      Technically the 50 BMG penetrated deeper because 408 was almost shot at point blank while the 50 you shot while standing on top of the Ford!!

      What type bullets did each one have? Full Metal Jacket, Soft nose, Ballistic tip Because I think type of bullet will make a difference.

      Page 462 of the Earth Science Book it reads... Larger the Boom equals the more closer to the earth's core the object will settle.
      You need to invest in that book because you can't have proper answers without the equations in that book.

    Our fearless scientists make a video testing how deep into dirt sniper rifles can shoot and then bring no way to measure the depth. I'm starting to question if Edwin is actually a scientist lol. 🤔.
    He must have dug that tape measure up while digging for the CheyTac bullet. Very fortunate 😁

    I loved my Ridge wallet (carbon fiber). Had it for years. Had an unknown hole in my pocket at a hotel and it fell out without me knowing (fell on carpet in the hallway, I assume). Someone took the wallet, my cash, my Uhaul entrance card, but left my ID and debit card, thankfully (which I found under my hotel room door the next morning). I was 1,900 miles away from home and even with Apple Pay, if that guy decided to throw away everything I would've been in a world of hurt. I love Ridge wallets. I hope that jack wagon gets good use out of it and the $40+ cash he kept.

      @cHAOs9 Год назад +8

      DONT LAUGH YET...
      Whats awesome about this is that if you have enough of the right kind of machine guns, this will ACTUALLY WORK!...
      For example the ak-47 with a 75 round loaded drum weighs about 12.5 lbs but fires enough bullets per second, that weigh enough, and travel fast enough to create 13 lbs of lift. Thats a surplus of 0.5 lbs of lift per machine gun.
      So to lift a 200 lbs person all you need are more than 400 machine guns strapped together shooting down all at once.
      Considering they shoot about 10 rounds per second, this is enough to give you a nice 7.5 second hover/ flight. More guns to accelerate vertically faster.
      Alternatively, you could use only 80+ ak-47s with lighter 30 round magazines for a shorter 3 second flight/hover.
      These are minimums, in reality, you'd probably want around twice as many guns in each scenario.
      I would finish this with "dont try this at home" except i REALLY really hope someone does. And records it.
      Youre welcome.

    The.416 Barrett might have gone a little bit deeper. It’s actually slightly longer range than the Chey Tech.

    • @stompingpeak2043
      @stompingpeak2043 Год назад

      Maybe but then maybe not. It's a different round firing out of a completely different system. The range doesn't mean much for something like this. It's all about the speed/bullet dimensions/weight. Any of these big calibers are amazing rounds and all good for their own things. There is no real best. Just best at what they do

    The 408 was shot straight down, the rest were shot at an angle which means they have to travel further to reach the same depth🙂

    All you had to do was:
    -drop a dowel rod in the hole
    -mark the rod at ground level
    -remove the rod
    -measure the length of the rod that was in the hole
    You would be done in seconds !!!

      Well think about it, the military uses sandbags because they’re effective. The dirt absorbs and disperses the kinetic energy pretty effectively!

    • @stompingpeak2043
      @stompingpeak2043 Год назад +1

      Especially hard concrete like dirt that's in this video or very loose dirt like sand. If you just use something like moist soil in your yard the 6in will kill you. You probably need like 12ft of that or more

I would love to come shoot with you I wanted to be a scout sniper for our GREAT U.S.M.C but they would not take me but when you shoot that 338 I drool.
