FortNite MiniGun vs BulletProof Glass in real life

Published on November 8, 2018
Duration: 10:09

This video features an expert-level test of ballistic glass against high-volume firearm fire, specifically comparing the M134 Minigun and M249 SAW. The test, conducted by individuals with military expertise, demonstrates the effectiveness of multi-layer ballistic materials in stopping projectiles and preventing spalling. It highlights how sustained, accurate fire can overcome even robust armor.

Quick Summary

An expert ballistic test pitted an M134 Minigun (7.62mm) against military-grade bulletproof glass. While the high-volume fire caused significant damage and delamination, it did not achieve full penetration. However, a subsequent test with an M249 SAW (5.56mm) successfully penetrated the weakened glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Minigun penetrate bulletproof glass?

In this real-life test, a 100-round burst from an M134 Minigun (7.62mm) against military-grade ballistic glass caused significant damage, including delamination and structural failure, but did not achieve full penetration. The internal layers prevented spalling.

What is the difference between an M134 Minigun and an M249 SAW?

The M134 Minigun is a rotary-barreled weapon firing 7.62x51mm NATO rounds at extremely high rates (up to 6000 RPM). The M249 SAW is a gas-operated machine gun firing 5.56x45mm NATO rounds, typically used for sustained fire support.

Did the M249 SAW penetrate the bulletproof glass?

Yes, in a subsequent test from a helicopter, the M249 SAW (5.56mm) successfully penetrated the ballistic glass. This was attributed to more accurate, sustained fire on a section already weakened by the previous Minigun test.

What military vehicle was the ballistic glass from?

The ballistic windshield tested was from a military AMK36 vehicle, specifically identified as part of the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) program fielded by the Marine Corps, designed for enhanced protection.
