My Mosin Nagant can punch 1/4" steel no prob with bulk corrosive ammo @ 100yds... of course green tip will do it. It should punch through light mobile armor, believe it or not steel is a terrible thing to hide behind. Get a sandbag or two instead.
I am a firm believer in the 62 gr. tip; it's all I run through my weapon. I agree that one is best served by shooting 5.56 NATO as opposed the Remington .223 55gr. if your twist is a 1/7....
If you have a 1 in 7 twist barrel, you should be shooting the 62 gr ammo and not 55 gr. I saw a big increase in accuracy in mine. The 55 gr "overstabilizes" at that high twist rate.
Our local range, with steel target frames, has a rule: "No steel-cored ammo." And you can see what happens when someone breaks the rule! They've taken to checking ammo people bring in with a magnet. :)
Just picked up a thousand rounds of this ammo. It was on sale all over at Christmas. My Mini likes it and seems to shoot the 62 gr a little tighter than the 55gr..
I doubt very much that you need "penetrator" bullets of any type to defeat 1/4-inch mild steel with a .223 rifle. A hollow-point varmint load would probably make a slightly bigger hole and still exit the back of the plate with energy to spare.
@TheKodiak72: Good idea. I'm afraid we're out of 1/4-inch plate at the moment, and the local steel distributor is closed for the weekend, but I'll see if I can make that video sometime next week.
@TheIdahoanShow .22Lr wont penetrate. I weld on A36 steel all day in school and i also have to go through Metallurgy. A .17 HMR would ricochet right off. The Mil-scale alone on that steel gives a .01" layer over the steel. A JHP bullet may penetrate the steel but wont have enough energy to dig much more than 4" into a hardwood log.
@SgtBaker0707 - not interested but thanks. I'm sure there's a club in your area for that where you can easily find someone who shares your sexual preference and who also has no sense of humor. Perfect match : )
@powmful - need it for what exactly? if by knock off you mean can cleanly go through 1/4" of steel and maintain some ballistic energy I don't to see an issue for pretty much any purpose.
God bless the survivor of Sangin, he took one of those to the kevlar. Though it went all the way through, it just spun inside his scalp. He gets to keep that kevlar, what a story to be told!
Green tip ammo isnt good for ar barrels. They cut down the life of the barrel because they are harder than normal rounds. They are typically designed for LMG's. You can shoot them but over use in an AR will result in a shot barrel.
@Kylef7735 To all of you know it alls, this information come directly from Stag arms themselves. You see stag Ar's come with a lifetime warranty on their barrels, meaning that when your barrel gets shot you send it back and they send you a new one. When sending my barrel back the man asked me if i shoot green tips. I told him less than 200 probably. It was at that point he informed me what information i told you. Seeing as my information come from Stag arms themselves. I belived it.
@Kylef7735 You are really showing how vast your knowledge is. What gives green tip the ability to punch through steel? The copper jacket has nothing to do with it. What is beneath the copper jacket? A steel perpetrator that is harder than the typical 5.56 round. That is why when the bullet is forced down the barrel it doesnt squeeze through as easy. Also the reason why it wears down the barrel faster. So dont argue unless you know ALL the facts.
@sethbargo At no point does the steel touch the barrel, it is is barely half the diameter of the 223 round, just cause it has a steel core doesnt mean the outer covering of the bullet is any harder.
@sethbargo you're a moron, and Stag arms is wrong. This myth, and it is exactly that, has been debunked. Have you ever looked at a sectioned SS109 bullet? The steel penetrator is at the tip of the round. The area where the lands would contact the bullet is, you guessed it, all copper and lead. Helps to have all the facts doesn't it? ;)

I miss the days in the Infantry when we would get cans upon cans of green tip ammo and just go shooting, practicing marksmanship and CQB. Good times. Great video!
@AaronMarbut depends on where you get them. Best bet is to get these in bulk. They come in their own .30cal all weather military ammo can. They normally come 420 rounds each on a 10 round striper clip and 30 rounds to a box from anywhere $130.00 - $160.00 or loose 1,000 rounds for $300.00 - $350.00 on Cheaper Than Dirt. As a matter of fact I just picked up the 420 round deal because they had a holiday sale.
@WeekendWarrior556 identification purposes, typically ammo is loose in the field so the green tip automatically identifies the round. Tracer rounds have a yellow/orange tip, and true M955 armor piercing rounds have a black tip.
@unit5099 i do belive the burnt looking is called anealiing, a process used to prolong case life. if those were reloaded you would see scuff marks on the case neck.
I bought a 420-round can of these at the local Walmart (hate that store, but cheap ammo) last week. I was running low on my favorite Black Hills V-Max tip 60gr, which I can group inside of a nickel (no lie) at 100 yards regularly. I loaded up some of this ammo, and it has to be THE WORST ammo I've ever used. Brace-centered, the "group" is 18-INCHES at 100 yards! It's ALL OVER THE PLACE! High-right, low-left, it's a disaster if you're someone who relies on tight shot selection. This stuff SUCKS!
i bought a 45lb weigh lifting plate and 9 mm and 357 made chaulky marks on it. Greentip out of my mini14 went straight threw and the plate broke into chunks after 80 rounds.
Well made video, thanx for posting this. Quick question: is this the same green tip the Delta Operators complained about during Somalia? They stated the rounds would pierce through like a laser and the skinnies would just keep on running.
Hi, I have some 5.56 m858 round (green tipped) manufactured by PMC. However, on the bottom of the case there isn't NATO cross carved in on the PMC rounds. Does that mean those round aren't as effective once comes to penetration power?
Strange, I always though the greentips had a more powerful gunpowder mix in them and ordinary bullets because back in the army they didn't let us use them on the m16a1, only rifles with a reinforced barrel.
Are these one of the most bad ass 5.56 nato rounds a civilian can purchase? Considering it has that steel core follower, I think it would be. I am looking at a set of 10 in stripper clips sitting next to my laptop as I am writing this. They are just calling out my name to shoot them! Now! haha
After watching this demo, will these rounds penetrate the average to above average bullet proof vests? I've read on internet forums that they are NOT armor piercing rounds, but I'm confused because this guy just showed them go through a quarter of an inch of steel. Isn't that basically piercing armor? I know it all depends on the "thickness" of the steel, but how often is something going to be much thicker than a 1/4 inch? If anyone can give me some info on this it would be appreciated.
@Sennanchie 5.56mm ball ammo will go through all kinds of soft body armour very easily, although anything above Level 2 armour will stop it. I can't imagine there are too many types of wearable protective equipment that will stop these green-tip rounds, short of the very best ceramic plates.
I've seen Chuck Norris penetrate 1" of hardened steel with a spitball he made by chewing the rusty nails he pulled out of an outhouse door with his teeth. The outhouse stank really bad till Chuck got there and scared the $hit out of it.
could you tell me why sometimes we see the bullet ,(i mean the brass) is like a half burn color?the upper part has a different color,it seems to be burnt,isn't it?
could tell me why sometimes we see the bullet ,(i mean the brass) is like a half burn color?the upper part has a different color,it seems to be burnt,isn't it?
A standard ball round will accomplish the same effect on 1/4" steel though with less penetration into the wood. Now a a green tip on 3/4" to 1" steep plate would make an interesting video. ;)
you can buy M855's in bulk for around $160-170, i use them to practice with at the range, and i use them to hunt Feral Swine, because the steelcore goes right through the "shield" on the shoulder of the hog.
Federal XM855LC1 AC1 5.56x45 62gr. FMJ BALL 420 RD. Stripper Clips, comes with the stripper clip loader in the ammo can. they are stamped the same as the "green Tips" i used in the Army as an Infantryman. i love 'em!
@vipervenom1000r - Thanks for your insight. It's always interesting to hear from folks in the military that have experience with this stuff. I can tell you, that Federal XM855 has some serious penetration through steel. I posted a video of a test we did and it is serious stuff!
found it really interesting too, when you calculate it (yeah i was that nerdy), the distance between both noises is nearly 0,15 seconds, while sound needs 0,2 seconds to travel the 80yards/65meters.
would mean the bullet arrives 0,05 seconds after firing, compared to the 0,2 seconds the bullet was 4 times faster than speed of sound, that is 1360m/s!!!...but could also be a effect caused by the inbuilt camera mic that pushes the volume level down after the impact...
@fitzeflinger haha wow great job! my mathematical knowledge is specialised in statistics since i study psychology, so i'm impressed! that's very interesting but you're right that's what i thought too, it could be an effect caused by the mic in the camera. whenever you travel to switzerland with a gun in your bag just swing by and we'll do some experiments ;)
GREEN TIP OR not any223,5.56 ammo will go through 1/4 steel. i used all 55 grain ammo good ammo and crappy ammo and all had the same effect. in and out like butter.
you dont need a penetrator to get through 1/4 normal steel like that, you dont even need penetrators to get through 3/8ths hardened steel, movable target at 200 yards.
Amazing! How it can penetrate to that thick steel. The arm forces should use heavy metals on 556 instead of just steel core... like thungsten or depleted uranium. Those sucker will go through any hard object.
You want to see something even cooler then this, shoot that same piece of steel with a 45-70 govt. model rifle slug. It will go through that steel also, but it won't make such a pretty hole, it makes a giant rip of a hole. A big rip of a hole. And the interesting thing is that a .223 that is not the steel core will not go through that steel, almost, a nice crater, but no penetration.
@Delticola Regular 5.56 55 Grain FMJ punches through 3/8" mild steel at 100 yards no problem, trust me I tear up plates all the time, but since I get them free I don't worry about it. Now if your talking AR abrasion resistant plates of Brinell 400 are above 3/8 inch will stop it, but its expensive steel.
@VapoRTraiL111 yeah, I was just about to say that I've put regular FMJ rounds through quarter inch plates before... just like butter... and they'll go through eighth inch steel at quite a steep angle as well :) my experience falls short when discussing the types of steel though :P
Be careful doing this fellas, that steel core can come back at you if it doesn't penetrate. The same will happen with any steel core ammo such as 7.62x39 or 7.62x54 even black tipped 30-06 armor piercing rounds if the plate is too thick
My Mosin Nagant can punch 1/4" steel no prob with bulk corrosive ammo @ 100yds... of course green tip will do it. It should punch through light mobile armor, believe it or not steel is a terrible thing to hide behind. Get a sandbag or two instead.

I've seen Chuck Norris penetrate 1" of hardened steel with a spitball he made by chewing the rusty nails he pulled out of an outhouse door with his teeth. The outhouse stank really bad till Chuck got there and scared the $hit out of it.

@akhladi2 It's called an annealed case. Heat treated brass.
The process makes the neck of the case look discolored.

Excellent question about the brass discoloration. I have some of these rounds and wondered about that myself but never asked anyone.

A standard ball round will accomplish the same effect on 1/4" steel though with less penetration into the wood. Now a a green tip on 3/4" to 1" steep plate would make an interesting video. ;)

you can buy M855's in bulk for around $160-170, i use them to practice with at the range, and i use them to hunt Feral Swine, because the steelcore goes right through the "shield" on the shoulder of the hog.
Federal XM855LC1 AC1 5.56x45 62gr. FMJ BALL 420 RD. Stripper Clips, comes with the stripper clip loader in the ammo can. they are stamped the same as the "green Tips" i used in the Army as an Infantryman. i love 'em!

@vipervenom1000r - Thanks for your insight. It's always interesting to hear from folks in the military that have experience with this stuff. I can tell you, that Federal XM855 has some serious penetration through steel. I posted a video of a test we did and it is serious stuff!

i love how the camera captures the sound of the bullet hitting the steel plate before it captures the sound of the gun being fired, amazing
thmaeder 3 months ago
@thmaeder
found it really interesting too, when you calculate it (yeah i was that nerdy), the distance between both noises is nearly 0,15 seconds, while sound needs 0,2 seconds to travel the 80yards/65meters.
would mean the bullet arrives 0,05 seconds after firing, compared to the 0,2 seconds the bullet was 4 times faster than speed of sound, that is 1360m/s!!!...but could also be a effect caused by the inbuilt camera mic that pushes the volume level down after the impact...
fitzeflinger 3 months ago
@fitzeflinger
oh i mean 72 meters :D that makes 0,21seconds before the sound arrives, doesn't make that much of a difference though...
fitzeflinger 3 months ago
@fitzeflinger haha wow great job! my mathematical knowledge is specialised in statistics since i study psychology, so i'm impressed! that's very interesting but you're right that's what i thought too, it could be an effect caused by the mic in the camera. whenever you travel to switzerland with a gun in your bag just swing by and we'll do some experiments ;)

If you get a twig and stick it in the hole you can check the depth of penatrtion .Welding rod works better.

you dont need a penetrator to get through 1/4 normal steel like that, you dont even need penetrators to get through 3/8ths hardened steel, movable target at 200 yards.

Amazing! How it can penetrate to that thick steel. The arm forces should use heavy metals on 556 instead of just steel core... like thungsten or depleted uranium. Those sucker will go through any hard object.

dumbenoughou812 4 months ago
You want to see something even cooler then this, shoot that same piece of steel with a 45-70 govt. model rifle slug. It will go through that steel also, but it won't make such a pretty hole, it makes a giant rip of a hole. A big rip of a hole. And the interesting thing is that a .223 that is not the steel core will not go through that steel, almost, a nice crater, but no penetration.

@Delticola Regular 5.56 55 Grain FMJ punches through 3/8" mild steel at 100 yards no problem, trust me I tear up plates all the time, but since I get them free I don't worry about it. Now if your talking AR abrasion resistant plates of Brinell 400 are above 3/8 inch will stop it, but its expensive steel.
VapoRTraiL111 4 months ago
@VapoRTraiL111 yeah, I was just about to say that I've put regular FMJ rounds through quarter inch plates before... just like butter... and they'll go through eighth inch steel at quite a steep angle as well :) my experience falls short when discussing the types of steel though :P

Be careful doing this fellas, that steel core can come back at you if it doesn't penetrate. The same will happen with any steel core ammo such as 7.62x39 or 7.62x54 even black tipped 30-06 armor piercing rounds if the plate is too thick
