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.

Are civilian rounds not generally higher pressure and velocity because they're not required to perform in as adverse a set of conditions? Commerical .308s, for example, typically run higher, often 25% higher, PSIs. I coincidentally listened to a Hornady podcast episode on .308 this morning. 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

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.

Small suggestion: When shooting armor at close range I'd do it from behind cover. I shot a chunk of steel plate like that once with .308 and had a ring-shaped piece of jacket fly back, penetrate three inches into my leg and come to a rest right up against my femoral artery. Yes I can send proof if you want.

​@@curtisevans8413 I'll find a place to put the photos where you can click and see them, and I'll put the link here. One reason it happened is the steel was 1/2" thick unhardened mild steel. If the steel target is hardened the bullet is a lot more likely to just splatter outward, though nothing is 100 percent. With soft mild steel the slug penetrated partway through and created that ring-shaped piece of jacket that could bounce back. Not the only time I had that happen either. Have you seen the video of the guy shooting a .50 at steel, and having a ricochet come back and knock his earmuffs off? I had that happen too. I had a Big Boar Grizzly and a 4" thick chunk of steel. I let somebody else shoot it at around 100' with an AP round, and the steel penetrator flew back and skipped off the ground right in between us and dinged my bumper. So in general, I'm just against shooting steel unless it's a nice long ways away.

While I agree it's a good idea to do it in a safer manner, shooting steel is much different than shooting ceramic or kevlar. Steel bounces bullets off, ceramic and kevlar catch projectiles. It's not impossible for it to ricochet but it's a lot less likely than steel.

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
@preservetheunion9258 7 ай бұрын
@@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.

Your regular grunt on a standard loadout with an M4 and 210 rounds of ammo comes in at around 75 to 90 pounds. With the M7, a soldier is expected to carry about 5 pounds of extra weight with only 140 rounds of ammo. 5 pounds might not be much but try carrying over 90 pounds of gear for hours on end and you have less rounds to use. I hope this goes well.

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 fact is the military will often select budget friendly equipment since they have to mass produce it. I say this as veteran who is now a civilian competition shooter. 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. Point being, this round is the exact round the military will likely issue.

Add the fancy scope that automatically adjust itself, and you have a very effective platform in the hands of trained individuals.

@@gabetaylor28 I don't want to be disrespectful or sound like an ass, but did you serve? My time spent in the Marines, I can tell you with 100% certainty that volume of fire is more effective than trying to make every troop into a standalone "sniper". We got good training, but that doesn't make everyone an expert on the range. A vast majority of troops don't score expert with 5.56 and I wouldn't expect them to with this caliber either and that's under very controlled conditions. I have a number of grievances with this caliber as standard issue. 1. Weight 2. Recoil control 3. Ammunition capacity (this ties in with weight obviously) 4. manual of arms. The added weight of this round is going to suckkk. a few pounds extra makes a big difference. The recoil of this caliber is significantly more than 5.56, particularly for those troops who only qual a few times a year and that's it and taking follow up shots with this will be slower. Ammo capacity will be much more limited than 5.56 and I don't see troops focusing on accuracy as being as effective as volume of fire. The manual of arms for this weapon system will be similar in some ways to an M16/M4 but with some key differences, particularly in gas system operations and proprietary systems built into the gun by the manufacturer. Also, most service members in all branches cant shoot for shit honestly. I thought I was pretty good scoring expert everytime during quals but once I did some training in the private sector, I realized I was pretty average with the skills I had at that time.

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.

Less ammo carrying capacity too. All reasons are why the M16 was adopted which is still a very reliable platform today. If the goal is to match peer threat modern body armor, then I think a logistically better and economic decision is to modernize the AR-10 platform. Contractors won't have to retool, and units won't have to retrain or relearn the weapon system. Either way, I still think that for the reasons above, it would be impractical to put it in the hands of every infantryman, but rather limited adoption for DMRs.

First I want to thank for the video. It was excellent and extremely informative. Now with that said, it is my very personal opinion that the M7 will go the way of the M14. I have no doubt this gun will be deployed and it will have a longer life than the M14 as a combat weapon, [but] in time it will be replaced as the basic battle rifle by something chambered in 6mm ARC or similar cartridge. There are numerous reasons but let’s talk about just four. a. Weight. The gun with a basic loadout of ammunition is considerably heavier than an M4 with a loadout of 5.56 ammo. Weight will be the single biggest reason for a change. b. Barrel life. You mentioned 10,000 rds as the expected barrel life for the M7. You were in the military, and you know that it will take no time at all to fire 10,000 rds in combat. You talked about 2.5 MOA for this gun. If 2.5 MOA is all that is required with a fresh barrel, how bad do you think that MOA will be at 5,000 rds let alone at 10,000 rds? Once that barrel gets past about 3,000 rds with an 80,000 psi chamber pressure the gun is going to spray bullets all over the place especially past 100 meters. You and your crew are professional firearms users. Think about a basic troop. How well do you believe a basic infantryman will handle this gun with a burned out barrel over 100 meters? c. This gun is exclusive to Sig Sauer for both the gun itself and the ammunition. There is one source for gun, ammo, and parts. Does that sound like a good idea for a weapon you need accepted by NATO and you may need large quantities of quickly? d. This gun and the 6.8x51 cartridge were marketed and sold to the Government as something the military needed to defeat “advanced” body armor. While I am not a combat veteran, I do have an extensive background with the Army, and I can tell you that the decisions to go with the M7 and the 6.8x51 cartridge were not made by Soldiers and Marines that would have to actually carry and use it in combat. In the words of Clint Smith, “Body armor is only good if the person shooting at you can hit it.” Where are most injuries occurring on a combatant? They are occurring on the extremities, e.g. the arms, legs, and areas not covered by body armor. Look at your own results at trying to penetrate Class IV body armor. You said it in the video that “armor piercing rounds would be needed to penetrate Class IV body armor. Well, if I need armor piercing rounds anyway, I can get that in 7.62x51mm, 5.56x45mm, and definitely in 6x38mm (6mm ARC). All of which don’t have the issues of the 6.8x51mm cartridge. Bottom line, the military does need a cartridge with greater lethality than is currently offered by the 5.56x45 cartridge past 300 meters. They learned that lesson over the twenty plus years we were in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, but do they really need a cartridge with 80,000 psi chamber pressure and all the issues those pressures cause? I personally don’t think so, especially if you still need an armor piercing projectile. The U.S. military already has a cartridge in inventory that will do the job, the 7.62x51 and it doesn’t have anything close to the 6.8x51 in barrel burnout. I personally believe the 6mm ARC or a comparable cartridge that can use the AR15/M4 framework will be the new battle cartridge, but that is a whole video by itself. I will mention a couple of reasons why I think the 6 ARC will be the new cartridge. First, Special Operations Command (SOCOM) requested the cartridge from Hornady and they are using it. The 2nd reason I think it will be the new cartridge is, Hornady hasn’t released license to allow others to make it, just like Sig hasn’t released license for the .277 Fury. Again, thank you and your sponsors for making this video. It was extremely informative.

I have the preliminary ballistics data on the US Army's GPR (General Purpose Round). It is the same projectile design as the EPR in 5.56 and 7.62 NATO. Out of the M7 it should be around 3100 ft/s at the muzzle. Considering what we saw from M855A1 and M80A1 EPR we can expect exceptionally violent if not explosive levels of performance with near instant jacket separation in a ballistic medium with the steel penetrator and copper base slug both tumbling. The steel penetrator should have a slight curve upward in its track with the copper slug having a much more pronounced downward track. It should be a 140 grain projectile with a muzzle velocity of 3000 - 3100 ft/s from the M7 Rifle, and a chamber pressure above 80,000 PSI (which is insane). Estimated G1 BC of 0.508 which makes it significantly ballistically better than Mk 262 Mod 1 in 5.56 and M08A1 EPR in 7.62 NATO, it puts it just slightly above the 7.62 NATO Mk316 Mod 0 Special Ball Long Range in terms of BC. Barrier penetration expected as penetrating 3/8 inch mild steel at 800 - 850 meters. Edit: Additional ballistics information and grammatical corrections.

The.276 Pederson came full circle and was resurrected as the .277 Fury with better powder and better bullet construction! The bullet smiths in 1923 saw the ballistic performance that was possible and is now realized in the .277 Fury. What a great round!

Yes, but you could only get 2600fps out of the old 276 Peterson and its a SR25/Ar10 size case length cartridge with its 125gr projectile. The bullet is usually shorter and less areodynamic and doesnt do well at longer ranges but its not bad for most ranges. 276 Peterson does require a longer heavier barrel to be able to achieve its velocity. The 6.8/.277 SIG Fury round Also has a maximum overall length of 2.83 inches. This means it Also, will load and feed from any 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) detachable-box magazine. Its moving a slightly lighter 113 grain bullet at almost 3100fps in full auto. Its also a more modern bullet that is longer nd sleeker and higher BC and has better wind bucking ability at longer ranges. Unfortunately these cant be made to fit in the older longer cases like the 308 and the 276 Peterson. It would be so far back in the case it would be horribly inefficient. That is why all these newer cartridge designs have shorter, fatter cases, and longer slippery bullets doing about the same speed as cartridges of older times. Of course they also increased the case pressure pretty massively on the new steel base/brass sidewalled case to be able to do this in such a short package with a short barrel. Just look at todays cartridges and stand them next to a comparable one of 50-100 yrs ago and you can see it. Today we can get an off the shelf, 6mm ARC, Ar15/M4 with its smaller shorter rifle, much lighter weight to carry, and a much shorter 2.26" max OAL length 6mm arc round, and it can shoot a 103-108 grain at 2800 fps. The weight savings of ammo and rifle alone would be quite huge today. That is what helps armies move as we know via 5.56 all these years. Yes, the Peterson was a fine Ar10/Sr25 2.8" ish length round, but was never adopted in its day 100 yrs ago sadly.

More like a watered down 270 win. I was expecting better velocity with that 80k psi ammo as this is supposed to give 270 performance out of a 13in gun. For comparison a 270 can send a 110gr at nearly 3500fps.

A huge reason for this round is with super high pressure is it’s a drag racer and gives velocity out of shorter barrels ( down to 8”) Im amazed how many people are unaware that high pressure is for various special forces and infantry to get velocity out of short barrels …. In the short barrel arena it is light years ahead of all previous rounds … It was the main purpose for this round , high velocity from short barrels … standard pressure rounds are near useless out of short barrels

When testing armor, you should have a blunt force trauma sensor behind the armor to identify the actual force applied from the round. Be sure to use new armor and know ahead of time the round will not fully penetrate. I’d be curious to see just how much blunt force someone goes through!

​@SoloRenegade the issue is with speed of the acceleration verses the speed of deceleration. It takes time to accelerate the bullet from the gun barrel. The bullet decelerates in a fraction of the time it takes to accelerate. The speed of the energy dump is what causes the damage. It's the reason we have airbags in cars. The airbag increases the amount of time over which your head decelerates. It's the same reason they have crumple zones in cars now. It's to extend the time over which the energy is transfered into the human body. Hope this helps!

Close shooting shots are great when data gathering for CQB damage, but 200-300m shooting is more common from my experience as most of our enemies want enough stand off so they can shoot then evac from their position before soldiers can get a fix on their positions. Again, great video

Solid copper (green agenda) will be used as training ammo. Has much less pressure to reduce wear on barrel. Actual combat ammo will vary. The anti armor tip will be different from current AP relying only on hard metals such as Tungsten. The optic allows switching ammo with separate zero for each type of ammo.
