Correction at 14:32: The velocity of the .50 BMG is about 910 m/s.

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.

I found the barrel flames from escaping gasses hitting oxygen quite interesting. We could tell the caliber difference between .30 and .50 caliber holes in helicopter airframes by the holes (Vietnam era). .30 caliber rounds left a smooth edge while .50 caliber always left a jagged edge denoting torn metal. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Peace

Looking at this I'm just simply amazed by the tech we have at hand. To be able to see and hear a freaking .50 BMG travel through air and deal that much damage at 250k FPS is simply glorious. Nice job guys.

Kind of a big jump from 308 to 50bmg. Would like to see some intervening steps like: 6.5 Creedmore, 300 win mag, 338 Lapua, and 416 Barrett. THEN try the 50 but start with FMJ and go to Black Tip AP. Great vid, as always!

I find it incredible to see the whole plate vibrating after the 50bmg hit it. Excellent video.

Great video, slow motion analysis and none of the cheesy attempts at humour like so many others out there. Top notch video

the shockwave going past the camera as the bullet was moving through the frame was incredibly cinematic

That .50 was impressive. Fantastic camera work. You guys got yourself a subscriber.

The channel I never knew I needed. Absolutely incredible footage guys.👊🏻🙏🏻

I love this channel so much. I just found it 3 days ago and it has kept me entertained. It has answered many questions I've had

I love that the ballistics gel is visible in the slow-motion, it really highlights just how much fragmentation comes from that bullet smacking the steel plate. Great video gents!

These videos will never get old to a gun nerd like me … I have some HEI 7.62x54r rounds that would be cool to see what they look like really slowed down

Very...very informative video material..... Its mesmerizing how you both can show us the world of micro and nano seconds to us. Thxs

Always nice to see the impacts, kinda sad we didn't see the other side of the steel plate from the .50. I'd love to see the high fps penetration.

Ive seen a lot of high speed like this but that 50 cal was just shocking. That jacket spinning off to the right might as well have been a throwing star fired from a fire arm. Great job guys!

I havent finished the video but I would be interested to see a muzzle loader ball. the cavitation on the gel from the 7.62x54R was cool, the .50BMG was insane.

I have been shooting 50 BMG SINCE 1988. Have reloaded in excess of 4000rds. The M 33 ball round has a mild steel core not lead. I believe that it what penetrated the plate. Love this channel. Keep up the great interesting videos. Thank you! Been shooting 1000 yds several times. Using a Serbu BFG50 and Windrunner M 96

Awesome video! Using the block to visualize the shrapnel was a great idea! Looks like the velocity and energy stats for the 7.62x39 were used for the 54R as well.

Hey! How about shooting these rounds at clay blocks? Or spray cans? That would be amazing to watch in ultra slow speed. 😍❤️

This has to be one of your best videos yet. There's so much going on in these different videos, shock waves, muzzle flash patterns, the extraordinary images of the projectiles as they deform upon impact. The slow mo images are almost artistic in their beauty. On occasion one could see the ballistic gel during the impact and the wound cavities, particularly on the larger projectiles was impressive, particularly on the .50 BMG shot. The both of you have such a casual vibe it's a pleasure watching your content.

I'll love to see this kind of videos in SILENCE, no explanation, no music, no banter. Just the action.

This was super cool to watch, keep it up. Also appreciate the conversion to metric units 🙏

The 5.56 green tip has also a steel penetrator I'm sure that is why it left a dent.

As expected, another amazing and awesome video. Y'all are quickly climbing up my list of favorite KZfaq channels. I cannot wait for more videos.

Wow! What an amazing insightful video! Excellent work.

I'd really love to see you guys do this comparing different types of bullets of the same caliber. Ball vs AP vs API and so on and so forth.

I've watched a lot of slowmo gun/bullet stuff but the way you film it and how you have everything set up really allows you to get the most out of every shot. I remember watching other videos on other channels thinking "that slowmo footage sucked", but everything is so good here. Love it!

Amazing job and so cool! You can see the steel core of the .50 cal slow down when it hits the plate as the copper jacket maintains its speed into the plate.

I've found the video that I've been waiting my whole life to see. That was amazing, spectacular, and fascinating!

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.

Man I've been waiting for such a format for years!!! =D Great content guys! Love it

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. FYI the fifty has comparable speed to the 5.56. Speed and mass rule the day.

Best video I have ever seen in understanding the energy involved with bullets. I hope yall do one with a 300 WM and 300 WSM.

As someone else commented, it would be awesome to see large clay blocks shot in ultra slo-mo! Additionally, if you can get your hands on them, seeing .50BMG black tip, blue tip, and the red/silver tip fired at a steel plate in ultra slo-mo would be incredible!

Raufoss round??? That would be nice. 😁

Brilliant video. Very informative

That was rather fascinating. Great content.

this is the only place that has videos i wish kept going longer instead of the opposite! nice work

Great video! Would have loved to see something like a 40 grain 22-250, something small, but super fast, pushing 4k fps. I've put dings in AR500 steel at 50-75 yards with mine. Keep up the great work!

Your 50 is a beast of a rifle and I knew it was going through that thin plate steel 👍 Very nice camera

love the sounds!!

Awesome video, as usually. The visuals are just spectacular and the quality is so good. One issue: it seemed like the data for energy and velocity for the 7.62 x 54 was the data for the 7.62 x 39. They were identical. I was expecting the Mosin round to have a lot more energy. I might be mistaken. Looking forward to the next one.

Ricochets would be an interesting video down the line, now that we've looked at fragmentation. Another idea that springs to mind is bullets spinning on ice but that might be a bit tricky to capture, anyway love the content. I've been looking forward to this one, this channel is gonna blow up in popularity.

Your camera makes everything so interesting. Thanks

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.

Awesome video guys. I think seeing arrows with different broadheads hitting a steel plate would be something different and interesting.

Great stuff guys! The highspeed footage was stunning.

Definitely one of the best videos I’ve seen

Just got a subscriber. That was some interesting stuff. You gotta do more videos with the 50BMG and more big caliber rifles like that.

This exceeded my expectations yet again, awesome results. I'm stoked for the shotgun rounds! Thanks guys.

Great video showing how much fragmentation actually happens when you shoot steel with rifles ! Fire as always 🤙

This is so satisfying to watch

Awesome!! Truly awesome..thanks guys..

That footage is just awesome. I can watch this all das long! :)

Will tannerite Stop a bullet in Slow motion: Shoot a small cup of tannerite, and see if the bullet passes trough or gets stopped by the explosion.

Subbed! This was incredible.

My first visit to the channel. I really enjoyed the video!

You guys keep putting together wonderfully interesting demonstrations of teminal ballistics. Your Chanel has been quite interesting and educational. I hooe yall get to keep having fun making suoer cool vids!

I would like to see the same video on mild steel. You would have to be extremely careful to protect yourselves from ricochet, but almost every rifle round (other than .300blk) would leave awesome gouges in the steel like it’s butter. We could also learn more about how ricochet happens when shooting steel.

This was fun thanks so much fellas

Incredible footage!!

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!

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.

It’s a work of art and it’s beautiful

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.

Great video, I was entranced the whole time!!!!!!

Absolutely amazing video, anti-material is an entire different level of ballistics.

I absolutely love these videos. I'd love to see a wide array of shotgun rounds and maybe revisit the same calibers from past videos with different targets eventually. You guys are adding some great informative content to YT. Thank you for that.

That .50 was awesome, it looks like it punched and shattered the plate rather than penetrating with a nice hole. It would be neat to see a slowmo of the back side of the plate when that hits to see what the bullet looks like on the other side. I'd also love to see some different types of rounds, like armor piercing, tracer and incendiary. I think those would give some very interesting results when they impact.

Great presentation shooting all those bullets 🙏

Absolutely the best video so far bro’s

I mentioned it on the community post, but I'd love to see more data on the rotation and rpm. I've seen a lot of videos on impact, but almost none on rotational inertia and what it can do to a target, etc. Twist rates vs muzzle velocity and such. If you get time! I'm sure you guys are quite busy.

Absolutely great video! I miss calibers like .338 Lapua, .300 Win Mag, .460 CheyTac and some other hunting calibers. Would be great to see another video with these :)

Finally a true high speed cam gun tuber! Subscribed !

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

Great video! I would have LOVED if you had included 6.5 Grendel and Creedmoor though! It would be interesting to see how it fragments relative to 556 and 762x39 Love your vids!

Gentleman that was an awesome video I really enjoyed the hell out of that.

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.

i love your content its actually very entertaining and informative

Great video, guys! Would be nice if you listed the weight of the bullets in the "specs" screen.

Great video thanks

Cool video, and filming! It's refreshing to see something like this without all the bad jokes and stupid attempts at humor that many of the other slo-mo and gun channel people do!

You guys forgot the most important stats of all: the plate steel itself. What kind of steel is it, how heavy is the plate, and how thick is it?

Been waiting for this. Rifles are so much more fun than handguns.

First time watching your channel. Awesome video! One suggestion for you guys would be to tell us what type of gun you're firing & what brand & type of ammo. You mentioned the .50 was out of a Noreen but didn't mention what grain bullet or type (like regular fmj). I'm definitely a lifer to the channel. Keep it up!

Endless possibilities for cool videos with slowmo. Like you mentioned toward the end, you should do this with various shotgun rounds.

10:45 Once the bullet gets all the way to the left of the screen, you can see the bullet travel through the shockwave with a shockwave of its own.

This is a masterpiece

The pressure waves are awesome.❤

Great video as always! Other military sniper cartridges like .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua would be interesting steps between the 7.62/.308 and the 50 BMG.

It would be really interesting to see how anti spalling coating would effect things. Some people swear it does nothing but steel armor manufacturers say it works near flawlessly.

Very cool!! Awesome show of physics.

Really enjoy your videos.

My hat's off! I bet you'll see a lot of spikes in the videos's audience retention chart 😉. Beautiful imagery there guys. You're setting the bars so high in the guntube. Keep up the awesome work. Thank you so much.

I'm genuinely surprised by the rotation speed of the projectiles. Is there a way you could include that data (RPM) in future videos? Great stuff guys.
