Frequently Asked Questions

What was the surprising result of the 5-inch vs 16-inch barrel AR-15 test?

The test revealed that the projectile from the 5-inch barrel expanded perfectly in ballistic gel, while the projectile from the 16-inch barrel fragmented due to excessive velocity, a surprising outcome for the shorter barrel.

What firearm was used with the 5-inch barrel in the test?

The 5-inch barrel firearm used was the CMMG Dissent, notable for its bufferless operating system which allows for a compact design.

What ammunition was used for the ballistic gel test?

The test utilized Colt Defense hollow point ammunition, specifically Double Tap Hollow Points, fired into Clear Ballistics gel blocks.

How did the projectiles perform differently based on barrel length?

The 5-inch barrel's projectile achieved perfect expansion, whereas the 16-inch barrel's projectile fragmented. This suggests the shorter barrel might offer more controlled velocity for certain ammunition types.
