@CARifles Ooh. Thanks for the help! I'm looking forward to getting myself one of these weapons. Is there any long range rifles for this type of round?
that is just fucking scary, y dont police and the army use this?? like actually it will probably penetrate the sctongest body armor even tanks and helicopters
Because the round is impractical and expensive, this round was designed in theory for mil/leo but in reality its just going to be a civie fun round. This round is not practical whatsover for military use.
"that is just fucking scary"
No its not, its a dangerous thing and the only way to deal with a dangerous thing is to learn how to use it, a dangerous thing in the hands of a trained person is no more dangerous than your average toaster.
@blizzard249 the reason the police and military dont use is because its very practical and doesnt have a very long effective range. the 50 beowulf, although powerful, quickly loses velocity due to its large size, which gives it a very short range compared to other rifle rounds. also its heavy kick and low ammo capacity make it difficult to use. i've read that the best use for these is for officers working at security checkpoints, since the round can easily penetrate vehicles if necessary.
@Tigerclaws63 I never meant for this to be entertaining. I designed the rifle stock and people were asking me if it could handle the .50 Beowulf round. Frankly I am shocked so many people have viewed it.
Well even if it is propaganda, saying it has the recoil similar to a 20 gauge isnt just some kind of political crap. Plus judging from all of the videos Ive ever seen of people firing the beowulf; the recoil does look very similar to that of a 20 gauge.
@drewnickel. There really is nothing you can lern from Future Weapons unless you have a brain capacity of a pantyhose. You cant lern to fire a weapon in theories... atleast not by watching Future Weapons, the way that show is made is following: Start, propaganda, propaganda, clip, propaganda propaganda, end. I wouldent be supriced if they would have a show featuring the "harquebus" as a new-developed piece of SMART American weapon.
@SoPlEoReD Future weapons is a bullshit show. Sure they have cool stuff at hand, but you have to take everything with a gigantic grain of salt. He lost all credibility in my eyes when he pulled out a .308 and said that it was a AK47 round.
@csmybuttt .308 cal = 7.62mm it's just .308 normally implies the 7.62 x 51, whereas he was referring to the 7.62 x 39. It's still the same width which is the measurment he stated.
@TheMohawkNinja Yes, the bullet diameters are the same, but what he did in the show was that he pulled out a .308 CARTRIDGE and stated: "This is a .308. It goes in the AK-47." This was not a issue with diameters. It's similar to pulling out a .50 BMG and saying "This is the .50 BMG. It goes in the Desert Eagle."
@csmybuttt Oh... I see what you are saying now. The only thing i ever had against him besides this was how he would take the inferior rifle and shoot it at the torso of a target, and then take the superior weapon and shoot at the head.
@TheMohawkNinja There's the episode about the IAR. He fires off 30 rounds from an M4 and pours water on the barrel to show how hot it gets. Then he does the same with the open-bolt IAR and puts his finger on the bolt, as opposed to the barrel. Unbalanced much?
@csmybuttt That does work abit, because alot of guns the bolt would also be very hot but he still should have either both on bolt or both on the barrel.
@TheMohawkNinja Perhaps that wasn't the ideal example, but do you see my point here? Future Weapons is a decent show, but one should never use it as a reference.
@SUP3RZ0MB1E How am I only "technically" right? There is no circumstance in which 39 is equal to 51, so saying that the two 7.62 rounds are the same is going to be wrong, regardless of context.
@csmybuttt 7.62 is the caliber. Period. The second number (for those who dont know), 39 and 51, is the shell length (load...nothing to do with caliber). .308 is a caliber, the same as 7.62.
In other words, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51 is the exact same caliber, just a different load. .308 uses a heavier load, so "technically" the 39 round is different, where the 51 is (pretty much) the same
@SUP3RZ0MB1E Actually, if you want to whine about how I'm merely "technically? correct, the .308 is NOT diameter of the bullet. The diameter of the BULLET is 7.62 mm or .300. The round is called .308 for differentiation between other .30 caliber or 7.62 mm rounds. The .308 designation came from measuring the rifling groove diameter in the barrel chambered for it. The .308 is a 7.62, but not all 7.62 is .308. I hope you're smart enough for that to make sense.
@csmybuttt ACTUALLY if you want to get real technical, the .308 is a .30 caliber. I agreed with you in the first place that they were wrong, but whatever. Youre obviously just another child on youtube that has to drag out every argument as much as possible. I wont be reading anything else you write, so just move on.
they are all indeed in the 300 class of bullets but I have found it hard to get an apples to apples comparisan from .300 mag, 30-06 and 308 to the military rounds, not to mention sometimes the size is mesured in millimeters which I can tell 25 is smaller the 30 which is usually used as an anti air round or more often anti light armor like the gau 8 in the warthog, or bushmaster gun.
I am trying to get an apples to apples and there are many 7.62 rounds themselves even.
@15harney1987 by my understanding the bullets used in 7.62x39 & 7.62x54r are a larger diameter than bullets used in 7.62x51 (.308) & 7.62x63 (.30-06), so it doesn't seem that "7.62" is the bullet diameter... also, both 7.62x51 and modern loadings for 7.62x54R have ballistics roughly equal to the WWII loadings for .30-06, but it is the 7.62x51 that is a NATO standard, the 7.62x54r is a Russian design that is almost 120 years old and WWII loadings are weaker than WWII loadings for .30-06.
@IsaacKarjala no, the "7.62" part is the diameter of the actual bullet. the x39, x54r, x51 is the size of the casing. I have weapons that take the x39 and x54r, and the bullets are the exact same diameter, tested with a digital slide caliper. That may be true about the 54r being weaker loadings than the modern .30-06, but the charge of gunpowder doesnt make the round designation, its the size. 7.62x54r rnd is the exact same size as a .30-06 rnd, the difference is that the 7.62version has the rim
@15harney1987 Dude, 30-06 in metric terms is like 7.62x61. x54r is more like a .308 anyways. And I belive the x54r can actually be loaded hotter than .308s, but the quality of the gun isn't assured, so factories load them to a lower standard. I personally have a few surplus loads from China that cracked the chamber of an old M38 Mosin Nagant.

dude go watch future wepons and watch the documentary on the gun, they say it handles just like the m4 all it is, is just a couple of adjustments and etc.... not every gun with a .50 cal bullet in it is gunna have the same recoil
dude listen first the force of the 50 cal round is emence the beowulf does not have stabalizers on it so the recoil would still be there and picture the m 4 shooting the 5 mil round and has what do ya know recoil ya dumb son of a bitch
take a chill pill, honestly that sounds like a 50 cal to me though.... but why would someone lie about what type of bullet there using? you have no evidence if its a 50cal bullet or not.... if you think its such a big deal fine reply to me becasue your just gunna be wasting your time commenting back to me.
50 cal round does not equal Barrett 50 cal. These are short, fat little rounds. The Barrett round (what most consider 50cal) is far longer, thus having more mass and requiring more powder and having greater recoil.
you sure as hell never shot any form of a AR system they're built to use and reduce recoil thats why some one who as shot a AR system say it's like a 22 but i'm going to assume you shot a bolt action rifle that use a 223 and now you think you know all about guns the other thing is i own a AR that shoots 308 winchesters and has the same effect as a M4 useing 223
@anunes65 ..... what pumpkinrat did was compare a .22 (a round) to an M-4 (a firearm), that doesn't work. .223 will recoil more than a .22lr when both are fired from similar designs.
@SUP3RZ0MB1E superzombie why you being a bitch? im around m4s every week i think id know... idk how ar 15s are but i do know how m4s are and im pretty damn sure theyre the same onyl we get amped up ammuntion
@PumpkinRat Im not "being a bitch". Im just saying its ridiculous to say M4s have the same recoil as a .22. Its simple physics. Im trying to use common sense here, and you dont seem to understand, so theres no point in explaining it any further.
@SUP3RZ0MB1E M4's and other similar weapons have longer recoil springs which greatly reduces recoil, making it very similar to a .22 recoil. The longer the spring, the less the recoil. I've seen drill sgts shoot an M4 off there balls to prove the recoil isn't shit.
@15harney1987 Ive shot an M4. It DOESNT recoil much at all....but like a .22? Come on. The only thing I can think of that has "recoil" like a .22, woulbe be....airsoft, maybe? Or some pellet guns? Saying any centerfire rifle recoils the same as a rimfire is grossly exaggerated.
@creyson100 Youve seen it? So what? Ive personally shot my shotgun thousands of times, and Ive seen several others shoot it as well. It kicks different for everyone, depending on their size, how they hold it, etc.
Ive seen it shot too, and it looked pretty much like this video.
theres a huge difference between a rifle and a shotgun so it depends on how deadly it actually is. a shot gun shot eventually spreads out so much it wont kill you or wont even hit you. a rifle round in other words will go hundreds of yards delivering a very powerful hit
Any self respecting and educated gun owner knows future weapons is a load of hollywood crap. I like how in one episode the 458 lott has more kinetic energy than a .50 BMG at 400 yards... Sigh..
Mack might have been a navy seal, but he doesn't talk like it.
tazcb, first of all, Mack says the 408 round has more kinetic energy than the 50 at 400 yards. Second, this is true because the 408 round is moving much faster than the 50 cal at 400 yards. This gives it a higher kinetic energy because the kinetic energy =1/2 x mass x (velocity)^2. So even though the bullet weighs less, since velocity is squared, the 408 will have a higher kinetic energy. Its physics.
true but the beowulf makers say that its range is 200 yards not 400 they dont care what it does after 200 they jus want the brick wall stopping power up close
@ericboarder true, but the smaller the bullet, the slower it will transfer that energy into the target, so even though a 408 will have more energy at 400 yards, it doesnt rly become superior to a 50 bmg until about 1000 yards, because at 400 yards a 50 bmg still has more punch due to the quicker transfer of energy, whereas the 408 will pass through the target with less energy transfer AND a smaller wound. so, IMO, up to 1000 yards 50 bmg is best, beyond that the 408 cheytac or 416 barret
@bioforce5 well the way i see it, before, at, or after 1,000 yards, a 50 bmg, a 408 chey or the 416 barrett will kill your target. You can talk about energy transfer on target and what not, but...if it kills em dead, who really cares?
@ericboarder yes but i thought the beowulf was a cqc weapon. this would make it a valuable weapon or secondary if your were an urban sniper correct. I believe that this weapon given it's range disadvantage is still able to dompete with the m4's 5.56.
@ericboarder mate fukin nerd jesus you teaching lessons on youtube you should kill your self with a beowulf coz it has more (velocity)^2 so you wont feel a thing if you dont take my advice, have a nice >LIFE<
Thats .50 beowulf, not .50 browning. Same diameter bullet, but it's more like a .50 ae pistol cartridge. Look up Alexander arms on google, they are the inventors of the round. Its intended to stop vehicles or as an entry gun.
.50 Beowulf and .50 BMG do not have the same bullet diameter. Despite the cartridges name ".50 BMG", the bullets diameter is not .50" it is .51". The .50 Beowulf's bullet diameter is .50".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is no .50 cal,get serious.. Anyone firing a .50 standing up wouldn't able to regain sight of target that fast even if it had a muzzle brake. It looks like a bushmaster firing .223 or 5.56 nato.
haha, i love how u say it looks like a bushmaster, becuase in reality, it look just like an M4, bt it IS a .50 cal. watch the future weopons on it, lol
They can reduce muzzle flash, but are never labeled as a "Flash Hider" because you can't hunt with flash hiders.
Muzzle Breaks work by throwing expanding gasses to the sides of the guns, or in a direction back at the shooter. This prevents all of the force from going back into your shoulder, and thus "Breaks", or reduces the recoil.
It was an AR-50 shooting a 1.5 inch steel plate at 100 yards and the plate was tilted back and to the side. Oddly enough, the shooter was a Marine too.
wrong, that guy that got hit by a ricochet was firing a .50 cal at an iron plate. at the end they even say, "no more iron' I bet they were trying to see if it would go through an iron plate. too bad that was the most idiotic mistake he ever made and almost ended his life.
I think you're right. That's odd, because I heard it was steel from a friend of Willey's. He must have just assumed it was steel...although it's possible they meant steel, since steel is 99% iron. Either way, 1.5 inches is pushing it. Of course, if I had a 50 I would be tempted to see what it could shoot through too. :o)
Not every bullet fired will ricochet. With something like the Beowulf, there's going to be enough penetration that the bullets will be buried in that hillside, or will spall when they hit something harder.
hey buddy i'm talking from experience, i was a dumb shooter like that before. i was at the same distance and i caught a ricochet to my shoulder.oh and catch your kew words " not every bullete fired will ricochet"
I'm not sure how to catch a kew word. If you managed to shoot yourself in the shoulder, you must've been doing something stupid, like shooting metal plates too close or something. I've seen a lot of bullets ricochet within a thirty degree constraint, a few dozen up to almost ninety degrees hitting rocks, but never seen one come back towards the shooter if they didn't somehow deserve it.
dont want to be a dick but i was hit in the forehead shooting exactly like that with a 7.62. nasty head wound, stitches. if it had been my eye, it would be gone, since i wasnt wearing eye pro like an idiot. how my rounds will a standard ar mag hold of the bewulf? going to get an upper for the local yotes.
The muzzle break helps with accuracy and muzzle flash dispursion, not so much recoil. The M82 has such a small recoil compaired to other .50BMG guns because the whole barrell moves back an inch, then the bolt gets thrown back a good 6 or 7 inches aganst a fairley stiff spring, reducing recoil signifigantley.
A muzzle brake helps with accuracy and reduces muzzle flash and doesn't reduce recoil? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. A muzzle brake greatly reduces the recoil, and if anything makes the muzzle flash worse!
Yes the 50cal bmg round fired from the barrett is a bigger round with more powder behind it, but the gun also has a directed muzzle break, thick rubber pad on the butt, and springs inside to dampen the recoil, the 50cal beawolf has none of these luxuries, making the preceded recoil much much greater.
Nice jorts dick.

but the m4 has recoil just from standerd bullets so thats not 50 cal rounds
creyson100 2 years ago
dude go watch future wepons and watch the documentary on the gun, they say it handles just like the m4 all it is, is just a couple of adjustments and etc.... not every gun with a .50 cal bullet in it is gunna have the same recoil
SuperRaptor22 2 years ago
dude listen first the force of the 50 cal round is emence the beowulf does not have stabalizers on it so the recoil would still be there and picture the m 4 shooting the 5 mil round and has what do ya know recoil ya dumb son of a bitch
creyson100 2 years ago
take a chill pill, honestly that sounds like a 50 cal to me though.... but why would someone lie about what type of bullet there using? you have no evidence if its a 50cal bullet or not.... if you think its such a big deal fine reply to me becasue your just gunna be wasting your time commenting back to me.
SuperRaptor22 2 years ago
maybe because the gun is what five feet away and the beowulf had a shorter thicker barrel to take the bullet force
creyson100 2 years ago
@creyson100 Shut up. "The force of the 50 cal round, blah blah fuck off". Recoil depends on the load more than the bullet.
SUP3RZ0MB1E 10 months ago
50 cal round does not equal Barrett 50 cal. These are short, fat little rounds. The Barrett round (what most consider 50cal) is far longer, thus having more mass and requiring more powder and having greater recoil.

nope, it kicks a bit more, even though its well designed, a 5.56 kicks a heck alot more than a .22,
yurrxhott15 2 years ago
you sure as hell never shot any form of a AR system they're built to use and reduce recoil thats why some one who as shot a AR system say it's like a 22 but i'm going to assume you shot a bolt action rifle that use a 223 and now you think you know all about guns the other thing is i own a AR that shoots 308 winchesters and has the same effect as a M4 useing 223
anunes65 2 years ago
@anunes65 ..... what pumpkinrat did was compare a .22 (a round) to an M-4 (a firearm), that doesn't work. .223 will recoil more than a .22lr when both are fired from similar designs.

PumpkinRat 10 months ago
@PumpkinRat Im not "being a bitch". Im just saying its ridiculous to say M4s have the same recoil as a .22. Its simple physics. Im trying to use common sense here, and you dont seem to understand, so theres no point in explaining it any further.
SUP3RZ0MB1E 10 months ago
@SUP3RZ0MB1E M4's and other similar weapons have longer recoil springs which greatly reduces recoil, making it very similar to a .22 recoil. The longer the spring, the less the recoil. I've seen drill sgts shoot an M4 off there balls to prove the recoil isn't shit.
15harney1987 10 months ago
@15harney1987 Ive shot an M4. It DOESNT recoil much at all....but like a .22? Come on. The only thing I can think of that has "recoil" like a .22, woulbe be....airsoft, maybe? Or some pellet guns? Saying any centerfire rifle recoils the same as a rimfire is grossly exaggerated.
SUP3RZ0MB1E 10 months ago
what the recoil "looks" like? Some handle recoil better than others. And 50 beowulf has about as much to do with 50 bmg as .22 lr does with .223
All 50 cals are NOT created equal.

theres a huge difference between a rifle and a shotgun so it depends on how deadly it actually is. a shot gun shot eventually spreads out so much it wont kill you or wont even hit you. a rifle round in other words will go hundreds of yards delivering a very powerful hit

Any self respecting and educated gun owner knows future weapons is a load of hollywood crap. I like how in one episode the 458 lott has more kinetic energy than a .50 BMG at 400 yards... Sigh..

futureweapons is bullcrap? how so?
chaz84720 3 years ago 4
tazcb, first of all, Mack says the 408 round has more kinetic energy than the 50 at 400 yards. Second, this is true because the 408 round is moving much faster than the 50 cal at 400 yards. This gives it a higher kinetic energy because the kinetic energy =1/2 x mass x (velocity)^2. So even though the bullet weighs less, since velocity is squared, the 408 will have a higher kinetic energy. Its physics.
ericboarder 3 years ago 19
true but the beowulf makers say that its range is 200 yards not 400 they dont care what it does after 200 they jus want the brick wall stopping power up close

@ericboarder finally someone who knows this shit
joeromag 1 year ago
@ericboarder true, but the smaller the bullet, the slower it will transfer that energy into the target, so even though a 408 will have more energy at 400 yards, it doesnt rly become superior to a 50 bmg until about 1000 yards, because at 400 yards a 50 bmg still has more punch due to the quicker transfer of energy, whereas the 408 will pass through the target with less energy transfer AND a smaller wound. so, IMO, up to 1000 yards 50 bmg is best, beyond that the 408 cheytac or 416 barret
bioforce5 1 year ago
@bioforce5 well the way i see it, before, at, or after 1,000 yards, a 50 bmg, a 408 chey or the 416 barrett will kill your target. You can talk about energy transfer on target and what not, but...if it kills em dead, who really cares?

Thats .50 beowulf, not .50 browning. Same diameter bullet, but it's more like a .50 ae pistol cartridge. Look up Alexander arms on google, they are the inventors of the round. Its intended to stop vehicles or as an entry gun.

.50 Beowulf and .50 BMG do not have the same bullet diameter. Despite the cartridges name ".50 BMG", the bullets diameter is not .50" it is .51". The .50 Beowulf's bullet diameter is .50".

tehspillah, the muzzle flash is meant to reduce recoil, you've got that much right, but in most cases does reduce the muzzle flash as well.
Tayoshi 4 years ago
They can reduce muzzle flash, but are never labeled as a "Flash Hider" because you can't hunt with flash hiders.
Muzzle Breaks work by throwing expanding gasses to the sides of the guns, or in a direction back at the shooter. This prevents all of the force from going back into your shoulder, and thus "Breaks", or reduces the recoil.

It was an AR-50 shooting a 1.5 inch steel plate at 100 yards and the plate was tilted back and to the side. Oddly enough, the shooter was a Marine too.
highnoon3777 4 years ago
wrong, that guy that got hit by a ricochet was firing a .50 cal at an iron plate. at the end they even say, "no more iron' I bet they were trying to see if it would go through an iron plate. too bad that was the most idiotic mistake he ever made and almost ended his life.
lmurtha1 4 years ago
I think you're right. That's odd, because I heard it was steel from a friend of Willey's. He must have just assumed it was steel...although it's possible they meant steel, since steel is 99% iron. Either way, 1.5 inches is pushing it. Of course, if I had a 50 I would be tempted to see what it could shoot through too. :o)

Not every bullet fired will ricochet. With something like the Beowulf, there's going to be enough penetration that the bullets will be buried in that hillside, or will spall when they hit something harder.

alexman18 4 years ago
I'm not sure how to catch a kew word. If you managed to shoot yourself in the shoulder, you must've been doing something stupid, like shooting metal plates too close or something. I've seen a lot of bullets ricochet within a thirty degree constraint, a few dozen up to almost ninety degrees hitting rocks, but never seen one come back towards the shooter if they didn't somehow deserve it.

ur stupid the m82a1 has less recoil theres something called a muzzle that lessen recoil ehh the big ass square then at the end of one ya
Bcboi92 4 years ago
The muzzle break helps with accuracy and muzzle flash dispursion, not so much recoil. The M82 has such a small recoil compaired to other .50BMG guns because the whole barrell moves back an inch, then the bolt gets thrown back a good 6 or 7 inches aganst a fairley stiff spring, reducing recoil signifigantley.
sykop8ntballer 4 years ago
A muzzle brake helps with accuracy and reduces muzzle flash and doesn't reduce recoil? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. A muzzle brake greatly reduces the recoil, and if anything makes the muzzle flash worse!
tehspillah 4 years ago 5
The muzzle brake on a Barrett M82A1 reduces the felt recoil by 60%-70%.
A muzzle brake or compensator reduces recoil.
A flash hider does not reduce recoil.

Yes the 50cal bmg round fired from the barrett is a bigger round with more powder behind it, but the gun also has a directed muzzle break, thick rubber pad on the butt, and springs inside to dampen the recoil, the 50cal beawolf has none of these luxuries, making the preceded recoil much much greater.
