    50 Cal Explosive Bullets vs Torso. What would happen if we fired 50 Cal Explosive Bullets into a torso, or in this case a ballistic dummy labs expertly crafted torso? These are questions that have plagued us for a long time but Dr. Garand Thumb (Garand DUMB) is here to answer the questions you never asked. Utilizing ball, spotter-tracer and RAUFOSS we are here to increase you knowledge. Enjoy.

    Saw an interview with an Army sniper talking about his work in Iraq and specifically about the effectiveness of the M107. He said he and his spotter had set up on a rooftop covering a residential area known to be harboring insurgents. He told the story of a long night taking targets of opportunity until they started taking fire from another rooftop. The shooter was taking cover behind a block wall and popping out to harass the sniper team. The team was out of standard ball ammo for the .50 so he loaded up with the only ammo he had, the raufoss and they waited. Eventually the insurgent took a shot and ducked behind the block wall. The sniper aimed at where he guessed he would be crouching behind the wall and sent a raufoss round. He said the round made a nice clean hole in the front of the wall, but the other side of the patio 10 feet away was splashed with gore. When they eventually made their way over to confirm the kill, the body was gone, but the back of the block was just obliterated with a large area missing and blood spray everywhere. He figured the round had detonated inside the block and turned the brick and concrete into a huge shotgun shell and shredded the insurgent.

    I have used your “spicy candy corn” rounds in the Army. The way the real military ones work is a bit different, more like a fire piston, where deformation of the round creates extreme temperatures and shock. I didn’t think they would work on the dummy at all. Apparently the spine or rib was enough.

      @I-AM-EL-ZOZO Před 2 lety +5

      I'm not in the military yet I slightly understand how their explosive rounds work compared to ours. See we make explosive for the military for the single purpose of destroying tanks (exactly like the tank gewher, meant to disable tanks armor, weak points, not completely destroy the tank) for armor it's meant to destroy the armor the impact will obviously still delete the persons life, citizen explosives would primarily be for pretty nice looking impacts, meant for fun, like the fourth of July. War isn't fun, the explosives they use aren't Hollywood fireballs of make believe, they're extremely dangerous and have many different roles in the military, for example, an explosive incinerate round would work best for disabling artillery, explosive rounds aren't supposed to be fired at anyone that isn't inside some kind of bunker or a vehicle, it simple has to much power to be used as a conventional sniper, it's more of a multi purpose sniper with multipurpose rounds

    Edit : After giving this some more thought...
    Do a collaboration with 9 Hole Reviews, set up dummies at 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000m, maybe put standard US Body Armor on each ballistic dummy and then see the varying degrees of damage using different ammo...

    It is possible, though not probable, that if our friend there took that .50 round to the tum-tum while he was on the premises of any hospital not located in New Jersey they *may* have been able to stabilize the patient. He’d lose much of his intestines and bowel so I’m not really sure if he’d want to be saved.
    Dude, thanks for this content. Your goofy and fun videos always brighten my day.

    I remember seeing a manual for the M40 recoiless rifle saying not to use the attached spotting rifle against personnel. Apparently it's tempting to shoot individual soldiers when you're looking at them through an optic.

      Primarily anti-tank, but can fire anti-personnel flechette rounds, from what I can find. 105mm flechette sounds fun.

    In any case, the raufoss did what it’s supposed to. A majority of the round is explosive with a much smaller tungsten carbide penetrator behind it. The whole idea is to defeat light armor and then have the penetrator continue through and have effect on target whether it be a person, engine, etc.

    First time I saw the title I thought it said "50 Cal Expensive Bullets vs Torso"...Upon watching said video, I concluded that that was not a typo
