50 Cal vs Bigfoot (Solid Concrete)

Published on July 16, 2020
Duration: 11:50

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert-level ballistics test pitting a .50 BMG rifle against a solid concrete Bigfoot statue. The test demonstrates the immense power of .50 BMG ammunition, completely destroying the statue, while lesser calibers like .308 Win, 5.56 NATO, and even large-bore handguns like the .500 S&W Magnum and .50 AE show significantly less effect. The test concludes with the discovery of rebar reinforcement within the concrete.

Quick Summary

The .50 BMG cartridge exhibits immense destructive power, capable of completely obliterating solid concrete targets, as demonstrated against a 4-foot Bigfoot statue. Lesser calibers like .308 Win, 5.56 NATO, and large-bore handguns cause significantly less damage, primarily surface effects. The test also revealed hidden rebar reinforcement within the concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the destructive power of a .50 BMG round against concrete?

A .50 BMG round, specifically a 660-grain PMC Bronze FMJ, demonstrated extreme destructive power against a solid concrete Bigfoot statue, completely obliterating its upper half and causing significant damage to the lower half, revealing internal rebar.

How do .308 Win and 5.56 NATO compare to .50 BMG against concrete?

Compared to the devastating effect of .50 BMG, .308 Win and 5.56 NATO rounds only caused surface damage and cratering on the concrete statue, failing to achieve significant structural failure.

Can large bore handguns penetrate concrete?

Large bore handguns like the .500 S&W Magnum and .50 AE can cause chipping and surface damage to concrete, but their effectiveness is considerably less than a .50 BMG rifle round. A 9mm round had a negligible effect.

What was discovered inside the concrete Bigfoot statue?

Upon complete destruction of the concrete Bigfoot statue, it was discovered that the structure was reinforced with metal rebar, which was not initially apparent and significantly contributed to its density and resilience.
