This video from Regular Guy Training LLC details the concept behind the Rare Breed FRT-15L3, aiming for enhanced capability on a general-purpose rifle. The focus is on reliability testing with common, low-power ammunition like PMC Bronze and Wolf Military Classic, using a specific AR-15 configuration (carbine gas, H2 buffer, chrome silicon spring). The speaker, a professional firearms instructor, emphasizes that failure to cycle such ammunition would render the rifle unsuitable as a training tool, highlighting practical, real-world application over theoretical performance.
This video from Buckeye Ballistics analyzes the performance of PMC Bronze .44 Special 180 Grain JHP ammunition. The test revealed that despite the advertised 980 FPS muzzle velocity, the JHP bullet failed to expand in ballistic gel, achieving 20 inches of penetration and acting like a solid projectile. The speaker, an experienced ballistic tester, notes the limited wound cavity due to the lack of expansion.
