This video features an unboxing and initial testing of an LMT Defense R20 RAHE rifle, received from East Valley Tactical. The presenter notes the rifle was supplied with green tip ammunition and demonstrates a rapid firing sequence, emptying a full magazine to test its shooting speed.

This review from 3 of 7 Project tests RMA Armament's Threat Level III Alpha Plus ballistic plates. The presenter, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the plates' ability to stop 5.56mm ball and green tip rounds, .308 Winchester, and multiple pistol rounds. The review highlights the plates' lightweight design, integrated padding for comfort, and buoyancy, noting that while not rated for green tip, they still performed impressively against it. RMA Armament's commitment to US manufacturing and specialized designs for female users is also emphasized.

This video explains the potential for ammunition to cause fires, particularly when shooting at steel targets. Standard lead or copper-jacketed rounds are unlikely to ignite fires due to minimal heat transfer. However, steel-core ammunition, like green-tipped rounds, can produce significant sparks upon impact with steel targets, increasing fire risk.

This video clarifies the differences between M193 Ball and SS109 (Green Tip) ammunition, focusing on their compatibility with different barrel twist rates. It explains that M193 (55 grains) is optimized for a 1:12 twist, while SS109 (62 grains with a steel penetrator) requires a faster 1:7 twist for optimal stabilization and accuracy. The instructor debunks the myth that Green Tip ammunition damages chrome-lined barrels, stating that improper ammunition selection for a given twist rate leads to inaccuracy, not barrel damage.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO green tip steel core ammunition against a half-inch steel beam. The test utilized a POF 415 Edge rifle and Independence 62-grain green tip rounds. One shot successfully penetrated the steel, while another did not, suggesting variability in performance or impact points.

This video demonstrates the use of Winchester M855 5.56mm green tip ammunition with a Stag Arms STAG-15 rifle.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of an AR-15 with 223 Green Tip ammunition against a common steering wheel lock. The presenter targets the lock's cylinder, finding that a single shot can compromise its integrity by dislodging the cylinder and internal mechanisms. While one shot can disable it, two shots are shown to definitively break the lock, making it easily removable.

This review of Shot Stop body armor plates highlights their lightweight design and impressive ballistic performance. The speaker, with experience from SEAL Team, demonstrates the plates' ability to stop multiple rifle and pistol rounds, including 5.56mm ball and green tip, and a .308 Winchester round, with no penetration. The review emphasizes the affordability and civilian accessibility of body armor.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of old sunglasses versus actual safety glasses when subjected to ballistic splash from 5.56 Green Tip ammunition fired at a steel target. The experiment highlights that while old sunglasses may offer minimal protection, they are not a reliable substitute for certified eye protection, as they can crack and bulge, showing near-punctures. The instructor emphasizes the importance of using proper safety gear.

This video announces the upcoming completion of "Mt. Gunmore," a significant expansion to the Gun For Hire Range. The expansion includes a total of 44 ports across four ranges. Phase one will feature a large retail area, 15 member-only ports at 25 yards (allowing steel core and green tip ammunition), and 10 ports at 25 yards for renters. The existing 13-port 25-yard range and 6-port 50-yard range will continue to operate. Future phases include two more ranges (steel and tactical), a training area, and a 6,000 sq ft cigar lounge with simulators.

This video provides a first-time shooting review of a brand new Ruger Mini-14 chambered in 5.56 NATO. The reviewer, James from Cranky Gun Reviews, details his decision to trade an AR-15 for the Mini-14, citing a preference for its traditional aesthetics and smooth action. He shares his initial impressions after firing both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition at 50 and 100 yards, noting his satisfaction with the rifle's performance despite not zeroing it.
