This video from Military Arms Channel empirically compares the muzzle velocity of M855A1 ammunition fired from a 14.5-inch barrel versus a 20-inch barrel. The expert analysis, utilizing a chronograph, demonstrates a significant velocity increase with the longer barrel, providing valuable data for firearm enthusiasts and ballistics researchers. The content highlights the importance of barrel length in achieving optimal performance from specific ammunition types.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of AR500 steel armor versus ceramic armor when subjected to M855A1 and M855 ammunition. The test, conducted by InRangeTV, demonstrates that AR500 steel, despite its reputation for multi-hit capability, was penetrated by M855A1, while a previously tested ceramic plate had stopped this round. Standard M855 rounds caused significant damage to the AR500 plate's coating but did not fully penetrate the steel.

This video delves into the technical evolution and operational history of the M4 carbine, particularly focusing on its adoption by SOCOM and subsequent reliability issues. Expert Chris Bartocci, drawing on his extensive armorer experience, details the M4A1 improvements, the SCAR program's aims, and the development of solutions like the LMT Enhanced BCG and HK416. The discussion also covers the impact of M855A1 ammunition and the controversial Individual Carbine competition.
