M-262 77 gr. 5.56mm Tissue Photos
Thought the below might be of interest as the M-262 5.56 ammunition was packaged as a dramatic upgrade to concerns of reduced lethality for the current M-16/M-4 weapons systems.

M-855 62gr. 5.56mm Tissue Photos
Thought this might be of interest as the M-855 5.56 ammunition is thought by some to be lacking in combat effectiveness. The M-855 5.56 ammunition was fired from a 12 inch 1/7 barrel.

Le Mas Ltd. Armor Piercing 5.56mm Tissue Photos
The Le Mas Ltd. Short Range Armor Piercing 5.56 impact shown below demonstrates bullet performance when impacting a non-ballistic gelatin living tissue medium. The SRAP 5.56 impact was fired from the same 12 inch 1/7 twist AR-15as the M-262 and M-855 5.56 rounds shown previously.

APLP - Hopefully you've got a great sausage recipe because you sure are making a lot of it. Have you tried putting these through a suppressor yet? And have you done any testing in excess of 150m? TR shared the hunting video with me "a while ago" and I was wondering if you had any recent controlled tests for accuracy/terminal ballistics in the 150 to 300 meter range. My apologies to the pigs, I know it's harder to do long range testing repeatably and humanely but those are the critical engagement ranges where the current ammo has been reported to perform below expectations. You've more than proven the point to anyone who will listen about the short range performance. At this stage the only thing left to do is find a way around the ones who won't listen. Good luck with that - especially the ones who've tied their egos to the position they're defending. Here's my wishes to you for a Happy (and prosperous) New Year getting quantities of your product in the hands of the right people where it will do the most good. (Side Note: TR and I spent some time last week on Ft Bragg. Part of it was spent listening to an 18D complain about having to treat indig's w/gunshot wounds 2-3 days after a firefight - something he probably would not have had to do if the good guys had been shooting your stuff. Not that he was complaining about the practice, just that it was taking time away from treating the women and children he wanted to help - the ones that would really affect the future "hearts and minds" - and that wouldn't be waiting to ambush another good guy as soon as they were healed up.)
