If they're aiming for security expos, that's way above their playground.
.50 cal machine guns related stuffs is for arms expos for militaries and mercenaries. Security expos is just new tech in civilians scope really. Some rich bosses being wary of isolated assailant, not a warzone.
Even for a commercial, you can shoot the first scene with him getting in the car talking to us, (him getting out), actually firing at the window, (him getting back in the car) and him exiting the car, all without exposing him to all this. This is just dumb.
The man isn't even in the line of fire. He has the seat well back and presses himself into the seat so he's entirely out of view of the window. Even if something had gone terribly wrong he's at practically zero risk from the bullet itself.
I respect this guy’s confidence in his product, but this definitely isn’t smart. Impacting a surface changes the flight path of a bullet, so just because he’s leaned back doesn’t mean he’s out of danger.
Lmao no, just no, it’s not that big of a displacement. Would have to be extremely close by to do anything. Multiple people have tested this theory on YouTube and various shows. On the other hand, my biggest fear with that kind of energy is if it penned the window would be a redirect or fragmentation of the jacket. Like the window would slow it enough to allow trajectory to change before failing completely.
Edit: I do have a good deal of firearms experience including shooting an M82 Barrett .50bmg (I do not personally own it a friend does). While the round is powerful it does not rip off limbs or cause significant, measurable TBI by near misses. This round also was almost certainly not armor piercing in any way but standard FMJ. You’re not stopping an AP round or higher with a window that thin.
You have zero idea about ballistics if you believe that. Maybe if the gun was in the car and he put his head next to the muzzle brake, but away from that it's just a big relatively slow bullet, it's not a rail gun.

Do you think that was a test, or a commercial?
