The .223 and 5.56 difference wasn’t so much due to chamber pressure but the fact that the M193 (.223) has a lead core while the M855 (5.56) includes a steel penetrator. That is likely why you saw more sparks in the 5.56 and a deeper dent.

It makes sense, having heard .50 bmg ring on plate , but actually seeing that degree of oscillation in something so solid is amazing. But it was all amazing to watch ,thank you .

Should note the 300 blackout was moving at subsonic speed. 300 blackout comes in many different loadings, both subsonic and supersonic. Also wish you would state the weight of the bullet. Since energy is mass x velocity squared, that would be interesting to know.

Great high speed video. It would probably help you guys out to know more about the cartridges you test, even rudimentary knowledge at that. When a guy says the bullet was "probably moving faster" when the velocities are typically printed on the box is revealing. Nothing in this was unexpected but still fun to watch.

I don't think this was entirely fair to the 54R, it was shot out of a carbine barrel. You can lose a couple hundred FPS with that much shorter of a barrel. My full length M91/30 (28.7" barrel) will launch a 150gr bullet at upwards of 2,800FPS, or 2,690 ft/lbs of energy. I do also think their muzzle energy number was copied from the x39 on accident; 54R should absolutely have significantly more than 1500 ft/lbs of muzzle energy either way.

@codered7453

I was thinking the same thing. The 7.62x54 should be moving approximately 350-450 FPS faster than the '39. Of course it could have been an intentional "comment generator" too. Either way no '39 is duplicating '54R velocities.

Ricochets would be an interesting video down the line, now that we've looked at fragmentation.

Great Work, love the visual physics. Watching the the 50 Cal shoot through the plate it struck me that it would be very interesting to have the plate set up in such a manner that the back of the pate could be filmed as well. The plate would need to be secured so the back was bare and would break away in the opposite direction from recording equipment.

Incredible footage!!

The 5.56 "green tip" has a section of steel penetrator since It is spec'd to punch through a metal helmet at 600m (10 gage steel plate is used for testing). It actually penetrates steel better than M80 7.62 bullets which only have a lead core. This is also why some ranges don't like it being used on their steel targets.

Another great video! I'd love to see the back side of an armor plate as a 50bmg goes through it, in SUPER SLOW MO. Would be really interesting!

Love your guys's channel! Looking forward to the shotgun video!

The kinetic energy transferred into the plate from the 50bmg was immense!! You could see the plate distorting as it vibrated .. To make a plate that thick with a relatively small area in relation to it vibrate like that takes a HUGE amount of energy.

This is going to be great keep up the great work.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the comments but the effect you are seeing at 07:22 - is called the Schlieren effect. When you have a point light source, in this case the sun, illuminating the subject, the shock wave that the bullet creates is visible in the shadow due to the refraction of the light from the source. The refraction , due to the compression of the air by the shock wave, causes the light to bend and scatter. The presence of a shock wave is not indicative to being super-sonic.

The 50BMG Muzzle Velocity seems way off, 4000 M/S is definitely not right

This is one of the more fascinating videos I've seen. Great slow-mo shots of bullets in flight. Their spin is clearly visible as are the rifling marks. The energy of the Big 50 is awesome. Also, it's interesting all of the blow-by that exits the barrel well ahead of the bullet , and the ensuing fireball. For an encore, how about a 20 MM? 40 MM? Think about it. For a unfair comparison of muzzle energy, the 16-inch guns of the Missouri battleships produce about 262 million ft.-lbs of energy. And that requires 660 lbs. of powder. (6 bags at 110 lbs. each) And the maximum breech pressure is 18.5 tons per square inch (440,000 ft.lbs) Maybe you could video one of those!! I really enjoyed this video and envy you guys having such neat (and costly) equipment to conduct such experiments.
