Kentucky Ballistics neck must be driving him crazy right now
It's only a 308 slap round. Not even remotely as interesting as his 50cal.
The black ceramic is Boron carbide, its darker than the cheap aluminium oxide used in most other plates.
This is correct.
We need Going Ballistic and Ballistic High Speed to collaborate on some of these sabot rounds.
Some day
Those appear to have been XSAPI plates. They were rated for greater AP threats then the regular issued ESAPI. Only produced in limited numbers making them extremely desirable. So much for those 2 lol.
That sucks
I still have the front and back.. never had much use for side plates. There are better options (now) considering how heavy those were.
There could be differences in velocities because of barrel length. When I worked security on yachts, we needed a minimum 24" barrel length and a maximum of 32". When I was engaged in situation, the enemy was using a Chinese cloned Dragonuv and even though they were using 7.62x54R steel core and we think some spotters rounds, they couldn't pierce the fairing amd the 12mm steel of the hull nor the windows we had which were 1 inch thick. They didn't look very good but they held. Better than the guy shooting at us. 4 guns using DD Mk18 and 'copies' of the SR-25 with a 28" barrel, somebody got him and we were using Remington 172 gr FMJ boattail and 168 gr round nose. We easily pierced their aluminum hulll from 450 yards away.
It would be interesting to see what a sabot 308 loaded onto a 338 Lapua case could do.
If it wasn't solid copper it'd probably disintegrate
I could feel the tension through the internet when Justin smacked that mag on the ground!! lol
do NOT magazine feed SABOT type rounds. Carefully put into chamber and release the bolt. The SABOT projectile can become dislodged during feeding and result in a barrel obstruction, then your face gets blown off.
You're only speculating. Site specific examples of that exact event that you saw with your own eyes.
@@cruejones742 he can't. His eyes got blowed off
These can and have been fired out of the M110 and the Mk-39 EBR
Just my experience from being in the Marine Corps and now retired
@@MountaintravelerEddie Thank you for your service.
Удачи, парни. Смотрю вас, учу английский по вашим видео. Хорошо поставленная речь, почти ничего не понимал, сейчас прогресс на лицо.
Are you trying to learn english just for fun or are you planning on coming here?
Some of the XSAPI and ESAPI plates have a crack arrestor in them that’s usually a thin piece of “sheet metal”
Those look like XSAPI and have Silicon Cardbide for strike faces. Very good at tungsten.
The M993 performed better because of the mass of the penetrator. Even though the speed is there the ceramic eats up the smaller core.
Thanks for chiming in
I see you took tiborasurus rex's advice and removed the muzzle device.
Никогда не надоест смотреть как эти чуваки всякую хрень расстреливают!
Thanks
Ahh yes, metal side plates, so now I can have broken ribs for dinner with spall in my armpits for dessert
Yeah never go metal plates
metal plates kill
Better than last night's dinner being blown out I guess
Awesome video 👍
Thank you 👍
The real advantage to those sabot rounds is that the bullet can't be traced back to the rifle as it does not come into contact with the lands and grooves.
The M995 was keyholing. I suspect something wrong with them - reloads?
Glad you're back brothers!
Hey guys, glad to see you back. It's awesome to see more slap round content. I'd love to see if a 50.cal slap could make it through the Squire Stronghold SS100CS padlock... That things a beast, I've seen it take multiple normal and AP 50.cal but I've never seen anyone try a slap on it. I think they're quite expensive though.
I'm glad you guys are back making videos !
Us too!
Slo-mo music is back, and Justin's war on magazines continues. Life is good.
Don’t try cutting them on your bandsaw. The ceramic will just destroy your blade.
I can appreciate Justin’s attempt to humor 😂
Senior moments are now being referred to as pulling a biden .
I genuinely think that's giving him too much credit.
😂
Come on man! Do some push-ups Jack!
Imagine being a ballistics channel and not knowing how body armor works.
The real Bidenomics
Glad to have yall back uploading videos.
Nicely done. Great as always
😂😂 love you guys. Always awesome videos. I'm highly surprised and disappointed you don't have a million subscribers. Very well deserve it and can do it. 💪💪💪
Wicked video. Highly prudent.
Yes guys! You should do camo lab coats! You know, for science lol 😂
Penetration is a combination of core construction, velocity, projectile mass and penetrator length. The M993 is rated to penetrate 15mm of RHA and the M995 is rated at 12mm of RHA. M948 7.62 x 51 SLAP rounds were discontinued for a reason, ie they were blowing up and destroying barrels in the M60 machinegun and personally I don't trust them not to damage the rifle or injure the operator. Count yourselves very lucky.
Just a little heads up with regards to saboted rounds!
Years ago (mid 80's- early 90's) I ran across several sources for (NWM) 5.56 'W' rounds as well as SLAP rounds that I should have gotten more a handful of... except for the fact that the initial tests were somewhat disappointing when reloaded into .300 Win. magnum and .30/378 Weatherby cases... utilizing the original 7.62 SLAP sabots. The rounds were shot into Cold Rolled Mild Steel and various stainless steels (AR 500/550, et al., was not readily available as is the case these days, unfortunately). Later tests in the early 90's... utilized monolithic brass sleeved sabots around the tungsten cored 5.56 projectiles loaded into what amounted to today's Chey-tach case necked to .30 caliber. Barrel lengths were 36". Those Tungsten 5.56 brass sleeved rounds performed exceptionally well at a little over 6,000 fps... bulging the back 2.5" cold rolled steel plate.
When working with sabots, other than the original SLAP rounds, I would not trust any other plastic sabot that was from any unknown source short of top level government or major manufacturer.
Also, even when reloading the original SLAP rounds... it's extremely important to know how they were obtained or pulled from loaded ammunition in order to avoid possible damage to the projectiles when die or kinetic approaches are used (i.e.- usually sacrificing the case via tubing cutter, was the safest bet). Lastly, the choice of propellent should be undertaken by only the most experienced reloaders with extensive experience with the cartridge cases and propellent burn rate and relevant P/T curve data (which can sometimes be acquired from the various labs),if possible. Always keeping in mind the importance of keeping your powder dry.
Wow. 6000fps!! Any websites with data on that. Ballistics changes around that speed.
Back in the day Remington made a sabo 30-06 round but the best I could get was a 6-in group at 100 yd, and that was one of the better groups
Wow. They reinvented the .22-250. Only they made it more complicated to load.
You're awesome guys! As always, a great video! Keep it going! 😎
Thank you! Will do!
You guys are awesome. 😊
I'm just here for the traditional mag toss!!
ROFLMBBAO!!
the mag swipes off the table awesome!
Some people got SO mad lol
@@GoingBallistic If they aren't SLAP rounds, then they are definitely SLAP mags! Awesome Justin. Great vid and great to see you're back at it! Thanks for posting...
Cool stuff
Those SAPI plates actually seem to be pretty decent
Ooh my goodness what a power, I love it.
i think that would be a good t-shirt idea guys, '' lets punch some holes'' and have a image of a gun on the shirt. :)
love the deal with the mag lmao
GB. Another good and interesting video. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks 👍
Good video 👍🏻
High sectional density is important for penetration. Think of a sheet of paper; No matter how fast its going, theres nothing behind it to force the contact point through the target
Regarding the SLAP rounds and their apparent inaccuracies.
Two things come to mind.
1. How well does the sabot engage the rifling?
2. How securely is the projectile held by the sabot?
If either is substandard then projectile spin will be garbage.
He Hates those Magazines !!!
Those slap rounds mean serious business no joke!
Not gonna do it, would be prudent for this.. juncture. 🤣 Been a while since I was remimded of Dana Carvy doing Bush Sr.
Im guessing Boron Carbide
One thing I have tried to get people to test is the plastic shopping bags. I bought a case of them, but now do not have a place to test them, even tho a friend does, but would not be as professional as what you do.
I basically wanted to know if 1-2 inches of 'new' shopping bags would stop handgun rounds, or how many inches it would take. I am thinking it would make expedient body armor if it would stop pistol rounds, or at least slow them down enough to save your life.
So if we are to believe the experiments, the M993 performed better than the saboted M995. Looks like the saboting of the 5.56 round is counterproductive. Just use the correct caliber for the gun, 308?
You guys don't deserve to be at 200k subscribers, you DESERVE to be at 2 million subscribers
I love you man 🥲
@GoingBallistic right back at ya!! Keep up the great vids!!
Спасибо за видео, интересно )
I'm appalled by how little subs you guys have. Your videos are fantastic, and I always watch from beginning to end. I wish yall the best
Thanks so much. Some day we might make it to 200k lol
I have some Winchester ballistic tip 55 grain loaded up in .243 , I clocked them at 3993 fps out of my rem700 spsv. I wonder if they go through armor.
I liked this fight between plates and rounds
Speed is the winner. Crap guess I am buying that 6.5 by 300 Weatherby. 4200 fps with the right bullet. 😂
Justin please stop dropping the mags in the dirt😂
I subscribed just because of the 7.62X51 SLAP content.
For the Algorithm, and because y’all are awesome. 👍🏻
The slaps are back! Oh how I've missed their 4k feet per second destruction!
They are ceramic body armour and made out of silicon carbide. Others are made out of alumina, or boron carbide, or titanium diboride
Can you suggest a great helmet please, I just watched the hike Pro helmet you tested that was supposed to be lvl 4 but couldn't take a 9mil. Also should I get the gel armour for behind my plate armour, is it worth it.
Military Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) plates are primarily made from ceramic materials, specifically boron carbide or silicon carbide. These materials are chosen for their high hardness and ability to stop high-velocity rifle rounds, such as the 7.62x51mm NATO M80 ball.
The Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert (ESAPI) plates, which are an upgraded version, are typically made from boron carbide and offer even greater protection, capable of stopping armor-piercing rounds like the .30-06 M2AP.
I believe the stuff in the sapper plate is boron carbide
Why yes, the SAPI plate is an aluminum canister filled with Boron Carbide particles, either sintered or in a polymer binder,of scientifically calculated size. The purpose is to abrade the bullet to nothingness before it goes through. By the way, getting the powder on your hands will affect the size of your manhood.
Glad you guys are getting out and having fun!!! I don’t know why but I found myself curious about how you guys met and how long yall have been friends. What is the origin story of Going Ballistic?
Justin has a fab shop. I think Chris worked there at one time. I may be completely wrong, but MOAB Mfg is a real thing.
@@joshuagibson2520that sounds familiar. You triggered a vague memory but I couldn’t remember where I put my phone and it is in my hand so…..
Them SLAPs are fckn amazing! I would sure like to find some of them. What barrel length on yall's .308?
16
Punching holes and kicking mags! 👍
Very impressive rounds . Should've had something like ballistic gelatin or meat behind the armor plate put between the setup, soft fleshlike material added behind the armor would've changed the total blackface deformation and results would've been different.
The ceramic in the SAPI plates is aluminium oxide, should be fairly safe to touch.
Thank you!
This is incorrect. XSAPI use boron carbide. That's why it is dark gray, not almost white.
This is incorrect. XSAPI use boron carbide which is why the powder is dark gray. Aluminum oxide is basically white.
the M995 carries 3584 joules and the m993 about 7719 joules. So the M993 has still more than double the kinetic energy
Scott from Kentucky Ballistics neck is itchy when y'all made this videa
Sabo into 54r? Be cool to see.
The first sabot round that went 3460 fps could have picked up the plastic sabot instead of the actual bullet. Not sure but is a possibility
I think you need 1 million subscribers keep your nose to the fire
Garmin chrono ftw
I just want to see the pro chrono analog model. 😂😂😂😂
Are the SLAP rounds not compatible with a muzzle break? I've heard conflicting things about it.
Same here so we just took it off just to be safe
@@GoingBallistic yeah better to play it safe.
I'd like to see a collab with you guys and Ballistic High Speed.
and kentucky lol
We’re trying
👍👍👍
Your sabots look brand new and not the reddish orange I’m used to. Did you reload them? If so, where did you get the new sabots for the SLAPS?
A friend loaded them for us. Not sure where he got them.
@@GoingBallistic Thanks for replying! At lest I know they make them now!
Try dagny dagger 3d printed ap atlas arms
Is this a reuploaded video? swear I watched this already or am I experiencing deja vu🤣
Where and how do get this ammunition for testing?
A friend made it for us
I Like when you do the comparisons .. dont get
Fancy just keep it simple
Why not do same round in different materials
Like that young dude
From banana balistic
Get your own Barrier
And do them over and over
You guys got them crazy

Hot dog! 2 videos in a week.
That mag deal is 😬 but he has plenty there disposable , one use .
Level 4 is ceramic core.
Some sort of carbide or ceramic...
Hi From Denmark...
Ahoy good sir from the shores of Lake Erie USA.
Hello
I know they are expensive but with how much you shoot crazy ammo you need a new Chrono that is more reliable like the Garmin or Caldwell Velociraptor
pull a vacuum round something that's already fast ( 32gr .204 ruger ) see if you can punch through a vest .
What kind of SAPI is that? X-SAPE, E-SAPI or the OG SAPI? Edit: It's XSBI, so it should be X-SAPI protection side plate
The 995 didn't look as stable as the 993 the first shot with the 995 looked like it key holed a little. Speed kills soft armor weight kills ceramic and steel armor.
Here's your answer as to why the lighter but slightly faster didn't penetrante: because it was lacking speed.
If an object of mass, m, has a single resultant force F applied to it, it will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force. If it has an initial velocity u, and it accelerates, at a constant rate a, to a velocity v, in t seconds, then, by Newton’s Second Law, F = ma. But since a = (v-u)/t, F = m (v - u)/t or F = (mv - mu)/t.
This is saying that the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum, where momentum = mass x velocity. This is in fact how Newton first expressed this relation.
If you rearrange the equation, by multiplying each side by t, then you get
F x t = mv - mu
F x t is called the ‘Impulse’ applied by the force, and this equation is giving the useful result that, Impulse = the change in momentum. If F isn’t constant, then it needs to be integrated with respect to time, to give the Impulse applied.
I've been loading these in a 22 creedmoor. You can get just the projectiles off gunbroker.
The tungsten cores?
@Chabrinklo6.5 No. I misheard. I bought the m855a1 projectiles, not the m995 projectiles. My bad.
@@thelittledetailscr7231 Okay, that makes more sense lol. I was worried for the well being of your barrel
Remington used to put out something similar years back Called the accelerator...
i have a box of the 30-30 accelarators havent briught myself to use this last one😬
Yes but no AP
Also had a case called the 22-250, ate bores with erosion, but got that 4000 fps out the muzzle
308 is king all around great round
