AWM 338 Lapua vs Copper

This video showcases a destructive ballistics test where various firearms, from 9mm to .50 BMG, are used to attack a large steel pipe wrench. The experiment demonstrates the increasing terminal ballistics of larger calibers, with smaller rounds failing to damage the wrench while larger ones, like the .50 BMG, completely destroy it. The video highlights the capabilities of different firearm platforms against a robust target.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms content creator, details an experiment testing the stopping power of Elmer's glue against .50 BMG and .338 Lapua Magnum rounds. The .50 BMG round was stopped by the 5th jug of glue, with the incendiary round causing a significant splash but no ignition. A subsequent test with a .338 Lapua round also stopped in the 5th jug, highlighting the comparative penetration characteristics of these high-power rifle cartridges. The video also features a segment showcasing miniature GoatGuns replicas.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms influencer, conducting an experimental test of various firearm calibers against a line of circular saw blades. The experiment progresses from .22 LR to .50 BMG, demonstrating the increasing penetration power of larger calibers. Sarkissian's high-energy, practical approach provides clear insights into the ballistic performance of each round in a unique, destructive test scenario.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates the destructive power of various firearms calibers against a vintage Reed Mfg. Co. vise. The expert-level testing showcases how intermediate rifle calibers cause minor damage, while .308 Winchester and .338 Lapua Magnum inflict significant structural compromise. The .50 BMG round ultimately obliterates the vise, highlighting its extreme ballistic capabilities.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of angled armor against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG test. Expert Edwin Sarkissian, known for destructive testing, showcases how sloped armor significantly increases ballistic resistance compared to flat armor. The .50 BMG round, while damaging, was largely defeated by the angled plate, but easily penetrated when the plate was flat, leading to a propane tank explosion.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian explores the penetration capabilities of various high-caliber rifle rounds through a barrier of flour bags. The expert demonstrates how much flour is required to stop .50 BMG, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .338 Lapua Magnum rounds, offering a unique, albeit non-standard, method for visualizing ballistic performance. The experiment concludes with a dramatic detonation of a hand grenade within the flour setup.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
