This video explores the 7N6 'poison bullet,' a 5.45x39mm round designed for the AK-74. It details how its steel penetrator core, combined with unique geometry, causes extreme tumbling and yaw on impact, creating a large wound channel without fragmentation, thus technically avoiding classification as a prohibited expanding bullet under the Geneva Conventions. The video contrasts its performance with standard 5.45x39mm and 5.56 NATO rounds using ballistics gelatin and water jug tests, highlighting its effectiveness but also noting its corrosive nature and potential availability/price issues.

This video compares the penetration capabilities of M855 'green tip' and XM193 5.56 NATO ammunition when fired at a tree. The test utilized a POF P415 Edge rifle with an AAC suppressor. The M855 ammunition, identified by its steel core via a magnet test, demonstrated a difference in penetration compared to standard XM193 FMJ rounds.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO green tip steel core ammunition against a half-inch steel beam. The test utilized a POF 415 Edge rifle and Independence 62-grain green tip rounds. One shot successfully penetrated the steel, while another did not, suggesting variability in performance or impact points.

This video provides an expert breakdown of 5.56mm Green Tip (M855) ammunition versus standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) rounds. CajunBoyJake, a knowledgeable enthusiast, details the internal construction differences, highlighting the steel penetrator in M855 rounds and explaining how material hardness (Mohs and Brinell scales) affects penetration capabilities against hard targets. The video emphasizes that M855 rounds are often termed 'armor-piercing' due to their enhanced penetration.

This video from AyoItsMike delves into the common debate surrounding 5.56 Green Tip (M855) versus standard 5.56 FMJ (M193) ammunition. While the green tip is often perceived as superior due to its steel core penetrator, the speaker suggests it may offer minimal practical advantage for typical range use, questioning if the difference is merely cosmetic. The content highlights a common discussion point within the firearms community regarding ammunition performance and perceived value.

This entry details the differences between M855 'Green Tip' and M193 5.56x45mm ammunition, drawing on insights from a firearms instructor with Marine Reserve experience. It covers projectile weight, velocity, core composition, and their respective performance characteristics against various targets, including body armor and steel. The information is crucial for understanding appropriate applications and potential risks in scenarios ranging from range practice to self-defense.

This video demonstrates an experimental test of the Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG against a line of fire extinguishers. The content showcases the rifle's loading mechanism, the characteristics of the .50 BMG ammunition used, and the projectile's significant penetration power. The test concludes with an assessment of the damage inflicted on the targets, highlighting the destructive capability of the .50 caliber round.
