This video features retired USMC Col. Craig Boddington reviewing the Kel-Tec SU-16E, a unique sport-utility carbine. The review highlights its lightweight design (4.7 pounds), gas-piston operation, and AR-15-like ergonomics. Boddington examines the right-side reciprocating charging handle, the six-position adjustable CAR-style stock, and the 16-inch barrel with a 1:7-inch twist rate, noting its suitability for stabilizing heavier bullets. The video also demonstrates its performance with Hornady Black 62-grain FMJ ammo, paired with a TruGlo Ignite Mini Compact red dot, concluding it's an affordable, accurate, and reliable 5.56mm NATO carbine.

This AR-15 meat and bone test compares the terminal ballistics of various 5.56mm and .223 Remington loads. Results show significant differences in tissue damage, with hollow points and tumbling bullets like the Hornady Black and Fort Scott Brush Hog causing the most destruction, while M855 Green Tip proved less effective at creating wound channels. Lighter varmint rounds like the Federal Premium Ballistic Tip fragmented extensively.

This "Pros vs. Joes" video from Guns & Ammo TV pits professional shooter Chris Cerino against coordinating producer Jeff Murray in a speed and accuracy challenge. Both competitors use a Springfield Armory Saint Victor rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO, loaded with Hornady Black 62-grain FMJ ammunition.
