This video compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition using gel block testing. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, causing substantial damage to the test setup. The 7.62x39mm round, while also expanding, showed greater penetration, passing through the gel block and the table. The test highlights the different performance characteristics of these popular calibers in terms of tissue damage and penetration.

This gel block test compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO M855 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm Tula ammunition. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and tumbling, while the 7.62x39mm round showed similar width expansion but greater length and penetration. The test highlights the distinct terminal effects of these common rifle calibers.

This video showcases various firearms and shooting experiences, highlighting issues with optic zero retention on a Zastava M76 due to dust cover mounting. It discusses the impact of barrel heat on accuracy and compares different calibers like .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield.

This video details an accuracy test of a Century Arms VSKA rifle using various 7.62x39mm ammunition types at 50 and 100 yards. The reviewer, acknowledging their limitations as a marksman, highlights the challenges of using AK-pattern iron sights for precision shooting due to the wide front sight post. Despite the shooter's self-assessed 'terrible' accuracy, the video provides insights into the performance of Belom, X-Force, New Republic, Tula, and Vympel ammunition, noting general reliability in the VSKA.

This short video highlights a critical ammunition failure observed during a range session. A primer blew out of the case, indicating a potential manufacturing defect in the Tula 9mm ammunition. Such failures can lead to firearm malfunctions and safety concerns.

This entry synthesizes expert analysis from Brandon Herrera and Scott of Kentucky Ballistics on firearm failures and ammunition. It covers the examination of catastrophic failures in .50 caliber rifles, the identification of overpressure indicators like 'tramp stamps' on bolt faces, and the properties of Tula 7.62x39mm ammunition. The content also touches upon the political implications of arming civilians and the risks associated with testing experimental firearms.

This video discusses the US State Department's ban on Russian firearm and ammunition imports, effective September 7th. While acknowledging the immediate market impact and potential for panic buying, the speaker advises a 'wait and see' approach. Key takeaways include the two-year grace period for current importers like Barnaul, Wolf, and Tula, and speculation about American companies filling the void, particularly for calibers like 5.45x39.

The Biden administration has implemented sanctions restricting the permanent importation of Russian firearms and ammunition into the U.S. This policy, effective September 7, 2021, is a response to Russia's alleged use of the Novichok nerve agent. The sanctions are expected to exacerbate existing ammunition shortages and price increases, particularly for affordable brands like Tula and Wolf, as U.S. manufacturers may struggle to fill the gap. The sanctions are set to remain in place for a minimum of 12 months and can only be lifted if Russia meets specific conditions, which the speaker deems unlikely.

This video discusses the Biden administration's ban on the import of Russian-made ammunition and firearms. The speaker, Reno May, explains the significant implications for firearm owners, particularly those who own AK-pattern rifles, due to the reliance on affordable steel-cased Russian ammunition. The ban is expected to drastically increase ammunition prices and reduce availability in the United States.

This video showcases the destructive capabilities of the CMMG Mk47 Mutant chambered in 7.62x39mm, firing in full-auto.
