7n6m and 7n10 (pp) use the same hardened steel for their core, which using vickers hardness, is more than double the hardness of the 7n6(or ps 762x39), and significantly harder than even the m855a1 steel penetrator, nevermind the m855 penetrator. 7n10 (pp) is officially the standard round of the russian military, but considering the below official standards of, every piece of equipment they actually fielded in the invasion, such as the '5a' plates you shot, its more likely that theyre fielded with the plentiful 7n6s, which fail to pass through nij iii/sapi plates.

Yet. It could not create the damage of, M193. And no Frag at all. Still it was a good idea.

@curiositytrails1137 Год назад

very true ! M193, M855, & M855A1 are definitely superior in terms of fragmentation capabilities.

Very informative, and thorough video. Could someone take a second to help me understand the legality of online purchase and possession of 7n6 in particular, in 2023. I understand it's been banned from importation. But occasionally I still see it for sale online. However, I can't ANY viable information on this matter. Can I buy it like any other ammo, if I see it, legally possess it and use it as a civilian without any special credentials? Don't want to get into trouble.

@curiositytrails1137 Год назад

Thank you ! To my knowledge, it is legal to possess armor piercing ammunition in most states. BUT 7N6 is banned from import to the United States, but only import, ammunition that is already in the country is legal to possess as long as its legal in your state. But there could be more to it that I don't know, I haven't lived in the states for years.

I picked up a little over a hundred rounds of this stuff recently. It's insanely expensive due to Biden's Russian ammo import restrictions, so I don't plan on shooting it. Basically, just stockpile ammo, just in case.

@curiositytrails1137 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, this stuff has been restricted for import for years. the ATF classified it as armor piercing, but it's really not. I'm sure you paid a pretty penny for it. I'd be surprised if it was less than 1$ per cartridge.

@toska3528 10 месяцев назад

@@curiositytrails1137 yeah, Obama banned 7n6, in 2013, I believe? According to your video, the ammunition that I've acquired is 7n6M. But, when I was referring to Biden's ammo import restrictions, I was referring more so 60g 5.45×39MM lead core by Golden Tiger, TulAmmo, and Rэd Armу Staиdard. I should have been more specific.

@toska3528 10 месяцев назад

I believe that the only American domestic produced 5.45×39MM is Hornady black. But, that American made ammunition goes for between $1-$3 a round! I don't understand why Hornady charges so much for an ammunition that probably doesn't cost more in production costs than .223 Remington. I really hope other ammunition manufacturers start to chip in with some competition so the prices balance out. Especially since PSA is making some really solid 5.45×39MM chambered AK-74 variants, there is definitely a market for this ammunition that's fairly substantial. TulAmmo 5.45×39MM is going for about $0.72¢ at the time of me writing this, and 7n6 is going for about $0.80¢ - $0.90¢ a round.

@curiositytrails1137 10 месяцев назад

Ah yeah, and all the other stuff too, 7.62 and the other "soviet" calibers.

@curiositytrails1137 10 месяцев назад

1-3$ is crazy, I'm sure the market for it will grow and we'll see cheaper options, hopefully, even over here I can buy the Hornady black 5.45 for about $1.50 a round, which is really odd considering it's shipped halfway around the world 😅
