Duration: 11:27

This video tests the survivability of a ballistic dummy against a point-blank 20mm cannon shot with varying levels of armor. Six RTS Tactical plates stopped the projectile but caused fatal blunt force trauma. A single plate failed to stop the round, resulting in catastrophic damage. The test highlights the immense destructive power of high-caliber rounds even when armor prevents direct penetration.

Quick Summary

Six RTS Tactical armor plates stopped a point-blank 20mm cannon shot, but the impact caused fatal blunt force trauma to the ballistic dummy's ribcage. A single plate failed, resulting in catastrophic internal damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ballistic armor stop a 20mm cannon round?

In a point-blank test, six RTS Tactical armor plates successfully stopped a 20mm projectile. However, the immense blunt force trauma from the impact shattered the ballistic dummy's ribcage, suggesting a potentially fatal outcome despite the lack of penetration.

What happens when armor fails against a 20mm round?

When a single RTS Tactical armor plate was tested against a point-blank 20mm round, it failed to stop the projectile. The ballistic dummy sustained catastrophic internal damage, including simulated organ destruction, highlighting the destructive power of such high-caliber munitions.

What is the Serbu Typhon 20?

The Serbu Typhon 20 is a powerful 20mm bolt-action, single-shot cannon designed for high-impact applications. It was used in this test to evaluate the effectiveness of ballistic armor against extreme projectile energy.

Is blunt force trauma a risk with heavy armor?

Yes, even when armor successfully stops a projectile, the sheer force of impact can cause significant blunt force trauma. In this test, six armor plates stopped the 20mm round but caused fatal damage to the dummy's internal structure, demonstrating this risk.
