Duration: 15:07

This video features an experimental test comparing the ballistic effects of an HK MP7 (4.6x30mm), HK MP5 (9mm), and HK G3 (.308) against a B-52 bomber's titanium turbine blade. The MP7's rounds ricocheted, the MP5's rounds caused minor damage, and the G3's powerful rounds shattered the blade. The video also briefly showcases EDC gear including a Grip6 belt and Vedder Holster.

Quick Summary

An experimental test compared the ballistic effects of an HK MP7 (4.6x30mm), HK MP5 (9mm), and HK G3 (.308 Winchester) against a B-52 bomber's titanium turbine blade. The MP7 rounds ricocheted, the MP5 rounds caused minor bending, and the G3's powerful rounds shattered the blade, demonstrating significant differences in terminal ballistics based on caliber energy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the primary goal of the MP7 vs B-52 bomber fan blade test?

The primary goal was to experimentally test the ballistic effects of different firearm calibers, specifically the 4.6x30mm from an HK MP7, against a durable B-52 bomber titanium turbine blade to observe penetration and fragmentation.

How did the HK MP7's 4.6x30mm rounds perform against the titanium turbine blade?

The 4.6x30mm rounds fired from the HK MP7 primarily ricocheted off the titanium turbine blade or caused minor bending. They did not penetrate or shatter the hardened material, demonstrating limited terminal effect in this scenario.

Which firearm caliber proved most effective at damaging the B-52 turbine blade?

The HK G3, chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm), proved most effective. Its high-energy rounds caused the brittle titanium turbine blades to shatter and break off the disk.

What other firearms were tested against the B-52 turbine blade?

In addition to the HK MP7, an HK MP5 firing 9mm ammunition was also tested. During this test, the firearm accidentally damaged the drill powering the turbine rig.
