I wanna visit and bring my M1903A1. We can find out if my AP round will punch through that steel plate >=3

I need to get one of those for myself some time. And I'd bet that they would, the steel jacketed 7.62x54r nearly punched through these 1" thick plates, and left a 1/2" hole in the 3/4" plate we had.

Thanks for the fav, too!

".45 ACP rounds from my home built carbine,"
OH?...
Details man! Details!

Well, it's from an 80% 1911 receiver which was cut to accept a slightly modified Mech-Tech Carbine Conversion Unit, and is not capable of using a slide. An older picture of it is over here, but it's since been updated with some nice wooden match grips and an EO Tech. I have a handful of McCormick Power-10 magazines for it. Quite the fun little thing. I'm working on a semi-auto Sten MK-III to dole out 9x19 en masse right now. Hopefully it won't take too much longer to finish that.

awesome!
and nice job hitting the other person D=

:D

*twitches* Wants to shoop it, but *twitch* dosent know hoooww tooo!!!

how would it stand to a Breda M109 with API rounds?
btw... you got one of them? xD

Breda M109? Not familiar with those.

Unless you mean a Beretta M9. We did shoot them with some steel jacketed 7.62x54r, and steel core 5.56x45, so I don't think a tungsten core 9x19 would stand a chance.

I mite have ment that, but I sware it was the M109... oh well...
I just relized... I dont think I've ever shot an API round...
I'm gunna change that asap (if I can in this state)

Hope you can. If not, I have some APIT rounds for my .50 caliber. Just gotta figure out what to punch a burning hole through with those.

a tank?
got one of them handy?

I bet, it would be fun, to get a block of steel 2'³ and see how deep it penatrates...

Someone's already tried that with a block of cast iron. The steel core 5.56 did the same thing, a chunk of one hit me in the leg and left a nasty bruise.

oww... but... in the video.. am I the only one who finds it odd, that you here the sound, of the super-sonic bullet, befor it hits?
I think that violats some fundimentle law of phisics....
or, was that a pice of the block?
oh, welll, you luck, a bruise, is all you got

I think coming back it was sub-sonic and tumbling. Not sure if it was block or not, but hardened core bullets are a ricochet hazard when they can't penetrate their target. The jacket will often be stripped off and forced in the opposite direction.

All I got was a bruise on my leg, about where a nerve is, and it went numb for a few hours. I had said not to use the steel core on the plates, and a few snuck in there while my roommate was shooting, anyways.

wow... if indeed it was the jacket, and tumbling, than that realy is indeed one REALY lucky man 'eh?

you should frame that it's a work of art

hmm....I should make some

Be careful. These were made with too mild of a steel, and they cratered pretty badly, spraying quite a bit of fragments back at the shooter.

ok. good to know. I don't have the resorces to make one now anyway
