We Test The US Military's Newly Adopted .277 Fury Round

The US Military has officially adopted the M7 rifle in .277 FURY (6.8x51). In today's video we test accuracy, lethality, controllability and other factors as we fully evaluate this new round.

The 277 Fury is in hold right now pending more durability testing of the rifles. Some of the brass does not like it because it is too much like the M-14 story - ammo too powerful and heavy which makes the rifle heavy. It might replace the 7.62 round but not the 5.56, but it's anyone's guess as to what the brass will decide.

@@nelsonlanglois9104 the 45 ACP was invented as a replacement to the Colt 45 which was adopted because it could put cavalry horses down. The DOD switched to 9 mm for ammo commonality within NATO. The M-14 was a failure in Vietnam and lessons were learned from that failure, which resulted in the adoption of the M-16. The 50 MBG "Ma Deuce" is still in service because it does not have to be carried around by an infantry grunt, and there is nothing better to replace it.

Are civilian rounds not generally higher pressure and velocity because they're not required to perform in as adverse a set of conditions?

You are right on the bullet construction though TSX is a hunting projectile, they're just copper with no lead. Militaries often use differently constructed bullets, steel core for armour piercing

In the summer of 2007, i waa leading my fire team down a street pushing north of my platoon in a town south of baghdad. We were pushing toward a building on the end of the street to take a couple of AT4s on the roof. We had been in a series of skirnishes with fighters, including armed trucks, and needed AT posted. We ran past an occupies building with 2 guys + AKs. One opened fire as i ran past. He hit me with 2 rounds. One hit my side plate, crimpling it and breaking 2 ribs. Round number 2 hit my hip, breaking bone and dropping me. I was very fortunate to be armored against that threat, because if that hadnt stopped the first round, I'd be dead.

[@revivrevalchn3503]

Welp, all those energy got to go somewhere right?

[@jonathanpfeffer3716]

Not how that works lol. Unless the round is barely being stopped the backface deformation should be minimal, and absent any super huge BFD the worst you’ll have is a bruise. Remember Newton’s third law, it’s only the same force as the recoil, the only reason the bullet kills is because of the surface area. Edit: nevermind just saw the part in the vid. still, a trauma pad would mitigate most of that.

[@preservetheunion9258]

@@jonathanpfeffer3716yeah well, of course you also have to account for the variations in the human body. Everyone will take the shock a bit differently and the context can make a difference too. Those dummies are only a facsimile meant to be a close, but not perfect, representative of an average human subject, too. Depending on a person and their build, even with the trauma plate behind it, there will be a range of performance outcomes depending on where someone is hit and other factors like their size and physique. One guy might get a busted rib despite a plate and vest to absorb and slow the projectile down, another guy might not even get a bruise. It’s not like fricking video games where it’s a fixed value that soaks up a certain amount of damage. Ballistics comparisons are helpful, but real life is always more messy and unpredictable. That’s part of the reason why we don’t aim to create armor that protects our soldiers from every conceivable caliber or combat conditions. We simply make armor that’s just good enough. It might not totally stop you from being injured, but the lives they save still speak for themselves. Even back before body armor became standard military equipment, firearms were still plenty lethal, and still more soldiers died from injuries after battles than they did from fatal wounds. Alongside the development of modern medical science making it much easier to help soldiers who do sustain injury, body armor saves many lives just by being good enough to prevent and mitigate injuries to a degree that people don’t instantly die and have much better chance of surviving to receive care for any injuries they do sustain than they would otherwise. Coming at it from this perspective is necessary too, when you consider that there has to be a balance between the weight, protective capacity, cost, and availability of the armor we choose to deploy. For what it does, modern armor is truly amazing. The same logic applies to their process for developing these next generation weapons. Their goal isn’t to make the most powerful or perfect weapons platforms, it’s to make one’s that will reliably do what work we need them to do while also fitting into our overall strategic designs and capacities, which is why they have so many constraints on the design. They already know exactly what they want to use them for and how they’d like them to be implemented, and the whole point of the design contest process is to determine it’s feasibility and value, in addition to evaluating different designs to find a suitable candidate worth the cost.

[@stevenlewis6781]

So a 113 grain copper bullet out of a 13” barrel going at 3050fps drops only 1 mil at 500 yards? That’s just mind blowing. Apparently it does blow minds out of the back of the head very well too. I shoot the Barns 130 TTSX in 308. Out of a 16” barrel it’s right at 3000fps and it’s just unbelievable on game.

@@stevenhall2408 They can't, this improvement is because old guns can't handle them. Even guns being made brand new are too weak. Sorry, they are.

Thats why this new rifle is revolutionary: its the first rifle being made for a modern upgraded chamber pressure.

People always think the military runs gear and ammo that is so much superior to what civilians can get their hand on when this couldn't be further from the truth.

The custom rifles people use, and the ammo they reload are so much more advanced than anything I ever used while active duty. This round is relatively new, but once more civilians get their hands on it, begin tinkering with it figuring out the best loads, it will be far greater than what the military provides.

[@socko2085]

I mean, it is basically just a less reliable, heavier SCAR made 20 years too late, so that makes sense.

BC = Ballistic coefficient btw for anyone wondering. Basically a float value based on the shape of the round and its ability to slice through the air / minimize air resistance. Calculated by Mass / (drag coefficient x cross sectional area)

Except Sig contracts labor and manufacturing to places like India, producing weak parts that fail like the firing pin on P365. I'd trust HK over Sig any day.

@@jbob2447 Sig Sauer is a brand name used by two sister companies based in Germany and the USA.

Mr. Mike, i have been watching your videos for a long time now, love your videos. I was wondering that in the near future you would do a video on how to get a good entry level kit setup from plate carriers all the way to camo patterns on a medium budget, because there is so many options for the consumer and can be hard to get threw it especially if you are not military and i find myself not doing anything cause i don't know what brand or camo pattern to get. I totally understand if you don't do to there not being a good view group for this content , but i figured i would ask. THX

[@recoilrob324]

100 years ago the US Army tested the prototype Garand which was in .276 Pederson...which is surprisingly similar to the Fury. Amazing that something 'new' is just an admission that mistakes were made in the distant past. Nothing new under the sun indeed.

[@SlearBlaneheart]

Yes, as a former teenage gun nut in the 80s, and now still a casual fan, I see nothing but rehash of old designs and calibers. Sure there's been a few innovations here and there,but no matter how many rails amd accessories you put on an AR, it's still a near 60 year old rifle.

[@PassivePortfolios]

I seriously doubt the 277 Fury will go anywhere except maybe as a sniper round. As for infantry, it will fail for the same reasons the M-14 failed. Some people at the top forgot the lessons of Vietnam.

[@SlearBlaneheart]

@@PassivePortfolios Viet what? All they know is whoever developed this rifle gave them a vacation in Hawaii, so they got the contract
