This comprehensive evaluation of Malaysian L2A2 7.62x51mm ammunition, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, delves into its historical origins, manufacturing details, and performance characteristics. The review highlights the ammunition's adherence to NATO-style specifications, its production by SMEO through an international joint venture, and its technical components. Performance data, including average bullet weight and muzzle velocity, is presented with statistical analysis, offering a technical comparison to other 7.62x51mm variants.
This guide details a test comparing the impact of TulAmmo 5.56x45mm and M193 ammunition on AR500 steel targets. The test, conducted by Karl Kasarda from InRangeTV, reveals that TulAmmo, with its zinc-washed bimetal jacket, causes significantly less damage (shallow pockmarks) than M193, which features a copper jacketed lead core and creates deeper craters. The expert emphasizes strict adherence to range safety rules, particularly regarding safe distances for engaging steel targets, based on a decade of observation in competitive shooting matches.
