Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos Ammunition

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing two .38 Super self-defense ammunition types: Colt Defense (DoubleTap) 124gr JHP and Lehigh Defense 115gr Controlled Fracturing. The test, performed from a Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911, reveals significant differences in terminal performance. The Colt ammunition failed to expand, tumbling and exiting the gel block with no expansion, while the Lehigh ammunition fractured as designed, with its fragments and core achieving substantial penetration and spread.

This expert analysis from Garand Thumb delves into the lethality of .300 Blackout, comparing supersonic and subsonic rounds through rigorous ballistic gel and 'meat target' testing. The video highlights the caliber's versatility for military and law enforcement, emphasizing projectile selection for optimal performance in various scenarios. Instruction is provided by a recognized subject matter expert in tactical firearms.

This video details a rigorous test comparing the impact of 300 PRC ammunition on various steel target plates, including mild steel, AR500, and AR550. The experiment aims to debunk claims about 300 Win Mag damage and demonstrate the resilience of quality steel targets. The instructor emphasizes safety and the importance of using appropriate steel for different calibers and ammunition types.

This video from Banana Ballistics demonstrates the impact of a high-priced .50 BMG round on a substantial 1.125-inch AR500 steel target. The expert-level demonstration shows the round creating a deep indentation but failing to penetrate the armor, highlighting the resilience of quality steel targets against even formidable calibers. The instructor emphasizes safe firearm handling throughout the test.

This video compares the 6MM ARC and 6MM MAX cartridges, highlighting their technical differences, performance, and practical applications. While the 6MM ARC has gained significant traction and military adoption, the 6MM MAX offers potential advantages in AR-15 compatibility due to its use of a standard 5.56 bolt. However, the performance differences are noted as minuscule in real-world scenarios, with availability and existing adoption favoring the 6MM ARC.

This video explores the effectiveness of 5.56 anti-drone rounds as a counter-drone solution, comparing them to traditional shotgun methods. The anti-drone rounds, fired from standard AR-15 platforms, demonstrate superior range and effectiveness in neutralizing drones compared to shotguns. The content highlights the practical advantages of integrating this ammunition into a soldier's loadout for enhanced survivability against the growing drone threat.

This video provides an expert-level overview of a heavily customized AR-15, nicknamed the 'Zombie Destroyer', built for a thematic zombie apocalypse scenario. The build features an extensive accessory loadout including multiple optics, lasers, and flashlights, along with a high magazine capacity. The demonstration includes rapid fire, engagement of Tannerite targets, and unique shooting techniques, showcasing the rifle's capabilities and the instructor's proficiency.

This video details an extreme AR-15 meltdown test, pushing a custom build to its limits. Expert instructor Eric demonstrates the process, highlighting component durability and failure points under sustained fire. The test concludes with a catastrophic barrel failure after 830 rounds, providing valuable insights into the platform's resilience.

This guide details the process of conducting an extreme durability test on an AK-47 variant, specifically the Definitive Arms VEPR, as demonstrated by Iraqveteran8888. The test involves sustained full-auto fire to induce critical heat failure, followed by inspection of components like the barrel and gas block. The expert assessment highlights the rifle's resilience, lasting 895 rounds before failure, and compares its performance to other platforms.

This guide details a 700-round rapid-fire stress test on a Yugo M92 PAP AK-47 variant, demonstrating the platform's legendary durability under extreme heat. Performed by Eric from Iraqveteran8888, the test highlights safe handling of overheated firearms and concludes with a tribute to Mikhail Kalashnikov's engineering legacy. The firearm successfully completed the test despite significant heat buildup.
