Best Overall 5.56/.223 Ammo Anonymous 2016-07-14 01:39:08 Post No. 30612705 [Report] [View this topic]

Assumed variables:
-decently accurate (they pretty much all meet this requirement)
-shot out of a standard length barrel (16inches)
-available everywhere in the US to buy in bulk

M193
>consistently penetrates level 3 body armor
>does not penetrate level 3+ body armor (even with a 22 inch barrel)
>slightly faster

M855
>does not penetrate level 3 or 3+ body armor
>has better performance after penetrating objects like glass/car doors etc
>slightly heavier

Interesting summary video that actually says M855 averaged more FPS than M193:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N3TsZbX5BwI

Starting to think M193 is the best overall 5.56mm ammunition to stock up on, but want to hear /k/'s opinion.

mk262 is probably the best you can buy "in bulk". If you reload the best you could probably do it a 55gr barnes tsx with 25 gr of Varget or Ramshot Tac behind it.

If you just want shit to shot, wolf Gold M193 is pretty hard to beat.

Delete thread and post in /akg/ for AK related questions or in a QTDDTOT thread.

That said CIA Draco or PAP M92. Both are from Century but are assembled from imported parts. So the quality in parts is there but Century build quality can be meh.

Boils down to if you want Yugo furniture or standard krink furniture.

HPR ammo problems, so I got a few boxes of this shit, and shot it for a few ranges sessions, and I am getting a lot of jams with it. I am using a glock 23 gen 3 and I have 5 mags. When I went today 4/5 mags jammed with every 4th round, when I switched over to some federal ammo, not a single problem.

Any one else having problems with HPR?

My guess it's loaded colder than normal ammo. I had the same problem when I bought some .44 mag for my desert eagle. Not enough power. Would short stroke on every shot. Granted the DE needs hot ammo to function, but this stuff definitely did not have the power to cycle the action.

So I took my Century Arms VZ2008 out to the range and have put a total of around 300 rounds through it. When I was cleaning it I found that there was what appeared to be excessive wear on the rails the bolt rides on. This can't be normal wear for this rifle right? Should I be worried at all about this?

does the bolt move freely in the gun without noticeable friction/hangup? if so, then just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesnt wear more (i doubt it will)

Well the bolt will hang up half way closed if you let the bolt down softly, but that was an issue from day 1. Other than that it's fine in that regard. My concern is that this wear is pretty substantial (when you run your finger over it you can feel the loss of metel) for only having like 300 rounds through it.

I've had a vz2008 completely size after only 1k rds. They are hit or miss. The vz58 is like a totally different rifle. If you have a chance to get one, grab it.

Luckily, I was able to sell my 2008 for what I paid (after 'fixing it, the best I could).

Sometimes you find a great one. Alot of times you get a turd rifle.

And this is coming from a huge fan of czechnology.

I hope yours holds up well for you.

Is it weird that if I want a revolver with larger caliber ammo and a pistol in smaller caliber ammo simply because that's how it always is in video games, and thus feels right?

Also, I guess, Resident Evil /k/ thread.

I bought a Beretta M9 partially because of Resident Evil. I didn't care for the gun much so I sold it and stopped buying guns based on video games. Even now playing video games that use guns I own in real life gives me no feels whatsoever.

Lucky, I guess since video game funs tend to be on the pricier side.

So Troy is selling their XM177E2 clone true to spec.
This means it has a 12.5 inch barrel, and a 1/12 twist in their rifling.
Assuming you use 55gr 193, what kind of impact would they have in combat?
>tearing through limbs Nam folk lore originated with this specification

21st Century Pistol Cartridge Design Anonymous 2016-07-13 21:21:22 Post No. 30609712 [Report] [View this topic]

Ok, /k/ -- I know we often see shitposts about retarded new ideas for weapons and cartridges, so bear with me here:

Imagine a high-pressure pistol round with the potential stackable capacity of .32 automatic, the velocity of .357 SIG (or higher), and the bullet weight range of 9mm. Something with a case pressure of 45,000psi (doable thanks to modern metallurgy and pistol design).

The case diameter would be similar to .32 Auto, while the case length would be somewhere near that of the 10mm. With the pressure allowance, I think you could get 115gr bullets to .327 Federal velocities and 124gr bullets to .357 SIG velocities, and you could stack 20-22 of them in a standard full-frame sized mag held in a 9mm-sized handgun. Barrel life would be on par with .357 SIG and 5.7x28.

Is this a good idea?

Sounds like it would result in an ungainly shaped grip. Also pushing 9mm weight bullets at high velocity seems to result in underwhelming penetration when the rounds expand too much too fast.

.30x30 straight cased.
Think 5.7x28 but .30 so you can get carbines to hunt with (in shit states) that are chambered for the same caliber as your armor piercing carry pistol.

Also, .30 caliber P90.
Plus more room for things to be made explosive or to have tungsten cores or whatnot.

6.5 would also be acceptable though the swedefags would never let us live that down.
