In this video, I compare the 5.56 (AR15) and the 5.45 (AK74) in ballistics gel. I started with FMJ rounds in this one but I will do more parts to this video in the future testing more rounds in gel and shooting other things as well. Let me know of any other comparisons you would like to see with the 5.56 and the 5.45 both with and without the ballistics gel.
The bullets I test in this video are the 60 gr Wolf Mil-Spec FMJ 5.45×39 and the 55 gr Federal XM193 FMJ 5.56×45. The AR15 I use is my BCM 14.5″ rifle and the AK74 I use is my Arsenal SLR 104-FR. The Ballistics gel blocks I use are Clear Ballistics 20% Ballistics Gel NATO blocks.
If you like this video please give it a thumbs up for me. Thank you!
Fine work
AK 74 is the best gun all over the world.
Why are AK sights so low profile? Does it make aiming difficult?
Another great video.
The 5.45 doesn’t rely as much on velocity than 5.56, is that correct?
The 545 over penetrated, the 5.56 did it job and according to FBI standards was successful.
Good video.
so glad to see this, idk why peoples go to comparison is the 47, like why not compare the 74 with its much more modern round?
4:08
Is that a fly?
5.56 Has more penetretion power and M4A1 is best and most powerful assault rifle, but AK74 also looks cool
The 5.45×39 Was Shot Higher In The Ballistics Gel Which Allowed The Block To Expand More! The 5.56×45 Was Shot Closer To The Bottom Of The Ballistics Gel Which Restricted The Block To Expand As Much Due To The Weight Of The Block Against The Table.
I’ve Seen Several Other Comparisons Where They Used Separate Ballistic Gel Blocks And Shot Rounds Dead Center In Each Block, And The Wound Channel Of The 5.56×45 Was Much Greater Than The 5.45×39.
They’re Both Effective Rounds And Are Excellent Choices For Self Defense Or SHTF Situations! Thanks For The Great Comparison Video! It Definitely Gives The Average Gun Owner A Better Perspective On How Their Particular Round Choice Performs. Thanks! ✌️🇺🇸✌️
Can you do 7.62×39 vs 308
Id choose the 5.45 for certain scenarios
The 7N6 was designed by the Soviets after they seen the horrific and devastating effects of the M193 being fired from 20" 1/14 twist and 1/12 twist M16s…using anything shorter than the 20" isn’t an equal comparison.
Some of the 5.45 RDS have a hollow cavity in the tip that facilitate s tumbling upon entry by way of conical tip distortion
Apparently you don’t know what slow motion mode is.
i’m thinking about getting a 74, this might have convinced me
Russian engineering better than usa, not surprising.
Great job. I have both, shoot both, and like both. Statistically insignificant difference between them from a ballistics standpoint. Still fun to compare.
I want to build a 5.45 ar, figure might as well piss off ar and ak guys.
I’ve been chasing a 5.45 platform after their enthusiast rave about how it’s a better penetrator but it seems I need to remain content with 5.56
That paint job is awesome. I usually don’t like paint jobs, but I like that one.
Hello my friend . do you have an accurate shot test with both rifles?
Excellent video
You need to see which one is more accurate
I’ll take a Galil or Galil ACE with 62/70 grain TSX or 62/75 grain Soft Points
We might see what the 5.45 is all about war with Russia might actually happen🤦♂️
Funny how in the AR15 forums the guys are going full-nationalistic claiming that the 5.56 is always superior to the 5.45 and say that the ‘tumbling’ and the ‘terrible wounds’ are an urban legend. This proves they’re wrong.
Where did you get the green box ?, I haven’t found those
7n6. Best 5.45.
Please do 5.56 nato vs 5.56 armor piercing Incendiary
5,45 Калашников лучше и стабильнее, чем патрон НАТО.
Are you a Baldwin brother ? 1Shot Baldwin ? =)
556 defensive loads take a 💩 on 7n6 anyday
soviet 5.45 definitely looks better
You should have shot a green tip outnof the AR-15
Probably more energy transferred into the block by the 556 people aren’t very thick
Basically both are extremely lethal and are very capable rounds. 6.8mm is really a waste of money and investment and effort, more like an exercise to drain the public coffers for a few connected usual military companies.
Why did you mask off BCM? 😂
Great video! I bet that 5.56 round was quite a bit louder for you! 😉
Arsenal? Nice!
My mother threw it away when I got home, but I recovered a 5.56 out of the back of a VC I got the night before and the tracer bullet looked like it was put in a vice and squeezed, The back where the phosphorous for the tracer was contained but still on the bullet just peeled but was still intact.
7.62 > 5.45 and 5.56
Yesssa. Wanted to see this for a while. Please do 6.5 grendel vs 300aac. Also 6.5 credmore vs 308 Winchester
We need more tests testing 7.62×39 and 223
Hey guys! This is just part 1 so I wanted to start with two of the most common rounds available for these rifles, Wolf 60 gr FMJ and 55 gr XM193. There are tons of ammo options for these, especially the 5.56 and I will do more comparisons on these two. Let me know what other tests you would like to see both with and without the ballistics gel. Thank you!
To me most mass shootings happen because that stems from call of duty ar-15 which is a soldiers best friend. The thing is though the ar-15 is for putting targets down and looking for next man – tactical. While the Ak-47 is designed to take out 20 people at one time clearing the field. A bear will laugh off an emptied Ar-15 into it and still chase you down. Thick skin, stops bleeding. A 7.62 round will actually chop a bear in half
Who’s here from dayz lmao
8×56R vs. 7.62×54R ?
