50 CAL VS TRAIN TRACK RAIL

One thing every YouTuber should learn from this guy is getting straight to the point and don't talk 20 minutes trying to sound like an expert, we want work and results, no talks, good on u Edwin

Now Youtube thinks I really like trains.

The amount of force that 50 cal round has is just unbelievable, if that sandbag was not there we can bet that piece of metal would have flown back a couple of inches considering how heavy it is for its size.

I am always properly educated when this man sets up his experiments. These are real eye openers. 50 cal is very powerful.

I like how Edwin just jumps straight to the point and no unnecessary sh*t. :)

The fact you lined those first 2 shot up nearly perfectly perpendicular was quite impressive.

Rails are made of steel and usually have additives in the alloy such as manganese to increase strength and wearability. Nice that your section had the "1925" roll date. Rail weights are "per yard"; that is 130-pound rail weighs 130 pounds per three-foot section. Interesting to see what .50 BMG can do to solid rail. No wonder .50 on target could shred airplane engines or flame an aircraft. John Moses Browning was quite an inventor.

The time between the sound from the gun and the bullet hitting the metal... is just unbelievable!

Somewhere, there's a really confused railway worker

I am a retired locomotive engineer and company officer of the now defunct Southern Pacific railroad. In the first segment when looking at the rail you see the number 1925. That is the year this rail was made. You also see hash marks. These give the month of the manufacture, 1 hash mark thru 12. Rail is further classified by weight of a three foot section. As shown, in 1925 we are talking about 80lbs rail of average grade steel. Today the date and the hash marks remain. But, main line rail, especially so in curvature, is made of carbon steel and 139lbs and up. The shooter mentioned a possible ricochet. If using today’s rail he would have had all of the ricochet. But if you want to reach out and touch someone the weapons shown would definitely do the trick.

Train Rails are made of a flexible steal, they literally bend like noodle's in proper lengths.

That is a powerful shot. Thanks for the demonstration.

Railroad tracks are made of a wonderfully strong and durable metal alloy called steel, which is a mixture of carbon and iron.

"hopefully this doesn't ricochet..." Yeah you might want to have tried thinking about that slightly longer before firing a 50 cal

Damn that's Fn sweet!! I'm loving the slow motion replays!!!!

Wow, that's dated to 1925. It looks like 100lbs rail (100lbs per yard) so it was from a mainline. It saw steam engines and WWII. I'm a total train nerd as you can tell lol. Please put this up Edwin, its a piece of history :) (and no I didnt mind you shooting it, was very interesting!)

I was working on Railway Tracks. I think the metal used to make a railroad track, would be steel. That's a flat bottomed rail. There's also Bull Head rails, a slightly lighter rail used with different railway sleeper technology. My gosh! You shot right through it! Incredible power!

Phenomenal! It's like watching a symphony of mechanical mastery.

Fascinating excellent video. Thank you for getting right to your shots and no bs. Oh and thanks for your ammo investment!

I think Jaspari had a bad day 😄. Usually he is like “ I am reaaaddyy!!!!! “ this time he is “ ready”
