This man might seem like just another gun channel, but he is an exceptional person. How he treats his employee, and how humble he is with showing all the misses that may even be embarrassing to someone like him, demonstrates this fact.Exceptional person. subscribed
@stirange I think its more exceptional that A Badran responded to you within the same day of your comment. Especially cause his original comment was from 2 years ago lmao.
Titanium is the main material Kelly Johnson used in the fastest aircraft ever, and the highest-flying aircraft ever, the SR-71 Blackbird. It still holds those records. Johnson chose it for its strength and LIGHTNESS. It's very entertaining to see how strong it is in your bullet test! Thanks for the effort you put into your videos.
@@pietropieragnoli1346 If you meant STEEL and not stell, this is not STEEL. It is Titanium, one of the elements just like steel or oxygen is an element, but titanium is in the family of METALS.
@@pietropieragnoli1346 I don't think Edwin ever said in this video what alloy he was using. The most common alloy used in about 75% of uses is Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5.
One of the reasons the A-10 Warthog is so durable is the cockpit armor consisting of a titanium “bathtub” of 0.5 to 1.5 inches thick. This was determined by studies of trajectories and deflection angles. Further tests have shown this armor to effectively stop 23 mm canon fire and some 57 mm canon fire. In addition the cockpit surfaces are covered by a nylon spall material to protect against fragmentation. The titanium armor makes up fully 6% of the aircraft’s empty ground weight.
If the AAA shooter got a round inside the titanium tub when the aircraft was banked, I wonder how many ricochets it would do before it got spent? Hoped it wouldn't ricochet too many times or the pilot might get hit.
I never get tired of watching you guys. You are funny AND super informative. THANK YOU so much for these GREAT videos. Titanium is incredible stuff. I am amazed that an incendiary armor-piercing 50 BMG round won't go through. Incredible. Once again, Thank You.
This video is amazing. Firing the most powerful consumer available gun with the most powerful ammo available to a citizen against a block of the hardest elemental metal available to a citizen. The pattern of the first shot reminds me of some of the largest impact craters created on Mars. Titanium still undefeated.
Little correction: Green tip 5.56 has a LEAD core with a steel tip. It is NOT classified as an armor piercing round. They tried to label it as AP a few years ago to get it banned by saying it had a hard metal core, but it has a soft lead core. The steel tip is not the core. The steel tip is mainly for balancing the bullet but it does help with penetration.
4 Things 1)) what damage was there to the concrete? 2)) on the first 50 BMG round something went flying off the right side of the screen. 3)) on the second 50 BMG round you can see something hit the top of the wall on the left side. You should frame that and put it up for auction starting bid $1000 to help purchase the next item.
Get a great laugh watching your videos. The chemistry you 2 have as good friends is awesome. Plus here in the UK we can't go aro8nd shooting of 50 cals when we feel like it 😂👍👍
HE is the explosive filler rounds. The HE purpose is to fragment causing damage to components or people. APIT is Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer. Incendiary rounds purpose is to start fires, the explosive is to spread the flash burning material around as much as possible. So while they explode it’s only a means to an end.
Found you're videos a couple weeks ago and have watched alot. Jesperido is awesome, my favorite videos is of just you two guys doing your thing. Kinda cool to see you guys evolve over the years too. I notice a difference from this video and a couple years ago. Hope you guys are still making vids a couple years from now and that I'm able to see how much y'all have evolved and how much the channel has grown. It took 10-15 videos, but you and Jesperidos chemistry/friendship convinced to subscribe. I'm not a gun owner or anything, these vids are cool and I cant help but to find myself rooting for both of you. Good luck in the future
We are going to send you some Bullet Resistant glass samples to shoot. I will email you all information and the glass will be labeled . NIJ and UL approved .
It is the Magnesium content in the alloy that causes extreme heat and burns as well. Quite important is the alloy you got. regular Titanium is not that strong, it is the alloy that determines the strength and resistance.
No matter what these two shoot, or what they shoot again, every video is a joy and fun to watch. What makes it so good is the personalities of these two, they should do a TV show, going around the world, testing guns from different countries! They can get Gun Jesus from Forgotten Weapons (also excellent RU-vid channel, by the way) to organise trips for them.
Dude i have one idea you can try, we had .50BMG sabot rounds in iraq. My gun truck M2 .50cal used either AP or HE rounds, but we found .50BMG Sabot rounds that we tried a couple times on a EOD disposal range, the results were devastating, those do exist, trust me
Hi guys I'm from Australia and I love watching the crazy things you guys do and I love the way you have fun doing it, wish I was there having the chance to shoot all those rifles, it's really cool, I also like how you are very high on safety. Keep it up, awesome. Cheers
I love it, how much fun you guys must be having while “scientifically”😂 testing all these guns and ammunition! I’m laughing so much my wife thinks I’m crazy….
I agree because technically, everything is bullet proof under the right circumstances 😆 Titanium is a very resilient metal, but it's not meant to handle physical force. It's meant more for handling friction(heat) damage. That's why we use it on our aircraft and not our tanks. But can it take a bullet? If it's thick enough, sure, why not 😄.
Since it didn't penetrate it doesn't make any difference It didn't even bulge so the titanium itself stopped the bullet ( second time it clearly flew back ) What you say was also my concern but it didn't apply eventually
It is 2021 and we all know by now ONLY .50BMG SLAP rounds could go thru it because of its velocity. 20mm sabot even slower velocity than the 4,000 fps .50cal SLAP rounds.
another thing I learned from Edwin's video is that having it tilted vs 90 degree makes a HUGE difference. Having a solid back stop support vs not having it with back support makes a bit difference but not a HUGE difference.
I admire your determination. If I had a 50 caliber rifle, there's no way in hell I'd set it up like that and risk damaging it. That back blast was scary powerful. They use titanium in modern tank armor so I expect that yes in the proper thickness it's most anything proof. Keep entertaining us guys and stay safe.
13:08 -- yes, it was. When hit by a bullet or shrapnel, titanium produces a very bright and ultra-high temperature spark. That's why the US military stopped used titanium panels for bullet-proof vests about 15 years ago.
With the solid concrete behind the target, the bullet can not push the titanium back outward to help it penetrate. Use two 4"by4" pieces of wood to let the metal expand in the back.
I'm a journeyman machinist. I've cut many different metals in my 30 year career including titanium. To me titanium seemed to be about as tough as a good alloy steel. The advantage of titanium is it's light weight, it's lighter than steel but heavier than soft aluminum, making it ideal for aviation.
Your relationship with the man behind you is amazing, & the way You put him forward at times is really cool...and the missed I think is intentional, I got ya...it was supposed to get your camera man shot those amazing guns 😂👌
definitely the funnest twosome on the video planet - thank you for making me smile and for taking me away from the world for a few minutes. Take care and be safe out there....
More superalloy test with other materials? Maybe multi-layered carbon fiber? I am finding value in these videos for design considerations in my ground robotic designs. Thank you for these innovative demonstrations! Perhaps when future designs are complete, I will send you one to try out if that would be of interest.
