Can a Train Track Rail Stop a 50 Cal Sniper Rifle?

In this video, I'm going to be seeing if a railroad track could stop a bullet. I'm going to start small with a .22, and I'm going to work my way all the way up through 11 levels of destruction all the way to the mighty .50 cal, and we will see if it will go through. What they will do to this thing, we have Fred standing by, and if at any time any of the bullets makes it through the railroad track into Fred, Fred loses. This thing is 40 pounds of solid steel. it was designed so that railroad trains railroad vehicles trains yeah that's what you want to call it it was designed to hold trains as they pass over them so it is extremely heavy it's also kind of a fun shape it's not super thick so we will see what happens if we shoot it in the thin part i mean it's a lot of steel it's very hard it's very durable but i feel like it may have a few weaknesses zach if nothing goes through the first time maybe we'll just keep shooting this thing until we get a satisfying hole in it it is definitely one of the hardest things that we've shot let's get started okay we're starting out at level one we have our Ruger Mark IV we have our round of .22 brian has a slow-mo camera set up today boom on time let's shoot it here we go .22 versus a railroad track that was such a satisfying ding it sounded like i just got a text or something wow .22 didn't really do anything bullet just kind of frags out okay .22 hit right here kind of in the upper portion of it golly this thing's heavy hit right there you see that gray mark and i almost see like streaks where the bullet just explodes and comes down right here fred's fine barely even left a mark let's move up all right next up level two we have the Glock 19 shooting a round of 9mm here will this just bounce off the outside let's see what happens we have a brand new barrier that just came in from our friends at total shield they sent us this sack wow it's super high quality so thank you to total shield and it's going to protect us from any ricochets today uh we kind of just have it jerry-rigged here in between some cinder blocks but we're gonna build it up into something nice over time but this thing is super solid and very clear so that we can start shooting hard materials again we lost our other shield it got literally taken away by a huge flood that hit texas like six months ago so that's kind of why we've been shooting a bunch of soft stuff but now that we have this puppy we're gonna get back into uh some of the harder materials we have some good videos lined up coming up in the future we're so back dude what's that we are so back just shooting here we go nine mil versus a railroad track firing whoa zach i got hit with something oh bullet nails the bottom part shoots up and just kind of curves back out the other way okay nine mil hit maybe here maybe here i'm not exactly sure and then you can see that bullet just like explodes comes back up and then just like shoots into the sky didn't really do much though zach there's not even like a tiny little divot in these things these things are tough just stain in it yeah a little stain on it yeah it's just like a little nothing we're gonna have to move up moving up to the 1911 we have a round of 45 acp what will level three do maybe a little dent all right here we go 1911 versus railroad track that was a solid hit Zach that was a good hit dude we're back to the ding our bullet nails it right in the center and just blows into like a million different pieces and you can see a big divot right there in in the center the nine mil hit was not great i hit a little low this one we hit dead on and then you just see like a ring around where the impact was and it's just all gray and you see like rays of the bullet just like shooting out as it explodes but this thing i'm not even feeling it indention it's just nothing we're gonna need some big guns to get through we're gonna need some huge guns Zach this thing is really tough let's move up Zach moving up to the revolver we have a 44 magnum here and we're shooting a round of bare load today meaning that this one packs an extra punch Zach this is actually designed for bears i would know because winter of 2004 i'm actually on the polar express Zach heading up through alaska right around december 24th on christmas eve this man big white beard comes up to me in my sleep tells me i'm getting on this train so i get on the train i'm on the polar express and then a bear grizzly hops onto the train he's running over the top comes down into the train all right take him down to 44 magnum i saved christmas that year you were on the Polar Express, yeah, the Polar Express in Alaska, yeah, on our way to the North, oh you were just going through Alaska, yeah, here we go 44 Magnum versus railroad track, firing, oh yeah Zach that looked like a good hit, another nice ding, I hit right there in the center, you almost see like a pancaked piece of the bullet like just ding out and fly off to the side, all right, 44 Magnum hit right here and also did basically nothing which is insane because the 44 Magnum is super powerful, hit right here just explodes Fred, like I think he kind of look at his hoodie, he got, oh I didn't even see that, wow, so you can see this is like a good little science lesson, you hit right here the bullet just explodes and all the fragments go out and got Fred right here in the sleeve of his Yeezy Life hoodie, which you can get at yeezy.com, link in description but his vitals are still okay, it did stop it, that's what happens when you shoot something really hard, it just goes out, all right, nothing has even come close to penetrating a railroad track, here we have the mighty Desert Eagle to see if he has anything to say about that, we're shooting around a .50 AE, here we go, Eagle versus railroad track whoa, Fred's head almost like came off, Zach, oh man, violent impact that time from the Desert Eagle and you can actually see Fred's arm does get hit and then the power of the Deagle just pushes the whole thing back all right this is our biggest impact so far there's actually a piece of the bullet stuck look at that it's like flaking off of the railroad track but there's like still basically no penetration may have torn up his sleeve a little bit more wow this thing is tough i mean it makes sense i guess it's like a half inch or more of like basically hardened steel let's move up to the rifles all right we're moving up to the 12 gauge we're shooting it with an enormous round this is our slug huge piece of metal going at another piece of metal who is to win let's shoot it here we go 12 gauge versus a railroad track all right whoa dude fantastic hit zach that knocked fred all the way back with the force oh huge hit from the slug i almost see like sparks and fire there just from the impact that was insane fred got knocked back i hope he's okay i hope so too took a tumble huge mark here we do have a little penetration like definitely more than the Desert Eagle definitely more than Desert Eagle here i mean it's not much it's like microscopic but i can definitely feel like a little divot in there and the force just knocks fred backwards so that is definitely where the slug hit and it like chipped away some of this like metal on the other side but so we don't have any penetration like through the railroad track so far but the bullets are just kind of flying all over the place and fred is taking some shrapnel here let's move up to the AR all right we're moving up to the AR, we have a round of green tip 5.56, so we have a steel tip round going up against another big piece of steel, this should in theory be like our first significant damage into this thing, let's see what happens here, we go AR versus railroad track, firing, another good hit, saw like a poof that time, you can hardly see the bullets going so fast, it hits the top and then just flies downward, so I actually hit that one a little bit high which is kind of interesting so it hit right here and then you can see that bullet like fragmented down and you see there's just like a huge gray line here where the bullets are just like coming down and then like hitting the slope here on the railroad track, green tip 5.56 didn't really do much, let's move up, okay I turned it up just so like give us a little more surface area up and down for our shots, let's move up, we're moving up to the AK-47, we have a round of 7.62 by 39 here, a little bit bigger, is it gonna do better than the green tip, let's see, here we go AK-47 versus a railroad track, oh my gosh, that red just slowly tipped back from the force, oh we may have gotten our first legit divot on that one, it knocks the whole thing backwards into Fred I'm actually pretty impressed with the force of like these rounds that are able to knock this 40 of a 50 pound railroad track back into Fred and knock him over, so it hit right here and hardly any penetration, there's just like a piece of the round like that lead is just still sticking out of the railroad tie but it didn't really do much the backside is clean the force just knocks Fred back let's move up again all right next up we are moving up yet again to the mighty Gold Scar that was good that was really good shooting a round of .308 could this give us i just want a good solid divot Zach i want a satisfying divot in the railroad track it's like an anvil so far what in the world i think this might do it dude i feel like a pipsqueak you are kind of a pipsqueak here we go Gold Scar versus railroad track all right whoa it was smoking yeah it's smoking and i hear it raining on the roof right here huge impact that time you just see like a cloud of dust just come straight back super fast right on impact i can smell that one man you can just tell the .308 was just a step up yep we finally got a satisfying divot here i mean it didn't do a lot but that is not nothing that is a huge chunk it's just like a silver chunk on this charcoal like outer metal nothing through the other side there's like maybe a little chunk of like that like rust coming off the other side but did not go through but the force did also knock Fred back so impressive that the force knocked him back Gold Scar is in the lead right now in terms of like the most penetration let's see how it compares to the next rifle so i'm gonna roll just let's go just say rolling so that i know that you're rolling i'm rolling just let me know i'm filming you right now okay moving up to the .30-06 are you under the impression that that looks cool yeah anything's cool if you make it slow enough here's our round right here biggest so far this one's gonna be fun we're in dangerous territory here this could make it all the way through the railroad track fred's getting nervous all right so like a few videos ago we asked you you guys to go to Nerf's instagram and comment that they should make a Yee Life nerf gun and like thousands of you went in support of Yee Life demanding in a nice way that they make a Yee Life nerf gun and it really had me thinking zach all these people are so supportive of the channel we should put their names in the

versus a railroad track this should be interesting fiery oh wow zach i saw like a huge copper mark on it our bullet slams into the center there it almost looks like a bronze mark there and then you can see the bullet actually like fragments down into the cinder block just sends chunks everywhere okay huge mark right here in the center of it man it almost looks like i don't even know like smoke or something here on the side i think that that beats the 308 in terms of penetration yeah definitely think so that's pretty big big crater there and it's like copper super cool color the force of it knocks fred back but nothing has come let's see what the backside looks like zach no nothing not even a crack on the backside so as kind of i expected it is going to be up to the 50 cal to try to defeat our railroad track fred has been knocked around a little bit today but he is still okay nothing has made it through the railroad track i'm gonna get geared up and we'll shoot the 50 cal okay so we can't fit the 50 cal because the barrel is too big to fit through the slit on that shield so we moved back our railroad track back here's like a hundred yards uh down range just to be safe and we have it all set up we have fred set up would he survive i mean look at the thickness of this sack man this is gonna be interesting it's like hardened it's like hardened steel maybe a half inch i'm gonna guess that it's gonna go through you think so yeah i don't think it is i don't think it's gonna do it it's gonna be close let's see zach eagle one is doing a pass right before we shoot the 50 making sure that the skies are clear we should be good to go now you talk to him already he's just doing his final passes i haven't gotten official clearance yet he's just like doing this, Zach, I gotta get clearance real quick. Go ahead Eagle One, this is Ghost Star requesting clearance to engage target. Roger that, green light to go Ghost Star you are not connected to anything, we're good now Zach, I got clearance. All right, I am dead still on this puppy. There we go. Hang on, Fred, got him. You got it, got a good hit on it. Yeah, I think we did let's go see what happened. Oh, a huge flash there from the .50 cal and smoke just like billowing up it's kind of hard to see actually where the bullet hits. It looks like it may have hit the side of the railroad track. Let's go see the track is off of the cinder block. Zach, I think we had a clean hit. Look, nothing out the back side. Let's see what the front looks like. Oh, you hit the side. Wow that sucks. We haven't shot the .50 at this distance in like six months and so that scope unfortunately is off. I hit right here, Zach, on the edge. Check that out. Took a huge chunk out of the edge. I'm I'm gonna set it all up. I'm gonna hit it one more time. See if we can hit dead center. See what happens when you hit the center of this thing. Hang on, Fred. All right. Fred! Oh, the whole camera just flashes white. The fire just takes up the entire screen. Sparks and smoke everywhere. And the railroad track gets pushed back into Fred. All right, let's go. I'm going light mode, Zach. Check it out. Whoa, dropping weight. Why are we running? What's that? Why are we running? Just in case Fred needs help. Oh, okay. I'm a little worried about him. Whoa! Zach, clean entry and exit. I'm seeing a hole straight through this thing. Whoa, it did make it through after all. Wow, look at how gnarly this is. So it entered right here. I'm just seeing all this black soot from the flash from when that hit, went clean through the other side. Big exit here. Oh man, Zach, I'm worried about him. It sliced through that track like butter. And so the entry on Fred is actually not that big. Here's the entry through Fred, right here through his chest. And it did come through right here, out Fred's back. The 50 Cal defeats the railroad track. Wow. Nothing else could do it. You didn't believe in it. I thought this thing was going to be- You didn't believe in it. I was wrong. Forgive me. Wow. This is no joke, Zach. Look at the thickness of that steel. Nothing else even really put a dent in it. And the 50 Cal just slices through like butter. 50 Cal's the winner. 50 Cal, the winner of today's video, the railroad track challenge. Thank you guys for watching.
