Duration: 3:39

This video presents a comparative penetration test between 7.62x54R ammunition fired from a Mosin Nagant and .22LR hollow-point ammunition from a GSG 22. The test utilizes six water-filled milk jugs as the medium. While both calibers demonstrated significant penetration, the 7.62x54R showed a more decisive result by completely separating the caps from the jugs, suggesting greater terminal energy transfer.

Quick Summary

A penetration test compared 7.62x54R from a Mosin Nagant against .22LR hollow-point from a GSG 22, using six water-filled milk jugs. Both calibers penetrated all jugs, but the 7.62x54R's impact was more visually evident, blowing off jug caps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were used in the milk jug penetration test?

The penetration test featured a Mosin Nagant rifle chambered in 7.62x54R and a GSG 22 rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. Both firearms were used to fire ammunition into water-filled milk jugs to compare penetration capabilities.

What ammunition calibers were compared in the penetration test?

The video compares the penetration power of 7.62x54R ammunition, fired from a Mosin Nagant, against .22 Long Rifle ammunition, specifically a hollow-point round from a GSG 22. The test aimed to see which caliber could penetrate through multiple water-filled milk jugs.

What was the outcome of the 7.62x54R vs .22LR milk jug penetration test?

Both the 7.62x54R and the .22LR hollow-point successfully penetrated all six water-filled milk jugs. However, the 7.62x54R rounds visibly blew the caps off the jugs, indicating a more significant impact and energy transfer compared to the .22LR.

What medium was used for the firearm penetration test?

The penetration test utilized six milk jugs filled with water as the ballistic medium. This setup was chosen to provide a consistent and observable target for comparing the penetration capabilities of different ammunition calibers.
