The amount of force that 50 cal round has is just unbelievable, if that sandbag was not there we can bet that piece of metal would have flown back a couple of inches considering how heavy it is for its size.
I guess the amount of armor needed to protect a vehicle against these bullets isn't for sale for civilians. And even if it was, the car would barely move without a diesel v10
I was working on Railway Tracks. I think the metal used to make a railroad track, would be steel. That's a flat bottomed rail. There's also Bull Head rails, a slightly lighter rail used with different railway sleeper technology. My gosh! You shot right through it! Incredible power!
@@zackschindler8334 Cool! Really? I never knew they had flat bottomed rail back then. Are you sure, that is the date, the rail was manufactured? I thought that type of rail came in in the 70s perhaps. It's a type of rail association with very heavy concrete sleepers. Or yes. I suppose they might well have used flat bottomed rail back then maybe with a different style of connection between rail and sleeper. Thinking about it, maybe. Yes. They did have that innovation in the past.
@@MrRobertFarr There's sections of abandoned tracks from a train line built in 1875. The bottom of the rails are flat. They sit on steel plates spiked into the ties. I know its flat we were looking just weeks ago because people want pieces to make anvils. We found the track with metal detecting through an old 1800's ghost town area. The whole forest had burned down including the village. The only way we found the location was the fireplaces still standing. Well somewhat standing after 150 years of ice through the winters
Wow, that's dated to 1925. It looks like 100lbs rail (100lbs per yard) so it was from a mainline. It saw steam engines and WWII. I'm a total train nerd as you can tell lol. Please put this up Edwin, its a piece of history :) (and no I didnt mind you shooting it, was very interesting!)
Here in MarylAnd,an hr from Philly and Baltimore. We are surrounded by rich farmers. Those people would pay 100-150$ for that rail just to use as a fancy boot scraper. I would have shot a modern one. It's cool now that it has a bullet stuck in it. I wouldn't pull it out.
Finally someone tries to punch through something that is commonly known to be extremely strong. Also, I love the way you did everything in a safe manner away from anything nearby. I have seen videos of people doing it carelessly and they don't usually end well.
Excellent video. Effective shooting. I'm retired EOD and spent many a day sweeping ranges for dud ordnance, setting up new targets, conducting accident investigations. All your results are very common. I've personally witnessed these result a thousand times in de-mil armored vehicles. If I was still in I would incorporate your video into my training cycle. Thank you for sharing this with the shooting community.
Collin Hennessy I've been machining subway railroad switch and they where made out of maganese steel, like cone crusher (getting harder with time and impact). It was nothing close to uniformity, sometime quite "easy" to machine and other times it was super hard. What this one is made of...?
@@carlosgaray9384 theres a youtuber here who had a .50cal rifle blow up in his face and slashed his main artery in his neck. He survived by sticking his thumb in it
I am a retired locomotive engineer and company officer of the now defunct Southern Pacific railroad. In the first segment when looking at the rail you see the number 1925. That is the year this rail was made. You also see hash marks. These give the month of the manufacture, 1 hash mark thru 12. Rail is further classified by weight of a three foot section. As shown, in 1925 we are talking about 80lbs rail of average grade steel. Today the date and the hash marks remain. But, main line rail, especially so in curvature, is made of carbon steel and 139lbs and up. The shooter mentioned a possible ricochet. If using today’s rail he would have had all of the ricochet. But if you want to reach out and touch someone the weapons shown would definitely do the trick.
To the gentleman that said it was 110 pounds you are correct . That's a 5 and a half in base with the head of a 90 pound rail . And the the southern pacific engineer rail is now made head hardend from the Nippon steel company. The rail will have an hh stamped on it . And the largest and heaviest rail made was 141 pounds . Every 3 ft is the weight of the rail stamped on it so if you have that piece he was shooting at it looked like 16 inches so it probably weighed 55 pounds
Robert Miller my father gave me a piece of railroad tie much similar to that one use . I would never ruined it like that . I use it at work it's part of my tools lol . I love that chunk of railroad tie . I tell the snap on tool guy all the time ..
Cannot imagine what any one of those rounds would do to a human body. That is a clear indication of how much punch-thru power those bullets have. Im impressed.
It basically cuts the victim in half....Chris kyle turned a lot of Taliban fighters into jello,with a 50 cal, and that was from a mile away and through concrete blocks beforehand!
I have shot plenty of steel with smaller rounds such as 7.62x54 and 5.56 as well as pistol rounds. While these smaller rounds are plenty good at going through flesh, they are rather unimpressive when they hit steel. I did not expect the .50 to even go through the .500" track side, much less through the 1" top. Wow. Incredible power.
You just have to come close with a 50 cal!! The air velocity from grazing fire will rip limbs off a person with rounds just coming within six inches if you!!
@@ГеннадийГоряной My brother has an AK-74, so I have fired this round. I don't remember testing it through steel. We'll have to try it out next time we get a chance.
Rails are made of steel and usually have additives in the alloy such as manganese to increase strength and wearability. Nice that your section had the "1925" roll date. Rail weights are "per yard"; that is 130-pound rail weighs 130 pounds per three-foot section. Interesting to see what .50 BMG can do to solid rail. No wonder .50 on target could shred airplane engines or flame an aircraft. John Moses Browning was quite an inventor.
@@DistanceNsVeterans Now that’s it’s been riddled with bullets, probably not, but if it was intact, absolutely. The US still has rails that go back centuries still in service. Look hard enough and you’ll find active tracks that were laid in the early 1900s and even the mid to late 1800s. Ties have been replaced over time, but the rails are still there. Tell you what, they sure built those things to last…
Very impressive! Maybe if the railtrack piece was fixed the result would be more dramatic. Now a lot of impact energy is 'lost' in moving the railtrack piece, but still a scary thought not being safe behind a half inch steel wall.

Like Jeffrey said, it is manganese austenitic steel. Only 1.2% carbon. The surface work hardens as trains run over it, so the top of the rail is the hardest part after it is used.

Nah, silver (being a rather soft metal) is designed to flatten on impact so all the impact force is spread out over a larger area. Basically the opposite of armour piercing, great against unarmoured opponents... XD
Faraz you are correct, and I wouldn't have expected to have to point it out... although Radical may have a point: I don't think we know a lot about werewolf train tracks, maybe they take one some properties of train tracks and would indeed be impervious to silver bullets for purely mechanical reasons. That's a lot to think about...
I was sitting in a train station in Germany and the main frame(Girders) of the station was still there from before WWII. Only the glass was replaced. There were bullet holes all over the steel beams. Looked like a woodpecker was at them. No doubt steel core ammo-some looked like .30 cal holes.
That is a section of cast train track which is obsolete because of tearing. The new extruded ones are way more resilient, cost effective in low maintenance cost from cosckroaches like the guy in shooting a train rail in a video. Remember, the differences between the 3 bullets are: Incendiary; traceability and; explosiveness. They all carry a cobalt bone inside the 3 different projectiles. They are all .50 caliber. A Train Star
Pretty impressive. The head of railway rail is forged with manganese to give it hardness and wear resistance if I correctly recall from metallurgy. Definitely a powerful round.
Train tracks or rails are typically made from rolled or specially cast steel. Extremely strong and durable, it is flexible, and can expand, but does not change its form when doing so, it just grows in size slightly. It can withstand thousands of hours of heavyweight trains pressing down on it with ease. In short it's really tough material. I really like the range safety protocol from Edwin - shout loud and clear that the safety is off, when you're about to fire, and always clear the weapon when you're done, and declare it so, loud and clear. There are a lot of ranges - small arms and high calibre that do not follow this basic, and essential safety protocol.
AllBlacks NZ I have no way of knowing for sure, but I suspect that railroad track is probably about the least quality steel that can actually serve a purpose. I mean just consider how much track and how quickly it needed to be made - it's probably the least expensive mix of metals possible based upon price of raw materials right out of the furnace and I doubt anyone ever took the time to harden it even ONE time let alone the many times any better quality steel might be hardened. Awesome. Very interesting!
Michael Devito Depends from the era of the rail. If it's from the 50s or 60s, it's pretty much the way you described. But anything from 70s + and especially 2000s is super strong. Also depends were the rail is from. Modern day mainline is way different from a short line.
Michael Devito Railroad tracks are built the some of the highest quality steel that you can buy, and with the average diesel locomotive. weighing in at 200 tons, you can not use cheap steel. And railroads do have the money for high grade steel, they are one of the most profitable business on the face of the earth.
I like how these videos are actually educational, with expirements filled with curiosity, unlike other RUclips channel where they do "Car vs Fanta soda cans" 😑
when i was in the service i shot a ma duce it didnt seam that powerfull just squeze the buterflys and pow pow pow i loved shoting from a ground tripod with my boots on the cros bar watching down range whare the rounds were hitting and the grass fires the bulets started clearing the wepon and going out to put out the fires most people will never have that expereance i loved it but hated getting it from point a to b man its a heavy and so is the amo box i felt sorry for the asst gunner he caried amo box and a spare barrel
@@spooner454 Not trying to argue since it may be a case of all rails not being the same but I have been welding for 52 years, since I was 18, and having welded on many pieces of rail steel I have never encountered one made of Manganese steel. I have also welded Manganese steel on many occasions and it does indeed require a special welding process and special filler rods, usually of stainless steel type. The railroad rails I have seen are very high carbon steel which makes them very hard and hard to weld however with proper procedure, preheating before welding and "regular" common steel welding filler they do indeed weld quite well.
That stronger railroad track metal is called steel, and it's been around for a while. That last round you can hear the ricochet so yeah... not safe to shoot things that will bounce the round back at you like a tennis ball on a concrete floor.
If you have such a problem with Edwin why did you watch the video and bother commenting on a 5 year old video? Oh well, thanks for the engagement anyway.
@@MRX-rr5xf Ok, have fun shooting at solid metal targets. They make the loudest most satisfying sound when they are facing flat at you to bounce the most amount of sound back at you.
He's In the deep desert, very far from the target, shooting some crazy steel/iron making us a cool video, and you wanna biche about it........... The bullets are not gonna hit him, sorry but go somewhere else to disrupt.
My job in testing locomotives and trains and those tracks are super solid . Fascinating to see a bullet punch through something like that. A good target also is a train wheel . But that would be heavy to drag out to a location.
My grandfather worked for the Griffin wheel rail company for over 40 years and I can tell you 100% for a fact that those rails are made from a low carbon steel. That is very flexible and he treated to be such.
IH - MTXRGU ..you are right this length rail log is much heavier to hold but the way this guy is holding that with single hand easily is not possible at all....this block seems 9.0 inch approx in length and if its that much in length then its not possible to hold it with single hand like he is holding.
The side of a rail has no strength, you need to shoot the "head" of the rail which is hardened. The head is the part of the rail where the train wheels ride.
Former .50 gunner in US Army. Yup, it's all that. As others mentioned, a HUGE amount of penetration energy is being dissipitated because the rail is not solidly anchored. The Ma Deuce downside? It attracts rockets, grenade launchers, artillery, etc. But yeah, my mistress....
I've seen it years ago, the barrett round physically separates its targets bodies, One victim who got nailed had the top left side of his body cavity blown off away from the rest of the body, his arm was attached to the flying cavity piece and the rest of the body was thrown down so fast whilst rotating. War weapons are no joke.
I was expecting a reverse ricochet. Put a slight angle to it next time, even a small stick on the bottom of the track to angle that round away from your direct 180.

That's a lot to think about...

My father had a piece of railroad track that he shot with armored piercing shells and I've still got it from years ago
shay pain shells , like shotgun shells
At 0.25 speed you can't even distinguish a gap in time between the pull of the trigger and the impact of the round. Insane.
I was sitting in a train station in Germany and the main frame(Girders) of the station was still there from before WWII. Only the glass was replaced. There were bullet holes all over the steel beams. Looked like a woodpecker was at them. No doubt steel core ammo-some looked like .30 cal holes.
All those ricochet noises are scary as hell lol

Train Rails are made of a flexible steal, they literally bend like noodle's in proper lengths.
Great to know, I'm anxious to go railroad track hunting this spring.
I don’t think you can scrap it.. BIG TWOBLE buddy .Huge…
If you happen to hunt one ...don't overcook it ,medium rare is good enough.

BE CARFUL.. Rail rd tracks Have these Huge SPIKES…. They sneak up on ya…Next ya know … squashed… buy the 310 outta Yuma… sad really
How about seeing what it takes to stop a running car engine? And the "PING" of a projectile on thick metal is pretty awesome.
Usually one or two bullets will do enough damage to stop a car. If it's a well placed shot one round will work
That is a section of cast train track which is obsolete because of tearing. The new extruded ones are way more resilient, cost effective in low maintenance cost from cosckroaches like the guy in shooting a train rail in a video. Remember, the differences between the 3 bullets are: Incendiary; traceability and; explosiveness. They all carry a cobalt bone inside the 3 different projectiles. They are all .50 caliber. A Train Star
Pretty impressive. The head of railway rail is forged with manganese to give it hardness and wear resistance if I correctly recall from metallurgy. Definitely a powerful round.
Yes. Manganese steel work hardens

Train tracks or rails are typically made from rolled or specially cast steel. Extremely strong and durable, it is flexible, and can expand, but does not change its form when doing so, it just grows in size slightly. It can withstand thousands of hours of heavyweight trains pressing down on it with ease. In short it's really tough material. I really like the range safety protocol from Edwin - shout loud and clear that the safety is off, when you're about to fire, and always clear the weapon when you're done, and declare it so, loud and clear. There are a lot of ranges - small arms and high calibre that do not follow this basic, and essential safety protocol.
Please make more videos about .50 BMG vs different kinds of metals!
AllBlacks NZ yeah I love this
AllBlacks NZ I have no way of knowing for sure, but I suspect that railroad track is probably about the least quality steel that can actually serve a purpose. I mean just consider how much track and how quickly it needed to be made - it's probably the least expensive mix of metals possible based upon price of raw materials right out of the furnace and I doubt anyone ever took the time to harden it even ONE time let alone the many times any better quality steel might be hardened. Awesome. Very interesting!
Cheap steel wouldn't hold up against the weight of fully loaded trains.
Michael Devito Depends from the era of the rail. If it's from the 50s or 60s, it's pretty much the way you described. But anything from 70s + and especially 2000s is super strong. Also depends were the rail is from. Modern day mainline is way different from a short line.
Michael Devito Railroad tracks are built the some of the highest quality steel that you can buy, and with the average diesel locomotive. weighing in at 200 tons, you can not use cheap steel. And railroads do have the money for high grade steel, they are one of the most profitable business on the face of the earth.
.50 Cal is a beast of weapon! It owns it’s reputation!!!
Well done, great demo of what modern rounds and weapons can do!
I'm never ordering shots in a crowded bar with this guy
I like how these videos are actually educational, with expirements filled with curiosity, unlike other RUclips channel where they do "Car vs Fanta soda cans" 😑
Oh, Edwin does plenty of the "Car vs Fanta soda cans" type videos, too! :-)
+markserbu lol 😂
It's unreal how powerful the 50 caliber is.
Certainly wouldn't want to be hit by one.
red man you wouldn't known you've been hit by one bc you would be already dead before you fell to the ground
My point exactly. You wouldn't want to be hit by one. Game over.
red man I've seen a video where a hunter uses a 50 cal on a deer imo that's way to overkill
when i was in the service i shot a ma duce it didnt seam that powerfull just squeze the buterflys and pow pow pow i loved shoting from a ground tripod with my boots on the cros bar watching down range whare the rounds were hitting and the grass fires the bulets started clearing the wepon and going out to put out the fires most people will never have that expereance i loved it but hated getting it from point a to b man its a heavy and so is the amo box i felt sorry for the asst gunner he caried amo box and a spare barrel
I love how he is an expert on weapons and yet never heard of the metal called steel
Because it's not steel it's high in Manganese it's very hard regular welding will just break off
@@bart5158 oh plain carbon steel... just few dozen types under that pretty broad definition.
You Americans love your guns eh! No wonder your so fucked up and your country
No kidding
@@spooner454 Not trying to argue since it may be a case of all rails not being the same but I have been welding for 52 years, since I was 18, and having welded on many pieces of rail steel I have never encountered one made of Manganese steel.
I have also welded Manganese steel on many occasions and it does indeed require a special welding process and special filler rods, usually of stainless steel type. The railroad rails I have seen are very high carbon steel which makes them very hard and hard to weld however with proper procedure, preheating before welding and "regular" common steel welding filler they do indeed weld quite well.
That stronger railroad track metal is called steel, and it's been around for a while.
That last round you can hear the ricochet so yeah... not safe to shoot things that will bounce the round back at you like a tennis ball on a concrete floor.
If you have such a problem with Edwin why did you watch the video and bother commenting on a 5 year old video?
Oh well, thanks for the engagement anyway.
Hey azzhole nobody asked you
@@MRX-rr5xf Ok, have fun shooting at solid metal targets. They make the loudest most satisfying sound when they are facing flat at you to bounce the most amount of sound back at you.
I think 1084 hardened steel
He's In the deep desert, very far from the target, shooting some crazy steel/iron making us a cool video, and you wanna biche about it........... The bullets are not gonna hit him, sorry but go somewhere else to disrupt.
You should get more railroad track pieces and line em up and see how many the 50 bmg goes through with your variety of ammo!! Make it happen bro!

6:18 that ricochet could've ended badly! Be careful, man! Great stuff tho!
Noel Artem it has to be impossible for it to come exactly back where it came from
Malik Ogletree not impossible but there is a chance, it might be the slightest chance, but it's still there - safety first
ive seen video of a guy that shot himself in the head from a ricochet . it does and can happen
It happened on knightrider :-)

Its amazing
I cant beleave this bullet power was very strong..
I can't believe your English was very shitty.
Considering that a 50 bmg can go through an engine block, I honestly wasnt surprised.
At 1:19 you can see the bullet falling Down
6:24 I see it closer
I bleeves @ 6:24 is a bug bugging out.
At 2.21 to 2.23 we see a bullet down at before bench silver bullet but the shooter said it strucks into trail
Sorry rail

Yeah I came here after watching Penguinz0’s video on that just to see how powerful it really was, and they probably should have looked into it more.

true dat
My job in testing locomotives and trains and those tracks are super solid . Fascinating to see a bullet punch through something like that. A good target also is a train wheel . But that would be heavy to drag out to a location.
Couldn’t they just roll it out?
Set up your shooting bench near train tracks. You could have moving targets. 🤣
That looks to be 110/115lb rail. Tough stuff
@@joshuavhitmer7779 750lbs cast iron steel
My grandfather worked for the Griffin wheel rail company for over 40 years and I can tell you 100% for a fact that those rails are made from a low carbon steel. That is very flexible and he treated to be such.
And it looks like this rail is from 1925!
Fake. The Railway Rail is a paid actor.
IH - MTXRGU also the bullets are photoshopped. He almost got away with this.
Angel Villafane no way this guys a fraud 🤢?
The gun was clearly acting as well making all that noise
IH - MTXRGU ..you are right this length rail log is much heavier to hold but the way this guy is holding that with single hand easily is not possible at all....this block seems 9.0 inch approx in length and if its that much in length then its not possible to hold it with single hand like he is holding.
Maybe you don't have as many bones in your wrist as the average man
The amount of power and energy behind a .50 is nuts.
Think how "forged" that steel is on a molecular level from being compacted all those years by sheer weight. That's old rail. Impressed

The side of a rail has no strength, you need to shoot the "head" of the rail which is hardened. The head is the part of the rail where the train wheels ride.
This video is so cool and the bullet stuck in the rail is just amazing and pure good marksmanship
you literally blew my mind when I seen the bottom of that train track never would have imagined the bullet still lodged in gnarly dude
Donald House literally huh

Energy density + proper bullet material type .
That's insane. I have some railroad track. The fact that just punched through more than a inch of steel that's hardened is nuts.
Not hardened

Railway track is made of high carbon steel and high speed steel 😍😍
That was an eye-opener. I thought the bullets would just bounce. But no, holy sh**.
Former .50 gunner in US Army. Yup, it's all that. As others mentioned, a HUGE amount of penetration energy is being dissipitated because the rail is not solidly anchored. The Ma Deuce downside? It attracts rockets, grenade launchers, artillery, etc. But yeah, my mistress....
I was a 50 gunner in Iraq, I still remember the serial number.
Can I borrow your gun? I need to mount my TV on the wall, and I don't have anything to make the holes with...
Make sure that the wall is steel hardened first

@SELİM ARDA OKTAY its illegal to shoot anybody.
Everything is illegal nowadays like you can’t even go into a shop with a mask (I don’t really care but the Karen’s do)
I've seen it years ago, the barrett round physically separates its targets bodies, One victim who got nailed had the top left side of his body cavity blown off away from the rest of the body, his arm was attached to the flying cavity piece and the rest of the body was thrown down so fast whilst rotating. War weapons are no joke.
@@barryb4407 War weapons? I just think that's generalizing quite a bit. It's an anti-materiel rifle?
I was expecting a reverse ricochet. Put a slight angle to it next time, even a small stick on the bottom of the track to angle that round away from your direct 180.
Gilbert Torres yeah I thought he was gonna die honestly
Gilbert Torres Its impossible for that kind of bullet reverse through him.
That's why the target is not secured and can move.
How many weapons do you have in your collection?
He has almost all but he doesn't have rocket bomb lol
Guess these are being sponcered by the respective fire arms companies. And they will take back after the shoot.
