The 8.6 Blackout significantly outperforms the .338 ARC in barrier penetration, demonstrating superior performance against concrete and mild steel. Its 1:3 twist rate enables impressive bullet expansion and wound cavities, especially with subsonic loads, while the .338 ARC struggles in these areas. The 8.6 Blackout also benefits from standard AR-10 magazine compatibility, offering higher capacity than the .338 ARC's reliance on .400 Legend magazines.
This video tests the bullet resistance of an Easton Cyclone aluminum baseball bat against various calibers. While it withstands 12 gauge birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm rounds with only dents or entrance holes, it is penetrated by a 5.56x45mm round. The test highlights the bat's surprising durability against smaller calibers but its limitations against rifle rounds.
