Trying to put holes in AR550

This video rigorously tests Armitek's UL Level 6, 7, and 8 ballistic glass against various calibers, including .22 LR, 9mm, 10mm, 12 gauge, 5.56mm, .308, .300 Win Mag, and .50 BMG. The glass successfully stopped all tested rounds, with higher levels performing as expected against their rated calibers. Notably, even the .50 BMG was stopped by a stack of ballistic glass layers.

This test evaluates the effectiveness of AR550 steel body armor against various .50 BMG rounds. The .50 Cal SLAP round penetrated four AR550 plates, while Raufoss, APIT, and API rounds penetrated three. Standard incendiary rounds failed to penetrate the first plate. The findings indicate that steel body armor is generally insufficient against specialized .50 BMG armor-piercing ammunition.

This video pits the powerful .300 Winchester Magnum against an "Exodus AR550" steel target plate, commonly known as a "Warranty Plate," to see if it can indeed create a hole. The presenter, Jared, tests various Federal ammunition, including 165 grain and Powershock rounds, on both the AR550 and a "Genesis AR500" plate. The video aims to prove the durability of these steel targets and also touches on the effects of .300 WinMag on "junk steel." Viewers are encouraged to comment with their theories on how the hole was made, and promotional codes are offered for target purchases. Safety is emphasized throughout, with a "DO NOT SHOOT" segment.

This video investigates whether a machine gun can destroy an AR550 steel plate. The description highlights that steel targets are not consumable if the correct type is purchased, suggesting a system that can last a lifetime. This is backed by the mention of a lifetime warranty on their 1/2" Mini ADAP systems.

TA Targets showcases an extreme warranty claim involving a 1/2 inch AR550 steel target penetrated by an unknown caliber.
