• Will M193 penetrate body armor?

M855 vs M193 Test #1: Body Armor Penetration

• Does the military use M193 or M855?

M855 ammo has been the primary round NATO and the US military uses in all their M4 carbines since 1980. The M855 rounds sounds like a massive upgrade to the M193 on paper, however battlefield reports from the first Gulf War and Somalia paint a different picture.

• What armor will stop M193?

Level III+ body armor

Level III+ body armor is a way for ballistic armor manufacturers to show their customers that their armor will stop more than the NIJ-Listed requirement of an M80 bullet in some way, shape or form. For example, all of our Duritium® Level III+ plates will stop a 5.56x45mm (M193), a 7.62x39mm, and the M80 (. 308 Win).

FAQ On 5.56x45mm Nato

• What is the difference between a 5.56 and a 5.56 NATO?

5.56 is merely a number. 5.56 NATO is a specific caliber designation of a particular cartridge that has a nominal bore size of 5.56mm. While there are several cartridges that also have 5.56 as part of the designation, if someone merely says “5.56″, they are almost invariably referring to the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge.

• What is the lethal range of 5.56 NATO?

Both projectiles fired at a paper mache mannequin at 460 meters may sail the distance, but one will probably bounce off. As previous studies concluded, a truly lethal maximum effective range for an M885, 5.56 mm NATO projectile is about 200 to 250 meters (218- 273 yards).

• Which is more powerful .223 or 5.56 NATO?

The 5.56 NATO pressure is about 58,000 psi and the 223 round is approximately 55,000 psi. While that doesn’t seem like much on its face, a mere 3,000 psi, the case difference in the chamber balloons it to a 10,000 psi difference. This can cause barrel ruptures and could be dangerous for the shooter and the equipment.

Adhering to the principle that lethality=penetration+expansion, it would seem that top 9mm loads are more lethal than top 5.56 loads. While both tend to penetrate to 15-18 inches in gel, top 9mm loads tend to expand to ~0.7, whereas top 5.56 loads tend to expand to ~0.40.

FAQ On Green Tips

• What are green tips good for?

WHAT IS GREEN TIP 5.56 GOOD FOR? Shooting. That’s about it. Technically, M855 is better at penetrating barriers like thin walls and car doors than normal 55gr lead 5.56 is, but this really isn’t an attractive characteristic for most normal shooters.

• Is green tip better than FMJ

The difference between regular FMJ 5.56 ammo and green tip ammo is that the latter has a steel core, which makes it more penetrative and able to pierce through some armor. Some gun ranges may not allow green-tip ammo because it can cause more damage to their backstops and targets.

• Is 5.56 green tip armor-piercing?
