The description is direct and dismissive of potential criticism regarding the methodology.
This expert-level analysis from 1ShotTV compares the M855A1 and M855 Green Tip 5.56mm rounds through extensive ballistic gel and hard barrier testing. The M855A1 demonstrates significantly superior soft target performance with extensive fragmentation and a large wound cavity, while also performing well through a steel barrier. The M855 Green Tip shows less fragmentation and a more 'hole-punching' effect. The M855A1 is identified as the more impressive round, though its over-penetration makes it unsuitable for certain home defense scenarios.
This video appears to test the ballistic resistance of Level 3A+ armor against multiple rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition.
