My understanding about the .416 ( and yes, I heard about it ~10 years ago, first time on Future Weapons, IIRC ) was that it was designed specifically for extreme long-range precision anti-personnel use, not as a response to the 50 BMG ban. They specifically wanted a round that could stay supersonic past 2000m, thus the early focus on slimmer, lower drag bullets.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

Are you sure it was the 416? I thought it was the Cheytech .408 round. Perhaps same episode But i might od gotten the caliber wrong.

[@JaronActual]

@@kevynhansyn2902 Both rounds were on the show. And both were in development years before the CA 50 BMG ban. I love TFM vids, but I don't think it's accurate to say the .416 was inspired by the 50 BMG ban. Chris Barrett said developing the right powder for the round took 2-3 years.

[@edifyguy]

The projectile is a highly aerodynamic and hydrodynamic shape and didn't deform because the brass is also fairly hard, moving at an excruciatingly high speed, and the net effect of that was a pass-through on the melon with minimal disruption.

[@keithjurena9319]

Recoil is from the equation force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. Both the bullet mass and the propellant mass. At typical rifle muzzle pressure, the exit velocity is 4500 to 6000 feet per second. And roughly half that mass isn't moving significantly until the bullet leaves the barrel. That is how a muzzle brake works. It reduces generated recoil from propellant gas and uses it to counter bullet mass recoil.

I am honestly impressed at how well the recoil is distributed throughout the weapon to where it will take you little to no time to get zeroed back in on your target. Plus, thank you for describing that it feels like a .223 caliber when firing, albeit with the muzzle brake. I honestly thought it would feel like it's taking my arm off if I ever got the chance to safely use one.

Throwing a 400 grain slug at 2400 FPS, the proprietary Rigby loading has been replaced in the marketplace by at least 4 others with essentially the same ballistics. The .416 Barrett is a whole 'nother cat, however.

Fun fact: since California banned Californians from owning .50BMG rifles, Ronnie Barrett banned the state of California from purchasing from his company. He will not sell to any LE agency in California, won't allow any distributors to ship his products to LE agencies in California (or lose distributorship), and he won't do maintenance on the rifles owned by Cali LE agencies.

[@marisstaff7019]

The watermelon didn’t explode because of a physics law. You can only resist force with as much force as you have. The 416 was way, way too powerful for the watermelon, so it couldn’t resist against it which causes most watermelon bullet explosions.

[@Edwinh222]

Also the the .416 (3150fps) has more speed than the .50bmg (2820fps) so when the .416 hit the watermelon it was moving so fast it doesn't have the stopping power needed to make it explode the 50BMG on the other hand moves slower and is heavier so it has the stopping power that would make the watermelon explode on contact due to the rapid tranfer of energy

The bullet was just to fast for the melon. The energy was not converted, maybe since a hard projectile was hitting a not dense enought material. That's just what I guess. (If you do not understand what I mean... it's okay. I am from Germany 😂 My English skills are not the best)

"solid brass .416 bullet" That solid brass, sharply pointed spitzer bullet didn't even notice when it hit the melon, it bored through like a drill bit. There wasn't enough resistance to deform the bullet and no flat point to set up a shockwave, so basically it was like stabbing the melon with a pencil.
