Videos tagged with M855

This video from Guns Blazing Ranch provides a direct comparison between 5.56mm M193 and M855 'green tip' ammunition. Demonstrations show the significant difference in penetration power against a cinder block, with M855 exhibiting superior destructive capability. The content highlights practical differences relevant to firearm enthusiasts.

Elliott Delp reviews the Global Ordnance 15 Upper, highlighting its monolithic barrel construction for improved reliability and an integrated suppressor mount. Accuracy testing revealed it performs as a General Purpose Rifle, with the best group at 1.68 inches using Hornady V-Max 55gr. The inclusion of an adjustable BCG and suppressor mount at an $800 MSRP offers significant value for a reliable 'fighting rifle' setup.

Garand Thumb's expert analysis debunks myths about 5.56x45mm NATO lethality from short barrels. The video demonstrates through rigorous testing with high-speed cameras and ballistics gel that 5.56 remains highly effective at close to moderate ranges (up to 125 yards) even from barrels as short as 10.3 inches. Both M855 and Hornady BTHP rounds show significant fragmentation and energy transfer, proving their suitability for home defense and tactical scenarios.

This YouTube Shorts video, titled "M855 vs Steel Body Armor", features a comparison test involving M855 ammunition and steel body armor. The description links to a full-length video on the same topic. The content likely demonstrates the effectiveness or limitations of M855 rounds when impacting steel armor plates.

This YouTube video, titled "Projétil M855 (5,56 mm) VS Colete de Aço – O Que Acontece no Impacto?" (M855 Projectile (5.56mm) VS Steel Body Armor - What Happens on Impact?), likely explores the penetration capabilities of M855 ammunition against steel body armor. The title explicitly mentions the caliber and projectile type, and the comparison aspect suggests a test or demonstration focusing on the outcome of this specific ballistic event. The content is expected to be of interest to individuals interested in firearms, ballistics, and personal protection.

This video compares the ballistic performance of an AR-15 with a 10.5-inch barrel versus a 16-inch barrel. The test utilizes M855 FMJ ammunition and 60-grain Nosler Partition rounds fired into clear ballistics gel, with data captured by a chronograph. The description also includes links to the creator's Patreon, merchandise store, and Instagram account, along with music licensing information.

Testing demonstrates that AR500 steel armor's spall coating is effective at containing fragmentation. An uncoated plate showed significant spalling, while a coated plate, especially within a plate carrier, effectively stopped fragments. The plate carrier itself also plays a crucial role in mitigating spalling.

This video investigates allegations that the ATF is stockpiling ammunition, specifically M855 "green tip" rounds, which they are simultaneously seeking to restrict for civilian use. The content explores potential reasons for this alleged hoarding, citing redacted FOIA reports and the concept of hidden warehouses. It frames the issue as a matter of government overreach and control, urging viewers to stay informed about their Second Amendment rights.

This review tests various 5.7x28mm loads for penetration on mild steel and performance in ballistics gel. While most loads failed to penetrate 1/8 inch steel, the SM855 and T6B succeeded. Thicker 3/16 inch steel proved too much for all tested rounds. In gel, the 36 gr GPM and 55 gr Expanding Copper Sub showed favorable performance, with the latter reaching 17 inches of penetration.

This video delves into the evolution and future of the 5.56mm cartridge, comparing historical rounds like M193 and M855 with modern and experimental options like M855A1 and Black Arc's 80.5gr OTM. Ballistic gel tests reveal significant differences in terminal performance, with heavier, specialized rounds like the Sierra Matchking and Black Arc Elite demonstrating superior energy transfer and expansion. The analysis concludes that while 5.56mm has limitations, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the specific ammunition used and its role in military 'fire and movement' tactics.

This video focuses on essential ammunition types for preppers anticipating SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) scenarios. It highlights 5 key calibers, including the cost-effective .22 LR, the widely used 5.56mm and 7.62mm rounds, and discusses specific loads like CCI Mini-Mags and 124-grain 9mm. The content also touches on the benefits of M855 'green tip' over M193, aiming to guide viewers in building a practical and cost-efficient ammo stockpile for long-term crisis preparedness and peace of mind.

This video provides a detailed, no-fluff review of the Centurion Arms 14.7" CHF Chrome-Lined Barrel, a duty-grade AR-15 component. The analysis includes bench inspection, borescope examination, and range testing with three different ammunition types (PMC X-TAC 62gr M855, AAC 75gr BTHP Match, IMI Razor Core 77gr HPBT). The review focuses on performance metrics like velocity, standard deviation, rifle stability (using Mantis X10), group size, and A-ZED scores, aiming to determine if the barrel's design impacts its accuracy and overall effectiveness. The presenter encourages viewer engagement by asking about their own experiences with the barrel.
