.50 BMG API impacting 5/8' steel plate

Full speed imact

From the firing line

 

[TheDan]

Nice. What camera did you use?

 

[Tejano Scott]

Hell yeah! In on page 1. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Davetex]

Phantastic Photography.

Not bad for a ginger.

GoPro Hero4. Didn't think it would work as well as it did.

 

[Vaquero]

Sub'd

Added a full speed vid of impact, insane how fast the fireball forms and disappears.



Open to suggestions for target/projectile combos for future posts. Let me know if there's something you wanna see and I'll try to do it. Plan to get some sots of different flash suppressors/muzzle flash near dusk, actions cycling in semi autos, and anything else gun related I can think of slowing down.

I'll let you know when "the stump" is ready and tannerite is in hand.

Very nice YG.

The most impressive part to me isn't the fireball (but that is the coolest) - it's the spray of molten metal from that plate. Try to find some thicker steel and see if you can shoot really close to dusk

When I had my .50 I shot it at 1 1/2" thick steel from a rock saw blade. Three out of four APIs went through at 100 yards with my mild handloads. The fourth stuck in it but just barely.

 

[Younggun]

I've got a piece 3.5" thick. It already has an API round stuck in it like a dart from a Hicksville meet, could give it another shot. (Pun intended)

May also do one with the camera showing the back of the plate instead of the front.


Think I might as well start working on a new plate....

Shoot the plate with ball ammo. It is amazing how little it moves when hit with an API.

Added to the list.

Maybe start with a .22 and work your way up.

^^ Skip the enemic .338 LM please.


Shooting the 50 is OK but the plate gif is pretty dang cool, especially since it's in slow mo.

I don't believe he has access to anything that bad ass.

If he did he would have to shoot it after the .50. Probably sheer the posts right off and go through his berm.

And shut it.
