Videos tagged with Plastic Ammunition

This video demonstrates the impact of blue plastic .308 practice ammunition on a 1997 Dodge Ram truck. The ammunition, described as traveling at high velocities, was tested against various truck components including the door, window, gas cap, taillight, mirror, bumper, and steering wheel. The presenter notes the ammunition's surprising effectiveness in causing damage despite being practice rounds.

This review examines 'blue ammo,' a high-velocity training round, testing its performance in a Spanish Mouser chambered in 7.62x51mm. The ammunition achieves an impressive 4533 ft/s with minimal recoil, despite being louder than standard cartridges. The video details the unique construction of the plastic ammunition, including its melted-on bullet and fast-burning powder, and explains how it necessitates a different bolt assembly for semi-automatic cycling in firearms like the C308.

This video provides an expert-level evaluation of German-made AM 32 Blue Training Ammunition, tested with a Century Arms C308 rifle. The instructor, Deuce, details the ammunition's plastic construction, expected high velocity (4000-5000 fps), and performance characteristics. He highlights that standard firearms may require specific bolts for proper cycling with this type of training round and presents empirical accuracy data, noting a 2.9-inch group at 50 yards and a significant degradation to a 7-inch group at 100 yards, suggesting potential tumbling. The instructor's high authority level is evident through his use of precision tools and understanding of firearm mechanics.
