Bullshit. They're for .22s

Yeah, I've never seen those claim to be for .50. If they do, they are obviously lying, it would demolish those things. Might be fun in the process though.

I bet it can withstand a thousand hits from a .50 cap and ball revolver.

>>32648280
I didn't actually expect them to be magical and for the $45 I payed for both they seem like they'll be adequate but I sincerely fucking doubt it's taking 1000 rounds of 5.56

>>32648283
what is generally meant is self-sealing, like self-sealing tires

>>32648283
it basically closes back up a little instead of just leaving a big hole. It's to increases the times it can be shot.

>>32647979
I had that same issue. A few .308 rounds mangled mine, so we blew it up with Tannerite.

What are you complaining about? They can be shot 1000s of times and still usable. Of course they're gonna show wear.

BTW they more funique to hang and shoot instead of shooting on the ground

>>32647979
I was once shooting my 22 at a old sign in my field and I heard things whizzing by me. What was it? I doubt the soft bullets had enough energy to bounce back.

>>32648945
probably hearing the shots reverberate off things in the background. somewhat like the unique sound you get in a racketball court

>>32648499
by being fucking rubber that returns to its original shape

blood doesn't heal anything, it just clots

I tie mine to a stake with some rope

so they can't go too far

>>32648995
Can lead bullets ricochet straight back at you? I know they'll bounce off at funny angles but I can't see that energy reversing to a backwards motion.

>>32649024
rarely

lead usually just deforms on impact and turns to fragments which CAN reach you but not at a dangerous speed unless your 10 or so feet from the point of impact.

>>32648192

1000 rounds is about what you expect.

But yeah, pistol rounds.

>>32648262
It's generally assumed, and using .50cal without clarifying that you mean something other than .50BMG could be considered dishonest marketing.

>I shot bullets at this thing that now has holes in it!

>>32649024
I knew one guy who shot at a treed cougar and apparently hit a branch that bounced the bullet back into his leg. It didn't penetrate too much -- he was able to pull it out with his fingers -- but it hurt like hell.

>>32647979

Just freeze yourself some big ice cubes to shoot. Unless you live in the desert water should be plentiful.

I think the fine print is that it depends on the distances. It's just like AR500 targets. You don't 5.56 at a 3/8 plate unless it's over 100 yards away, less you get pock marks (also dependant on load and bullet type, but general rule of thumb).

>>32649515
Someone get one of these and shoot it with .50 ae.

>>32649977

I will shoot one with a 500 S&W tomorrow.

I have a couple of these that I received as gifts. They are fun to shoot because they skip along the ground. They are pretty durable. Of course they show pockmarks, you're putting holes in them. They are reasonably durable and self-sealing is not inaccurate.

>>32648192
Maybe DemolitionRanch can shoot them with one of his .50BMG rifles

>>32649648

My daughters fifty meter target. Just an old frypan she shoots .22 LR at.

One day I'll tell her about shooting from the prone position, maybe when she is twelve.

>>32647979
Your problem is that 5.56 is designed to wound. 50BMG is an anti material round, it would pass through that like it wasn't even there.

>tfw fun stores full of cool reactive targets and shit to shoot
>local range only allows paper
>land is fuckign expensive

Fuck this gay earth. One day I'll own some land and I'll build a huge, beautiful shooting range. I'll bump fire and shoot fruits and cans and steel.

Yeah, they're fun and cheap, cant go wrong. I suspend/hang mine . Not as fun as steel, but I don't have a hickock45 setup, yet.

>>32648721
what were you shooting this with? I have several holes blown straight through and edges fucked up with significantly less rounds through mine than yours, and 5.56 is an intermediate rounds

>>32650918
That's everything Ive got thrown at it; 17hmr, 22lr, 22wmr, 380, 9mm, 38, 45, 44, 556, 270, 7mm, and 300wm.

Probably most of it is 9 an 22, but hell, you'll still have a target after 1000rds even if it was all the 44mag.

Hollow/soft point ammo will tear bigger holes in these targets tho.

But Im sure 1000 50bmg strikes on this target it would not hold up, but that's like $2500 worth of ammo on a $25 target.

With 556 you'll get you money worth, don't worry about it.

How about shoot it 1000x with your 5.56 and document it. If it doesn't hold up, then complain.

>>32648945
Keep it up. If you catch a ricochet, then you will know.

If it is self healing wont it just close up where you tried to put the rope and fall off?

>>32653047
There's 1 hole made in it from the mold, it's the way they hang them in a store and put the lable on.
You can use string or zip ties.

>>32653047
top fucking kek

>>32648298
That would probably fuck it more than jacketed .50 BMG

These things only last when you shoot high velocity, non-fragmenting projectiles through them.

>>32650343
Yeah, nah. You're a cunt.

>>32648499
Manual says you have to soak it in blood every full moon, so, I guess it doesn't?

>>32648432
This. Making golf balls dance is one of my favorite things to do when shooting.

>>32649024
Don't shoot hard and concave objects. A classic example is repeatedly shot steel plates that deform from powerful bullet impacts.

>>32654950
Are potentially lethal ricochets common enough to worry about or is it like less likely than getting raped while being struck by lightning?

>.50 caliber

CLEARLY by that they meant 1k rounds of .50 BMG Raufoss, not a .50 caliber black powder pistol

This ones on you buddy.

>>32652836
it is though.

its supposed to tumble or yaw after hitting a target, delivering more energy and increasing the size of the wound channel.

and it also happens to be why its better than 9mm in buildings and urban environments

>>32649024
>Can lead bullets ricochet straight back at you?

Yes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QokV7HzJhG4

And if you wan to be picky kinetic energy is a scalar, it doesn't have a direction.

So let's hope >>32650482 has supplied the family with good eye protection.

>>32654975
>delivering more energy

If you want to maximise the energy dump, put a bullet proof vest (that your round can't defeat) on the target.

See, energy can be lost form the bullet in a lot of different ways, many of which do nothign to wound the target. Lost as friction heat the energy of a .50BMG round will heat your guts less than a cup of coffee. This makes energy dump a worthless measure of wounding potential.

>and increasing the size of the wound channel.

This on the other hand is actual damage done. That's what you should be looking for.

And you don't design weapons of war to wound but not kill. You design them to do damage. If this wounds or kills matters little, as long as it does enough damage to produce casualties.

Now that will tend to produce weapons with a not so huge chance of killing, because once you have your casualty, it'd be wasted effort to do mroe damage simply to increase the chance of killing. Better to have more bullets/mines/whatever instead then than to make those you have more powerful. All of that without "not killing, just wounding" ever being a goal the designer pursued at all.

>>32654964
keep your plates at an angle so bullets are deflected in a safe direction

Name: Self Healing Targets

Item #: SCP-4155

Object Class: Safe

Description:

Self Healing Targets are an SCP made phenomenon resulting from the study and breakthroughs gained from other SCP items including a direct cross versilizstion of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Currently in production by a front company known as "The Do-All" corporation run out of a SCP safehouse in Nashville Tennessee, Self Healing targets are one of the many products that help fund other SCP foundation projects, including but not limited to The IDPP (Inter-Demensional Polarization Project) and the construction of the new Io base station.

Self Healing Targets are marketed to the firearms and outdoor sporting community as targets capable of absorbing "1000's" of hits from various conventional civilian available small arms.

Self Healing Targets are enviromentally safe and produce no SCP related detrius when half life degredation begins to occur, which is estimated to be 150-200 years from ToP (Time of Production)

(Note to marketing dept. -Hey guys, you might want to cool it with the "1000's" of rounds and 50 cal claims, It pisses off consumers and retards who dont understand the difference between 50cal and 50 bmg and we dont want anyone looking to deeply into the "Do-All" corp)

>>32655003
>And you don't design weapons of war to wound but not kill.

wounds do kill, just because the guy thats said 556 is designed to wound doesnt understand that better wounds equal faster kills and thinks that 223 isnt supposed to be lethal doesnt mean that isnt what its supposed to do

>>32653047
You are a very special kind of stupid

>>32654987

Deformation of a lead bullet and tendency to fracture for harder lead is going to make it much less likely to ricochet towards the shooter when shooting hard targets. I only point this out because that guy specifically said lead bullet, you specifically quoted lead bullet, and then you posted someone shooting a 50 BMG and while 50 BMG lead bullet molds do exist it is highly unlikely he is using one.

Anyone shooting at steel targets catches fragments on occasion, but you are much more likely to get some fragments blow back at you from jacketed rounds than you are lead bullets. It is not generally a danger either way though so long as you wear eyepro.

>>32654933

It was partially a joke. I shot about 240 rounds today but probably only 100 more at these guys. I do want to buy one fresh and just mag dump 500rds at once and see what happens though.

>>32658058

Shooting a bit atm, I will tonight or will make a reloading thread.

Fell down and sprained both thumbs and tendons in my palm two weeks ago so I can't shoot it a lot right now. I have to wear gloves for most anything at the moment or it hurts like hell.

>>32647979
Do you see how there aren't any see through holes? hmmm I guess that's because the self healing did what self healing targets do.

the hole at the top of the cube in OP is straight through. There are more now in both of them and the sphere has a few split ridges, the latter is definitely going to split huge chunks off soon.

>>32654966
Hahaha. Dubs demands

>>32648283
From the looks of the pitures in this thread, it looks like it works the same way as self-sealing tanks: a solvent is released when the structure is damaged, causing the surrounding polymer to swell up.

>>32658676
I think it just depends on the impact. The sphere and some corners if the cube are blown out pretty well and there are some straight perforations.

>>32658541
That hole is this

You're right. There is only one perfect circle hole on each. The sphere is still fucked up off probably ~70rounds total, and that's just fired at, so probably 50rounds. Next week will be the true test though, I'll run a few hundred rounds at just one of them.

unrelated to OP but this is dry, sandy dirt. All of the dirt endemic to this region is dry sand, but some combination of the light snow dusting and heat from kinetic energy or something seems to have fused this layer to the rubber. I tried to brush it off, it's fairly well on there.
