I worked as a civilian architect for the Military for 30 years and I designed a scaled 50cal range 20 years ago to use these rounds. Targets were scaled armor pieces and I found that shooting these rounds on a scaled range was quite realistic and useful. The range was experimental and I believe was one of the first in the country to use the plastic rounds.

@CzechSixTv Год назад

If I'm not mistaken, these rounds were developed for training on a standard rifle range eliminating the need for a bigger/thicker berm. They stabilize because they were designed to. Weight doesn't determines twist rate, projectile length does.

@will24655 Год назад

I was wondering if it was something to do with reducing ricochets but that makes sense.

@nolanmosher784 Год назад

I think it is for price, cheap and easy production since plastic is a lot more common then metal or any thing made different in regular ammo

@CzechSixTv Год назад

@@nolanmosher784 The rounds were developed and manufactured by Bakelittfabrikken in Norway. Plastic is their specialty. Since the pressure is so low only the case head is metal so an extractor has something solid to grab. The 'why' of their development can't be just about cost. Downloading a standard .50 BMG for use on shorter ranges with less substantial backstops would result in some funky ballistics. The lightweight plastic projectile can be pushed just fast enough to at least mimic drop of standard ball ammo at those ranges.

@TheDeinonychus Год назад

I'd be willing to bet the 'less lethal' claim probably comes from the fact that it won't penetrate even the lightest body armor. Meaning that, in training, if a soldier gets hit while wearing standard issue body armor, they're not likely to get badly injured. So I'd be interested in seeing how some common bullet-proof plates hold up to the training rounds.

@lemax6865 Год назад

"Less lethal .50cal" isn't their official designation, it's what Scot calls them because it's made of plastic, he explains it at the beginning of the video. Officially, they are training rounds, and you're still not supposed to shoot them at people

@edifyguy Год назад

@@lemax6865 Exactly. Some people just don't listen to spoken words....

@TheDeinonychus Год назад

@@lemax6865 I know they''re training rounds. What I'm saying is that, because they are plastic, they don't penetrate body armor. Meaning that, if someone gets shot with one in training, they'll be likely to survive, provided they are wearing standard issue body armor. It is 'less lethal' in that respect, though a hit against someone unarmored would probably still be lethal.

@lemax6865 Год назад

@@TheDeinonychus Fair enough, although I think their most useful characteristic for training purposes is that you don't need as much reinforcement behind the targets, and the fact that it will disintegrate rather than ricochet if it hits a solid surface. The reduced lethality of a direct hit on a human is just a bonus, since with a weapon that big, it's probably a less likely accident scenario than a ricochet or over-penetrating a bad range setup. I could be wrong on that last bit, though, I have no experience with such large caliber firearms.

@RichardCranium321 Год назад

I've shot these in 7.62X51 before. I have a single shot break action that they're quite fun to run through, but they're absolutely lethal inside of 100yd. They're designed for ranges in places like Germany that don't allow lead. They have special lightweight BCG's that also have a slightly smaller breach face so you can't accidentally chamber a full power 50 load or SLAP round and send the BCG through your shoulder.

@Scuba128 Год назад

I've got several thousand rounds of the 7.62 training rounds. My Israeli Mauser loves it and it's great cheap plinking ammo.

@fchanMSI Год назад

So I remember these were for military training (not less than lethal) so if they needed close a base they don’t need a superfund to clean that place up of lead. They closed Fort Ord in early 1994 & they are still cleaning up the lead & unexploded ammo from ranges there.

@RichardCranium321 Год назад

@@fchanMSI this is why I think training ammo should be aluminum or brass jacketed / mild steel core. Every year they could easily collect the rounds with sifts that utilize magnets to catch the steel as they rebuild the backstops. If they happen to miss a few well then there's no real environmental risk to leaving it in the ground. Eventually the steel will rust away and return to the earth.

@tielemaniak Год назад

It has nothing to do with lead. It is just short range ammo ao that you are more free with your range orientation and shooting angles, for example to practice with live ammo on regular outdoor training grounds (banned since the 00s) or in short range indoor ranges. The bullets are very light and lose velocity fast due the shape and lack off mass and have reduced ricochet.

I distinctly remember using these at JRTC in 2007 for "scaled range" M2 shoots.

@ndcaynor Год назад

I used them several times in the Army. Normally for combined arms live fires as a support by fire, when infantry is assaulting an objective where a ball or tracer ricocheting would be bad news for the infantry guy running up to the building, trench, etc. Hence, why you can find this round in the AR and FM. There is a adapter for the feed tray similar to the blank adapter, and I can't remember you use a different barrel.

About 10 years ago, a Canadian team came to the team to have us test an SRTA .50 round. We found out that 16% lost ballistics after about 30-50’. They were also made of copper and carbon fiber at almost $100/rnd. Considering that it would cost $4mill/day in .50 ammo alone and almost 20% of the rounds were on their own fuckin program after 10-15 meters… we had some feedback. The two science brains the company had there were not happy with what we said. I wonder how many crazy expensive projects are out there just burning through cash.

@hydrophilicchristopher9874 Год назад

Can’t have progress in anything without people fucking around and finding out. Helps clean up theoretical sciences by finding out the theory is BS and that normies will still push out the false information they read years ago and that general consensus of things will be solidified as fact despite it being proven trash.

@wunkskorks2623 Год назад

@@hydrophilicchristopher9874totally agree. The aerodynamicist they sent was super young and really green. I don’t think the ink was dry on his PhD at that point. He was SO PISSED at our feedback because his CFD models only had a >1% loss of ballistics after 50 meters. Also, some great discoveries and inventions happen when results are the priority instead of money. We’d probably still have to cook our TV dinner in the oven, as opposed to the microwave if it wasn’t for obscene amounts of money being spent on real world testing.

These rounds generally used for ranges where standard 50bmg ammo is not allowed. Lower velocity and much lower energy. They also have a tracer version.

@jochenreichl796 Год назад

Actually the velocity is much higher than a standard ball, but because it's so light weight, it loses its energy quickly. I have never seen a tracer variant, are there?

@walkerwhite1798 Год назад

@@jochenreichl796 out the muzzle yes but since its a lighter powder charge and such a light projectile (50 gr) with very low density, it has a very rapid drop off where it effective range is only about 150m with a max safety range of 700m. The tracer version is called the m860 tracer. But you are correct out the muzzle it is about 1000 fps more. I never used them personally but i had to learn about them in USMC machine gunner school

@jochenreichl796 Год назад

@@walkerwhite1798 Interesting. I have seen and handled a few hundred of the 7.62 rounds when I served my duty, but didn't actually fire any by myself. I have a friend who has a hunting rifle in .308 who uses these for training, because they have the same point of impact on 50 meters as his hunting ammo has on 150 m. They are surprisingly accurate, too.

@TheWolvesCurse Год назад

i never heard them being called less lethal, just "practice ammo" or "plastic ammo". they were used in the bundeswehr a lot while the G3 still was the service rifle. since lots of recruits never shot a firearm before service it was a good way to teach them the basics of marksmanship. but even those 7.62x51mm plastic rounds were more than capable enough of killing someone.

While I was in the TXARNG, one of my jobs was to assist the NGMTU as an adjunct instructor in their SAIROC classes. I was the M2HB (Ma Deuce) NCOIC. The ranges at Camp J T Robinson do not have sufficient depth in the impact area "fan" for .50 M33 Ball, and we had to do the fam-fire with those Blue Pills and their special barrel. Although we were firing the six absolute cleanest and most well-lubed M2s in the free world, the "short range" plastic fantastic crap ammo could barely get downrange at all. It was so balky that we never did get any of the M2s to run right. Instead of perking along, we'd get maybe a two or three round burst and have to cycle the gun again. The ammo came belted four normal to one tracer, and hardly any of the tracers lit either. We suspected storage degradation but couldn't prove it. The special barrels and the blue pills were just a waste of time and funds. It was a real let-down for the trainees.

When I used blue plastic ammo it was for safety since we were doing a training exercise and the blue plastic ammo had a much shorter range for being lethal. We could shoot on ranges that didn't or couldn't have large vacant areas around it.
