This demonstration by Civilian Tactical showcases the significant terminal ballistic differences between standard 5.45x39mm ammunition and the 7N6 'poison bullet'. Through ballistic gelatin testing, the video illustrates how the 7N6 round's design causes immediate tumbling and yaw, leading to a dramatic energy dump and a much larger wound cavity compared to the standard round. The instructor's expertise is evident in the controlled testing and clear explanation of the observed phenomena.

This video revisits the Vepr 5.45x39 meltdown test using genuine 7N6 military surplus ammunition for a true service performance evaluation. The test culminates in a catastrophic barrel rupture near the gas block after 1,491 rounds, demonstrating the extreme durability of the RPK-style heavy barrel. Analysis confirms the projectile exited the side of the barrel, highlighting the violent nature of the failure.

This video tests the performance of Hornady 75 gr Steel Case Match ammunition in a windstorm. The reviewer shoots using their modified TNP SPR #2 rifle, with the wind being strong enough to damage the target holder. Despite the challenging conditions, the results might be surprising, suggesting the ammunition's capabilities are being evaluated under adverse circumstances.
