characteristics between incendiary and armor-piercing projectiles.
