.223/5.56 and 7.62x39 VS 2 55 Gallon steel barrels, sealed

(THIS WAS NOT A BALLISTICS TEST, JUST FOR FUN!!!) I took 2 55 gallon barrels, filled them to the brim with water and sealed them and let 30 rounds of each caliber into them. Just havin' fun. Didn't take the time to aim really, just kinda held them up and blasted away, I wanted to enjoy the show too =P

I see what your saying but when it comes to soft tissue that 223 does a lot more damage not just in n out

@dd7381 That is assuming you have a direct hit. You have to take into consideration the fact that in a war situation, or self defense you rarely get the chance to put in a perfect shot. Usually there will be barriers and other factors surrounding you. I look at it as picking the tool for the job...I'm not going to keep only a philips screwdriver in my toolbox JUST because I like that....sometimes you need a flathead.

Lol .223 rounds are no sissy rounds..

.223 rounds will hit targets farther then ak rounds.. ... Ha

[dawgtorsa]

@joespaper There are a lot of factors to consider. In some situations I'd prefer the 5.56, in others I'd prefer the 7.62.

@dawgtorsa sissy ass 223 california round..that round will blow your head up at 500 yards

Decent vid glad ur into guns and all but I would like you to do this test again and not be in pistol range.Do a more realistic demonstration at realistic range like 200-400meters. Be sure to use an Ak47 not an AR in 7.62 and use current military ammo for each round so no Russian 55grn steel cased crap. Get some 62grn Lakecity green tip penetrators for the AR. After this you may be happy with 5.56. the 7.62 is more powerful but that don't mean a damn thing if u cant hit what u need to.

223cal suks big time only 55 gr that round is 22 cal ok dumb ass bitches..

[zooders]

@joespaper no they wont...you put both rounds in a similar platform and you will see how wrong you are. the smaller and lighter the bullet, the faster it slows down and more it is affected by gravity and wind...the one that is more than twice as heavy wont have nearly the same thing happen...physics win again.

@KKKoonhater6669420 I was just blasting away and I had a bit of a loose grip, it was more of a "bump-fire" than anything. I was just having a bit too much fun ;) Watching targets spray things everywhere is exciting ;) haha

[dawgtorsa]

@TheHomestuck I think so. I think the AR-15/M16 is great as well. Both have positives and negatives :)

[KKKoonhater6669420]

@dawgtorsa i have a wasr 10 and every once in a blue moon it will go full auto for only 2 or 3 rounds (its a semi). i couldnt help but hear that happen in the video, did it?
