this video we're going to talk about military snipers shooting through
shooting into vehicles I go through the windshields we're going to shoot through
the side windows we're going to shoot through the we're going to shoot through
the doors now there are lots of different sniper rounds both in three
three eight three three eight Lapua four we call barrier penetration rounds
they're built specifically for going through barriers and mediums such as
safety glass ballistic glass but for these tests we're going to use your
standard one one 8lr which is the one hundred and seventy-five grain sierra
matchking standard military bullet for us and a lot of NATO snipers so it's
good round it's available to pretty well everyone on the planet now as far as
what we're going to shoot it out of this is the Nemesis arms Valkyrie you change
barrels on this thing breaks down in or a short little backpack but it's sexy
little gun standard 308 and you see our target right here we're going to
actually shoot through this windshield and the point of aim is going to be
right at the bridge of the nose right below the sunglasses what we're aiming
at is that zero reflex t-box where you've got to go through the either the
ocular cavities or through the nasal cavity in order to get to that
brain stem so we're going to first shots going to be in you notice we're not
shooting down into this we're not trying to make it perpendicular coming in at
the normal angle and you can see this laminated windshield you know it's going
to have it's going to have the effect on the bullet that it's going to have
alright we're going to pop this thing real quick take a look alright so sniper
punch the windshield one-way 8lr standard round no specialty
penetrating ammo from looking through the lens the shot broke right on the
right on the bridge of the guy's nose right so as you can see this is a clean
shot right here I'm gonna pull the target out
all right what we've got is this is where the round penetrated it runs all
the way through now you get lots of other little pieces of small around the
side but these are these are that chunks of the windshield and chunks of the
copper jacket that actually get pulled off of the round now the leadcore itself
though it flies clean so all these studies done on everything that you see
in Hollywood have you've got to know the angle of the class our personal
experience shooting through glass it doesn't matter the angle but you can't
get a much steeper windshield than that hold true shoot your target clean you've
got enough other things to worry about like wind speeds shoot clean and
standard one-one eight LR is going to reduce that target all right now let's
take a look at we'll do this side glass and then we'll shoot through the car
door so again this is standard one one eight LR shot through the side safety
glass and you see clean shot bring it outside so you can see it a little
better I don't know if the sniper called nine o'clock or not it's just off the
bridge of the nose I can live with that the point though is you notice we didn't
even get glass shards on this one passed clean through the side safety glass
because it's not laminated like the windshield is alright but you don't have
to hold you don't have to spend the money on the extra barrier of
penetrating rounds to shoot through to through glass shoot through car doors
are you going to get the same effect one one 8LR is the standard NATO sniper
round it's a great round for shooting into vehicles all right that's a great
shot right there I know let's say the guys got the door open and he's
squatting down he's hiding in the vehicle and let's see what it does going
through the car door
all right so our sniper was shooting a hypothetical situation let's say where
the adversary was ducked down inside the vehicle you could just make out the top
of the guy's hoodie would you wait for that head to pop up that's the cool
thing about one way near that law you don't have to this is a thin-skinned
vehicle sniper shot you see where it hit right here what he did is he shot this
target four times or three times already he knows where where to go so the sniper
could see where the top of the hoodie on the target was so he shot you see where
he hit right here clean shot right through I'm gonna pull
the target out all right what you've got is a clean shot you can see where the
bullet started to tumble right pass right through the bridge of the nose
notice your long gated hole right no slivers though nothing there's a couple
little flakes of copper and steel probably from parts of the jacket coming
off or skins from the skin from the vehicle but other than that it retained
its weight retained its mass plenty of velocity go through I'm sure if I check
the other door we've got a hole over there also this is a real thin-skinned
vehicle gents bottom line the whole point of this video is don't get sucked
into that you need all these specialty rounds you start carrying extra stuff
you've got to have extra data for that pick the best round that works for you
or like if you're in the US military and you're stuck with that one single round
in your inventory one one 8LR are certain units have access to other stuff
I understand that but for the majority of our snipers they're running the 175
grains here a match King it is a great great round and it is more than capable
of penetrating any surface on this vehicle shy of the engine block if you
have any questions or comments on this video or ideas for future videos
