[@ab5olut3zero95]

I’ve been in the Army for 16 years and have heard the ‘just get close’ with a .50cal since I was a cadet, from Vets and senior NCOs. Thanks for puttin that to bed and educating me. Now I need to see it tested with a 120mm sabot.

[@boothead9495]

That’ll probably kill you, maybe

[@navalsealsnipersports1199]

Demolition ranch tested it years ago with a house of cards and it didn’t even generate enough wind to knock that down. Bullets are aerodynamic. The whole goal is disturb the air as little as possible so the air disturbs its path as little as possible. If you had a parachute (somehow) moving that fast, you could probably generate enough concussion to injure somebody. -an engineer that happens to love guns

[@an2939]

I doubt anything will happen, a penetrator is basically a big, supersonic toothpick, the point of having a sabot is that it'll fit a 120mm barrel but you can shoot out a smaller, faster projectile that disturbs less air and fly out further than a full caliber round. It's like pushing the water in a pool with the side of your hand instead of the palm or the back of it. You push less water but you can move your hand through it much faster. That's a part of why modern tanks can fight at a greater distance than their WW2 counterparts.

[@filmandfirearms]

@@an2939 That's true, but it's also worth noting the mass and velocity of that supersonic toothpick. While it might be narrow, something that heavy moving at supersonic speeds is going to cause quite the shockwave. Just how bad that would be, I don't know, but it would definitely be significant

[@gullreefclub]

A neighbor of mine who also got me into shooting as a kid worked a Picatinny Arsenal, Fort Benning, and later Quantico, where his job was evaluating and accurizing various weapons systems. He was as you might imagine a pretty damn good shot. One of his hobbies was buying clapped out old surplus Mauser’s and turn them into tack drivers. Anyhow after he finished the initial build he would tinker with the rifle to achieve its best accuracy and then he would start installing various different muzzle brake designs that he had “dreamed up” and made in his basement workshop. He was a firm believer that a good rifle should be accurate without a muzzle brake/flash suppressor and that the addition of these items to a rife should not negatively impact (change) the rifle’s accuracy but improve it by making the rife more controllable and comfortable to shoot for the shooter. My reason for posting this is in the hopes Brandon might see it and do a video of his AK50 in a lead-sled or similar rifle shooting rest and shoot the AK50 without a muzzle device installed to demonstrate the rifle’s accuracy and shooting characteristics and then repeat the test with various muzzle devices installed from everything from a simple AK style Slant-brake to various other styles of AK muzzle brakes and then onto other styles of muzzle brakes including a scaled up version of a Cutts Compensator, as well as drilling porting holes in the barrel past the gas block, Magna porting of the barrel as well as a combination of porting the barrel and installing a muzzle brake / flash hider.

[@FuzedBox]

Indeed! I think most of the parts could be readily mass produced as they are. From what we've seen, that hand guard is the prohibitive part; Titans of CNC went through an excruciating process just to make that one example. Not sure how that could be simplified... perhaps injection molded polymer with aluminum strips for reinforcement and MLOK slots?

[@FuzedBox]

@@haykmeghavoryan5717 Why should it return to its so-called "roots" when it is a perfectly modern derivative? All modern AK variants from the motherland have stocks and handguards that are predominately made with polymers. Brandon's is in milled aluminum, which is far and away more premium than either option. It's in fact TOO premium for production. Hell, the buttplate is the polar opposite; it's 3D fuckin' printed. Yes, wood would look ICONIC, but the AK"M" is no longer "modern", even from (especially from) its homeland's perspective. Perhaps a production run could be done with carefully sculpted, fit, and finished wood features, but it would be an ultra-premium option with no real benefit aside from pleasing AKM autists. Injection molded polymer with aluminum reinforcement is the most modern and economical solution for the handguard, and the reinforcement would be unnecessary for a simply molded buttplate/stock. Your view of an "AK" is skewed by the traditional image, of which the platform has long since evolved away from, so why should the AK-50 adhere to that? Because you want it to have that iconic '50s look? Oh fuckin' please. Miss me with that shit.

i remember firing the old .50 caliber machine gun mounted on an apc and a tripod. the barrel was oversized and the kick on that thing was something else. on the apc, the whole vehicle would bounce. on a tripod, you had to put sand bags on the feet to hold the tripod down. it had a trigger that you fired with two hands. you couldn't really aim. you just pointed it down range and fired adjusting your aim by following your bullets. that would heat up a barrel red hot. we had to carry extra barrels, because they would melt if you did not change them. the over sized barrel caused the bullet to tumble coming out and tumbling bullets are vicious

Re: the passage of the .50BMG close by one's head causing "massive damage"...in Sep/Oct 1979 during Op Miracle in Mozambique while operating our Eland 90 we were pinned down on a bare rock hilltop by ZANLA forces close by using a Yugo multi-barreled 20mm cannon. The Selous Scout section that was providing close vehicle security for us sprawled prone on the bare rock ground beside our vehicle in an extended line. I watched through my gunners side periscope as the 20mm rounds (some of which were API and some of which were equipped with tracer) passed inches over the Selous Scout soldiers' heads...none of which were lost due to the "deadly shockwave" possessed by the projectiles. 😮

I have seen a .50 cal get really close to a US soldier in Iraq in an AD incident. It passed between his body and arm, amazingly he still has his arm and body. The only thing he got was shrapnel from the bullet hitting the armor plate.

Hello Brandon. I am from russia and i've been following your content here and there for a while. Today i've turned 16, and went to the gun range for the first time. I fired the ak, mosin, beretta and a AR(i couldn't aim those ironsights, im an AK enjoyer). and i must say this: you have had a very big influence on me as a person, for which i'm very thankful. I'm actually planning on becoming a gun designer, because im planning to get into the miltech uni in St. Petersburg.

[@CircaSriYak]

Good luck to you sir

[@urielpuertas9899]

A shame knowing aspiration and love for firearms would probably be used for evil, good luck anyways, lel.

[@gaferbalerk]

Seriously, the retort of this gun is the coolest sound I've ever heard from a firearm. Beautiful work.

[@Nick-rs5if]

14:54 - That is an awesome shot! 😃

[@Nick-rs5if]

I wonder if anyone fell for this. 😅 EDIT: Watch the whole video before reading the comments.

[@SkorpyoTFC]

It's incredible how well balanced the whole base design is that a compensating brake just throws it off.

[@RipeSnipe]

that's what I was thinking it was already perfect, stop trying to help it Brandon! lmao

[@yugij0319]

Yesterday while on break at work, I was watching this video with headphones on, in the employee lounge. And apparently, someone was looking over my shoulder, because not 20 minutes after I clocked back in, someone from HR and a dude from security came over to my work area, and said that they needed to speak to me. Someone reported that I was watching something, "Violent and dangerous.". I was flabbergasted. People are crazy, man.

[@atfsux]

Ok,...so we need to see the AK50 compete against the Barrett M-107 and the Serbu BFG50A and the GM6 Lynx. Maybe even a Pauza if you can locate one? Would also be cool to see Brandon and Mark Serbu nerd out together in the machine shop over the AK50's development and the BFG50A as well, comparing notes. In the competition video, you could have the shooters/competitors partaking in stages meant to test the strengths/weaknesses between the different models. Obviously one would be an accuracy portion;...say, best groups at 1000 meters. Another would be a speed course, to see which rifle had better follow-up shot capability;...say, moving IPSC targets at 200 or 300 meters. And then the final stage could be a sort of Ranger assault course, testing how fatiguing humping each model is vs. the others as shooters/competitors have to get to distant shooting positions and engage targets for both time and accuracy,...perhaps even on movers,...maybe even doing a small house-clearing stage. Heck,...get Gun Jesus involved and make it a special "BMG Brutality" match. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha,...I'm so evil.

[@alexb7641]

I’d also like to see a price tag comparison lol

9:00 Hey Brandon, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the demonstration. I had to put down this myth myself IRL when we were discussing a Wargame of all things, and I am sending your video to my friends so they can see for themselves. THANK YOU!

[@Lcpl_Spartan]

so satisfying seeing your lives work coming together like this. well done Brandon, we're all so proud of you. also, a new series of "Feeding thing's to AK50" would be so good.

[@DrakeKillah]

I wish I could telepathically show you how proud I am of how far you've gone. Most people who start a project like this, never finish. At best, they post a video about why they *didn't* push on. I have to be honest; that's what I was expecting when you first started this project - a respectable failure. But *damn* do you over-deliver. Not only did you finish the 50, but you've also made some of the most *fire* videos on this entire platform in both entertainment and education, you stepped up and fought the bullshit politicans with an end result that should not be possible, you've been transparent and steady on updates and regular uploads, and you're a damn good role-model. *Thank you.* All that's left to ask is; what's next? AK-20? AK-40mikemike? Presidency? Regardless of what's next, we can all rest assured; we'll be blown away by the result.

[@bushwacker2048]

I can't explain how impressed I am. That is legit the most sick 50bmg platform there is in existence. It's so clean, it's so cool. The OAL, the fluted barrel, I love it all. The one weird thing is how slow it appears to cycle, I wonder how it compares to the Barrett. But that doesn't detract from it at all, it's just something I noticed. The coolest thing you can do with the AK50 is start producing them and put it on the market. I'd need someone to stop me from selling my car to buy one

[@BeardForge]

Insane how when Brandon pulled the gun apart after it exploded, it sounded like the classic Lego crumble sounds. 12:19

[@gonzomock9979]

Firing an O-Light led flashlight, on, at dusk, from the AK50 would be pretty cool. Maybe with a discarding sabot, with some 12ga gas seals to take some of the g-shock.

[@Paranormalmonsterhunter]

Hey to the AKguy I'm a former British soldier and have shot the barret 50 many times but I have to say if this AK50 was around when I served oh how much nicer I think it would have been to slot some fools with it anyways I know ya probably won't actually read this but more power to ya the world needs people like you to innovate better tech love the vids been subscribed for years keep them coming

[@markmanwaring3823]

Brandon , as a young man like yourself I tried many interesting theories / myths etc just to see for myself ' what if I '.....and one fun thing I noticed was when firing a solid .22 bullet into a decent block of beeswax , i could make the projectile climb the rifling grooves in the pill as it gouges the wax and actually curve out of the wax to hit a target off to the side , quite predictably after some practice lol , I wonder if that beautiful . 50 would do same in a big enough block of beeswax ??
