AR15 Barrel Length and Velocity – WWSD

CORRECTION:
PMC Bronze, the ammunition we used in this content, was referred to as M193 – which it is not. PMC Bronze is a civilian 223 Remington load, not specifically military M193 spec. That minor difference, however, does not change the point of the video itself in regards to barrel length and velocity differences with 223 (or 556).

223/5.56 is a highly capable round…when it has sufficient velocity to perform. Barrel length plays a significant role in the velocity of the projectile. In this video we demonstrate the velocity of 55gr “M193″ out of a 14.7, 16 and 20” WWSD, discuss what that means.

About SinistralRifleman

I've been competing in the action shooting sports since 2002. I believe competition shooting to be an excellent way to build gun handling and marksmanship skills and encourage all gun owners to seek out some form of competition shooting. Anyone can become reasonably good at it if they devote the time and resources to do so. Winning, while nice, need not be your goal; bettering yourself through the pursuit of excellence is something we all can achieve.
