50 BMG vs Barrels of Water (300 Gallons)

[Music] what's up guys my name is Scott and you're watching detective ballistics and today we're gonna see how much water it takes to stop a 50 BMG I've done stuff like this before I've lined up water Jose and shot him with a 44 Magnum ER 9 millimeter 10 millimeter I don't think I ever did 500 Magnum that would be pretty cool when we do that later but today we're gonna 50 BMG so I thought well we can't really line up water jugs because for one it would take a ton of water jugs and - I don't think the bullet would ever fly straight enough to actually stop in a 1 gallon water jug I think it eventually would zing off left or right or at the top and we'd never catch it so I thought what's a more efficient way we could shoot water and possibly capture a 50 BMG well I found these big 55-gallon drums so I bought six of these things and now we're gonna fill them up full water and we're gonna line them up shoot them with a 50 Cal and see how many it takes to stop it how many barrels of water do you think it's gonna take to stop a 50 BMG oh let's head outside and find out so we've got our six 55-gallon barrels of water lined up ready to shoot but I'm thinking I'm gonna lay them on their side so we have to travel through more water and we get more bang for our buck out of these things so I'm gonna go ahead and lay them on their side and line them up and then we'll shoot them with the 50 BMG [Music] oh okay we're good to go so here's the plan we're gonna shoot the barrels first with a Hornady 750 grand a max then after that whatever we have left we'll shoot with a full metal jacket and see if we can get that to stop in some water so I'm gonna be honest I'm a little disappointed right now I figure that first barrel would have just exploded but it didn't it is bulged you can see this white line here where the plastic is bulged we've got a little hole up front and surprisingly nothing out of the back well I guess let's go ahead and just roll this one out of the way and roll it out of the way look get out of here now let's shoot at these five will the Full Metal Jacket and see how many we make it through now that we know one 55-gallon barrel of water will stop a 750 grain a max I am still in disbelief at that one 55-gallon barrel stopped that a max but that bullet is made to expand so I guess really it's not that surprising so now let's see how many we make it through with a 660 grain Full Metal Jacket let's go check that out okay it had they're going through more than one there's our whole and there's not a hole in the second barrel there's no hole in the back of this one that is crazy one 55-gallon barrel stop the full-metal-jacket also whoa we did bust it though check that out so here's the full metal jacket which it's not a full metal jacket anymore here's the jacket ripped it off completely and did it quite perfectly because here's the bullet and it's perfect now let's see if we can find the a max round see if I can get there we go I bet you that a max round is just shredded I hear it I see it hard okay just like I thought there's just a bunch of tiny pieces of lead in there where that a max just shredded but I did get some out of it here's a big piece of lead here's some jacket and this is pretty cool this is the polymer tip of that a max round so that's it for today hey if you decided to call Sabu because you're interested in a Subaru or in 50 don't forget to mention Kentucky ballistics under your initial call and they'll give you $50 off your rifle also when I was filming today I had every intention of shooting those barrels of water for the 338 Lapua but after I started results with the 50 BMG I was like well I don't know if I want to shoot the barrels of water was a 338 Lapua now because I highly doubt it's gonna do any better than the 50 BMG because it's pumping out a lot more power than that 338 so I didn't I didn't shoot the barrels of water with a 33 of the pivot but if I decided to test 338 Lapua against water knowing what you don't now would you rather see me shoot the barrels of water would you rather see me shoot gallons of water you know just joe's of water please leave your answers in the comment section down below I really appreciate ya'll watching please give the video a like and subscribe to the channel if you're new subscriber don't forget you that little bell at the top it's any of you notifications we have blowed new videos don't forget if you have anything you want to see me shoot there's an address in the description down below that you can send your items to also in the description down below you'll find links to continue Melissa's patreon clothing Facebook Instagram and don't forget chase that over there table once again my name is Scott you've been watching the antenna ballistics and I'll see you next time [Music]
