This video reviews Guard Dog Armor's new SIC multicurve Level 3+ plates, highlighting their performance against common rifle rounds like M193 and M855, as well as .308 Winchester. The instructor emphasizes their lightweight design (5.3 lbs), multi-curve technology, and excellent spall containment and low backface deformation, making them a high-value option for plate carriers.

This video demonstrates a terminal ballistics test of M855 Green Tip 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition fired from a suppressed AR-15. The test involves shooting the projectile into ballistic gel to observe wound channel characteristics, including temporary and permanent cavities. The instructor, demonstrating high authority, notes the ammunition's availability to civilians despite its reduced military adoption in favor of M855A1.

This comprehensive video from Juicey Media provides an expert-level comparison of 24 different 5.56 suppressors. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details a rigorous testing methodology including bystander sound tests, environmental sound signature analysis, back pressure measurement via frame counting, and flash suppression evaluation under night vision. The video offers valuable data-driven insights for firearm enthusiasts looking to select the best suppressor for their needs.

This video tests the penetration capability of the M855 'Green Tip' 5.56mm round against a steel body armor plate. The test demonstrates that while the M855 round has a steel core, it was unable to penetrate Level 3 Plus A2 steel plates from Armored Republic, which had previously withstood 9mm and .45 ACP rounds. The test also included a soda bottle behind the armor to check for fragmentation.

This video investigates allegations that the ATF is stockpiling ammunition that it seeks to ban for civilian use. The speaker presents evidence from FOIA requests and audit reports, suggesting the agency retains large quantities of rounds like the M855 green tip for 'testing' and 'classification' while simultaneously advocating for their restriction. The content highlights concerns about government hypocrisy, lack of transparency, and potential overreach in regulating firearm accessories.

This video from Guns You Can't Live Without explains the causes and impacts of ammunition scarcity and perceived bans, focusing on 5.56x45mm NATO rounds.
