  1. And they said 7.62×39 (AK47) is stronger than 5.56 (AR15) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚โ€ฆ Iโ€™m sticking with AR15. Got two already Iโ€™m getting more in the future.

  2. Fruit is not a good comparison, people or animals have bone and varying tissues.
    You want a good comparison? Go buy some whole uncooked chickens and shoot those. I already know the result, the 7.62×39 destroys the chicken, while the 5.56 leaves it more intact.

    Fruit is not ideal for comparing bullets because youโ€™re prob not going to see all the energy dump into it. Fruit isnโ€™t as dense as living things and lack bones, obviously.

  3. Try a 20 inch barrel 762 not a chance straight through is the best thing that can ever have better then a 556 at a 800 yards with a 20 inch 762 at 800 yards
    I pick 762 because the impact on body armour is PAINFUL being shot from one at Afghanistan with a level 4 full body armour vs a 556 being shot at u the pain is ALOT DIFFERENT i seen a big monster Taliban take a 556 with a us marine level 4 vest probably stole he tanked it like a champ
    But when firing a 20 inch mk2 762 sniper to the vest that hoes kids flash before his eyes man took a big hit from a 762 20 inch vs that 20 inch 556

    762 may not penetrate but it may knock the FUCK out a 250 pound muscle man taliban
    over a 556 to the chest

    Not to mention the bullet drop on it but that range with a 762 at 1000 yards full auto is a good capability

  4. I think watermelons must have a higher water content so thereโ€™s more hydrostatic shock happening. Cantaloupes seem like better fruits to compare bullets though. You can see which ones penetrate and which ones tumble. Also the difference when you got up to the 270 and higher was pretty awesome.

  5. 762 is great but there is a good reason Russia made the 545 and why china would adopt their own 5.8 variant.
    Obviously, 556 isn't without its own limitations too. The real draw for 556, aside from speed, is its fragmentation.
    Although, without an appropriate-length barrel (20in preferably, anything less than 16in is getting bad fast), performance suffers drastically.
    Also: 545 > 556 ๐Ÿ˜›

  6. Hey man, I have a possible video Idea. Would you consider doing a velocity test of m193 from different companies like winchester, American eagle, etc? I feel like m193 has been watered down a lot.

  7. 7.62×39 fmj just cant transfer that energy non solid target like that.
    But when it comes to hunting i think it will do more consistent damage to target
    than 223/5.56 which will either pass trough or blow up depending does it
    have speed to tumble or not.

    But in reality it comes to what you hunt and do you want eat it afterwards.
    Little pests which you are not gonna eat then 5.56 because why not.
    For deer and similiar size of game i think 7.62 will perform overally better
    when there is actually mass to take that energy.

  8. 5.56 may initially look captivating, initial impact.
    However, 7.62×39 begins to show its worth after 6-8inches… past that point, the projectile begins to tumble/yaw & reveal the desired damage, outcome.
    Plenty of YouTube vids that show this when ballistic gel & FBI protocol is used.
    ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  9. Love it dude ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ In the name of science, I think the cantaloupes are the bees knees showing comparison. ๐Ÿงช The Anderson and Bear Creak Arsenal are holding it down.

    That .270 FMJ is nasty
