.50 cal API Vs. 18 hard drives
« on: November 24, 2009, 08:56:59 AM »
Found this video online, a guy takes a Armalite AR .50 cal sniper rifle with armor piercing incendiary rounds out to the range and tapes 18 computer hard drives together to see how far the bullet will penetrate.

It would have been impressive had he done it a little farther away...

At that range the bullets not even fully stabilized from exit shock, surprised it didnt go clean thru thou at that range.

Why hard drives? I mean there must be easier ways of deleting all the porn on your hard drives.

Also what was firing on the other lane, automatic fire too. Sounds impressive?
