50 BMG VS SAFES πŸ’° - SERBU RN-50

Published on November 6, 2016
Duration: 7:19

This video features Edwin Sarkissian conducting an experimental test of the Serbu RN-50 .50 BMG rifle against a series of Safemark electronic safes. The experiment aims to determine the penetration capabilities of the .50 BMG round through different safe constructions. Sarkissian demonstrates expert firearm handling and provides insights into projectile behavior upon impact.

Quick Summary

The Serbu RN-50 .50 BMG rifle was tested against Safemark electronic safes. Firing through the sides allowed penetration of three safes, with the projectile lodging in the fourth. However, hitting the reinforced front doors significantly reduced penetration, stopping the round in the second safe, suggesting 2-4 safes are needed to stop a .50 BMG.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Serbu RN-50 and what was it tested against?

The Serbu RN-50 is a break-action .50 BMG rifle. In this experiment, it was tested for its penetration capabilities against a series of Safemark electronic hotel-style safes.

How effective was the .50 BMG round against the Safemark safes?

When fired at the sides of the safes, the .50 BMG round penetrated three safes completely and lodged in the fourth. However, when fired at the reinforced front doors, the round only penetrated into the second safe.

What factors influenced the penetration of the .50 BMG round?

The penetration was influenced by the construction of the safes, with the reinforced front doors offering significantly more resistance than the side walls. Projectile construction, specifically the separation of the jacket and steel core, also played a role.

What is the estimated number of safes needed to stop a .50 BMG round?

Based on the experiment, it is estimated that 2 to 4 Safemark electronic safes would be required to effectively stop a .50 BMG projectile, depending on the impact point and angle.
