If Biden bans ammo imports what then? My new AK gonna be worthless AF.

Agree on mags wish I would have bought less mags and more ammo. Didn’t see the ammo thing coming. I thought having a couple thousand rounds of each caliber would be enough to last. Ima be fooked in a year or so at this rate.

There's more to imports than just AKs though. Plus, if you're panic buying a gun of a caliber you don't have ammunition for then you should already calculate what it'd take to get a stash started.

Staked one castle nut on my Spike's, didn't on another Anderson. Probably 3k rounds through either and as far as I can tell staking it didn't really matter. I didn't stake it on the Anderson since I wasn't sure if I would end up switching things around and now just can't be bothered. Maybe for a duty rifle that will be beaten, dragged, and dropped a lot it would make sense.

'Biden' isn't banning all ammo imports.

But, if he did, ammo prices and availability problems would extend far beyond commie calibers. They would be the worse, by far, of course, but, I mean...IMI, PPU/Prvi, PMC, Magtech/CBC, RWS, Lapua, Fiocchi, Aguila, Geco, S&B, Yavex, basically all milsurp ammo including all the NATO cartridge stuff and obviously all combloc ammo..and on and on and on. Remove all of those from the supply and say hello to $5/round 5.56. But that's like predicting $10/gal gas national avg

And if anyone wants to get into AKs I'd go for the 5.45x39. You can still stockpile plenty of 7N6 rounds. I think it's a superior round in terms of damage. Check out ballistic comparisons between 7.62x39, 5.45x39 and 5.56x45. Plenty of gel block videos you can reference on youtube.

The wound cavity of the 545 starts very early. It was nicknamed the "poison bullet" because of how many people would bleed out some time after being shot. So, potentially? Depends on how many times you can land a shot. If you're hitting proper shots I'd say caliber doesn't matter as much, obviously.

Not sure if graph is from bullet tests, or sex ed.

Centimeters of penetration.

With what's available to us peasants in the commercial market, 5.56 and x39 outperform 5.45 in terminal ballistics. 7n6 has been banned from import for years. It's now getting close to the same price as non corrosive 5.45 ammo. In the slim chance Biden bans imported ammo, 5.45 would take the biggest hit. US manufacturers have made 7.62x39 in the past but I don't think 5.45 has ever been manufactured here. If someone in the US started to mass produce 5.45 rounds, don't expect it to be as cheap as 5.56(in normal times)

From what I’ve read US manufactured x39 would cost more than 5.56 as well.

That's not what I see.

Can you quote where it says M193 was used into the 90s? What I see indicates no 193 use by US military in combat after 1980



". The Belgian round, the SS109, won the trials and was designated as the standard NATO infantry rifle cartridge under NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4172 in 1980. Most NATO nations adopted the SS109 as their first 5.56 round. The United States adopted it as the M855, painting the tip green to allow soldiers to easily differentiate it from older M193 ammunition.

The ammunition used by the soldier was the M855 “green-tip” projectile, adopted by the U.S. Army and Marines in the 1980s.

The M16A2 and M855 combination was used by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines through the 1980s and into the 1990s

The Mk262 offered better terminal performance in flesh and ballistic performance compared to M855, even when fired from short carbines. Early in the post 9/11 era, most SOCOM units switched to the Mk262 round for all their 5.56 weapons. The USMC also ordered Mk262 in limited quantities in the mid-2000s.

This round was called Mk318 Special Operations Science and Technology (SOST). It was adopted by SOCOM in 2007, replacing the use of Mk262 in most roles"

Yea looks like it said it was replaced or were testing replacements ad early as 1979.

Should I mag dump a thousand rounds through it to see? His many rounds you think until I can safely say “hey, this thing isn’t coming off.” 5k? A tactical response class?

". The Belgian round, the SS109, won the trials and was designated as the standard NATO infantry rifle cartridge under NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4172 in 1980. Most NATO nations adopted the SS109 as their first 5.56 round. The United States adopted it as the M855, painting the tip green to allow soldiers to easily differentiate it from older M193 ammunition.

The ammunition used by the soldier was the M855 “green-tip” projectile, adopted by the U.S. Army and Marines in the 1980s.

The M16A2 and M855 combination was used by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines through the 1980s and into the 1990s

The Mk262 offered better terminal performance in flesh and ballistic performance compared to M855, even when fired from short carbines. Early in the post 9/11 era, most SOCOM units switched to the Mk262 round for all their 5.56 weapons. The USMC also ordered Mk262 in limited quantities in the mid-2000s.

This round was called Mk318 Special Operations Science and Technology (SOST). It was adopted by SOCOM in 2007, replacing the use of Mk262 in most roles"
My good friend who is a marine swears he was issued m193 from 2008 - 2012.

I still think he's mistaken. But he genuinely said he'd never seen green tips before.

Maybe it was the M855A1, don’t think those have green tips. Or one the other variants mentioned.
