Can a Caterpillar D8 Track stop a 50cal?
Edwin Sarkissian and Scott from Kentucky Ballistics conducted an experimental test to determine the penetration capabilities of various firearms against a Caterpillar D8 bulldozer track. They found that common handgun and intermediate rifle calibers failed to penetrate the hardened steel, with only .50 BMG APIT rounds proving effective. The test highlights the robust nature of industrial equipment steel against ballistic threats.
