This video conducts a gel block test comparing the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant fragmentation and expansion, causing substantial damage to the gel and table. The 7.62x39mm round, while wider, penetrated deeper and maintained more of its mass, exiting the block. The comparison highlights differences in terminal effects between the two common calibers.

Quick Summary

In a gel block test comparing 5.56mm M855 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm Tula ammunition, the 5.56mm round exhibited extreme expansion and fragmentation, causing significant damage. The 7.62x39mm round demonstrated greater penetration depth and retained more mass with less fragmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the terminal ballistic differences between 5.56mm M855 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm Tula ammunition?

In a gel block test, the 5.56mm M855 Green Tip showed extreme expansion and fragmentation, causing significant damage. The 7.62x39mm Tula round was wider and penetrated deeper, retaining more of its mass with less fragmentation, indicating different terminal effects.

Does a suppressor affect the ballistics of a firearm?

According to the video, a suppressor like the Zestavas Evok alters the sound of a shot but does not affect the ballistic performance of the ammunition itself. Its primary function is sound suppression, not altering bullet trajectory or velocity.

Which caliber, 5.56mm or 7.62x39mm, demonstrated more immediate damage in the gel test?

The 5.56mm M855 Green Tip round demonstrated more immediate and dramatic damage, described as 'exploding' upon impact, causing significant fragmentation and table damage. The 7.62x39mm round showed more consistent penetration.

What type of ammunition was used for the 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm lethality comparison?

The video specifically tested M855 Green Tip ammunition for the 5.56x45mm caliber and Tula ammunition for the 7.62x39mm caliber. No special or hollow-point rounds were used, focusing on standard ballistics.
