This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test and review of Red Army Standard 7.62x39 123gr FMJ ammunition. The test, conducted using an AK 103, reveals significant penetration and tumbling characteristics, with the bullet exiting the gel block at 31 inches. The presenter notes the bullet's retained weight and its failure to flatten or deform significantly, hypothesizing a thicker jacket. While accuracy was moderate, the terminal performance is deemed typical for Russian FMJ rounds.

This video tests Silver Bear 55gr FMJ 223 ammunition in a short-barreled AR-15 using a recycled gel block. The test reveals the bi-metal bullet's construction (soft steel core with copper wash jacket) and zinc-plated cases. While not ideal for self-defense due to minimal deformation and fragmentation, it's considered a viable option for 'SHTF' stashes, demonstrating reliable feeding and significant tumbling in gel, reaching a final depth of 21 inches.
