556 vs 300BLK - How Many Paper Plates??? 

How about doing a .223 (55.6) vs. 762x39 how many papers plates? (P.S) 🙏PLEEEEEEASE 🙏

MR. Help test to books

Nice range WHO_TEE_WHO

All went in the trash

Love this demonstration!

That’s the thing, you don’t need a “Plate Carrier”, just wrap yourself in enough paper plates and you’re good.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

PLATE Carrier... muahahahaaa, good one.

Duct tape is your friend ...

Enuff ductape and you won't need the plates, duct armor.

Neither do i!

IMO the 556 has more destruction no??

5.56 Spaulding is beautiful would rather die quicker go with 5.56

Well I don’t wanna be hit with a BB gun but I mean it could happen

I don't want to be hit with pigeon poo, so what's the point?

Yeah, otherwise next picnic the wife will be asking "what the fuck happened to these plates?"

@@MikeNaples yeah after the sauces poured on to her shoes.

In rifles, it doesn't matter how long the barrel is, 300 AAC is always the better round for penetration and energy and 5.56/.223 will always win in velocity. The reason 300 blackout got a reputation for being a short barrel cartridge is because it outperforms in short barrels, but it also outperforms in longer barrels. That's just ballistics at work. The maximum benefit of 300 blackout is actually at 18" barrel lengths, although at 16" you're getting pretty close. Obviously 300 blackout is one of the best pistol/carbine options, but the reason to choose 300 or 5.56/.223 for a rifle isn't barrel length, but whether you want tumbling. 5.56/.223 tumble and are going to do larger wound cavities but with less penetration (especially barrier penetration), but 300 AAC is going to penetrate more and create more hydrostatic shock. If all you care about is penetration then 300 blackout takes a back seat to .308 (7.62x51) and 7.62x39. If overpenetration is a concern like it is for most people concerned with home defense, then the penetration of 300 blackout in a longer barrel becomes a potential problem, which is why bullpups and pistols are so popular for home defense in 300 blackout. But it's not because it's a worse round in longer barrel lengths, it's because it's so much better that it becomes a problem with overpenetration.

tsuobachi great explanation, thank you!

I would also like to add some details. 5.56 was designed for longer barrels to achieve high velocity thus giving the 5.56 good tumbling and yawing characteristics. Unless you stick to 55 grain ammo with a barrel length of 16” or more you won’t capitalize on those wound characteristics. 300 blackout is a great round. Especially in SBRs. To me it has superior ballistics within 200 yards. 5.56 from a 16” ballistically lacks compared to a 300 blackout from a 16” barrel. The 300 has 1) more kinetic energy and 2) more inertia thus more penetration. With the right ammo each performs very well. Stick to anything less then 115 grains with the 300 blackout. Something like a v-max performs insanely.

id say the 300 blackout is more versatile. Its best for hunting or self defense with subsonic and suppressor, but still competes well as supersonic for velocity and penetration.

@antiami nothing AAC is the company that developed it

How do you feel about 7.62 ×39 ?

Honestly haven't shot much 7.62x39. I like how cheap the ammo is tho

I HV COMPARED: HERE's WHY I REALLY DONT LIKE IT... 1) SHOOTS CHEAP "STEEL CASE" ONLY. INTERESTINGLY - NO QUALITY BRASS CASE FOR IT! THIS MATTERS TO ME... 2) ALL THE AMMO FOR IT IS BASICALLY SAME - "ICE PICK" EFFECT, NOT LIKE THE BETTER 300BLKOUT THAT "SHATTERS" & DEVASTATES LIKE A 55gr. 5.56! SO - OVERALL - THE 300 - ACTUALLY "MORE" not "LESS" EFFECTIVE THAN 7.62... HENCE: I LIKE IT!

@@stanjelinek62 I like 7.62x39 a lot. That's why I like 300 Blackout/7.62x35, because ballistically it's extremely similar. 300 Blackout was designed to have the same casing as 223, thus 300 blackout is essentially designed for the AR-15 platform and regular AR-15 lowers.

300 Blackout = 7.62 x 45

More like a 50 ton at 25 mph

Yes!!

Yes, please.

123 grain 6.5 Grendel is moving at about 2650 FPS with around 2599 J of force. 125 grain 300 BO is moving at about 2215 FPS with around 1840 J of force. It really isn’t even close enough to compare unless you’re just wanting to see exactly how much more the 6.5 is going to penetrate than the 300 BO. Hint: The difference will be bigger than the 5.56 vs 300

I'm aware of the ballistics, but it's still fun to see a visual to go along with it. That's the same reason he has done 30-06 vs 30-30 vs 270 ECT. No one expects the cartridges to be identical, we are just wanting to see what the differences look like in the same media wether it is paper plates, water jugs or gel.

I would like to see this too. I own a 6.5 grendal with 11 barrel and 300 blackout with an 8 barrel.

Thanks for watching Jason!

Literally watching this at 205 am at work Haha

Thanks for watching Brandon!

Confetti

Snowflakes.

Does not matter what it does, it would be really fun to see.. I do not think that you would find any of the plates at all.. It would be dust.

Thanks for watching William!

Always appreciate you watching Russell!

Good idea

I wouldn't use this as an indicator of damage or wound channel. Also, this was with basic ball ammo, which is known for penetration, not expansion. A tumbling bullet will do a lot of damage in a non-paper medium

🙌🙌🙌

Thanks for watching!!!

Wow the 300 went waaaay deeper. However it’s the difference of being stabbed with a spear and stabbed with a chunk of rebar. Both are bad but the wide blades spear is probably worse. In either case both are super bad especially at bad breath distance.

Speed defeats hard armor. But not paper plates. Lol

So based on this, both are getting excellent penetration, based on the expansion of the 5.56 that would be more ideal, right? that's what I am inclined to think.

Coach PlyoGuy right. If you’re gonna go 300 then after you get done with the FMJ at the range, I’d load up some sort of soft or hollow points for HD. Then again, I’d do the same for 5.56, so I guess it’s a wash

Colt Harris what game is appropriate for a 300 BLk and what game is appropriate for a 5.56?

Yup

Thanks for watching Paul!

I love the 300 blk!

I am my own camera man 🤪🤪🤪

@@WHOTEEWHO I was going to say the same thing. However knowing that you're doing a fine job!

Still going!

I think both will do the trick

exactly my words. You don't want a bullet to go through and hold its energy. Comparing 7,62x39 (which is pretty close to .300BLK) and 5.56 wounds, 5.56 is the winner. I'd rather be shot by AK47 then AR15 (which is pretty much the reason Russians went to 5.45x39)

Nope when that 556 hits a bone it hits but wont go through as the 300 would tear the whole bone apart when yiu shoot pappers is alot diffrent when shooting big game go hunt and find what the 556 will go just injured a deer lol

@@GM-vi6nm Thats not true unless you are shooting the worst ammo possible, people around me use soft point ammo in 223 all the time for dear... granted its not 55 grain but 62-80 grains.

@@GM-vi6nm you people have to stop repeating what you hear other people who have not actually hunted with the rounds in debate, because if you had any facts or did any research then you would know a 5.56/223 will kill deer and hogs for that matter. This is the problem with these topics alot of untried opinions but blurted out as if they are facts

We will see.....

Me too on the comparison!! And I'd like to know how they do out past a 100 yards 👍

@@WHOTEEWHO Oh I'm sure ;)

noway bullet to light, 300 will win this

@@bigsean2473 i thought the 350 was heavier, no? Also has higher impact and relatively same muzzle velocity, 350 being slower out the gate

God bless you William.

God Speed and Semper Fidelis

Hard to beat CMMGs. This video surprised me!

Sounds like my wife. "How many guns do you have?" ....Not enough

This was basically .45 vs 9mm but with spritzer-shaped hypersonic rifle rounds. This meant that as soon as they hit something more dense than air they would tumble and the 5.56 would break in half or more and shed its jacket. The .300 tumbled too, as we see by the key-holing, but it isn’t constructed like the 5.56 and stayed together.

Especially with all the subsonic 7.62x39 coming out.

Kinda but right now still none on the shelf

love cmmg

Me too

If you can find some!))

Ok I'll go raid my neighbors

Wow, don't do that please. No need to start a riot. Oddly you could shoot all the food you wanted while people starved in their piles of charmin without a word said from them.

💪💪

Thanks for watching!

Hey Tom!

But u would be that close to a intruder

Nope

😁😁😁

@@WHOTEEWHO speed dont equal penetration weight plays a major factor in that. lets not forget the speed he read on the 556 box is most likely rated for a 16-20 inch barrel. try fenix ammo they might be able to get you ammo faster

Thanks for watching Mark!

Disagree

🙄

7.62x35 and 7.62x39 are so similar it's negligible. While shooting there is no noticable difference

Muchos Mapaches You might have just saved me several thousand dollars. 7.62x39 ammo is still pretty cheap... 🤔

😆😆😆

@@WHOTEEWHO on a more serious note lol thanks for uploading this video! I recently made the switch from 5.56 to 300 BLK 👍

Thanks for watching Casey!

Coming soon

Thanks for watching Riderick!

Thanks for the great content!

Surprised me!

💥💥💥👍👍

I love the 300!

Dont have a 7.62x39. Might be a while

Paul is the man!

yup you are correct. weight is more of a factor than speed

Thanks for watching!

Good idea

Thanks for watching!!!
