Hey, I have a request. Can you please compare the South-African military's firearms with their US military "equivalent"(firearms with the same purpose). (I don't want to say "standard-issue rifle(s)", because I would greatly appreciate it if you were to compare all the firearms that you could get your hands on.)
I really don't think it's realistic to have a small arms that can reliably penetrate body armour plates in an infantry rifle size weapon. Maybe if you had a bullpup with a longer barrel and a really high velocity calibre but even then it wouldn't be long before they made some new armour that would stop that as well.
@@Punisher9419 Give the fact that hits in combat are evenly distributed across the body and a hit to the extremities is still very likely to produce a causality, I think armor improvements make small arms *less lethal*, but not necessarily less effective. There is vast amounts of evidence to show that small arms are basically the least important weapons on the battlefield.
@@Poxyquotlsurvivorship bias as per usual. If you can’t appreciate the massive survivability increase covering the largest part of your body in which a rifle impact is almost 100% lethal, then you’re looking at things wrong
That's some nice SLAP you have. I have some late 90s SLAP that came from Chris Kyle. The gentlemen who sent it to me, got it from Chris during a shooting from elevation class. At least that's how the story goes (accompanied with pictures of the guy and Chris Kyle)..
Sadly these appear to be some of the “fake” SLAP rounds that are commonly going around. Good copies but no way that is a tungsten penetrator but just hardened steel. Also the plastic sabot casing is not made from the correct material. SOURCE: Have both real and copied SLAP rounds
@@jackmeowmeowmeow2177 Is the penetrator actual tungsten or sintered tungsten carbide? If plain tungsten, a magnet could be used to differentiate between it and steel.
I think there is something to be said for a kevlar insert beneath the plate. I don't know if that's still the standard configuration, as I finished my time when most of us were wearing the Interceptors and still colloquially referred to them as "flak jackets," with the combination of the helmet and body armor similarly being referred to as your "flak and kevlar." This was around the time when they were first trialing the MTVs and the Scalable Plate Carriers, which most of us simply referred to as "plate carriers" as a way to differentiate them from the Interceptor. The kevlar insert seems to be common sense, though. Any round that manages to penetrate the plate can be slowed down enough to be caught by the kevlar. Additionally, it can still offer a level of protection if someone has been hit enough times that the plate is now compromised, although this is admittedly an unlikely situation and means that you probably have much bigger problems to deal with.
All legacy ESAPI, XSAPI and SAPI style plates require Kevlar. But most modern plates and very recently new SAPIs do not require them. I'd want to have kevlar everywhere anyway though
Interesting that Winchester found that their sub-caliber munitions reduced dispersion. Cursory research I had done previously indicated the opposite. Depends on your point of reference, though, I guess.
Yeah but sabots are inherently inaccurate. I think they accomplished something wrong perhaps??? Just think how sabot rounds would shame up strait wall cartridges??? Suddenly .400 legend shoots a 150 grain .357” bullet at greater velocity and sectional density for a given weight? This could mean near .308 trajectory and the whole thing redundant to an extent…
There will be a new montage out probably next week. It will be the best milsim video I've done so far. But it isn't MSW. I probably won't make any more MSW videos, I will go to cooler events instead
Some may fault you for hitting it with the 993 first, but honestly, given how well the x-sapis and esapis perform with multiple hits, I doubt that would have made a difference. Personally I am curious what powder they are using for this to drive it to 4kfps, you wouldn't have happened to take some macros would you? As for the NTS screw-ups, it seems that's not too uncommon, allegedly they improperly marked an rma plate as having failed, and it's been delisted.
I could examine it but I think that Winchester has actual data on it somewhere. Its still modern ammo. I'm 100% sure the xsapi would fail even if it was intact. But yeah I kinda broke form not hitting it with SLAP first. I know better! Good note about NTS too. I need to comment about it more.
@@Oxide_does_his_best you're right I actually found the powder, WC 827, in BALL-POWDER-Propellants_v2.pdf, looks like its not used in any other loading though
Love this, I imagine you taking months of your personal time to research and avoid redundancy / overlap. Just to give us easily digestible videos, whether we view them for reference or just plain ol' fun and entertainment.
Even if the plates you mentioned or the new level 6 armors could stop 50 calibers, the shock wave and high pressure created by the bullet would be enough to break your ribs. Also, getting hit by a 50 caliber is like getting hit by an anti-aircraft shell. I remember that there were variants of these bullets made of Uranium material. And probably the chemical materials would make it easier to penetrate these armors. In short, you have no chance against these bullets anyway.
That is pretty cool. I wonder what distance the slap round won’t penetrate the armor anymore. But also I wonder why I haven’t seen anyone strap armor to a ballistic dummy to see what happens after different rounds penetrate various armors.
Realistically, most people are not going to be getting shot at by a SLAP at 15 feet. It's gonna have a chance to lose some velocity, energy, over say... 3 - 400 yards or more.
I find it rather amusing how many youtubers still compare the ap ammo with 8mm Mauser S.m.K ammo. Tho i do wonder how S.m.K. H would be, british tests showed 19mm at 100yards from the shorter K98 barrle (if i remember correct) so a slight increase from the longer Mg 34/42 barrle (which it was also fired from) should be expected. But i dont know if any S.m.K. H ammo is still around to this day. I just known of some documents. While normal S.m.K. was rated to be 14,25 mm (or a bit more) at 100 yards by the british (iirc)
@AnonEMus-cp2mn I believe so mine didn't even make it 24 hours I just cleaned the packing grease the day prior then I got into a huge firefight front sight post got shot off and the muzzle got hit 3 more times but I had already ran out of 7.62 lol barrel never got red blew mind best machine gun I ever got to use I wish I could own one
True story, having very pointed bullets hurts weapon feeding and can easily deflect a round to go sideways into a material. This is why so many rounds are blunted and round instead. They feed better and hit more flat against their intended material.
Interesting stuff that's for sure. I would caution you against shooting at metal backstops that have any sort of 'corner' in them. Shooting at the steel wheel end on can result in a nasty 'reflection', similar to a billiard ball bouncing off a corner of a pool table. Other targets to avoid are concrete basement corners, old toilet bowls and railroad rails from the side; don't ask how I know.
Yeah, great that you can get plates to stop some pretty savage rounds however I question whether that's as great as it sounds - what's worse, getting taken out cleanly with 1 shot or ending up just as dead due to massive internal organ damage and internal bleeding as the body absorbs all the energy from the round being displaced through the armour?
Is it tungsten alloy or tungsten carbide? The mechanism of how they interect with armor is different ao it is important to differentiate them. Think steel of various hardness , but the difference is more extreme.
Please check your audio levels. Putting the speaking on proper audible levels puts the shooting audio to deafening levels. Otherwise entertaining video
I get this comment a lot, but I test the volume on multiple devices. RUclips actually reduces the volume a ton as well. It sounds great on my phone and headphones
Humans are crazy. One person devotes their life to developing a product that will stop bullets and save lives. A second person then does the same, but for a round that will defeat said armor.
I think at this point in small arms and armor development, Armor has officially caught up with bullet tech. We're gonna need something going significantly faster to penetrate modern ceramic/carbide plates. Railguns anyone? The ammunition and armor systems to stop them are still not inexpensive enough for the average soldier to field them though. The plates are also still very thick and heavy to carry. Theres still room for improvements.
@jintsuubest9331 Smoothbore 15mm - 20mm DMRs with long tungsten rod penetrators. Every rifle will come with an advanced optic that will be essentially a miniaturized tank FCS that will near-guarantee a hit on a sprinting human from 1.5km away. How far we are from that future though I don't know, but one day it will be the standard.
Is the scope necessary? If the face shield is, then it seems like an unnecessary risk to such an optic. I imagine zeroing is a pain, but at point blank…
I think the m993 shot may have penetrated because the plate was flat against steel which doesn’t allow the plate time to give to slow and catch the round.
I wonder if SLAP rounds would improve if shot out of a smoothbore barrel instead of a rifled one. Similar to how most modern MDT’s use smoothbores in order to shoot Sabot rounds.
A way to get a more effective penetrator is to make it thinner and longer, that way you focus more kinetic energy at a smaller point. That's what the tank darts do. Older APDS tank ammunition looks almost exactly like these SLAP rounds. The reason why modern tank rounds are shot out of smooth bore guns is that spin stabilization (from rifling) doesn't work well on thin long projectiles, so they make them fin stabilized instead.
@@ninethirtyone4264 Rotation makes rods break when they hit a target, that's the main reason why we moved away from rifled barrels. The rifling also decreases velocity.
what you put behind the plate surely has a big role in absorbing the projectile energy and stopping the bullets right? like say if you put the plate up agaisnt something hard and heavy it cant move back a little bit as it would when say a person would wear one. i hope this makes somewhat sense
@@Oxide_does_his_best in no way I meant my comment with any bad intentions I was just exploring an idea that you guys possible could experiment with (targets that have give not actual people wearing the target plates😂)
@@Oxide_does_his_best thing is whatever makes you create content easier without burning up all of you time is the way to go anyway. We get the privilege to enjoy the videos Besides it’s not like your testing setup has zero application so you’re all good
Shooting a SLAP round from a few meters away is not entirely realistic. Most of the engagements will be done at a few hundred meters, some less where a significant amount of muzzle energy is lost.
Ok I’m sure you can find certain ammo using a longer Barrel to penetrate anything,,, for most civilians they are going to be dealing with 14.5-20 inch barrels with store shelf ammunition…
I wonder how a SLAP projectile using a Depleted Uranium penetrator would perform? Seems potentially promising given these results unless the material composition has some issues with clambering and firing the round or something...
+@@Oxide_does_his_best+ Hehe, Gives me the idea of using DUDS rounds out of an ETC rifle; it would probably have an utterly insane muzzle velocity, maybe around Mach 8.
Can you get your hands on some 5.45 7N24 "super-armor-piercing" cartridge (introduced in 1999, has a stub cone nosed penetrator made of tungsten carbide (hard alloy VK8) ) and/or 7N39 armor-piercing cartridge (introduced in 2013, has a penetrator made of a tungsten carbide (92%) and cobalt (8%) alloy) ??? Would love to see these performe! Greetings from Germany🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Are there any comprehensive studies that show averages of lives saved or percentages of injuries prevented say during the GWOT by modern ceramic armor. Just wondering about effectiveness on the modern battlefield.
they do. it's just that no plate getting hit in the same exact spot 5 times over is gonna survive. you can probably hit it with 20 rounds of 5.56 spread around the plate
The Adept plate that Demolition Ranch was testing was the Adept Colossus Heavy. Which was just a prototype plate. Buffman Range also tested the Adept Colossus Heavy and it performed well. Buffman also tested the Adept Colossus that was in this video, which had great results aswell

An air gap between plates and composite plates of varying materials would help. But weight and bulk exist
@@Oxide_does_his_best yeah that was accounted for
@@INSVRGENTask for the Heavy AP version of the plate
When is the PLA armor test?
I can’t verify that they’re actual PLA plates I tested so I’m holding off
ok that makes sense, are you going to make more loadout video any time soon? love that seriese@@Oxide_does_his_best
@@kumakuma3335 yes probably one out in the Fall

RIP the old oxide picture ✊😔
I see you have a channel of a Canadian load out. Your not Canadian are you? If so I have fun rounds for you to try!
What have you got?
@@Oxide_does_his_best M
@@matterhaz2980 well thanks much for sharing I’ll follow up if I need to use any of that stuff
@@Oxide_does_his_best I can't see it now I'd added a comment about the rest of my stuff that might be useful. I have a decent size ww2 collection with most gas masks from the conflict and most soviet and Cold War in general masks. Some rare gas masks and lots of German ww2 relics. I also have a few original uniforms and lots of field equipment. As well as a c3 and c4 Canadian mask if you need for a kit!
Really interesting video once again. Keep up the awesome content and wish I could work with yall lol. Also nice m40a3 build.
bro needs some new cadpat tw pants lol
Why would you stand so close?
So in conclusion, the effectiveness of the Colossus plate against SLAP depends on Magic 8 Ball?
Its that close yes!
Lmao you can be shooting tungsten carbide sabots at lvl 4+ armor and the backer STILL catches it
I desperately want that LZSH helmet bro
Kentucky Ballistics has entered the chat
Exapunks are more deadly than bullets
You need some volume balance on your outro lol
Welcome back
outro is a little too loud, but great vid all around.
Gentleman, this day has been blessed by another oxide post
If Scott from Kentucky ballistic watches this bet his neck itches
Hi!! Very interesting!!!!! Hope all is well with you!!!😊
Need to make 3006SLAP rounds
How do you pronounce sabot correctly but duck up saboted
Nobody cares

Can't wait to see that Soviet afghan vid oxide
7:32 song ?
any news from team wendy helmet retest ?
I tested them already. There won’t be a retest
Instructions unclear. Ran this in my HK91 and sent the barrel and trunnion downrange 😂
This round makes Tarkov's round 7.62 x 39 MAI AP look like a bitch.
Did you get unbanned from squad? I saw someone with your username in one of the ICO playtests but I didn’t ever get near them in game.
I have not played the play test but I’ve been on
@@Oxide_does_his_best maybe I’m misremembering then, you should play the next play test though OWI is has really a been nailing the gunplay with the more recent ones
Be careful not to "Kentucky Ballistics" yourself with them slap rounds!
This video slaps.
Ooh. I like this...
the outro music i need it, i forgot it's name and can't find it and i definitely remember it being russian
