Can body armor stop a 50 CAL? Could You survive if it did?
This video from Garand Thumb investigates the effectiveness of body armor against a .50 caliber round. The experiment tests various configurations of armor plates against this powerful rifle caliber to determine if it can be stopped and, more importantly, if a person could survive such a hit even if the armor held. The video details the experimental setup, the results of different plate combinations, and concludes with the findings of the test, including the performance of RAUFOSS .50 caliber ammunition.
