shhhhh.. be berry berry quiet, we are hunting squirrel
all right guys Dustin here and today we're going to be testing the ballistics of a 50
cal 50 BMG against a squirrel now the squirrels aren't here yet but they're everywhere here so
I figure why not so what we're going to do we made this little picnic table so he just feels
right at home and we're going to bait him in with a little bit of corn and when he comes up for his
dinner we're gonna see what a 50 BMG does to a squirrel now this is a special one this is that
1022 round from American Marksman they're kind of rare but they're accurate and they're not the
normal Full Metal Jacket still core it was made for a sniping anti Personnel not anti-material
so this is the Barrett m99 we got a night for scope and a Mojave Innovative arm suppressor
make sure you check out our sponsor arms list Armslist is like the cool Craigslist where you can
buy and sell trade all the pew pew things right and not only is it in your area it's Nationwide
over 1600 ffls have their inventory listed there so if you find something you want you can have
it shipped to your FFL so make sure you check them out Armslist now let's shut up and shoot
a few moments later
so since the squirrels do not want to work with us today we have a backup plan clear ballistics now
has that's for all day long I've been calling it a rabbit though look at that look at that
I don't know why I'm whispering that guy's not going anywhere um here we're gonna go Center Mass
scope hits me no matter how hard I try to lean in
let's see is that it doesn't matter how big the round is what matters is the makeup of
the bullet so this probably doesn't look any more impressive on this squirrel than a 22 wood
uh yes it's got It's got a little more and I'm not saying I'd rather be shot by a 50 over 22.
but the energy transfer is not there the energy transfers all in the berm that dug
that big hole in through dirt everywhere so you know varmint bullets for varmints
so let's pull some varmint bullets out so we can get we have some 55 grain varmint
Express this is what's made to transfer the most energy we'll see oh that sounded awesome [Music]
you could hear a definite thumb let's go see what what happened there wow I put it close enough oh
that's so cool though okay it did exit
he's the different squirrel but look uh 50 cows on top just the whole through then we
just completely exploded that round you see little lead fragments everywhere there's tiny
little fragments going all through it it looks like the main core went through you can see the
polymer tip inside that definitely killed the squirrel more than that uh 50 cal did
[Music]
cool stuff makes it interesting we didn't miss out too much by
not getting a real scroll here today because now we get to see the inside
and not get flagged by YouTube but thanks for watching today guys okay bye foreign
did you see that I came in like a wrecking ball
oh perfect
