Photos Cool photo at the BMT lab.

Here is a photo of a .50 BMG being fired from a universal receiver down a 25m indoor range.
This was to test some armour. The time delay camera picks up the action quite well I thought.
For a bit of a review on BMT that I wrote, you can read it here.. BMT lab in Melbourne.

The armour is tested to standards required by the customer. Military or who ever. It depends on the class of armour, what is fired at it. Its all about the safety of the end user. This has been a growth industry over the last ten years as you can imagine.
This lab is working towards developing a large, 6000fps impact load to test fragmentation damage. Now that will be impressive.
The path of the projectile shows up due to the camera settings used.

Cool picture!

I test body armor in-house for a manufacturer here in the States. We've got a 50BMG barrel for our universal receivers, but have never used it.
We recently moved into a new facility and our new ranges should be built up enough for us to break it out. I can't wait.

That receiver mount looks pretty high tech.

Interesting use of a Milling machine, when the head is removed.

Re: Cool photo at the BMT lab.

Thats neat- They are using a milling machine base for the set up. HMMM? Thinking about using a milling table for zeroing and checking tracking etc?

That's the baddest mill I've even seen! Wonder if the power feed is still hooked up.
