[@Bobbymaccys]

“The RPG craziness” that’s the understatement of the century!

[@jfess1911]

In the video, the 8mm round seems to impact slightly nose-up. Bullets tend to wobble a bit immediately after leaving the muzzle and often travel over 100 yards before that wobble is damped out. This is often called " bullet going to sleep". IIRC some WWI-era bullets were found to have their best consistent penetration of obstacles like sandbags at somewhere near 200 yards for this reason. Some FMJ bullets like the US M193 and M855 have much better terminal effects against animals when they hit at a slight angle. The problem was that the yawing effect is unpredictable and about 1 out of 6 bullets would hit the target almost straight-on and penetrate much deeper before yawing or breaking up. This was called the "fleet yaw problem". A primary reason for the design of the M855A1 was more consistent terminal effect that did not rely on impact angle.

[@alabamaman1372]

Thanks.

[@dunneemofozilla5718]

That or the weapon is heavily used and about to fail. Personally id be wanting to Xray it before putting too many more rounds through it, else risk a catastrophic failure and the associated injuries...

[@Nitrodasnipa]

@@dunneemofozilla5718Could additionally be a bad rifling twist rate and bullet weight combo, just causing it to not stabilize properly.

[@abadran8174]

Oh I see. Because I'm Egyptian and I was thinking it might have been the low quality barrel. When I was in the army all our service weapons were "helwani" and it was a well known thing that the AK would burn out under heavy auto firing much easier than the Russian one. When I say heavy auto I mean as in southern Egypt weddings, not in combat, which is much more ruthless full auto by the way. So I guess Egyptian Mauser is just as good as the German one.

[@Shrike200]

BHS+Smarter everyday + slow mo guys = epic. Massive collab and get Destin to coordinate some missile/rockets tests

[@g54b95]

The difference between the 8mm Mauser impact and the .30-06 impact is that the 8mm out of the Hakim (pronounced Ha keem) started off with a flat trajectory out of the barrel but was already starting to go nose-up when it struck the plate (trying to keyhole). The .30-06 had a normal trajectory when it hit the plate. Hakim barrel is shot out.

[@Snarlacc]

At 9:31 you can see the bulllet has almost no rifling impressions, and at one sside there are none, so yeah, the bore is either over spec or completely shot out. I was really weirded out by seeing the bullet yaw this heavily over such a small distance, then I looked at this comment and the muzzle slow-mo.

3d printed stuff. I run a 3d printing company. Not only is it becoming a massive thing world wide but huge in the 2A community. I believe there is tons of content to be made around that. As well as tons of experiments. Explosives, bullets, armor. Sure all of it is going to give out but I think seeing how and where in slow motion (let's say a torture test on a printed AR lower until it fails) the device fails. This would provide incredible insight for the 3d printing community as well as the firearms industry. People are going to innovate, would be fun to see yall be a part of it!

And one day i may yet live in a world I can build guns and suppressors for me and my sons and go hunt in our backyard without being disturbed or disturbing!

[@wompy-ru]

@TheUstiWaya check out the FTN-3 that released about a month or two ago, supersonic full auto 5.56 and .308 torture testing that looked great after 500+ rounds of hard abuse, not a melt down mind you but mag dumps are fine, designed so that even when the inside starts to soften up from heat there's still material there so it holds the baffles shapes well, paired that with the standard method of fiberglass wrap on it or the beefier epoxy into a carbon fiber tube, things a beast with extensive testing, probably close to over 15K rounds from all the beta testers the designer worked with, wicked stuff

Since I was a kid watching the Matthew McConaughey movie “Sahara“, I’ve always wondered what ballistics would look like against a Civil War ironclad, specifically, the USS Virginia. It was 24 inches thick, staggered oak and pine, plated with 2 inches of rolled iron. Would love to see how well the armor would hold up to both period accurate, as well as modern munitions.

The "payload" on an API is housed in the tip under the copper jacket and the core is hardened steel so the round didn't turn around, that is what the AP core looks like after the "payload" is activated.

[@Fadaar]

black tip probably has a better chance of going through two then right?

[@bradleydysinger6906]

@@Fadaar Yes. The construction on the black tips is a pointed tungsten carbide core so it retains more mass and has a better shape to force its way through armor. The API is really only designed to pernitrate aircraft and helicopters and start fuel/munition fires. The AP (black tip) is designed to defeat light armored ground vehicles. And from having used both in real world applications the black tip punches through more.

[@Fadaar]

@@bradleydysinger6906 Figured as much. Never looked up how the 50 APs were constructed but I have a bit of the 5.56 (A1's) so figured the 50 black tip was either built like those or the 995's with the tungsten pen.

Always been a big fan of ceramic armor. To be perfectly honest I'm glad I didn't get hooked on AR500 a few years ago when that was the rage online. Just an anecdote, but certain aspects came to mind after hearing your analysis. Not at all claiming to have any vast wealth of knowledge, but I have been able to confirm for my own interests, that composite ceramic armor does degrade somewhat past a number of years. I've heard more or less the same from others about that as well. I still don't prefer to rock steel plates, but I also can't say I enjoy replacing plates every 5-6 years, even if it's for the sake of proper safety. I know you folks have a proper filming schedule and plenty of content to make still, but would love to see high-speed shooting some level 4 plates that are a couple years past the marked 'shelf-life' date. Oh, and want to say I'm so relieved that Adam is still with us! It really would have been a tragic loss for the entire firearm enthusiast community, but you guys have shown you can't be beat now, which is pretty kick-ass.

Interesting to see that the 8mm Mauser projectile was not stabilized properly. The nose up position of the the bullet is clearly noticeable compared to the others. Either because of wear in the barrel or the twist rate was not sufficient to achieve spin stability on this particular bullet. If you've got a gun that isn't performing well and you're seeing oblong, non circular holes in your paper target this is likely what is happening.

M855A1 has a lengthened double arrowhead shaped steel penetrator vs M855. Copper behind that instead of lead. Copper is less dense, so the projectile is lengthened to like .993 inches or whatever, basically an inch long vs .907 inches long or whatever for the M855 with the little bitty steel penetrator tip (just the tip). Ball (spherical or flattened spherical) propellant has been changed to increase the chamber pressure in order to increase muzzle velocity and thus energy of M4 carbines by a fair bit. Lots of other salient details but this is a start.
