[TESTING TUESDAY] Is It Possible For The Internet To Be WRONG?!? Testing The Twist Rate Tale
This video from ARFCOM News debunks the myth that a slower 1:12 twist rate on an M16A1 produces more severe wounds than a faster 1:7 twist rate on an M16A2. Through ballistic gel testing with M193 ammunition, the host, demonstrating expert knowledge, found no significant difference in terminal performance between the two twist rates. The myth is attributed to differences in ammunition types (M193 vs. M855) used with the respective rifle platforms, not the twist rate itself.
