  1. Penetration test 5.45 7.62x39 308 5.56

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted

    I've seen numerous tests in gel and animal carcasses where the round did not produce a significant wound channel or tissue damage. The Afghanis called it the Poison Bullet because it didn't necessarily kill immediately. First hand experience from being over there, the weapons being recovered are 7.62 x 39/54 mm, not 5.45. It is an interesting video showing penetration in cover versus wound characteristics. Ballistics gel behind the tree would have been a good test.

     

    I can corroborate and confirm.

    7.62X39 or X54 are the calibers of choice, hands down over there.

  8. Snagged a WASR

    Nice pick up...I have been wanting to snag up another AK for quite some time to use as a trunk gun but put it off too long and now they are almost impossible to find. Maybe I should start following the UPS trucks around lol...

    It took me a week of disappointment!

    The employees thought I was crazy.

    BTW, it shipped from Century on an order placed first week of December.

    There should be more stores still getting them in.

    Keep followin' those Brown Trucks!

    I thought all the promags were marked as well. Plus it dont look like a promag floorplate. Havent seen any of their clear mags though. Plus it looks like its got a 30rd ct. hole, and my black pro mag dont have that either.

    It has NO markings anywhere. Took it apart and nothing is marked.

  14. AK Magazine ID Help!

    Posted · Edited by armory

    Need some help Identifying a magazine I stumbled across today.

    The gentleman in the old time gun shop had (4) AK47 magazines, he ALLOWED me to purchase only (1) magazine, for $25.

    I chose this waffle pattern, clear/smoke 30 rounder plastic with no identification on it, anywhere.

     

    Is it Bulgarian? No circle 10 marks....

    Is it Tapco? or Promag? I thought they all were marked as such.....
