Adam Chiz That's not exactly how it works... When people are shot with body armor on, there are serious bruises and even bone fractures that result. The massive energy of the .50 BMG could be lethal even through body armor. The energy is delivered differently and over a different area than the shooter experiences.
Adam Chiz Some of that energy is absorbed by the action of the gun, some is negated by the muzzle device, butt stock pad, etc. Besides, a butt stock has a larger surface area than the tip of a bullet, where all the energy is then focused.
Yep, that little I in the name plus air between layers of metal = no joy on penetration. I bet if he had one solid plate that was .75 to an inch it probably would have gone all the way through.
MrBunzy12 Not the air between the plates, but rather the distance between the plates. If the round completely fragments upon striking the first plate the energy at any point beyond will dissipate at the inverse square to the distance. Of course no rounds completely fragment, but this illustrates the problem with there being space between the plates.
The baffle system is what is stopping that bullet. Modern tank armor is built in just the same way so that the shell loses all its energy on the first plate and can't get through the main armor. Stack those plates one on top of the other as a big sandwich and you will get a far different result than what you or demo ranch got. AP ammo only works on single thickness immovable targets. Weld a 1/2" AR500 plate to the side of a car and that round will go through like butter.
have you done a video with the AR500 plate with ballistics gel behind it? to get an idea what 50 cal would to to a person wearing the AR500 body armour?
Gunslinger454 I'd rather die lol... Imagine a armor plate hitting you with the force of a fifty into your torso...not as good as I'd want it to be since all the ribs are going inside and they might just do even more internal bleeding or just a huge mess inside...
Here's an interesting idea, put the number of plates that can stop the 50BMG round on a ballistic load, (i.e. sandbag loaded to human weight) on ground. Shoot the armor/bag and see how far the assembly was moved on impact. Calculating the energy to move the bag/armor over the distance moved will give you the energy the human body would have absorbed. This can then be used to determine if the human hit would have actually survived the encounter.
I think that the less than expected penetration had to do with the fact that the plates were spaced. The bullet probably tumbled when it went through the first plate, thus causing a lot of energy to be wasted when it got to the second one. API rounds of this caliber are capable of punching through steel plates nearly one inch thick. But it has long been known that spaced armor is more effective for the aforementioned reasons.
You replicated the book case test! Try this one day: get just a regular household bookcase, pack it full of books, magazines, newspapers, whatever -- just as long as the material is consistent and it's packed tight -- shoot it lengthwise and see how far the bullet will penetrate. In my tests that's typically 4-8" for a handgun round, depending upon the range & type of round used of course. In the next test just lean some books up loosely in the end of the bookcase. (Use a different shelf so that you're not shooting through the same hole you shot in test #1.) You don't need many books in this test, just enough to create the same thickness of material that the bullet penetrated in the first test. Now shoot it again, and see what happens!
By putting space between the plates they are better able to stop the bullet due to deflection. They are curved for that purpose. A better test would be to clamp all the plates together and put them against a power pole stub buried in the ground. Such tests would only really let you know how much you need to fortify your bunker, or vehicle, and then pray the enemy had nothing heaver. It is great that you have the ability to try these entertaining tests. I will have to visit your shop if I get to that area. Also subscribing. Nice channel. Bottom line, one could not tote enough armor to survive a sustained volley of any 50BMG rounds! Better option: ditch the plates; weave and bob between large masses of earth to get out of sight(like to the next county), or close enough to successfully netralize that heavy gun.
Scary to think how much damage the force of the impact, regardless if the round was stopped by a plate or not would do to a torso. If that alone didn't kill you the broken ribs and internal bleeding probably would.
i love that shirt, berry gave me one before he passed, he also signed a .50 round with his name on it and we also took some pictures, the final fair well video when berry passed, i was the kid holding the glock with the drum mag, i think that was back in 2013, i really want to fire the .50 round he gave me in his honor but i don't have a a rifle that can fire the monster. but keep up the videos!
Spacing the armor plates so far will increase the "effectivness" of the armor. Depending on the type of the projectile it could lose up to 10% of it's penetration potential for every 10cm (about 3-4 inces) while flying in the air after exiting a hard material.
TheRealMEEDABEE Agreed. After it went through the first plate it started to fragment. A solid AP round would have behaved a lot better. I think even in this rig the solid AP round would have made it through at least 2 and maybe 3.
Have 2 sets. 1.Tape the plates together. 2. have the same set up just like in video. The ones with the tape put a ballistic chest cavity with ribs in the ballistic gel behind the plates. I like to see what the kinetic energy due to the ballistic gel with ribs in it. Like in biology class the skeleton in the corner I think you get them online. I love it when a science project comes together.
I would try it with the plates sandwiched together. With the SLAP, be aware of bystanders and the possibility that the sabot can break off into the muzzle brake and get launched in the direction of the blast.
first I thought it would obliterate all the plates. the gap in between them and lack of solid backing like a human torso probably caused the deflection. strap two plates back to back on a balistic Ted and see what happens to Ted.
I think the reason the 2nd plate stopped it is because the first plate shattered the round. The second essentially got hit with just fragments. I think if it were a solid plate that the .50bmg would go through .75" with little issue. If you duct taped 2 plates together I'll bet it would go through no problem also. The gap between plates is what decreases penetration. Or that's what I think anyway. Test it and show me!!!
great test, the brass 50cal previous test shattered the same plate, demolition ranch got through 2 plates so im guessing ar500 are using 600 brinnel steel which is harder than their older models or api has smaller penetrator than plane ap which has no tracer compound
Impressive, but when you make your next frame for the new video please use 2x4's and also might help to put them in between the bottom and top of the plates for spacing and to somewhat simulate the real deal.
It is best to have "at least" 3/4" thick of AR500 steel if you get shot by .50 cal AP rounds. Many people have shot thru 1/2" AR500 steels with the .50cal AP, API, and APIT.
i figured it would go through at least 2 and get stopped at the third since the space between the plates would let the round tumble and lose it's forward momentum.
I want to say what is the point wearing armor plate what can stop .50 cal when the energy is so massive, (kinetic energy it carries) that it will hit you so hard that you "could" die from that and also saying that incase it penetrates it will fragment to million pieces what will kill you. It's only my theory, I do like plates but I think its like if you don't die from getting shot you will die from kinetic energy or at least lots of broken ribs. But nice video and looking forward to see more like that specially that armour plate what can stop .50 BMG :) thumbs up
I was thinking that if the plates where control without movement the results maybe a little different. As you said you will try again with a stronger setup and that would answer what would happen if movement was more controlled . Fun in sun kicking things around with a bang bang
Hey Eric or Chad, I just drove from Massachusetts down here to Columbus, and I was wondering if you guys were going to be at the shop tomorrow because I was going to stop by and check out the shop and was hoping to say hello to you guys.
If you shoot SLAP M903 rounds out of that M107 wt. the muzzle brake on it will most likely explode, that would be an interesting sight to see. Highly advise using Raufoss Mk211 since they are designed for 50cal weapons with muzzle brakes.
The kinetic energy of the round striking armor at that range would practically liquefy the internals of a target. I would rather be faster and harder to hit than to be heavily armored and an easy target. But, I suppose this goes with typical occupational, defensive type of presence the military has adopted. I don't subscribe to heavy armor personal protection. This was still interesting to watch. =)
I get what you are saying about a more robust rig, but perhaps the same principle ought to be applied to having the rig braced? Looked like it moved a long way back on impact.. All the energy that went into moving the rig wasn't going into piercing the plates. What do you think?
Actually that sends my thoughts down silly tracks... I wonder if there'd be any theoretical benefit to jumping in the air if you are under fire? Obviously the inertia of your body is still going to mean its bad, especially if you are a big lad like me, but it might be interesting to see the results of two shots under the same conditions on ballistic gel that is well braced to the ground and one that is suspended as flimsily as possible in the air... About as theoretical as that thing about gunshot wounds being less bad if they strike naked flesh, but could be fun?
I see allot of channels doing this kind of test and for some reason they all space out the plates and although this might be visually pleasing to the camera it is not good for the ammo neither is it fair on the ammo ether. Because 2 plates spaced out is harder to go through than 2 plates back to back because bullets are designed to tumble after they impact AP / API less so but it still happens also deflection factors in. So with the plates spaced out the API will go through the first exit getting as little deflected but also starting to tumble loosing allot of power which means the impact on the second plate is less than optimal its kinda the same method some tank armour employs to have a layer or armour with a space and then a second layer rather than 1 thick layer. Where as 2 plates right next to each other will be much easier for the round to go through. Perhaps something to test out on a video?
Its very different to enter, exit then re enter a plate, the bullet will turn, de-laminate, what ever. I'd try the same thing on a much thicker single piece of AR500 and I bet it would penetrate a whole lot more than the 1/4+
Doesn't having space between each plate make it harder for any round to penetrate all five? Correct me if I'm wrong but each plate misdirects the bullet and vastly reduces velocity, more so if there is a space between them, so wouldn't stacking the armor plates against each other yield better penetrating results? You might already know that answer and I'm asking the question as one who has never tried this. Just an observation from one who loves your videos. P.S. I don't want to ever be shot at with a 50 BMG, under any circumstances. This does give me some ideas about home defense and fortifying a perimeter though.
you guys should do ballistic gel test on cheaper ar and 223 loads like wolf, tula, and such. like what cheap 233/556 loads give you the best terminal blastics
This maybe too expensive to make a video for it but I'm just gonna put it out there... torture test the M107... just saying, seeing how the .50 cal handles some range trash rounds would be awesome.
Can you make a video of how much protection a comm bloc/soviet helmet will provide? Kinda like the USGI vietnam era helmet video you did a long time ago.
Please do a video on the usa1shot and your opinion of it and the trend toward bending the nfa as far as you can if your in favor of this or if you think people and companies should not push the limits of the law.
Educational? Of course, pure education, what else? That's exectly the stuff I've been seeing on my Linear Algebra and Theoretical Physics lectures for two semesters.
I think if you put those plates on a person, the person would die from just a hit. Crushed by the plates. A hit like that would certainly crush bones and internal organs. This is still deadly.
Yeah, there's body armor that will stop the round but it can't stop the energy that will cave your chest in!
Bingo
Matt Canipe The energy applied to the chest would be the same felt on the shooter's shoulder. So it would not be that bad
Adam Chiz Sir please educate your self !
Adam Chiz That's not exactly how it works... When people are shot with body armor on, there are serious bruises and even bone fractures that result. The massive energy of the .50 BMG could be lethal even through body armor. The energy is delivered differently and over a different area than the shooter experiences.

Try AP round instead of incendiary because the incendiary powder takes up majority of the projectile. AP round nearly all hardened penetrator
the air in between the plates is a big issue.
Yep, that little I in the name plus air between layers of metal = no joy on penetration. I bet if he had one solid plate that was .75 to an inch it probably would have gone all the way through.
also the API round doesn't penetrate as much as an AP round
MrBunzy12 definity is, spaced armor is something that has been used in the past because it works
MrBunzy12 Not the air between the plates, but rather the distance between the plates. If the round completely fragments upon striking the first plate the energy at any point beyond will dissipate at the inverse square to the distance.

+TheAlexagius spaced armour is used to explode HEAT rounds before impact, doesn't have a huge effect on kinetic ammo.

Took the words out of my mouth
Cooldibs Thanks Captain Obvious.

+Gunslinger454 thanks bro, I'm sure it will only leave a scratch xD

My hat's off to whoever designed that armour, I never expected that kind of performance behind a .50.
Put 2 blocks of ballistics gel behind one plate to see how far it will go.
The spacing makes a big diff. Strip the AS coating, and have steel to steel contact.
Have 2 sets. 1.Tape the plates together.
2. have the same set up just like in video.

That .50 BMG just sliced through the first plate. Pretty sweet.
The distance between the plates helped. Use a few c clamps and clamp them together, I bet it would make it through 2, maybe 3. . .

can't wait to see the slap rounds. I remember watching demos on them years ago, badass rounds
WOW, serious test for a first time effort, can't wait to see what the rest do!
Now, when are you going to use the cannon on an armor pack!!!!
I'd love to see 20mm Lahti (or any other designated shoulder fired anti-tank round from early WW2) vs. body armor!
It is best to have "at least" 3/4" thick of AR500 steel if you get shot by .50 cal AP rounds.
Many people have shot thru 1/2" AR500 steels with the .50cal AP, API, and APIT.
I was thinking 3 but glad too see the results, as I wear this daily this is great stuff...
If possible I would like to see"plate,kevlar,plate,kevlar"layered to see what it can withstand.keep up the good work guy's! For science!!!

hey eric and chad, can yall do a video where yall shoot an automatic rifle at a AR500 steel plate? just pound the hell out of it
a .50 bmg will do that in one shot lol
Hey Eric or Chad, I just drove from Massachusetts down here to Columbus, and I was wondering if you guys were going to be at the shop tomorrow because I was going to stop by and check out the shop and was hoping to say hello to you guys.
I didn't have a number in mind for the number of plates it would go through, but I too thought it would do more than it did. Color me very surprised.
It's basically face hardened steel plates in spaced armour displacement.
If you shoot SLAP M903 rounds out of that M107 wt. the muzzle brake on it will most likely explode, that would be an interesting sight to see. Highly advise using Raufoss Mk211 since they are designed for 50cal weapons with muzzle brakes.

Hey Eric, I'd like to see what would happen if you clamped them all together, and then sent one down range at it.
I figured 3 plates but I was incorrect. great video.
next time you shoot the api. you need to put some ballistic jell with a T-shirt on it next to the plates to show what that api really does.
I see allot of channels doing this kind of test and for some reason they all space out the plates and although this might be visually pleasing to the camera it is not good for the ammo neither is it fair on the ammo ether.

where do u find load data for loading .510 cal to 30 cal sabos? Like the slap round
you should do top 5 melee weapons
you guys should do ballistic gel test on cheaper ar and 223 loads like wolf, tula, and such. like what cheap 233/556 loads give you the best terminal blastics
This maybe too expensive to make a video for it but I'm just gonna put it out there...
torture test the M107... just saying, seeing how the .50 cal handles some range trash rounds would be awesome.
Your plate holding box needs to be steel. Time to bust out the buzzbox!
You should do these tests with angled plates. Odds are you wouldn't be shot at a 90° angle.
Why not just try a straight AP round?
If I am wearing a 4 inch thick sheet of steel, can I solo an Abrams tank in a 1-v-1 boss fight?
wow I was thinking more plates to but , they did the job
Your "ears" looked like a little fireman's helmet resting on top of the rig. lol
I love the sound when you chamber a round in the 50 BMG
When you chamber a round in the Barret M107, 50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) is just a round
+Tyler Christiansen This is so obvious that you only had to correct it because of the itch (to correct) :b
Carlos W. YoU are correct, I have a problem and I can't stop. I need help
how many plates would you have to have layered ontop
Can you make a video of how much protection a comm bloc/soviet helmet will provide? Kinda like the USGI vietnam era helmet video you did a long time ago.
with .50 cal black tip AP is the only way to go in combat. ball is good on the range & silver tip is good against fuel storage.
I thought it would go through at least 3 plates. Impressive armor.
you should try putting the plates back to back no spacing. air pockets arnt really a good thing for testing
@ 00:45 - Fuck a pump shotgun. THAT is a sound you don't want to hear.
I would suggest MK 211, but it's vaproware to begin with and $60/round.
Some M2 AP would be nice. Heavier, dedicated tungsten core. ;)
Awesome video as usual, I thought it would go through more. love the combat crocks by the way.
wish i had ur job..
I am totally surprised of the outcome. I thought it would go through at least 4 plates
another entertaining vid!!
Those api rounds are pure shock and awe rounds. They do make a mess of people tho.
you have to remember when armor is in an angle the effective thickness increases.
Now try it with SLAP! Supposed to be even better than the pure AP rounds.
WOW!! I'm impressed!
This is like the monday morning of Matt from Demolition Ranch
Try this with controlled chaos round!
I've seen it shoot through 2 plates and hit the third. I could have swore it was on this channel.
Stop waving your bullet at us Eric!
Please do a video on the usa1shot and your opinion of it and the trend toward bending the nfa as far as you can if your in favor of this or if you think people and companies should not push the limits of the law.
Look at that flick 'o the wrist ohh...
Cool video, 1/2 in armor stops 50 API, but what about the kinetic energy ?
Put a cold beer behind the 5th plate in the next setup.
That way you wont be disapointed incase the experiment fails.
What is "slap" ammo? Or "slap rounds"? I've heard a lot of military slang or names for stuff but have never heard of that one
558 views in 5 mins !! Nice channel btw!
It would be neat to see what would happen to AR500 armor when shot by a .500 nitro express:)
I thought Demolition Ranch did that already
Теоретик Умозрительный me too
+Теоретик Умозрительный Who?
he did haha
Теоретик Умозрительный They copied Demolition Ranch exactly
+Теоретик Умозрительный yes, but it was .50BMG black tip AP round. Which have even more penetration power than the API.
Could you do an experiment where the metal plate is at a angle want to test how it would do at a glancing blow
*Thats some Heavy shit there*
Educational? Of course, pure education, what else? That's exectly the stuff I've been seeing on my Linear Algebra and Theoretical Physics lectures for two semesters.
i would have said that the third was gonna stop it, not the second.
I think if you put those plates on a person, the person would die from just a hit. Crushed by the plates.
A hit like that would certainly crush bones and internal organs. This is still deadly.
Think you mimicked the baffle system and test from Demolition Ranch.
are those crocs?
How do you acquire all of these different types of .50 ammo?
+Joe Friday the internet is in my opinion the best way
So what would happen if a .50 BMG was fired at a plate of titanium would do?
got anything du for shooting with this weapon? id like to see that. however please take care if you do with the inherent cancer risk
