I've read the big combat report about Korea, I found an instance where an enemy was shot in the chest with an m1 carbine, and he failed to stop running, but this wasn't because the round stopped in his clothing. I can find no actual report of clothing stopping an M1 carbine round and I assume it's a myth based on the real incident I mentioned. It'd have to be a pretty long range shot for clothing to stop an M1 carbine round, long enough that you probably wouldn't see the enemy get hit.
For the 7.62 Nagant, I’m wondering whether commercial or military surplus ammo was used. I ran a very similar test some years ago between the two (using phone books instead of wooden boards) and found there was a drastic difference between the two, with the milsurp stuff penetrating more than 2x the modern commercial stuff. The commercial stuff is extremely underpowered.
I was using PPU… my friend Will has done FPS testing with a chronograph on similar rifles and pistols. I’ve also read many sources that indicate the commercial stuff is underpowered for liability reasons. Either way, I added a note in the description indicating that modern manufactured ammo may not be loaded to military spec.
The Haig Convention addressed expanding munitions. The United States and Great Britain did not sign.
Ah yes you correct there sir
Very nice awesome penetration test video,i have to say it is best penetration test video i have ever seen 👍👍.keep it up.thank for sharing
Thank you!
Haven’t had time to watch it yet but I’m sure it’s going to be great! What a cool way to test.
my favorite is the c96 broomhandle :)
Indeed! very interesting and unique 1800s era semi-auto pistol!
I'm actually surprised to see a m57 Tokarev without a frame safety. so many of those had them things put in for import.
Classic had a batch some years ago with a trigger safety. I’m sure people just switched out the triggers
@@BattlefieldCurator nice
But on the m1 carbine you should’ve put two layers of heavy wool jacket in front. Isn’t that what they claim stopped the m1 in Korea?
