"A lot of ATF agents have wives who have bulls." "Studies have shown that 100% of ATF agents have wives who have boyfriends and this is consistent with previous dad advice." I'm pleased to see that Garand Thumb is also venturing into becoming a news outlet, since this is actually factual and accurate reporting.
Studies also proven that the average AFT agent is that one kid back in the playground who bitch and cry when playing Tag. You're it. That kid constantly change the rules when he/she can't catch up with the other kids. He/she will lie to the custodian or any staff on the playground and get everybody in trouble.
Nope. ATF agents are just like everyone else and just doing a job. Why vilify them? Most of them are shooters just like you. I hate getting a parking ticket. Should I vilify the meter maids? No they are just doing here job. Don't like a law or regulation? Then simply work to get it changed and or go to court. - Now were you shooting a 7N6, 7N6M or 7N10 in the testing? I tend to agree that the 7N6 is not really an armor penetrating round as the core is just mild steal. It could be argued it is more eco-friendly hehe. However, the 7N6M and the 7N10 do have penetrators made of harder material. The devil is in the details as the 7N6M were being offered as the 7N6. Is the 7N6M an armor penetrator? That I don't know. I do know that the 7N10 was purposedly modified to help defeat armor.
@@edl653 i think there is some humor amidst this political commentary. I don't believe it has ever been about the targeting of individual employees. However, your argument isnt completely solid either... As you could argue that soliders and agents in nazi Germany were also just doing a job. And to a great extent that is true.. albeit, in nazi Germany one would be labeled a traitor if one didnt work for the great cause.. however a public employee in the free world provably has a choice.

Man, it broke my heart when they banned the 7n6. I just payed more for .22lr than I was paying for 7n6 before the ban. I am convinced that the intent was to dry up the supply of cheap, effective ammo.
That's always the intent, and why the government always goes after cheap weapons and ammo. Gun control is rarely little more than normal people control in practice.
Yeah, that was the entire point. They tried to ban M855 6 months later and got so much backlash they revoked that ban. We'll never see 7n6 imported legally again though, well not without some very spicy politics.
@@jonwinfield9193 that was a bit of "adding insult to injury" that all the folks writing their Congresspersons to save the M855 didn't GAF about the much nicer 7n6.

@@1xBossupWhat’s wrong with being dependent on medicine? Like food, H2O, vitamins & minerals, medicine is something we depend on for……wait for it…… *LIFE*
Funny thing, I've talked a bit about russian army with my girlfriends uncle, who served there in like late 80s/ early 90s. And one thing he talked about was "Shifted centre of gravity rounds". He said they were pretty rare and rounds effect was described to me as "enters eye, exists butthole". I thought it was some kind of anecdote, but watching this video provided some context to his stories. Maybe he wasn't bullshiting after all.
@@АлексейПлатонов-н5х displaced centre of gravity rounds do 100% exist they are not a legend at all, they have been used by various countries but are illegal to use, a terrorist group killed multiple people with them in Ukrainian in 2014
Its called the 'poison bullet' because people with seemingly minor or healing wounds, got sick and lost limbs or died, because they didn't understand that it left fragments in the wound.
It's from crappy field medicine common in 3rd world countries. Yes the fragmentation is part of it. But the thing also creates crazy wound channels (note plural) and couple that with the fragmentation & need to debride dead tissue it's not going to be a good outcome.
....... most gunshots end up with fragments being left in the wound, because the damage from surgery to retrieve them would be worse than just leaving the fragments. I have something to tell you tho; the massive amount of heat that gets transferred to a bullet when it's fired out of the barrel, is more than enough to kill any viruses and bacteria that might have been on the projectile. So when you get hit with a bullet, it's completely sterile, assuming it wasn't a ricochet that hit some cow shit or something.
I'm reminded of the old story about Nazi "spoon tip" rounds. Literally with an asymmetric scoop-shaped section out of the bullet, they were supposed to tumble on impact; and the gun shop sages had it that they were banned by the Geneva Convention. Ignoring the fact that it's actually the Hague Convention which covers small arms and ammo regulations, I always wondered how much truth there was behind that particular myth. It seems more likely to me they'd be simply discontinued due to what I imagine would've been awful accuracy, rather than _banned_ for their efficacy (cf. shotguns, flamethrowers, and all the other perpetual myths of this or that being banned for being "too brutal even for war").
Considering all the stupid bullshit the Nazi's did, and how absolutely useless most of it was(No, the Nazis did not have superior technology), I fully believe that the round exist, that it can barely hit anything, doesn't do what it's advertised to well, barely saw production run because they invented it in 1944 and any factories and materials that weren't destroyed already had to make conventional rounds, and that's why you've never seen it again
It's not a myth in a sense "there are no such bullets", it's just a ton of modern (and old as well) ammo behave like this. Soviet 5,45х39, whatever was used during Vietnam era by US, all those bullets deform and tumble like hell inside the body due to the fact that most of their mass is behind the point of contact, so it "drifts" like a car making a reckless turn. Plus there are expanding bullets which use post-hit deformation to inflict more damage as well, although they aren't exactly known for "tumbling" first and foremost.
Geneva convention couldn't have banned "Nazi spoon tip rounds" because no Geneva convention was held during the existence of Nazi Germany.. Nazis took power in 1933, started the war in 1939 and ceased to exist in 1945 after loosing the war they started. Geneva conventions closest to that timeframe been 1929 (before Nazis took power) and 1949 (after Nazis ceased to exist).. To be clear: when i say "ceased to exist" i'm referring to NSDAP original Nazis and not all those Neonazi / far right scumbags celebrating a comeback over here as well.. Greetings from Germany.
Funnily enough, 7N6 was never considered as an armor-piercing round. Rumor is it's utterly useless against body armor. Standard 7.62 (57-N-231) round had a lot more penetration than 7N6. This issue, however, was fixed in 7N10.
Yes. Since 1992, the standard cartridge has been 7n10. In 1994, he was replaced by 7n10m. 7n6 has not been produced for a long time, only Soviet stocks.
The BATF made an ass of themselves saying 7n6 is AP I have a plate of armor that M855 WILL penetrate...but 7N6 will NOT...why does the BATF give M855 a pass but not 7N6?...M855 is armor piercing with a hardened penetrator...why is it legal?
The realization on Mike's face when Charlie starts talking about bulls had me burst out in laughter. Between that and the space station, this made my entire week.
Charlie is such a treasure trove of knowledge and perspective! I appreciate that he uses statistics to back up his viewpoint! “100% of ATF agents wives have boyfriends.”
Charlie usually has his facts slightly off, which is fine because we are all human. But I fact checked some of this stuff, and I can verify that, "Studies have shown that 100% of ATF agents have wives who have boyfriends and this is consistent with previous dad advice." - is 100% backed by science. Good Job Charlie and congrats on becoming a doctor.
Since we are listing facts:Russian population 180million useful in combat 70million. Us population 330 million useful in combat 19. Russian ruble top currency on the planet > us dollar in full collapse. Stating the obvious is fun
We'd love to see the 5.56 shot at ballistic gel from 24", 20", 16", and shorter as well as .223. That would make a fun, informative video for the fans! Also, you could use the same ammo for all, then repeat the whole "experiment" for different 5.56/.223 ammos, this could be an ongoing series.
11:47 "The Communists actually designed this round to penetrate Level 3 Innocent Farmer" I almost fucking died laughing holy shit the delivery is perfect
I’d go so far as to consider a 12 yr old playing COD more qualified as a firearms expert than literally any ATF agent. Also, bravo to top tier editing!
Gotta love Charlie and his commentary. 100% solid gold material, right there. Thanks for the content, boys. I hope everybody in this community is having a good one out there. 🤙🏾
"I'm very curved as well.." - Charlie 2022 "The communists actually designed this round to penetrate level 3 innocent farmer" Charlie - 2022 This dude has me dying
@@domaxltv Communists have killed way more Communists than we have, buddy. We may be civilian murder enthusiasts, but the Russians and Chinese are legitimate masters.
This episode had me dying laughing and it is clear to see that Charlie is a lot more intelligent than most ATF agents. Remember you don't need a 100 magazine clip in your machine gun and a 9 mm bullet will blow your lung out your chest.
I love how consistently inconsistent the 5.45 is and I wonder if it was designed to perform this way because all these strange ballistics would cause HORRIFIC wounds
Yes it was designed to do that AFAIK, I have an AK shooter manual written by some old Spetznaz instructor and he wrote about the 5.45 ballistics and the horrifying wounds it caused in Afghanistan. Also, not totally relevant but apparently they would also boil their ammunition before trading it to the locals so that it wouldn't fire when the Mujahadeen eventually got it
Still not as horrifying as 5.56 which will explosively fragment in addition to yawing with significantly more energy that gets fully dispersed unlike 5.45 that stays together and exits. Idk why so many people attribute these nonsensical magical claims about Russian weapons haha. There's a reason the Russians haphazardly copied the 5.56 so quick, and made a less effective round in the process.
the core is not hardened. 7n6 has a hardened core, but it not ap yet. 7n22 (with black head) is solid, hardened and twice i saw it coming clean trough both front and back plates (dude survived, but it was rough). I cannot tell you anything about category of plates, as this was supplied by the volunteers (who buy everything everywhere, where it can be purchased) and mine for example was of another manyfacturer, purchased by different person.
@@jameshawkins8817 a lot of ppl just don't get that ussr was aiming for a total war, so they did everything to make things work on the cheap way))) some stuff was genious, but most just aimed to be produced at the highest quantities by the least skillest people. that's why two AK-74 you disassemble (i did, i know) would have so high tolerances and even different coloration, that you can see on some parts, that they come from different plants, made on different equipment, out of sligtly different metal. but it shoots, which is better than nothing in fact in my hometown we had a factory, that produced umbrellas (as well as huge variety of other things, including one of the first soviet calculators) and they had this emergency plan of how they will in less than 7 days switch to weapon production as ak can be made even at home if you have the proper pair of hands and tools
I like how it would absolutely cavitate a soldier's entire torso before going ballistic to take out their rear artillery. Truly a speed runner's caliber
Charlie is really coming into his own. In the first videos he would say some quirky things and they were interesting for sure. But with a few months practice he's really playing the character well and coming out with some absolute gems. Really glad you kept him on. Our boy Charlie has really grown.
This episode has made my top 3 FAVORITE Garand Thumb videos!!! The smoothness and edits of you and Charlie is Hollywood level.. I laughed, I cried, I learned something new... Thank you Dr Garand Thumb, I am forever grateful of your decision to drop out of Medical school.... and of course thanks to Charlie for not getting thrown in a group home for the challenged...
I was always told that either Remington or Winchester was the main people that went to the ATF to get the 7n6 banned because it was so cheap it was cutting into their ammo sales. I’m mean you could even buy AR uppers chambered in 5.45 because it was so cheap. 😢
@@alexisXcore93 I remember seeing smith and Wesson M&P AR chambered in 5.45 and thought that would be fun. I opted for the saiga 74 because it was like 600 cheaper at the time. Now the roles have reversed, the days of $300 AK’s are long gone.
That wouldn't surprise me. It obviously was not banned because it was an actual armor piercing round and they were worried about that. Seems like "follow the money" can be pretty good advice many times.
The shop I was working in in early '00s wound with a pallet of this because the owner's son didn't know the difference between 47 & 74 ammo. When it came in, the owner went absolutely bat crap crazy on his son. We wound up moving the pallet from our main store to the range/store and selling it for $75 per *crate*. I look back and wish I'd bought the whole pallet.
The round yeeting into the space station, and the look on Dr. Garandthumb’s fave when Charlie started talking about bulls. I laughed at this video so hard I couldn’t breathe!
I love the new aspect Charlie adds to the videos. His sense of idiocy and his ability to keep a straight face through it is hilarious. "As a medical professional, the problems start right there" as he points at the bullet entrance.
been 3d printing my own accessories for as long as i've had the firearm acquisition license (canada) and it'd still be a challenge to 3d-print anything good. Without part kits, you have to be passionate about making your own, being willing to go through a multidimensional revision process, and be comfortable sacrificing reliability/function to do so. It's a last resort, b/c when you really want a firearm is usually when you need it to be reliable
Just watched some Slow Mo guys and cant stop but smurk at the "We have a fast camera here, shooting 1,600FPS" when i just watched 1.75million FPS of lightning. Anyway good video as always
It's the air pocket in the nose of the round that makes it YAW like a mofo. As soon as the 7n6 bullet strikes an object more dense than air that airpocket in the nose changes the center of gravity for the bullet. This is what causes the tremendous destabilization and yawning on impact.
I love how the entire time Charlie had a tacticool stick holstered and it was never brought up. Has that 'Giving your younger brother the broken controller so he feels included' energy.
I’ve learned more from Dr Garandthumb and Dr Charlie than I ever did from Bill Nye as a kid. Also nice to have my suspicion confirmed by data about communists and the ATF. “Level 3 innocent farmers” had me dying 🤣
Look up "Bill Nye on Gender circa 1990s" and see how far they are literally going backwards on science to be politically correct. On his newest netflix just youtube " Bill Nye On Sexuality and Gender Spectrum" ill admit science constantly changes with new breathroughs, But to question Male and Female only in the mammalian human species is retarded, My male dog never tried to get pregnant. This is what happens when the patients start running the asylum.
The brilliance in the ballistics of this round in conjunction with Russian military marksmanship doctrine is wild. They teach you to aim for the belt buckle, and then this mad lad round makes a damn near 90 degree turn upwards inside your body. So not only are you getting gut shot, but the round is more than likely going to find it's way into your vitals as well. If you're not wearing armor you're double fucked against this round.
@@Cmoth040 they aim low because they hit high up to 300 meters where the bullet flattens out so the aim for the belt buckle and hit center mass if they aimed for the face they would hit head shots which are not practical in battle
Your logical input and Charlie’s unmatched wisdom, coupled with the occasional wise words from Micah, make for an absolutely astounding team of Chad’s. I’m loving the content, garand thumb! Keep it up for real 🙏
8:23 The light being generated by the cavitation in the ballistic gel is always nice to see. Lets you know that so much energy is being imparted into it, that the damage would continue just from the flesh collapsing in on itself long after the round is gone.
@@clapper3530 actually it does. Kind of like how depth charges work, the sudden expansion of the gel creates a bubble. When it collapses, both exits seal first so the gasses are trapped inside. Then, the gel forces the the gasses into a smaller space, increasing the pressure. It gets to a point where it's essentially an explosion caused by the sudden jump in pressure causing a form of combustion. So yes. Cavitation is literally the cause of it.
Sadly, my viper's were sacrificed to the river last weekend. The wendigos left us in peace thanks to a cooler full of bang's and chicken tenders. Awesome content. Charlie, never change.
I love how you used the 'Soviet March' for your background music ... a soundtrack composed by a British musician, designed for an American game, to be played by North Americans and Europeans. It's as Russian as an Alabama lightning bug, haha. Sounds friggin' amazing every time though!
It's better than a lead core FMJ but not as much as most people think. Mrgunsngear has done gel tests with commercial 5.45x39 and it is not too shabby.
“One of the biggest threats that I believe ATFs saw on this round is they were worried that people would take it out hunting their bulls because a lot of ATF agents have bulls or their wives have bulls” “That’s…. Words” Thank you for the input Charlie 😂
"...like Canada or college." OH MY GOSH MY SIDES! I think I lost my voice a bit from laughing. This was an awesome episode, glad for all of your contributions
Legitimately my favorite video you've ever posted. So funny 🤣. I watched it three times in a row to catch the stuff I missed the first two times from laughing too hard. You two together is the best match I've seen since the Top Gear trio. Keep up the good work!
It’s actually quite remarkable how much more I believe you with those Pit Viper’s on… It’s like it adds +50 to your believability, and trustworthiness.
You guys are killing it!!! Dr Charlie is the perfect counter to Dr Thumb, and Micah chiming in is just the cherry on top!!!! Absolutely love every video, please keep up the great work!!
Have you ever addressed the effect of the "diesel explosion" that can be seen when the temporary expansion cavity collapses ans compresses the vaporized block material in the cavity void? Sometimes (on other tests) there is even a "puff" of combustion products that can be seen being expelled from the block upon the second cavity collapse. There must be quite a bit of additional damage caused by the heat and shock of the explosion.
From what I understand the temporary cavity pulls some air in, and then creates a lot of heat and pressure when it rapidly collapses which causes the little explosion. I'm not an expert here but that's what I've gathered.
I just about lost my lunch when right at the end he made the statement about communist countries and then named Canada first. Brother you said a mouthful and a truer statement was never uttered.

Hell, what about the month or so (in 2008-2009?) when Arsenal was selling Saiga SGL-21`s (modern factory Russian AK's) for friggin $500...I feel your sickness.
@@oskar6661 yep, and $500 was a fairly "expensive" AK back then. I bought an SAR-2 and a WASR-10 for $200 a piece in '04 or '05. I should've bought a hundred of them, along with a bunch more ~$150 SKS's. I wish I knew then what I know now. 😔
This was a great video! I was dying when the first round flew out the top and your cut scene of the satellite exploding was priceless 🤣 Charlie was hilarious as well great addition to the video
Bringing Charlie onto the show was what the show needed. He's the Bubbles to your Ricky. Edit: To be honest it's just the perfect equation. Your character + his character + brilliant editing = ridiculous ab workout with a bit of knowledge
People who know nothing about guns will see illogical bans like this and praise them because they seem like they do something without doing anything. It just encourages the ATF to have stupid laws like this and the SBR vs. Pistol law doing jack against gun crime yet being a massive hinderence to gun owners, but there's so much spite against the gun community from non-gun owners that even if they see these laws for what they are they wouldn't care.
This "poison bullet" is capable of doing significant damage even when fired from further away. The 5.56 suffers diminished velocity out of shorter barrels and longer distance. When that happens, it loses the ability to fragment and tends to punch a small hole in the target and causes little damage. I also imagine that a surgeon is going to have an easier time locating and removing a bullet that travels a straight path compared to one that curves after hitting the body.
M193 more than makes up for what m855 lacks out of lesser sized barrels. True M193 can easily leave 16" barrels at 3100 fps and is surprisingly accurate. Absolutely chews up flesh and will fragment and yaw while creating a larger permanent wound cavity. It's downfall? Honestly not much for civilians standards but for a duty round not so much due to not doing so hot through barriers. That's where bonded bullets come in and absolutely shine. Both federal & Speer have bonded softpoints that perform amazing through all barriers and will perform from 1750fps all the way up to 3500, "if someone feels the need to pull the bullet and load to their own 556 pressures", leaving the round able to perform from a few feet out to 600 yards... It's downfall? Damn things are exspensive as hell....
@Luke Koenig It is void of toxic chemicals that would be considered by most as a poison. It causes impressive ballistic damage that results in fatalities at a higher rate than expected for the size of that bullet.
@@cgsimons1187 I think the "poison bullet" designation comes from a single source, Marco Vorobiev who served with the Red Army in Afghanistan. He also said the round was called the "wasp". Not casting shade on Mr. V, but no independent source has ever confirmed this. Everyone that says this is just repeating what Marco wrote.
7N6 terminal ballistics were so weird at the time of adoption that it turned into an urban legend of "bullets with displaced center of gravity" that were "designed to tumble unpredictably through the entire body and leave no possibility of recovery from the wound". In fact, it was just wack bullet design that gave it serious soft barrier deflection issues and delayed the adoption of 5.45 by everyone except the Soviet Army. This is actually the reason we still have new-manufacture and even new(ish) design 7.62*39 weapons today. 5.45 was supposed to entirely supersede it.
Yeah idk how people think it’s good lol I didn’t see much fragmentation compared to the m855 especially considering the 7n6 just fucking yeeted itself into oblivion why m855 retained more energy for sure
@@squidy4082 5.56 is generally superior when it comes to flesh damage. Especially M193, which is substantially more deadly than *any* 5.45 rounds. M193 will turn your insides into shreds.
@@Mkvine It's not meant to do any of those things. It's meant to punch through light cover and flak vests similarly to 7.62*39 but with ~double the rounds per soldier's loadout, and that's about it. Terminal ballistics is an afterthought in modern military cartridges. It's still plenty deadly, as both sides of the Chechen Wars quickly found out. A typical 3-rd burst out of an AK-74 will all land on the body, where it would either rupture an organ with that supersonic wound cavity you can see in the gels, and\or hit a bone and yaw in an unpredictable direction, often traveling a considerable distance. It DID earn a reputation of being purposely designed for maximum wounding, similar to the infamous "dum-dum" rounds of Anglo-Boer war. Now, issuing AKSUs loaded with it as police duty guns was a characteristic 90s Russia stopgap measure that introduced almost as many problems as it solved. But hey, the 90s were wild like that.

Funny thing, I've talked a bit about russian army with my girlfriends uncle, who served there in like late 80s/ early 90s. And one thing he talked about was "Shifted centre of gravity rounds". He said they were pretty rare and rounds effect was described to me as "enters eye, exists butthole". I thought it was some kind of anecdote, but watching this video provided some context to his stories. Maybe he wasn't bullshiting after all.

Its called the 'poison bullet' because people with seemingly minor or healing wounds, got sick and lost limbs or died, because they didn't understand that it left fragments in the wound.
what no? its just because of the gnarly wound cavity it would leave
@@kristian5632 no
It's from crappy field medicine common in 3rd world countries. Yes the fragmentation is part of it. But the thing also creates crazy wound channels (note plural) and couple that with the fragmentation & need to debride dead tissue it's not going to be a good outcome.
....... most gunshots end up with fragments being left in the wound, because the damage from surgery to retrieve them would be worse than just leaving the fragments.
I have something to tell you tho; the massive amount of heat that gets transferred to a bullet when it's fired out of the barrel, is more than enough to kill any viruses and bacteria that might have been on the projectile. So when you get hit with a bullet, it's completely sterile, assuming it wasn't a ricochet that hit some cow shit or something.
@@PotatoeJoe69 - when it goes through clothing it pulls fragments of textile into the wound.
I'm reminded of the old story about Nazi "spoon tip" rounds. Literally with an asymmetric scoop-shaped section out of the bullet, they were supposed to tumble on impact; and the gun shop sages had it that they were banned by the Geneva Convention. Ignoring the fact that it's actually the Hague Convention which covers small arms and ammo regulations, I always wondered how much truth there was behind that particular myth. It seems more likely to me they'd be simply discontinued due to what I imagine would've been awful accuracy, rather than _banned_ for their efficacy (cf. shotguns, flamethrowers, and all the other perpetual myths of this or that being banned for being "too brutal even for war").
Considering all the stupid bullshit the Nazi's did, and how absolutely useless most of it was(No, the Nazis did not have superior technology), I fully believe that the round exist, that it can barely hit anything, doesn't do what it's advertised to well, barely saw production run because they invented it in 1944 and any factories and materials that weren't destroyed already had to make conventional rounds, and that's why you've never seen it again
The damn Geneva convention, not letting me commit both warcrimes and crimes against humanity,
Can't use chemical gas, now this.
@@Yurik-the-marksman I miss my glass 12 gauge slugs😔
It's not a myth in a sense "there are no such bullets", it's just a ton of modern (and old as well) ammo behave like this. Soviet 5,45х39, whatever was used during Vietnam era by US, all those bullets deform and tumble like hell inside the body due to the fact that most of their mass is behind the point of contact, so it "drifts" like a car making a reckless turn. Plus there are expanding bullets which use post-hit deformation to inflict more damage as well, although they aren't exactly known for "tumbling" first and foremost.
Geneva convention couldn't have banned "Nazi spoon tip rounds" because no Geneva convention was held during the existence of Nazi Germany.. Nazis took power in 1933, started the war in 1939 and ceased to exist in 1945 after loosing the war they started. Geneva conventions closest to that timeframe been 1929 (before Nazis took power) and 1949 (after Nazis ceased to exist).. To be clear: when i say "ceased to exist" i'm referring to NSDAP original Nazis and not all those Neonazi / far right scumbags celebrating a comeback over here as well.. Greetings from Germany.
Funnily enough, 7N6 was never considered as an armor-piercing round. Rumor is it's utterly useless against body armor. Standard 7.62 (57-N-231) round had a lot more penetration than 7N6. This issue, however, was fixed in 7N10.
well it would be hell of a punch and broken ribs anyway
Yes. Since 1992, the standard cartridge has been 7n10. In 1994, he was replaced by 7n10m. 7n6 has not been produced for a long time, only Soviet stocks.

This episode had me dying laughing and it is clear to see that Charlie is a lot more intelligent than most ATF agents. Remember you don't need a 100 magazine clip in your machine gun and a 9 mm bullet will blow your lung out your chest.
I love how consistently inconsistent the 5.45 is and I wonder if it was designed to perform this way because all these strange ballistics would cause HORRIFIC wounds
The round that went fully vertical like 6 inches in is horrifying to think about.
I think one of the best things about a yawing bullet is that you can design an AP version without much effect on the lethality.
Yes it was designed to do that AFAIK, I have an AK shooter manual written by some old Spetznaz instructor and he wrote about the 5.45 ballistics and the horrifying wounds it caused in Afghanistan. Also, not totally relevant but apparently they would also boil their ammunition before trading it to the locals so that it wouldn't fire when the Mujahadeen eventually got it
Still not as horrifying as 5.56 which will explosively fragment in addition to yawing with significantly more energy that gets fully dispersed unlike 5.45 that stays together and exits. Idk why so many people attribute these nonsensical magical claims about Russian weapons haha. There's a reason the Russians haphazardly copied the 5.56 so quick, and made a less effective round in the process.
@@wooblydooblygod3857 Better to design a AP round like M855A1 which is excellent penetrator and still has horrifying fragmentation.

Yes… it blows the lungs out of the body
the core is not hardened. 7n6 has a hardened core, but it not ap yet. 7n22 (with black head) is solid, hardened and twice i saw it coming clean trough both front and back plates (dude survived, but it was rough). I cannot tell you anything about category of plates, as this was supplied by the volunteers (who buy everything everywhere, where it can be purchased) and mine for example was of another manyfacturer, purchased by different person.
It's soft steel that was used because it was cheap. You can find other calibers with rounds constructed this way.
@@jameshawkins8817 a lot of ppl just don't get that ussr was aiming for a total war, so they did everything to make things work on the cheap way)))

that's why two AK-74 you disassemble (i did, i know) would have so high tolerances and even different coloration, that you can see on some parts, that they come from different plants, made on different equipment, out of sligtly different metal. but it shoots, which is better than nothing
in fact in my hometown we had a factory, that produced umbrellas (as well as huge variety of other things, including one of the first soviet calculators) and they had this emergency plan of how they will in less than 7 days switch to weapon production as ak can be made even at home if you have the proper pair of hands and tools

It's the air pocket in the nose of the round that makes it YAW like a mofo. As soon as the 7n6 bullet strikes an object more dense than air that airpocket in the nose changes the center of gravity for the bullet. This is what causes the tremendous destabilization and yawning on impact.

@@clapper3530 It absolutely does have to do with cavitation. The sonoluminescence is a dead giveaway to that.
@@clapper3530 actually it does.
Kind of like how depth charges work, the sudden expansion of the gel creates a bubble. When it collapses, both exits seal first so the gasses are trapped inside. Then, the gel forces the the gasses into a smaller space, increasing the pressure.
It gets to a point where it's essentially an explosion caused by the sudden jump in pressure causing a form of combustion.
So yes.

Have you ever addressed the effect of the "diesel explosion" that can be seen when the temporary expansion cavity collapses ans compresses the vaporized block material in the cavity void? Sometimes (on other tests) there is even a "puff" of combustion products that can be seen being expelled from the block upon the second cavity collapse. There must be quite a bit of additional damage caused by the heat and shock of the explosion.
I believe it's called sonoluminescence
From what I understand the temporary cavity pulls some air in, and then creates a lot of heat and pressure when it rapidly collapses which causes the little explosion. I'm not an expert here but that's what I've gathered.
It showed up in this video.
They do address it in many of their videos.
The same thing does not happen in a human torso because its not a solid block of gel. Its a cavity full of more cavities and organs

Charlie's bull&atf agent joke is hilarious
This "poison bullet" is capable of doing significant damage even when fired from further away. The 5.56 suffers diminished velocity out of shorter barrels and longer distance. When that happens, it loses the ability to fragment and tends to punch a small hole in the target and causes little damage. I also imagine that a surgeon is going to have an easier time locating and removing a bullet that travels a straight path compared to one that curves after hitting the body.
M193 more than makes up for what m855 lacks out of lesser sized barrels. True M193 can easily leave 16" barrels at 3100 fps and is surprisingly accurate. Absolutely chews up flesh and will fragment and yaw while creating a larger permanent wound cavity. It's downfall? Honestly not much for civilians standards but for a duty round not so much due to not doing so hot through barriers. That's where bonded bullets come in and absolutely shine. Both federal & Speer have bonded softpoints that perform amazing through all barriers and will perform from 1750fps all the way up to 3500, "if someone feels the need to pull the bullet and load to their own 556 pressures", leaving the round able to perform from a few feet out to 600 yards... It's downfall? Damn things are exspensive as hell....
bro this shit too confusing, thats why I just stuff hollow points into a shotgun barrel, simple, gun go boom and brains go splat
Even M855 tumbles and skews in flesh from the 14.5" barrel of an M4 although M193 is better.
@Luke Koenig It is void of toxic chemicals that would be considered by most as a poison. It causes impressive ballistic damage that results in fatalities at a higher rate than expected for the size of that bullet.
@@cgsimons1187 I think the "poison bullet" designation comes from a single source, Marco Vorobiev who served with the Red Army in Afghanistan. He also said the round was called the "wasp". Not casting shade on Mr. V, but no independent source has ever confirmed this. Everyone that says this is just repeating what Marco wrote.
As a Canadian (unfortunately). that was some solid dad advice. Thanks Charlie
Cheap on amazon
Small tidbit, all 7n6 was upgraded to 7n6m standard around 87-89, iirc. Harder penetrator and hotter powder charge.
I’m holding out until they release the 7N6 Pro Max Plus subscription model with DLC.
I love the ballistic slow mo cut ins and sound effects
that was one of your most entertaining vids yet Charlie clearly has earned his degree. lookin forward to your more serious survival series.
Happy Father’s Day dad!
+1
Charlie's persona is great, love it. Garand's glasses...PIMP!
Informational value - solid and not stretched out beyond interest as some others do 🤙🏼
informative yet funny great content
The production value of this episode was off the charts.
7N6 terminal ballistics were so weird at the time of adoption that it turned into an urban legend of "bullets with displaced center of gravity" that were "designed to tumble unpredictably through the entire body and leave no possibility of recovery from the wound". In fact, it was just wack bullet design that gave it serious soft barrier deflection issues and delayed the adoption of 5.45 by everyone except the Soviet Army. This is actually the reason we still have new-manufacture and even new(ish) design 7.62*39 weapons today. 5.45 was supposed to entirely supersede it.
Yeah idk how people think it’s good lol I didn’t see much fragmentation compared to the m855 especially considering the 7n6 just fucking yeeted itself into oblivion why m855 retained more energy for sure
@@squidy4082 5.56 is generally superior when it comes to flesh damage. Especially M193, which is substantially more deadly than *any* 5.45 rounds. M193 will turn your insides into shreds.
@@squidy4082 it’s not meant to fragment, it’s meant to yaw.
@@Mkvine well They just proved it’s not for body armor so what’s the point of not fragmenting
@@Mkvine It's not meant to do any of those things. It's meant to punch through light cover and flak vests similarly to 7.62*39 but with ~double the rounds per soldier's loadout, and that's about it. Terminal ballistics is an afterthought in modern military cartridges.
It's still plenty deadly, as both sides of the Chechen Wars quickly found out. A typical 3-rd burst out of an AK-74 will all land on the body, where it would either rupture an organ with that supersonic wound cavity you can see in the gels, and\or hit a bone and yaw in an unpredictable direction, often traveling a considerable distance. It DID earn a reputation of being purposely designed for maximum wounding, similar to the infamous "dum-dum" rounds of Anglo-Boer war.
Now, issuing AKSUs loaded with it as police duty guns was a characteristic 90s Russia stopgap measure that introduced almost as many problems as it solved. But hey, the 90s were wild like that.
There's a weird poetic synchronicity to where the timestamp at 5:56 lines up with.
