.50 BMG vs. Heavy Metal

Monday, December 14th, 2020

In some of the previous .50 BMG vs X videos I’ve shared, they tended to demolish whatever they were shooting at. This time, I’ve got video of them shooting at thicker and heavier metal plates and blocks.

First up: Going Ballistic tries four different .50 BMG rounds (MK263 armor-piercing, MK211 Raufoss, SLAP tracer, and armor-piercing incendiary tracer) through a Bushmaster .50 BMG against a 1.75″ plate of titanium:

Then they did the same with a two 1″ titanium plates plate, only this time out of an M2AHB Browning machine gun:

Includes a 75″+ richochet!

Next comes the same rounds vs a 2″ AR500 steel plate, plus a Russian “Zebra” round, whatever the hell that is.

Then Demolition Ranch takes on a block of tungsten:

Bonus: Here Matt from Demolition Ranch just drops the tungsten block on stuff from a tree stand:
