Frequently Asked Questions

How many landscape tiles can Wolf 5.56x45mm 55-grain ammunition penetrate from an 11.5-inch barrel AR-15?

In a test conducted at 50 yards, Wolf 5.56x45mm 55-grain ammunition fired from an 11.5-inch barrel AR-15 was able to penetrate and shatter multiple landscape tiles. The first shot took out two tiles, while subsequent shots typically penetrated one tile at a time, with a total of five tiles being broken down over four shots.

What are the key components of the 11.5-inch barrel AR-15 used in the landscape tile penetration test?

The AR-15 build featured an 11.5-inch BCM lightweight profile barrel, an Aero Precision S1 handguard, a Faction Chameleon bolt carrier group, a Vortex Spitfire AR1x prism scope, and an SBA3 brace. It also included a YHM Turbo sound suppressor and a JP Silent Captured Spring.

Is hearing protection necessary when shooting an AR-15 with a YHM Turbo suppressor?

Yes, hearing protection is still recommended. While the YHM Turbo suppressor is described as hearing safe at the muzzle, the noise generated by the cycling of the AR-15's bolt carrier group can still be significant and potentially damaging to hearing.

What was the observed performance of Wolf 5.56x45mm 55-grain ammunition upon impacting landscape tiles?

Upon impact with landscape tiles, the Wolf 5.56x45mm 55-grain ammunition demonstrated significant fragmentation. The projectile broke apart, causing extensive damage to the tiles rather than passing through them cleanly.
