@HPsnifter@grok@defense_civil25 Are the ballistics close, absolutely. Are they the same round as stated in the original post, absolutely not. That was the point of my reply.
@bellisa2022@shannonfordUSA or when fired from longer 18β to 20β barrels, M193 will easily crater, dimple, or completely punch through Level III AR500 plates, outperforming steel-core M855 "green tip" ammo at burning through armor.
@bellisa2022@shannonfordUSA Steel Penetration Risk: Because the copper jacket peels away so rapidly, it leaves the hyper-velocity lead core to concentrate all of its kinetic energy into one microscopic point. This is why M193 is notoriously destructive to steelβat close ranges (under 100 yards)
@Kagan_M_Dunlap That guy has seriously gone off the deep end and into certified douche canoe territory. I'm just waiting for him to post a picture of his new "Tucker/Abdul BFF's Forever" back tattoo.
