7.62X51mm, M80 and M61 AP VS Concrete Block :D

Got the idea to shoot cinder blocks from The Wound Channel

and from The Chopping Block:

Concrete blocks are pretty tough. They absorb enough of a bullet's energy after being penetrated through one side, to cause the bullet to not have enough energy to pierce the second side.

So how does M80 Ball and M61AP stand up ?

We used a piece of plywood between blocks to see if the bullet would penetrate both sides :D

Penetration of the first side is easy ,but both bullets failed to penetrate the second side. They destroyed the block, but lacked enough energy to make it into the plywood.

Maybe it's time for 50 BMG :D
