Which Type of Ammunition Should I Use In My AR-15 for Home Defense?

  • Have you wondered why so many people say that the 5.56 round has no stopping power? It isn’t necessarily due to the size of the round as much as the type of round in many cases. One of the most common rounds used is the “Green Tip” round which is designed for greater penetration through hardened targets. So in the case that your attacker is wearing no type of armor or tough fabrics the round may be penetrating to far. Using other types of ammunition might be more suitable, such as match grade hollow points for long distance precision or frangible ammunition as they both do more damage on thinner targets. We commonly understand this similar concept using hollow point or frangible ammunition for self defense with our pistols.

    I know someone that shot a 40 cal in the house, full metal jacket, it went through the corner of the wall, went through metal sheet, bended that open, went off the tile into the wood drawer partially connecting on the side of the drawer skidding, and then went into the wooden drawer and only then expanded.
    Most 5.56 is even more penetrating, it will fucking clear that and go further.
    Only hollows man.
    That FMJ is is a scary round in the house, don't underestimate it.
    Armor piercing inside the house is borderline criminal round to use for home defense, it will clear the neighbors house too...from any "intruders"

      Actually, fmj 556 has been shown not to penetrate the way you think it would.. this is because it acts CRAZY in a soft target. Flipping arounf backwards, tumbling, ect.. causing MASSIVE INTERNAL DAMAGE IN THE PROCESS. You would think it would clear 60 inches lol, but it simply dont.. however as a miss, going thru hard targets, your theory has a lot more provable merit... I use a 556 for home defense. All ball rounds. But i live in the woods.. if i lived in an apartment , i wouldnt... Id use my shotgun or handguns, ether loaded with proper ammo... I cant see using a green tip for home defense.. and really, a rifle is limited in a home defense scenario... Even ar pistols are bigger , bulkie, and more dangerous for innocents that than a pistol... If im living in close proximity to other people, i just dont feel like a problem is coming that a 17 round magazine in a glock 17 isnt gonna be able to handle... Thats just me...all im saying is in my personal opinion, if i kill a bad guy, a home intruder, but flatline the 7 year old kid next door, that isnt a win or a success to me....

    Mil Vet here. By stacking your mag like that, you're adding lethal "variables" to a potential gunfight (which is likely to get you/neighbors/loved ones killed). Green tip should not be in any home defense mag.I like you, and I like your channel, but IMHO with that loadout there are too many things that can go wrong, and (despite the best intentions) you can never take a bullet back.

    This is pretty bad advice - don’t mix rounds in the mags. Assuming everything is reliable, how do you intend on keeping track of what order you’re in? Also, it really doesn’t matter. Most likely, whoever is breaking into your home isn’t wearing armor and they will be very close. 55gr will reliably fragment.

    Our State Troopers load their 30 round mags with 77 grain hollow points. During testing, no body armor ever stopped the 77 grain hollow points. Yes they expand quickly, however the velocity of the 223 is just to much for any vest on the present market today. When the need is to "KILL" the bad guy, you want a round that is going to go in the body and blow shit up! period. Also, in regard to the "mean green tip" penetrating car doors, would any of you want to volunteer to stand behind a car door and have someone fire 77 grain hollow points at you......just saying.

    If I were going to mix my ammo, it would be in a logical progression, from lighter penetration to moderate. Probably two types at most. If I thought an attacker wearing body armor was a significant threat, I would keep a separate mag of appropriate ammo.
    To each his own though. I appreciate that you share YOUR approach without telling others what THEY need. We have enough of that with the left telling us how to live our lives.

    40gr nobler ballistic tips put the damage on an organic target without going through them (overpenetration) but can still shoot decently through a solid surface (car, wooden outbuilding wall with bad guy doing the Somali overhead spray and pray, or something like kitchen cabinets or refrigerator they may be taking cover behind) and when loaded properly come out very fast from shorter 556 platforms including very accurately out of a 7.5” pistol. Would love to see more testing on these light ballistic tip rounds on gel and barriers.

      That's FMJ round, not even armor piercing.

    Green tips were initially designed to penetrate a specific Russian steel helmet also it was designed around a 20in barrel ie the a2 or a4 platform. That is why folks talk about the ice pick wounds from the 14.5 barrel m4 it doesn't have the velocity to tumble upon impact. Yes it will penetrate some soft armor but it is not and has never been classified as an armor piercing round. Speed kills armor and the 855 is just slower than 193 this is also one of the reasons the Army is swapping to the 855a1 round with Bismuth steel exposed penetrator and solid copper projectiles. Love you videos but you were off base with you initial data on the round, which us consequently the reason folks jump up and down scream and holler about armor piercing

The difference between cover and concealment. Great video Rich !

    I always look at green tips as the intermediate answer to defeating barriers which isn't actually an answer. Legit arrow head hardened penetrators seem all around good for defeating barriers as well as penetrating hard surfaces in order to still deliver kills, and obviously defeating armor. Green tips seem more like a round which may more quickly tear up light cover a little better than regular ball ammo. This sounds good to someone who may be used to hearing and seeing their cover getting annihilated by 30 caliber rounds. The ballistics seem ok too but you also seem to get better armor penetration with hotter standard ammo if it's going a bit over 3100fps. 2800 or so kind of defeats the purpose of penetration if it's a mild core sliver that won't defeat what a 3150fps round will. So it leaves me thinking standard ball ammo or hollow/soft point, and I suppose it sometimes goes down to factors like me living in a condo and regular ball probably not being the best idea. Gold Dot it is then.

      @@imnotimpressedbyourperform2460 I honestly don’t remember the specifics of this video, but ammunition choice for home defense should 100% be a well thought out decision. In some homes you might come out of the master bedroom with your kids room on the other side of the living area. Largely depends on layout of home. For me I use a 11.5” ar. I choose to use 77gr .223 instead of 5.56. This is due to the fact that in the layout of my home there is a window where I could possibly send a flyer into an adjacent room. .223 is a lighter load and will send the round at a slower velocity out of the shorter barrel than a 5.56 would. Most factory .223 velocity numbers on the box are data out of a 20-24” barrel that I know of. When shot out of a 11.5 you are barely at the effective velocity for the round to do what it is supposed to do. So if I make a good hit it will have lost most of its velocity and the fear of the almighty “over-penetration” is lessened. Just my thoughts. Always love a good discussion on this matter though. This is how we keep the community from being so toxic.

    So I agree and disagree at the same time with this video. I agree that this is a good home defense set-up, for his home. From what I understand he lives on a farm with a good bit of land, and I would assume in a very rural area. So a 60rd mag and green tip ammo makes sense. The time for law enforcement to arrive is probably an eternity. Plus the chances of him shooting at target outside his home and potentially behind cover is higher. So for that situation I can see how this would work. But I disagree in the sense that for your average suburb/city dweller, a 30rds of HP or FMJ would be plenty.

      A 556 pistol in a home with no ears on is gonna suck lol. They are way loud! Louder than most hunting rifles. 223s are the worst on the ears and combine that while being inside with a 10.5inch barrel and you'll definitely have some hearing loss. Unless you got hearing aids on. A 9mm scorpion would be a better option if you had kids in the house. I personally think. Not as loud and most likely wouldn't penetrate walls as deep. Easier for the wife and potentially small kids to shoot if you aren't home. These days though. Man those robbers break in by the 3's, 4's, and 5's. I'd get the AR pistol with a good 30rd mag and a solid muzzle break. Lol

      9mm, man.
      I am talking about ballistics first, not just the sound as the guy above me said.
      I know someone that shot a 40 cal in the house, full metal jacket, it went through the corner of the wall, went through metal sheet, bended that open, went off the tile into the wood drawer partially connecting on the side, and then went into the wooden drawer and only then expanded.
      Most 5.56 is even more penetrating, it will fucking clear that and go further.
      9mm with hollows...only hollows man.
      That FMJ is is a scary round in the house, don't underestimate it.
      Armor piercing inside the house is borderline criminal round to use for home defense, it will clear the neighbors house too...from any "intruders"

      LPVOs gives the shooter the ability to aquire the target very quickly and it also allows for longer shots if necessary. I personally have a 12 gauge for home defense but if a rifle is what you have, especially an AR-15, the LPVO is good to go, not the only option but a good one.

    1. Most home defense scenarios don’t end up with high round count shootouts, bad guys will always take off running after the first bang. The 60 rd magazine is unnecessary weight. If you’re that worried just toss a second 30 rd mag in your pijamas.
    2. Most home intruders don’t wear body armor, the only thing you’ll do with green tip is shoot through your neighbors bedroom wall and risk injury to others.
    For home defense I’d go from 5.56 to a lower pressure and heavier round. A 64-77 grain hollowpoint chambered in .223 would be ideal. The heavier, slower round will stay in the bad guy, causing more damage to him/her and less chances of over-penetration.

      I don't know how the culture in Sweden is, but here in the U.S., firearms are a huge topic as they are part of our constitutional history and heritage. It isn't always about self protection. Funny enough, in my experience, the people who hunt regularly rarely talk about firearms, and most of the ones I talk to just know the basics like the difference between shotguns and rifles or popular rounds (.308, .223, 12 gauge etc.).
      It all depends on where you're located in the U.S. and who you talk to. Some folks just see firearms/shooting as a cool hobby. Those types are usually the ones who are adamantly against gun control, and are "loud & proud" when it comes to the second amendment.
      Then there people who have a gun for self defense, but rarely shoot, and never talk about firearms.
      I live in the south by the way. I've lived in four different states with one of those being up north for a brief time. It is interesting how different the thinking is among the different states and people. In my experience though, the more knowledgeable and experienced people with firearms are typically the least violent and aggressive. Yes, they'll talk your ears off about the constitution and hypothetical scenarios that they are prepared for, but I've personally never felt threatened by them. They usually see us (Americans) as all one team that should unite against tyranny and defend our rights.

    A major problem with using high pressure ammo for home defense, is significant ear damage (ruptured ear drums, etc) caused by such high pressure rounds being fired inside in relatively small spaces. For this reason I personally do not use 5.56, 357 Mag, etc. for home defense. In 357 Mag revolvers, I use 38 Special, preferring the reliable, street proven stopper 158 gr lead HP's at around 1000 fps from a 4" revolver, and use the same in 357 Mag lever action rifles. The 9mm in standard pressure is good for home defense and the 9mm carbines are superb little substitutes for the AR 15 for indoor use. I like having the 38 revolvers and lever actions AND the 9mm pistols and carbines on hand, because the experienced gun handlers in the family can use the 9mm pistol/carbine and those of little gun experience can easily be taught the use of revolvers and lever action. Pump shotguns in 12 gauge are inexpensive and a necessity in any home defense arsenal. Nothing more intimidating to a crowd outside your home than 3 or 4 family members who are armed with 12 gauge pump shotguns, watching that crowd!
