      This ammo has quite a mark up on it you would be at $5/ rnd for m993/ap8 and m995/ap3 for test quantity from the manufacturer. You need a longer barrel and longer range to compare the swiss p wcap as this is carries it's energy better than m993 or slap.
      There are equivalent rounds with some variations for eastern block ammo. And other material types.
      You would also find some interesting results if you separate the plates or add a separate cover plate.
      If you put m193 up against 1/4" plate then its likely to plug but the m855 will be stopped.

      They are specialized rounds and should never be shot through a muzzle brake. A flash hider is ok as the slots are longitudinal. The ports of a brake are vertical and can intercept the Sabot. Not good for the follow up shot. Mark Serbu will attest to that. 50 cal in the face. 0.50 Cal SLAP through a MB. Second round bad. He is well, and advised. Praise God.

      As an avid reloader, I can tell you if money savings is your reason, the cost will pretty much be the same, maybe less and could be even more. It all depends on your components you use. And thats the advantage to reloading. You get to choose your components. Just to give you an example. 9mm is cheaper to buy than it is to reload. Dont know how they do, but you can buy 1000 rnds of 9mm for about 230. Just the primers will cost you now anywhere from 110 to 150, the bullets will cost you around 100 for cheap bullets and the powder would be around 15. So add that up an for a 1000 rnds, with free brass taken from the range. You will spend probably at least 250. The bullets I buy for the range are about 11 cents each, but you can spend 30 to 50 cents each for better bullets..The advantage is I get to choose my load, my bullet and powder. I wouldnt trade my ammo for store bought because I know whats in it.

      I picked up a new 38" Israeli .50 Bmg barrel years ago, that looked like a slightly overgrown 36" Aircraft barrel. I have had quite a number of .50 Bmg barrels, with
      numerous ones running in the 40" - 60" range... and none of them could come close to equaling what the 38" IMI barrel could achieve ballistically. With top loads with 700 and 750 gr. projectile weights... it could routinely reach the high 17,000 ft. lbs. of energy range and with the right projectile (750 grain PPI-AP) it could top out at 19,000 ft.lbs., of energy!

      The 750 grain AP's were running 3,275+ with a full case of US -869 and the 703-708 grain AP's were running in the low 3,400 - 3,425 fps range with a full case of H-870. The pressures were too high for a normal (bolt or falling block)
      action but in this barrel those energies were achieved with only a very few occasions where slight primer leakage occurred and there were no blown primers. The PPI- AP projectiles were exceptional in this regard and in this barrel there were no indications of over pressure at full case capacity! It is important to note that this was a one of a kind barrel in terms of achievable muzzle energies and the loads noted where obtained after a significant level of throat erosion had occurred which would have mitigated the pressure levels reached. The action used utilized a threaded bolt with 2-3 times the barrel shank engagement of a standard barrel
      and the materials that were used had a much higher than normal ductile tensile range which may have undergone some level of work hardening...
      By the way...in order to find the muzzle velocities of a projectile of known weight...you can always multiply the energy by 450240 and then divide by the projectile weight and then take the square root of the result...which you may have already known.

    You want SLAP rounds cheap? EABCO polymer accelerator. You’ll need the reloading adapters, but you could make seriously fast rounds out of any .30 round. 30-06 does a serious number on level 4.

    • @nightravengm
      @nightravengm หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      depends if you want your video to be monetized or not. youtube HATES API rounds, (more so the incendiary part). the bigger gun youtubers like DemoRanch, KentuckyBallistics etc.. show the impacts, but again its mostly to do with youtube monetization. I also realized that these bigger gun TH-camrs can actually "afford" to show off these impacts as they are relatively more well off than BB.

    Commentators below pointed out that the main problem with Tungsten is that it has no functional brizance, nor ignition function. Depleted Uranium is used for anti-tank, because it almost immediately ignites into a flaming spall after penetration (in oxygen). As such it also sets everything behind it, on fire. Tungsten is glass-hard and tends to have no spall from itself. DU is softer, and when penetrating it basically flows like butter through any soft metals, and those edges ignite. We used to model this hydrodynamic flow, and the main problem was that the DU blob ejected all of itself before penetrating. The additions of some kind of support structure, such as the aluminum cup (much softer) is intended to provide a sacrificial buffer so that the DU can get further into the structure. Tungsten has the same problems as the original Luger pistol, where the bullet just went cleanly though the target. As a result, warriors were able to fight on for hours, unless they lost a lot of blood, or had been hit in a disabling site. The Moro war earlier led to the move to a larger 45 round by the Marines, which had a one-hit disabling capability.

    The results for raufoss m211 vs the SLAP makes sense to me. The raufoss is meant to pierce soft-armored or lightly-armored vehicles and detonate behind the armor, inflicting serious damage to the vehicle’s occupants. The SLAP is like a needle, it’s made for pure penetration but won’t cause nearly the same amount of chaos inside of a vehicle.

  • @ScoutSniper3124
    @ScoutSniper3124 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    FYI - I've shot standard .50 bmg AP rounds into 1.5" and 2" mild steel plate at 100 yds. It bores a hole clean through the 1.5" and either bulged the back or the penetrator sticks out the back on the 2" plate. Might be something your viewers would like to see, but I'd highly recommend using a full-length barrel rifle to get the most out of it. My is a Barrett M99 with the longer bull barrel.

    The M993 is a Swedish ammo made by Bofors. I've tested it a lot for body armor protection. With that round the body armor gets to heavy to wear. In Sweden the army has ordered new combat rifles from Sako Finland and I could guess what ammo they are going to use.

  • @Snow-Foot
    @Snow-Foot 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    M993 seems like shooting a magnum version of a 308 but with the added benefit of it having a hardened core and additions to stabilize it in flight. Same with the SLAP. The Slap is a lightweight core? Less material to eat the force of impact. Only the tungsten core to ice pick thru the plate.

    someone might have mentioned already, but there is actually one 7.62 that is more extreme than even the SLAP... 7.62x51 DUDS, which stands for Depleted Uranium Discarding Sabot. so basically a SLAP round but with DU instead of tungsten. not even sure where you would find them. I believe Oxide did some testing with a couple awhile back

    Wonder how the old remington saboted 30-06 varmint round would do? IIRC it fired a .22 cal 70gr at around 3700fps. I still have a couple floating around. I suspect they wouldn't even dimple the metal since they're pretty standard construction copper jacketed lead, the oddity being a sabot .22 out of aught six.
