This video from Civilian Tactical provides a detailed look at the terminal ballistics of the 7N6 5.45x39mm round, often nicknamed the 'poison bullet'. Through controlled testing with ballistic gelatin, the host demonstrates how the unique design of the 7N6 round causes it to tumble rapidly upon impact, leading to a significant energy dump and a much larger wound cavity compared to standard 5.45x39mm ammunition. The expert-level demonstration highlights the effectiveness of this military surplus round.

This video explains why commercial .223 ammunition is often significantly slower than 5.56 NATO, primarily due to differences in advertised barrel lengths and powder optimization. The instructor highlights that velocities below 2,400 fps can reduce a round's effectiveness. He advises using higher-quality 5.56 for zeroing and cheaper .223 for training.

This video provides an expert-level ballistics gel test of 5.45x39 7N6 ammunition fired from a short-barreled rifle (SBR'd Krink) with an 8.5-inch barrel. The presenter, Mrgunsngear, demonstrates extensive experience with this ammunition, detailing its consistent tumbling behavior and penetration depth in FBI-spec gel. The test includes chronograph readings and visual evidence of the bullet's terminal performance, highlighting why 7N6 is known for its effectiveness.

This video details a ballistics gel test of Red Army Standard 5.45x39 69gr FMJ ammunition. The test reveals the round's tendency to tumble violently after initial penetration, creating a significant wound cavity and achieving approximately 15.5 inches of penetration in gel. The ammunition is noted for being non-corrosive, heavy for caliber, and reliable in various firearms, with no keyholing observed at 50 meters.

This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test and review of Red Army Standard 7.62x39 123gr FMJ ammunition. The test, conducted using an AK 103, reveals significant penetration and tumbling characteristics, with the bullet exiting the gel block at 31 inches. The presenter notes the bullet's retained weight and its failure to flatten or deform significantly, hypothesizing a thicker jacket. While accuracy was moderate, the terminal performance is deemed typical for Russian FMJ rounds.
