This video tests German AM 32 blue training ammunition in a Century Arms C308 rifle. The ammunition is primarily plastic with a metal base, designed for high velocity (4000-5000 fps) and short-range accuracy. Testing revealed significant cycling issues without a specific HK training bolt, and accuracy degraded rapidly past 50 yards, with a 7-inch group at 100 yards.

What is German AM 32 blue ammo?

German AM 32 is a plastic-cased training ammunition designed for firearms like the Heckler & Koch HK91. It features a plastic bullet and case, with a metal base for extraction, and is intended for high-velocity, short-range use.

What are the expected performance characteristics of AM 32 blue ammo?

AM 32 ammo uses fast-burning powder to propel a lightweight plastic bullet at velocities between 4,000 and 5,000 feet per second. It's designed for accuracy up to 100 yards, mimicking standard NATO rounds' point of impact.

What issues were encountered when testing AM 32 ammo in a Century Arms C308?

Without a specific HK training bolt, the Century Arms C308 failed to cycle automatically with the AM 32 blue ammo. Manual extraction and feeding were required for each shot, indicating a need for specialized firearm modifications.

How accurate is the AM 32 blue training ammunition?

Accuracy tests showed the AM 32 blue ammo produced a group of approximately 2.9 inches at 50 yards. However, accuracy degraded significantly to a 7-inch group at 100 yards, suggesting the rounds may tumble past 50 yards.
