This video compares 5.56mm soft point and green tip (M855) ammunition for penetration power. A live fire test using an AR-15 against a steel axe head demonstrated that the green tip rounds significantly outperformed the soft point rounds, creating a deeper impact crater. The results suggest green tip ammunition has superior penetration capabilities.

Yes, in a live fire test against a steel axe head, 5.56mm green tip (M855) ammunition demonstrated significantly superior penetration, creating a deeper crater compared to 5.56mm soft point rounds.

What was used to test the penetration power of 5.56mm ammunition?

The test used a thick steel axe head as the target. Both 5.56mm green tip (M855) and soft point rounds were fired from an AR-15 style rifle to compare their impact.
