Rifle Range Ammo Becomes Duty Ammo in WROL
This video argues that longer barrels, specifically 18-20 inches, are superior for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition in WROL (When the Rule of Law is Gone) scenarios. The speaker, identifying as an average 20-inch rifle enjoyer and drill sergeant, emphasizes that velocity is critical for 5.56's lethality, and shorter barrels like those on AR pistols (e.g., 10.5-inch Mark 18s) fail to achieve sufficient velocity with common 55-grain ammunition. This results in poor terminal ballistics unless precise vital hits are made. A longer barrel maximizes velocity, leading to better performance and more forgiving shot placement.
