Anyone have a clue how well the .50AE performs when shooting at body armor?

depends on the armor... kevlar vrs. ballistic plates vrs. etc...
also depends on the gun firing...
but i'd imagine that it would feel like getting hit with a big chunk of steel going really fast, no matter what your wearing... neutral

Lets say light kevlar to medium.
DEagle since it's the most common.

NIJ credits level II soft armor with being able to defeat .50AE. [source]Level IIA is the lightest armor worth making, though I've seen Level I for sale (dirt ******** cheap). Level II is the minimum required to stop .22WMR and x25TOK. It's not until you hit IIIB that you hit hard armors. IIA is still concealable.

Maddness91 and why do u want to know this? u going cop killing? or is there some rapper u don;t like? neutral Why would that be the first thing you thought of when the question was asked? One can't ask a random hypothetical question anymore? How much do you have to compensate to hit a target 1000 yards away with a 55-grain ball .223?

One can't ask a random hypothetical question anymore? How much do you have to compensate to hit a target 1000 yards away with a 55-grain ball .223? Twenty-five feet will get you on-target, or damn near. Not even kidding. 41 clicks for 77gr. at 600 yards, 1/2MOA each, makes 20.5 MOA, times six inches is ten feet, three inches. Add a bit for the accelerated drop in the second almost-half and a touch more for being a 55-er, call it times two, and extra five feet just... FEELS right to me. Hard to say why, it's just that feeling. As a note though, you'll never hit anything with a 55. Shooting 77's or 80's is pushing it, I wouldn't trust anything less than 90 to get there, because of wind.

ArmasTermin Well I'd never even try to shoot that far with a 55-grain .223, it was just a random hypothetical question. really pushing the "hypothetical question" line xp i like that xd i think it;s a valid question... shooting at body armor kind of denotes shooting at a body... but it's just a question rolleyes @Man of the Demoneye: if ur in this thread, this is prolly why i'm the liberal douche bag of this guild xd

anyone know what the old flak vests are rated?
I wore one throughout half of my basic training before getting an IBA and I wanna know how vulnerable I was during live fire sequences
I know for damn sure a 5.56 would go straight through

So a .50 AE isn't going to affect common body armor that well when you shoot it through a DEagle at 10 feet?

I wore one throughout half of my basic training before getting an IBA and I wanna know how vulnerable I was during live fire sequences I know for damn sure a 5.56 would go straight through How they're rated, or how they perform? They're rated "haha you expect what?", but Sierra bought one and found a .45 Golden Sabre lodged in the chest. @Maddness: It doesn't just imply shooting at a body, it requires it. Empty body armor is next to useless, as it's got nothing to resist and help catch the round. It doesn't have to be a live body, a human body, or an ORGANIC body, but something's gotta be wearing it. However, it does NOT imply a desire to actually test it, only an interest in how it would turn out.
