This demonstration by Civilian Tactical showcases the significant terminal ballistic differences between standard 5.45x39mm ammunition and the 7N6 'poison bullet'. Through ballistic gelatin testing, the video illustrates how the 7N6 round's design causes immediate tumbling and yaw, leading to a dramatic energy dump and a much larger wound cavity compared to the standard round. The instructor's expertise is evident in the controlled testing and clear explanation of the observed phenomena.
This video delves into the controversial 7N6 ammunition, often dubbed the "poisonous" bullet. It examines the Soviet-designed round's construction, terminal ballistics through tests with ballistic gel and water jugs, and compares its performance against standard FMJ ammunition. The content also explores the legality of 7N6, its supposed bypassing of international laws like the Geneva Convention, and debunks myths surrounding its "poisonous" nature. The AK-74 is highlighted as the primary firearm chambered for this round, with a comparison to 5.56mm Green Tip ammunition also featured.
This video provides a detailed comparison of 5.56x45mm NATO and 5.45x39mm cartridges, focusing on their penetration capabilities against mild steel targets.
