      For all practical purposes theres no difference between 5.45 and 5.56, but the NATO death squads that train with ukies have it so it must be good.

        The M855A1 rounds that we've seen some Ukrainian soldiers using, and even standard M193, have much better terminal performance than 5.45 FMJ.
        >inb4 yaw
        Which causes next to no TSC damage in many flexible tissues, all the bullet is doing is crushing a hole approximately the size of itself. Not to mention pretty much every rifle bullet that doesn't expand will yaw, so 5.45 FMJ basically just acts like M193 when it's travelling too slow to fragment, maybe a bit bigger (longer) and more consistent but nothing super dramatic.

        >Just goes to show that soldiers generally dont know shit about their own weapons.
        Although this isn't necessarily wrong either.

        M855 is mediocre at best for 5.56 combat ammo and absolutely nothing special. Then again most varieties of 7.62x39 suck at least as much if not generally more.

          why?

          • 1 year ago
            Anonymous

            The steel penetrator is like vatdick, not just because the tip is green but also because it's small and pathetic and not very hard. Contrary to what many believe, M855 performs rather poorly against barriers (at least in comparison to true barrier blind rounds) and isn't very good against armor, not that any 5.56 round really is (*maybe* making an exception for AP4), but all the same.

            Like M193 it has a high fragmentation velocity threshold, about 2500 FPS. However its lower muzzle velocity means it has a slightly reduced frag range out of most barrel lengths in spite of its higher BC. Als, likely for construction-related reasons it doesn't seem to frag as much or as often even above its nominal frag velocity.

            Because M855 is a yaw-dependent bullet (in that it must yaw in order to initiate fragmentation), it is also subject to a greater degree of randomness in neck length prior to deformation. A good chunk of this has to do with 'fleet yaw', essentially angle of attack variations upon entry that depend on exactly where the bullet is in its pitch cycle, the range of engagement, and potentially even things like the specific rifle and slight deviations in projectile construction between different manufacturers. It ought to be pointed out that basically every yaw dependent bullet suffers from this to some degree or another but M855 is worse about it than many others.

              but the point is what's its anti-barrier and anti-armor performance compared to M193 and vatnik 7.62
              >yaw-dependent
              that's good to know, but I'm not sure on the combat usefulness of yaw, IMVHO just taking a couple of hits is bad enough regardless of whether the round yaws or not

                >anti-armor performance
                Compared to M193, not particularly. It does better against pure UHMWPE but worse against thicker steel plates (thin steel like old helmets notwithstanding), though frankly both M855 and M193 are pretty bad against both and neither seems to have much of an edge against ceramics. Pure UHMWPE as an armor material is considerably more viable than most steel so one could say that UHMWPE armor penetration is worth more than steel penetration but that's assuming the Russians actually have any mind towards the quality of the armor they're using.

                Compared to 7.62x39 I guess it does better at anti-armor but the only class of armor that it has any real chance of penetrating that something like M43 or M67 wouldn't is the aforementioned pure UHMWPE Level III/equivalent plates and helmets, everything else they'll both penetrate or they'll both fail against, M855 just has a bit more leeway in terms of range/angles/maybe against compromised armor.

                >anti-barrier
                It's probably a bit better than M193 for this overall but nothing too meaningful, compared to 7.62x39 FMJ it may be selectively worse depending on the barrier in question (may be better against mild steel and worse against wood for example).

                >that's good to know, but I'm not sure on the combat usefulness of yaw, IMVHO just taking a couple of hits is bad enough regardless of whether the round yaws or not
                Yaw itself is nothing special, practically every 5.56 or 7.62 bullet will yaw most of the time if it doesn't expand. However a rifle bullet that yaws is still better than one that neither yaws nor fragments and instead just pencils through. A 5.56 icepick is not much better than a .22 LR, very poor per-shot incapacitation potential against determined threats barring CNS hits.

                The bigger reason why yaw is important for 5.56 FMJ is because it has the potential to initiate fragmentation at sufficiently high velocities which is quite destructive, however as noted M855 has problems with this.

                5.56 in general is good, decently powerful, flat shooting, well made, especially in most guns that are made for it. Even M855 is probably more accurate than whatever soviet crap they're using.

                M855 is easily the worst 5.56 loading that sucks at penetrating barriers, sucks at penetrating armor(even said UHMWPE penetration is barely there at point blank ranges), sucks at damaging tissue due to lower velocity and poor fragmentation and yaw and is less accurate because of the steel core at the tip. Its only redeeming quality was the heavier bullet weight and boat tail that gave the then adopted SAW some 100yds more range, give or take, otherwise it's a complete downgrade from the M193 that was more accurate, flatter shooting, lighter, more lethal and could penetrate steel armor better with meaningful reliability at longer ranges. The armor bit is especially relevant against russians who only fielded steel plates at best until 2014 when ratnik came out and was supposed to be widely fielded.

          Funnily enough while we are blessed enough to think of M855 as garbage, when in the Libya civil war factions got their hands on M855 they thought the green tip was indication that it was a poison bullet.
          They probably attributed to poison what they saw when people took a 5.56 and it fragmented inside.

          >M855 is mediocre at best for 5.56 combat ammo and absolutely nothing special
          why?

          It's incredibly inconsistent. When bullets come out the muzzle they wobble a little. The M855 round is very sensitive to the angle at which it impacts the target. It can go as far as +/- 3º of Angle of Attack. When it impacts at 3 degrees, the bullet fragments easily and creates very good wounding for a FMJ round. When it impacts point forward, it always carries a chance of just passing through and not yawing as it should.

        Bad vision is due to your genes being deesigned for a different sized body. It's actually a sign or really good nutrition as a child, because the body overgrows the expected specs for your eyes.

      Like anyone else, they need to use what they have.

      I've seen a ton of Holosuns during this war (including the EPS on the Glock at 1:19 in the OP video), but even in this video you can see Aimpoints, Trijicons and the EOTech magnifier.

          So is there a logical reason why UAF might say their 5.56 is good?
          Perhaps they noted some slight performance improvement relative to the lighter weight?

          I have no idea why the guy in the video thinks it's a good round, but there are benefits to 5.56 vs 7.69. 5.56 has lighter recoil. A combat load out of 210 rounds of 5.56x45 weighs significantly less than 210 rounds of 7.62x39. Also (and this has less to do with the cartridge itself) modern M4s/ARs are more accurate than many AK platform weapons, especially old ass Soviet era stuff. Anyway, you'd be surprised how many soldiers don't really know much about ballistics and terminal performance, really. I think the biggest benefit to 5.56 vs 7.69 is the reduced weight. You can simply carry more of it at the same weight.

      Okay genuine question, are people even actually using handguns in this war? I don't think i've ever seen combat footage with one.

        A handgun is good if whatever you're doing requires you to fly completely under the radar, which means not carrying a rifle. He mentioned sabotage teams, who are probably trying to appear as regular civilians to Russian troops, so carrying rifles all the time would be a bad idea.

        >what's the chance of you getting into a situation where it would be better to drop your rifle and take out your handgun?
        If you somehow run out of reloads for your rifle, it's better to have a handgun than nothing at all, and in the grand scheme of things, a handgun and a couple extra mags for it don't add much weight. Even SWAT guys -- who are never going to be in such an extended firefight that they'll run out of rifle ammo -- carry side arms.

    Based. Also, what is the word that is being translated to 'lad'? Or has bong-speak really spread so far?

      The other guy did the machine guns rundown, I think they have MG-42, M2 and MAG and Maxim. Same guy that did the rocket launcher comparison.

      not so much "baffled", more like exploring all possible options for the observation
      you smug twat

      Makes sense. Reminds me of when the Estonian military bought a bunch of LMT rifles and put Holosun 515 red dots on them, resulting in the usual "you can see where the budget ran out" jokes.

      [...]
      I have no idea why the guy in the video thinks it's a good round, but there are benefits to 5.56 vs 7.69. 5.56 has lighter recoil. A combat load out of 210 rounds of 5.56x45 weighs significantly less than 210 rounds of 7.62x39. Also (and this has less to do with the cartridge itself) modern M4s/ARs are more accurate than many AK platform weapons, especially old ass Soviet era stuff. Anyway, you'd be surprised how many soldiers don't really know much about ballistics and terminal performance, really. I think the biggest benefit to 5.56 vs 7.69 is the reduced weight. You can simply carry more of it at the same weight.

      Anyone know how many loaded mags the average Russian fighter carries?

      >the reduced weight. You can simply carry more of it at the same weight
      That seems to be it. It would be impressive enough to start using ammo that's say 1/2 the weight and retaining equivalent performance otherwise, or with accuracy and reliability improvements (frick knows how much jamming they're used to)

    > 9mm Glocks

    Not really fair given the PM was designed in the 50s and hasn't been updated much since then

    > Malyuk in 7.62x39
    Bretty cool to see a bullpup in the old Soviet round

    > All the 5.56 rifles
    Yeah. Not sure about calling 5.56 a "powerful" round, but maybe 5.45 is much worse, rither ballistically or terminally, than I was lead to believe.

    > HK single shot 40mm GL
    Look nice.

    > RBG 6 shot GL
    I was more impressed until I discovered the barrel is smoothbore, unlike the m32. Still, 6 rounds of 40mm would suck to get dropped on you.

    > Dat modernized PKM
    Pure. Fricking. Sex.

    > Outtakes have them putting on ear pro for the RBG
    Was he just using fricking Airpods for ear pro before that? The frick, guys.
