M855 vs. M193: Which 5.56 Round Is The Best?
This video compares M855 and M193 5.56mm ammunition, detailing their history, velocity, and terminal ballistics through gel tests. M855, a 62-grain green tip round, offers better penetration and long-range accuracy but requires faster twist rates. M193, a 55-grain FMJ, is generally more accurate at short ranges and often cheaper, though it shows less penetration. Both are effective military rounds, but superior commercial self-defense options exist.
