This video from American Outlaw provides an expert perspective on 5.56 NATO ammunition, specifically debunking the effectiveness of 55-grain FMJ for self-defense. The speaker, demonstrating high authority, explains that this load is primarily for practice and lacks the necessary expansion or fragmentation for reliable stopping power in a defensive scenario. He emphasizes the importance of barrel length, noting that 55-grain FMJ requires a 20-inch barrel to fragment effectively, while shorter barrels are inefficient. The video recommends heavier, specialized loads for defensive applications.
