all right guys it is time for another episode of "Dustin Got Curious" We've shot through
trees a good bit we've tested penetration of different types of ammo we've tested uh
shooting trees until they fall down but today we're gonna see how deep a 50 BMG will go
into a log we have four special rounds today and that's what we're gonna use but I'll show
you what's going on downrange first so we have this log that we shot a cut down the
other day and I'm I'm coming by and I'm like oh man I want to shoot into it this way because
we always shoot into them this way but I'm like we're going to get different results
if we shoot its long ways some of you arborist guys can disagree or tell me what's up in
the comments but I think with the wood grain we're going to get more penetration and see
some cool stuff then also what we did is we pre-cut it we put it into slices already because
I didn't want to hit a bullet with a chainsaw it's like let's just take it back apart again
and I doubt those little slices will matter much when they're all kind of seamed together
with the screws like I said there so all there is to it let's shut up and shoot thanks for
stopping by for today's video guys and make sure that you check out our sponsor as well
gunspot.com it's just say a pro 2A listing and auction website and unlike other unnamed
auction websites gun broker you're never going to pay out of state sales tax and the fees
are very low there's no hidden buyers fees and there is a very low seller fee like one
percent or something and there's a pro to a Blog and news and just all types of community
things going on as well so check them out gunspot.com now let's get on with the video
so hopefully it doesn't break up and we can just shoot it all four times and then take
it apart our first flavor is gonna be your normal Surplus FMJ but the fmjs that we've
seen before actually have a steel core and before some of you video Gamers come out saying
take off your suppressor because that reduces your damage and your distance this is real
life and the suppressor actually makes it a little just a little bit more powerful because
it makes it faster and it definitely increases recoil unless you're about to see it's brutal
I'm going to take like right quadrant
[Applause] this one's new I've never shot around yet which is why we always take precautions
in case we all go Kentucky ballistics this is better this is the Dark Angel Medical Kit
yeah that's better than a thumb this is the m263 from American Marksman and it is armor
piercing without the incendiary yes we all know the incendiary but fire hazard's no good
out here so it's got a steel core just a chemical filler foreign
that seemed louder for some reason let me see if I ever hit I see a little spot I don't
know if this cough Jager uh tripod's rated for a 50 but we're sure trying it out today
so now we have this Triple R Munitions from Detroit ammunition uh solid brass I didn't
say copper it's solid brass we shot him through a tree they do great honestly I think this
one's gonna have the most distance because it's just solid [Applause] foreign
this is another neat one from American Marksman it's a 10 22 that's the designation like m263
this is the m1022 you don't see these much it's not made for anti-material it's actually
for sniping it is made uh without a steel core so it's solid as zinc or something I
believe it's got a neat color because of the finishing it's made for accuracy and uh and
just as a long range Precision round the military used all right we're going to go top quadrant
with this and then we get to take our log apart foreign [Applause]
is very strong that's it let's let's take that thing apart and figure it out I don't
think our downrange cameras caught anything worth noting because it just the bullet went
into tree that's all there is to it okay this is my screw don't mistake that for anything
uh oh we might have chunked out one of them here so one of them and we'll see that on
camera so you all know that early if it chunked out and went into the berm it looks like a
22 caliber hole there is nothing is special about that at all Okay cookie number one what's
happened before go check out those other videos the copper and Lead will Shear off the bullet
leaving just the core to penetrate it's a smaller hole with the the AP it may have penetrated
so our Full Metal Jacket made a nice big chunk here uh this is our 1022 it went on and then
the brass teeny tiny hole here so this is Cookie number two so this is about 14 inches
in and you can see penetration on all three all four so this is interesting the 1022 has
kind of a blackish uh the it's like you see that black oxide color in uh in our AP it's
just still traveled the brass kept going and then our full metal jacket's starting to deviate
and I think we lost it because it went out here and off into the berm cookie number four
we lost our Full Metal Jacket looks like our 1022 started to Tumble in and check this out
oh sweet it's backwards just like we've seen before I think that's our 10 22 completely
backwards back up one cookie we're gonna see what I think that's just wood but there's
only one way to find out
sweet okay there's our Channel look at that so we have a good core fragment so that's
our 1022 rear end and that was three cookies deep so you're talking 20-ish inches that's
cool so it totally broke apart there we go
there's our Full Metal Jacket tiny piece of jacket so the rest of the core we may have
lost but that's kind of nifty damage or damage you can see how it deviated so it started
going diagonal here and here's the other side of it that broke I just think it's safe to
say it went into the fourth the fifth I mean because this is the fourth it spun around
remember this is the target face that is cool we've seen that before though people didn't
believe me but I was like nope they spin around yes in a tree it is spinning around here
oh that is oh that is cool now I regret prying on it and getting tool marks on it that is
awesome that's got to be the American Marksman you know you never think the inside of it
was that just different shape that looks awesome how cool is that but of course it shed every
bit of jacket and lid so that's what we've seen before so we are about 30 inches in now
because this is our fifth slice and it was backwards mine that it was backwards let's
find the other hole so a good 36 inches in
now that's a still penetrator core right there and it's backwards as well it completely flipped
around in the dirt because this is the entry hole we didn't know what was beyond it and
then we have that right there foreign
oh that's cool our FMJ went to the side we didn't recover our brass bullet yet we may
have to keep searching this could be the zinc 1022 with and then this is the steel core
out of the penetrator because that is definitely hardened steel right there and this is really
light almost like it's aluminum so that could be that route so we need to backtrack and
see where the our copper went wherever there was a hole in one side and not the other we
split another log oh that's cool that's cool so this is either the FMJ or the American
Marksman this I can tell this is actually the the armor piercing by American Marksman
because it has the pull the tooling pool lines on it and so we have our full jacket that's
pretty nifty
I don't know where the brass went so we found all these cool cores just not the brass one
and the brass one I mean it'll be whole but we put it back together we're going to shoot
it again with the brass so we can find it foreign wait a minute I think I saw the dirt
burn move that would be that would be insane we went through the whole log do I put it
right there this time
and I marked everything else while we took it apart last time so there it is that's number
one there it is right there and I'm number two I think I hit my screw look it broke it
it broke the screw so we have mangled screw oh there it is look at that break up a little
bit probably because it hit those stupid screws but we found it several logs deep that's uh
I think it was five logs deep so you're talking 30-ish inches to get that one but it's pretty
solid so thanks for stopping by today guys as we were checking out what 50 cal will do
to a log you want to see something else leave it in the comments as we continue our Top
Shot Tree Service okay I love you bye foreign
[Music]
[Music] foreign did you see that I came in like a wrecking ball
oh perfect yeah
