Kentucky Ballistics neck must be driving him crazy right now

Some of the XSAPI and ESAPI plates have a crack arrestor in them that’s usually a thin piece of “sheet metal” Those look like XSAPI and have Silicon Cardbide for strike faces. Very good at tungsten. The M993 performed better because of the mass of the penetrator. Even though the speed is there the ceramic eats up the smaller core.

The black ceramic is Boron carbide, its darker than the cheap aluminium oxide used in most other plates.

It would be interesting to see what a sabot 308 loaded onto a 338 Lapua case could do.

There could be differences in velocities because of barrel length. When I worked security on yachts, we needed a minimum 24" barrel length and a maximum of 32". When I was engaged in situation, the enemy was using a Chinese cloned Dragonuv and even though they were using 7.62x54R steel core and we think some spotters rounds, they couldn't pierce the fairing amd the 12mm steel of the hull nor the windows we had which were 1 inch thick. They didn't look very good but they held. Better than the guy shooting at us. 4 guns using DD Mk18 and 'copies' of the SR-25 with a 28" barrel, somebody got him and we were using Remington 172 gr FMJ boattail and 168 gr round nose. We easily pierced their aluminum hulll from 450 yards away.

We need Going Ballistic and Ballistic High Speed to collaborate on some of these sabot rounds.

I could feel the tension through the internet when Justin smacked that mag on the ground!! lol

Those appear to have been XSAPI plates. They were rated for greater AP threats then the regular issued ESAPI. Only produced in limited numbers making them extremely desirable. So much for those 2 lol.

Удачи, парни. Смотрю вас, учу английский по вашим видео. Хорошо поставленная речь, почти ничего не понимал, сейчас прогресс на лицо.

I see you took tiborasurus rex's advice and removed the muzzle device.

Hey guys, glad to see you back. It's awesome to see more slap round content. I'd love to see if a 50.cal slap could make it through the Squire Stronghold SS100CS padlock... That things a beast, I've seen it take multiple normal and AP 50.cal but I've never seen anyone try a slap on it. I think they're quite expensive though.

Back in the day Remington made a sabo 30-06 round but the best I could get was a 6-in group at 100 yd, and that was one of the better groups

Slo-mo music is back, and Justin's war on magazines continues. Life is good.

Glad you're back brothers!

Don’t try cutting them on your bandsaw. The ceramic will just destroy your blade.

Ahh yes, metal side plates, so now I can have broken ribs for dinner with spall in my armpits for dessert

Penetration is a combination of core construction, velocity, projectile mass and penetrator length. The M993 is rated to penetrate 15mm of RHA and the M995 is rated at 12mm of RHA. M948 7.62 x 51 SLAP rounds were discontinued for a reason, ie they were blowing up and destroying barrels in the M60 machinegun and personally I don't trust them not to damage the rifle or injure the operator. Count yourselves very lucky.

Glad to have yall back uploading videos.

I'm glad you guys are back making videos !

High sectional density is important for penetration. Think of a sheet of paper; No matter how fast its going, theres nothing behind it to force the contact point through the target

No lab coat for you. You are no Garand Thumb

Awesome video 👍

Nicely done. Great as always

Nice Thomas Dolby reference! I love this channel lol!

😂😂 love you guys. Always awesome videos. I'm highly surprised and disappointed you don't have a million subscribers. Very well deserve it and can do it. 💪💪💪

Никогда не надоест смотреть как эти чуваки всякую хрень расстреливают!

You're awesome guys! As always, a great video! Keep it going! 😎

Just a little heads up with regards to saboted rounds! Years ago (mid 80's- early 90's) I ran across several sources for (NWM) 5.56 'W' rounds as well as SLAP rounds that I should have gotten more a handful of... except for the fact that the initial tests were somewhat disappointing when reloaded into .300 Win. magnum and .30/378 Weatherby cases... utilizing the original 7.62 SLAP sabots. The rounds were shot into Cold Rolled Mild Steel and various stainless steels (AR 500/550, et al., was not readily available as is the case these days, unfortunately). Later tests in the early 90's... utilized monolithic brass sleeved sabots around the tungsten cored 5.56 projectiles loaded into what amounted to today's Chey-tach case necked to .30 caliber. Barrel lengths were 36". Those Tungsten 5.56 brass sleeved rounds performed exceptionally well at a little over 6,000 fps... bulging the back 2.5" cold rolled steel plate. When working with sabots, other than the original SLAP rounds, I would not trust any other plastic sabot that was from any unknown source short of top level government or major manufacturer. Also, even when reloading the original SLAP rounds... it's extremely important to know how they were obtained or pulled from loaded ammunition in order to avoid possible damage to the projectiles when die or kinetic approaches are used (i.e.- usually sacrificing the case via tubing cutter, was the safest bet). Lastly, the choice of propellent should be undertaken by only the most experienced reloaders with extensive experience with the cartridge cases and propellent burn rate and relevant P/T curve data (which can sometimes be acquired from the various labs),if possible. Always keeping in mind the importance of keeping your powder dry.

The M995 was keyholing. I suspect something wrong with them - reloads?

Wicked video. Highly prudent.

Wow. They reinvented the .22-250. Only they made it more complicated to load.

Ooh my goodness what a power, I love it.

do NOT magazine feed SABOT type rounds. Carefully put into chamber and release the bolt. The SABOT projectile can become dislodged during feeding and result in a barrel obstruction, then your face gets blown off.

Justin please stop dropping the mags in the dirt😂

You guys are awesome. 😊

The real advantage to those sabot rounds is that the bullet can't be traced back to the rifle as it does not come into contact with the lands and grooves.

the mag swipes off the table awesome!

I can appreciate Justin’s attempt to humor 😂

Those SAPI plates actually seem to be pretty decent

Vietnam veteran: M-14 springfield best battle rifle ever made. 7.62 x 51 NATO. Total garbage m-16 colt , 223 cal. Matel....TONKA. U.S. Army issued.

The first level 4 pad impact slowmo was AMAZINGLY satisfying

GB. Another good and interesting video. Thanks for sharing and take care.

I'm just here for the traditional mag toss!! ROFLMBBAO!!

i think that would be a good t-shirt idea guys, '' lets punch some holes'' and have a image of a gun on the shirt. :)

I'm appalled by how little subs you guys have. Your videos are fantastic, and I always watch from beginning to end. I wish yall the best

Cool stuff

Good video 👍🏻

Military Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) plates are primarily made from ceramic materials, specifically boron carbide or silicon carbide. These materials are chosen for their high hardness and ability to stop high-velocity rifle rounds, such as the 7.62x51mm NATO M80 ball. The Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert (ESAPI) plates, which are an upgraded version, are typically made from boron carbide and offer even greater protection, capable of stopping armor-piercing rounds like the .30-06 M2AP.

love the deal with the mag lmao

That Sabot probably started blowing apart the minute it touched the plate.. probably why the whole looked oblong.

It's all about energy... Energy=Mass X Velocity or E=MV...Science!

Those slap rounds mean serious business no joke!

The slap round 308 was crazy!

Why yes, the SAPI plate is an aluminum canister filled with Boron Carbide particles, either sintered or in a polymer binder,of scientifically calculated size. The purpose is to abrade the bullet to nothingness before it goes through. By the way, getting the powder on your hands will affect the size of your manhood.

This guy reminds me of every dad growing up.

Im guessing Boron Carbide

I liked this fight between plates and rounds

He Hates those Magazines !!!

Yes guys! You should do camo lab coats! You know, for science lol 😂

those sapi plates are awesome. u see the round dumped all its energy and turns it into ceramic dust.

One thing I have tried to get people to test is the plastic shopping bags. I bought a case of them, but now do not have a place to test them, even tho a friend does, but would not be as professional as what you do. I basically wanted to know if 1-2 inches of 'new' shopping bags would stop handgun rounds, or how many inches it would take. I am thinking it would make expedient body armor if it would stop pistol rounds, or at least slow them down enough to save your life.

Спасибо за видео, интересно )

Very impressive rounds . Should've had something like ballistic gelatin or meat behind the armor plate put between the setup, soft fleshlike material added behind the armor would've changed the total blackface deformation and results would've been different.

You guys don't deserve to be at 200k subscribers, you DESERVE to be at 2 million subscribers

I believe the stuff in the sapper plate is boron carbide

dude that dent would break a rib cage

the plate behind the sapi plate might have stopped penetration in the future consider air gapping or putting soft flesh like material behind it.

They are ceramic body armour and made out of silicon carbide. Others are made out of alumina, or boron carbide, or titanium diboride

So if we are to believe the experiments, the M993 performed better than the saboted M995. Looks like the saboting of the 5.56 round is counterproductive. Just use the correct caliber for the gun, 308?

Glad you guys are getting out and having fun!!! I don’t know why but I found myself curious about how you guys met and how long yall have been friends. What is the origin story of Going Ballistic?

I subscribed just because of the 7.62X51 SLAP content.

I have some Winchester ballistic tip 55 grain loaded up in .243 , I clocked them at 3993 fps out of my rem700 spsv. I wonder if they go through armor.

For the Algorithm, and because y’all are awesome. 👍🏻

Conservation of momentum is the reason heavier round is better than smaller round.

the M995 carries 3584 joules and the m993 about 7719 joules. So the M993 has still more than double the kinetic energy

Not gonna do it, would be prudent for this.. juncture. 🤣 Been a while since I was remimded of Dana Carvy doing Bush Sr.

The ceramic in the SAPI plates is aluminium oxide, should be fairly safe to touch.

slap rounds on level 3? didnt even know they had level 3 steel. lol

I've been loading these in a 22 creedmoor. You can get just the projectiles off gunbroker.

can you please tell me how you make mock-ups of the jelly body that you shoot at

I've got some 55 grain 3006 shell they're very fast

The first sabot round that went 3460 fps could have picked up the plastic sabot instead of the actual bullet. Not sure but is a possibility

Sabo into 54r? Be cool to see.

Regarding the SLAP rounds and their apparent inaccuracies. Two things come to mind. 1. How well does the sabot engage the rifling? 2. How securely is the projectile held by the sabot? If either is substandard then projectile spin will be garbage.

Them SLAPs are fckn amazing! I would sure like to find some of them. What barrel length on yall's .308?

Punching holes and kicking mags! 👍

Can you suggest a great helmet please, I just watched the hike Pro helmet you tested that was supposed to be lvl 4 but couldn't take a 9mil. Also should I get the gel armour for behind my plate armour, is it worth it.

It's the core

Guess you cleared the rifle after dropping the magazine..... I fuct that up once upon a time and got my offical negligent discharge.... rick in Tennessee. Patron state of shootin stuff.

I'd like to see a collab with you guys and Ballistic High Speed.

Level 4 is ceramic core.

I Like when you do the comparisons .. dont get Fancy just keep it simple Why not do same round in different materials Like that young dude From banana balistic Get your own Barrier And do them over and over You guys got them crazy Power Bullets

Cool where can we pick um up at?

pull a vacuum round something that's already fast ( 32gr .204 ruger ) see if you can punch through a vest .

Try dagny dagger 3d printed ap atlas arms

Scott from Kentucky Ballistics neck is itchy when y'all made this videa

That mag deal is 😬 but he has plenty there disposable , one use .

Garmin chrono ftw

I know they are expensive but with how much you shoot crazy ammo you need a new Chrono that is more reliable like the Garmin or Caldwell Velociraptor

I think you need 1 million subscribers keep your nose to the fire
