Lets keep in mind that spaced armor is way harder to penetrate than regular non-spaced plates. The reason is that the projectile has space to tumble, fragment and/or change flight while traveling in between the plates. Great video as always, love how you bring out different targets to be shot with crazy rounds.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but copper work hardens. The more it's deformed, the harder it gets. That could be part of the reason the black tip didn't do as much damage and is almost certainly why the bullet turned left. It kept pulling towards the softer side. You can anneal the copper to get it back to a pliable state after it's been work hardened.

What´s the most dangerous job in the world, you ask? Being Edwin Sarkissians camera-man.

Please, give your cameraman a raise. He's pretty damn funny. Mad love!

Funfact : he literally burns is finger in almost all of his videos picking the hot bullets.

The second shot veered off in a direction away from where the first shot went in. The first shot made the metal around the hole it created harder from compression forces. If fired at fresh copper plates it would have gone through all three.

I've been planning on buying a Barrett 50 BMG for the past 3 years. But I've gotta say.... because of this channel alone, I will now be buying The Serbu 50 A. Thanks Edwin.👍

Man Your videos are pretty cool just subbed ... keep em coming

No pennies were harmed in the making of this video.

Ok got to admit, I died at the office scene

That was cool, congrats on the subs!!! I was one of the first 500 and glad to see you come this far!!!

That 1st piece of copper with the tracer/ incindiary round hole was like art, that was so cool n perfect, I'd have put it on a shelf somewhere😁 keep up the good work, ur videos are awesome!!

Gotta agree. That’s one of the coolest impact/penetration results I’ve ever seen. You should auction or gift it. That’d be a badass wall piece.

Russian models and Edwin before shooting : "We're hot!" 😂

Love your vids! Never a dull moment!!!

No matter how many videos I see with the 50 bmg. The sheer power of that round will never cease to amaze me. Just amazing

"Maybe you will cooperate with "The slowmoguys

Note:tracer compound burns very hot.

Amazing that a projectile can penetrate 3 inches of copper and still have lethal power. I recall from documentaries hearing stories of American troops in tanks getting hit by 50 cal bursts. They said the bullet would bounce around inside the cockpit and sometimes kill someone.

Nice video..subscribed for your humour..both of you all work well together..and a mild humour to ur videos as always.. nice...

Hi I love your videos they are so cool and fun :) GOOD JOB !!!!! ;)

So your second shot might have hit a hardened region of the copper. When deformed copper actually gets much stronger and harder, that's the kind of skin-like patterning you see around the penetrations.

You guys are my favorite KZfaq channel. I’m going back watching the videos before I subscribed.

You are the best thank you for making great videos and working hard 👌🏽

*Touches bullet and gets burned* OW!!! *Touches 3 more times right after* OW STILL HOT

You are making meth/heroine addicts lose their minds with all that sweet copper, lol! Great vid

Should grind the metal back down to the surface of the plates, clamp all three together, and try a APIT round on the whole block (without the space in between). Assuming the danger of bounce-back ricochet can be ameliorated.

Man love Yur videos ❤❤ Take care of Your self

First! Wait...that projectile was still hot? Who would have guessed?

You are my inspiration! What to do when I grow up

Amazing videos you produce, Thank you so much

Great channel. I really enjoy you shooting that 50 cal rifle.

This was amazing, it punched through much better than I thought it would and I bet that copper was worth a lot of pennies.

50 cal vs Tungsten please

It's lovely to see these vids.

Amazing, that really surprised me. I thought copper would have been more resistant. Slow motion would be great too. But very interesting. Many thanks

Okay, good to know. Note to self; do not make tank out of copper, got it.

What a beast!

Well i always like ur video, thanks fod putting up such quality content😘..And you are a funny guy lol

Very cool that first shot was wicked and explosive

How much did all that copper cost? You just sell it for scrap when you were done? Cool video. Would love to see more rounds. 22tcm, 22-250 etc

Turn them sideways and clamp them together and shoot them on edge

We need the videos to keep coming, please save those fingers! I can recommend the Leatherman Skeletool CX, my favorite edc tool for the last 5 years.

Great work guys Thnx!

Would've been nice to see the plates together as well.

nice one dude!

Edwin you really should do a compilation video of finger burns LMAO!!! You guys are great entertainment!

I love the sound of the ricochets. Tungston was brilliant.

Ur the best 😍

WONDERFUL l love it

Is copper the I mean one of the softest metals or is lead good shooting as usual and thanks for what you do again 1000 thumbs up

first time u fixed the targets , I always want that from u

It's interesting that the armor piercing round went through less than the the Armor piercing incendiary

Great job you are the best gun you tuber there is

I only give a thumbs up when Edwin burns his fingers :-) Love the videos. Thanks for laugh.

Brilliant best one of yet🤘

please dont ever wear gloves

On a serious note. It would be nice to see the limits of each 50 BMG projectile. Specifically, how much material is required to resist penetration by each type of round. Start with softer materials of increasing thickness, like copper and aluminum and work your way up to 7075/7475 T6 then onto brass, mild steel, hardened steel. This way we could see the limits of each round. It would be a bit more of an experiment than you are used to but that is no big deal. You have the equipment, interest and God knows you have the time... lol. It would be a series of videos that many people would be interested in AND it would keep you out of trouble for a few months. Think about it. I actually do not know what those limits are and it would be nice to know.

I just realized you reached 1.3M subs, congrats!

I watch all of ur videos... Love them... One request... Can u show us ur camera man on one of ur videos... Ur conversations are much funnier then any comedy videos

I always thought cooper plates are more impact resistant? 🤔

45 degress. Night shot!

good ! continue with VS videos and you will grow fast .

This dude has a dream job shooting up stuff, copper plates today, titanium plates, cockpit windshields on other days.

gloves Edwin gloves jejeje,

Could you imagine getting hit by that Round !!! 😕

M having so much fun with all the guns and bullet stuff... Just love it... Make it more fun though...

Best gun channel ever...

Mi amigo José. Ahí andas wey!?

just got Facebook: facebook.com/Edwin-Sarkissian-152550912003267/ Also that bullet was sitting there for a while I didn't think it would be hot.

Love you video and always follow your video. Keep going bro...

5:34 bullet hit and bounce between last 2 copper plates and fly away(watch carefully). Nice slow motion, great view on bullet :)

Now shoot gold plates

very cool . Cooper its probably the second most importante metal for humanity

WOW ! AMAZING HOW IT MADE THAT LARGE WHOLE GOING IN THE COPPER ! GREAT VIDEO !

Interesting to see. Copper is fairly soft. I would say, always compare with a standard round. Very cool to have high tech rounds but standard is a good reference point. You can also look up the principle of the rounds you use. For future videos, I'd very much like to see aermet 100 plates if you can get someone to give you some. It's a very strong steel alloy. Maybe start with 10mm because it's strong. You could also try Glare sheet which is an alu-fiberglass composite used for aircraft and explosive resistant cargo containers.

This guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I like his 50cal. vids.

You think with what he drops on .50 cal BMG rounds, he'd afford a pair of gloves! : ) Awesome videos...keeping me laughing! Keep up the good work!

Edwin u should always have a multitool with you... GREAT video guys

I thought I could see filling turns in the copper ! Really see the spin effect.

man that "that what she said" finally got me ;) A like is dropped :)

Hell yea nice work dude!

Congrats on 400k subs!

this testing is great .lease keep it going.

might be nice to know a bit more about the rounds you fired. like projectile weight in grains, and perhaps the powder charge amount to give us some real world details. obviously that first round being tracer incendiary has a different jacket but being armor piercing is that tungsten or depleted uranium? just a few thoughts.

Boy I sure wish I could hang out with you guys. And learn some stuff

#1) 50 cal deserves it's reputation #2) His friend with the camera has real good eyes

You guys together are funny as heck!!

Before I see your video I've been very interested in this this should be very very good I was thinking about doing a project to making something bulletproof and I was going to use copper to soften the low before I use something like titanium or tungsten

Dude that is so cool.. cant do anything like that here in scotland.. wish I could get one of those 50 cal spent bullets...

You kill me! haha. always burning your finger! I figured the soft copper would allow for pass-through. It may not tumble next time, and the incendiary might tumble next..?? Great vid!!

"Just in case there is a ricochet it won't come back. Hopefully, that kind of made sense in my own head. It better not." Lol

Wow what a difference. I suppose the incidnary round heats up allowing for easier penetration, and acts as a propellant?

Definitely need a .50 BMG loaded with API rounds when you have that much copper on hand (-: That had to be an expensive experiment. Bear in mind that although copper is pretty soft, it is very dense (it's actually used in composite tank armor) so for a bullet to go through 3" of it is really impressive.

Omg you two are hilarious. Love the videos.

Amazing video never stop

Keep making your videos there great

That first shot was amazing

Great video... as always. Keep up the very good work And no I did not think it would still be hot either :-)

Cant believe that first easily went through 3inches of copper. Great vid
