We also seen 20mm fail to penetrate the AR500 steel and the Titanium. In fact we saw the 20mm ironically did less damage than the .50BMG...

@@ericjohnson3755 it ALSO depends on how hot each round is actually loaded to. You can have a round that's not loaded hot at all and shoot it out of a LONG barrel, if that's the case it would be slowing down the bullet.

My apologies if it was mentioned already but one thing to note is that spacing the plates impedes penetration compared to sandwiching them together. Reason being is that spacing the plates will cause the projectile to destabilize and hit side on, which is not good for penetration. The Germans used spaced armor in WW2 to counter Soviet 14.5mm Anti tank rifles for this reason. Whether or not this was the desired result, I do not know, but someone everybody should be aware of.

@7150285 Жыл бұрын

You are wrong. Before we start an argument I just want to let you know there are many videos online showing that spacing will only allow bullets to penetrate the plates much easier and FURTHER than sandwiching them together, because most likely with the spacing it wouldn't have any back support...

No flame intended, but that's a myth. The incidence of damage occurs far before support of the target makes any difference. It's like thinking that you would be less wounded by a shot, if you were braced against a building. At these forces the effect of supported vs. unsupported targets means nothing, ballistically or realistically.

@7150285 Жыл бұрын

@@45CaliberCure this arguments/debates of having back support vs no back support have been going on for many many years for so long and I think everyone is sick of this endless argument. But my from own personal observation is that having a back support vs no back support will make little to no difference. EVEN IF it did make a difference it certainly wouldn't be a HUGE difference, that is for sure. Most damages is already done on the plates before the plates even started to move...

First your videos are great. As a reminder I read the WW2 50 BMG manual and it states that the 50 cal bullet (Ball?) takes 200 yards to stabilize in flight.. What effect that has on your many science experiments remains to be seen (maybe zero). I don''t know about the 20mm round stabilize distance? In any event It would not be easy to check long range shooting but it will always be a what if for me. Keep up the good work.
