Duration: 11:59

This video features Edwin Sarkissian and Mark Serbu of Serbu Firearms demonstrating the capabilities of a custom 'Micro' RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG. They conduct ballistic gel tests using a sophisticated dummy, comparing the impact of the .50 BMG against a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle and a custom 7-round 12-gauge shotgun. The content highlights the destructive power of these firearms and touches on NFA regulations for short-barreled rifles.

Quick Summary

The Serbu RN-50 Micro, a custom .50 BMG rifle with a 10-inch barrel, is classified as an NFA Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR). In ballistic gel tests, a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle caused a more dramatic headshot effect than the .50 BMG, while a 7-round 12-gauge shotgun completely destroyed the test torso.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Serbu RN-50 Micro and how is it classified?

The Serbu RN-50 Micro is a custom version of the RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, featuring a significantly shortened 10-inch barrel. Due to its barrel length, it is classified as an NFA Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR).

How does the .50 BMG compare to the .44 Magnum in ballistic gel tests?

In tests against a ballistic dummy's head, the .44 Magnum Desert Eagle produced a more dramatic 'explosion' than the .50 BMG RN-50. This difference is likely due to variations in bullet expansion and energy transfer characteristics between the two calibers and firearm types.

What was the outcome of the 7-round 12-gauge shotgun test?

The custom-built 7-round 12-gauge shotgun, loaded with a mix of slugs, buckshot, and Dragon's Breath rounds, was fired at the ballistic dummy torso. The combined impact completely destroyed the torso, shattering its structure and dispersing internal components.

What are the key features of the Ballistic Dummy Lab torso used in the test?

The Ballistic Dummy Lab torso used in the test featured realistic synthetic internal structures, including a skull, brain, ribs, heart, and lungs. These were encased in ballistic gelatin to accurately simulate human tissue response to high-caliber projectile impacts.
