Can the new 6.8x51 in the M5 rifle defeat a Level 4 SAPI plate? We try our best to find out.
This video investigates whether the new 6.8x51mm cartridge, as used in the M5 rifle, can defeat a Level 4 SAPI plate. Due to the difficulty in acquiring military-grade ammunition and the M5 rifle, the content creator uses a 6.5 PRC in a Browning X-Bolt to simulate the bullet weight and velocity of the 6.8x51mm. The video acknowledges that military rounds will likely have enhanced armor-piercing capabilities but aims to provide an answer using available commercial ammunition. The description also promotes various discounts and support channels for the creator.
