Downloading a standard .50 BMG for use on shorter ranges with less substantial backstops would result in some funky ballistics. The lightweight plastic projectile can be pushed just fast enough to at least mimic drop of standard ball ammo at those ranges.

Scott if you want to be actually safe stay behind the hood not the side door of the car, or a sandbag... A car's metal frame is thin and light . Bullets and fast moving fragments have no issue penetrating them. Staying near the front hood area will mean if something comes towards you it has to pass through solid pieces, engine, components, valves, wires, tubes, etc. Way safer. A .50 bmg fragment should be stopped by an engine block without full penetration. And sandbag fortifications are very dense and great at stopping shrapnel.

Massive props to you, Scott. I could never touch a 50-BMG if that happened to me. You are an absolute beast.

Every year they could easily collect the rounds with sifts that utilize magnets to catch the steel as they rebuild the backstops.

It has nothing to do with lead. It is just short range ammo ao that you are more free with your range orientation and shooting angles, for example to practice with live ammo on regular outdoor training grounds (banned since the 00s) or in short range indoor ranges. The bullets are very light and lose velocity fast due the shape and lack off mass and have reduced ricochet.

Love your channel. So happy for you that you healed 100%.

While I was in the TXARNG, one of my jobs was to assist the NGMTU as an adjunct instructor in their SAIROC classes. I was the M2HB (Ma Deuce) NCOIC. The ranges at Camp J T Robinson do not have sufficient depth in the impact area "fan" for .50 M33 Ball, and we had to do the fam-fire with those Blue Pills and their special barrel. Although we were firing the six absolute cleanest and most well-lubed M2s in the free world, the "short range" plastic fantastic crap ammo could barely get downrange at all. It was so balky that we never did get any of the M2s to run right. Instead of perking along, we'd get maybe a two or three round burst and have to cycle the gun again. The ammo came belted four normal to one tracer, and hardly any of the tracers lit either. We suspected storage degradation but couldn't prove it. The special barrels and the blue pills were just a waste of time and funds. It was a real let-down for the trainees.

When I used blue plastic ammo it was for safety since we were doing a training exercise and the blue plastic ammo had a much shorter range for being lethal. We could shoot on ranges that didn't or couldn't have large vacant areas around it.

I’d love to see what happens to body armor with those plastic rounds, like standard 3a armor on a ballistic dummy to see if it hits hard enough to cause internal damage, it obviously won’t go thru, but definitely packs a punch!

That gun detonating on his face might have been a harrowing experience, but it’s probably the best thing to happen to him professionally

About 10 years ago, a Canadian team came to the team to have us test an SRTA .50 round. We found out that 16% lost ballistics after about 30-50’. They were also made of copper and carbon fiber at almost $100/rnd. Considering that it would cost $4mill/day in .50 ammo alone and almost 20% of the rounds were on their own fuckin program after 10-15 meters… we had some feedback. The two science brains the company had there were not happy with what we said. I wonder how many crazy expensive projects are out there just burning through cash.

Can’t have progress in anything without people fucking around and finding out. Helps clean up theoretical sciences by finding out the theory is BS and that normies will still push out the false information they read years ago and that general consensus of things will be solidified as fact despite it being proven trash.

@@hydrophilicchristopher9874totally agree. The aerodynamicist they sent was super young and really green. I don’t think the ink was dry on his PhD at that point. He was SO PISSED at our feedback because his CFD models only had a >1% loss of ballistics after 50 meters. Also, some great discoveries and inventions happen when results are the priority instead of money. We’d probably still have to cook our TV dinner in the oven, as opposed to the microwave if it wasn’t for obscene amounts of money being spent on real world testing.

Hey Scott! Been watching you, Matt, Donut, Baddie, Eli, Brandon, Houston, all of you awesome dudes for quite some time now. Your channel just simply keeps getting more awesome as we go! Still loving all your awesomeness & everything you do for all of us. Keep 'em comin', man! Cheers from TX!

9:25 Let's be real though, for .50 BMG that IS less lethal. Edit: On further thought I realized that that training ammo actually makes the GM6 Lynx a semi-practical home defense weapon.

i never heard them being called less lethal, just "practice ammo" or "plastic ammo". they were used in the bundeswehr a lot while the G3 still was the service rifle. since lots of recruits never shot a firearm before service it was a good way to teach them the basics of marksmanship. but even those 7.62x51mm plastic rounds were more than capable enough of killing someone.

I'd be willing to bet the 'less lethal' claim probably comes from the fact that it won't penetrate even the lightest body armor. Meaning that, in training, if a soldier gets hit while wearing standard issue body armor, they're not likely to get badly injured. So I'd be interested in seeing how some common bullet-proof plates hold up to the training rounds.

"Less lethal .50cal" isn't their official designation, it's what Scot calls them because it's made of plastic, he explains it at the beginning of the video. Officially, they are training rounds, and you're still not supposed to shoot them at people

It is 'less lethal' in that respect, though a hit against someone unarmored would probably still be lethal.

@@TheDeinonychus Fair enough, although I think their most useful characteristic for training purposes is that you don't need as much reinforcement behind the targets, and the fact that it will disintegrate rather than ricochet if it hits a solid surface. The reduced lethality of a direct hit on a human is just a bonus, since with a weapon that big, it's probably a less likely accident scenario than a ricochet or over-penetrating a bad range setup. I could be wrong on that last bit, though, I have no experience with such large caliber firearms.

Never fire plastic ammo past a muzzle brake , look into it . You may have another explosion later on if any plastic builds up causing just enough over pressure to cause a failure .
