Videos tagged with Supersonic Velocity

This video tests the effectiveness of suppressing the 17 Horn Magnum Ring Fire cartridge. The instructor hypothesizes that due to the round's supersonic velocity and muzzle blast, suppression will be poor. The test utilizes a Volquartsen VT2 rifle equipped with a suppressor to evaluate this theory, noting the significant noise level even with hearing protection.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the suppression capabilities of the .17 HMR cartridge using a Volquartsen VT2 rifle. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, explains the ballistics of the .17 HMR, noting its supersonic velocity and relationship to the .22 Magnum. The test confirms that due to the inherent sonic crack, the .17 HMR is not an ideal candidate for quiet suppression, even with a suppressor attached.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the 224 Valkyrie cartridge, comparing it to the 223 Remington/5.56 NATO. The instructor, with apparent deep knowledge of ballistics and firearm mechanics, discusses the cartridge's design origins, its intended purpose for competitive and long-range shooters, and the trade-offs involved with using heavier bullets and faster twist rates. He emphasizes the importance of understanding how advertised ballistics are achieved, particularly concerning barrel length and powder burn rates, and cautions against accepting marketing claims at face value without personal application.
