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 provides a quick test of Independence 9mm 115 Grain Hollow Point ammunition. The reviewer purchased this ammunition on sale for $10.99 per 50 rounds, noting it as potentially the cheapest hollow point available. Testing was conducted using a Ruger P94, comparing the hollow points against Full Metal Jacket rounds through milk jugs and plywood to observe expansion and penetration.

This guide details a ballistic test conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, a recognized firearms personality, to determine the penetration capabilities of a 5.56mm round through Optix acrylic plastic. The experiment involved setting up a target of approximately 25 spaced acrylic sheets followed by a dense block of 10 sheets. The results show that while a 5.56 round can penetrate a significant number of spaced sheets, its trajectory can deviate, and it ultimately fails to penetrate a dense stack of 10 sheets, suggesting a limit of around 25-30 sheets for this caliber and setup.
