      I think the reason that one can created such a loud sound was due to overpressurization or being shaken up at some point. So for me it begs the question, what would it look like to see a line of soda cans where 1 randomly is shaken, as well as every other can being shaken or overpressurized. Bet it would cause some whacky deviations, so I'd probably set up somer extra protection around the sides if you guys end up doing it. Subscribed now btw.

I have an installed muzzle brake, a trigger kit and a Vortex Crossfire 4x12x50 BDC scope. I can kill milk jugs all day at just shy of 500 yards.

      If it's a very early model m16 like the ones the vets were talking about that was terrible, thoes ones had a 1:14 twist rate extremely slow for how light a round it is. I'm sure the rifle they are using is probably the one that was slightly better with the 1:12 twist but still not the right round weight for that twist rate. My long barrel mossburgh MMR hunter is 1:8 and my shorter eagle arms carbine sized ar15 is a 1:7, but they are both great for heavier rounds and do alright for lighter ball rounds.

    • @wymonwatson1309
      @wymonwatson1309 Месяц назад +3

      What's interesting is your rifle would stabilize a 62gr cup and core bullet, I know I have a 1-12 that does, but if you shoot green tip, they hit the target tumbling. Also a 1-9 will stabilize a green tip, you don't need a 1-7 until over 75gr.

    • @CrashRacknShoot
      @CrashRacknShoot Месяц назад +1

      @@wymonwatson1309 it's not so much bullet weight that matters. It's bullet length. A lead 62 gr may stabilize relatively fine. Lead is heavier, so it can be made into a shorter bullet. M855 projectiles have a lot less lead. The only real dimension one can change in a bullet and remain the same caliber is length. It was actually more important to them to have less lead and mimic the profile of a 77 gr cup and core. The penetration benefits were a happy accident.

  • @ArsonalTech
    @ArsonalTech Месяц назад +45

    The rifling of an M16 A1 is 1 : 12 suited for 55gr M193 ball. To stabilize the slower 62gr you need a faster twist rate, the minimum being 1 : 10. 1 : 7 is the standard twist rate because it’ll stabilize 55gr, 62gr, and 70, though it is ideal for 70gr Sierra Match King.

    I don't want to be that guy, but. XM193 would be the correct round for the retro AR15 (1:14 or 1:12 twist). The scope Carlos is most known for using is a Unertl. Leatherwood/Hilux makes a replica that isn't too expensive, nor too poorly constructed, if you wanted to get closer to what he had. The version of the Model 70 that was closest to what he used was the Model 70 Target rifle, which can be spendy (One on SimpsonsLTD recently for $3500 and change).

Had the range been longer you'd have had trouble just hitting the watermelon with that combo.

      That was my first thought. Yes, it's an old M16, but it's still firing the 5.56 round which 99% of modern ARs also fire so there's literally nothing different about that. 30-06 is also a round that is still quite common. I was hoping for muzzle loaders, maybe an original trapdoor with original 45-70 loads or something. These are somewhat old guns firing the most common rounds still available. I mean, you can just take a modern 20 inch AR and it would do the same thing as the M16. The only difference is the twist rate of the barrel.

    Assuming that is a Vitenam era M16, it would either have a 1:14 (early M16s) or a 1:12. Neither one of these do well to stabilize a 62 grain projectile. You would need at least 1:10 twist in a 20" barrel to stabilize it (marginal) and as the barrel gets shorter and less velocity, you will need a faster twist. Such as the modern adopted 1:7, 1:8, and 1:9.

    So new respect for PewView i know he can shoot but the fact he did it with the 30-06 that im sure he doesn't use all the time was pretty impressive. That was a good shot on the coconut. Being able to time it out in frame and everything not an easy ask. I love the ballistic highspeed guys too, and we got to add a Nick just great.

    Even a .50 BMG will yaw after hitting a target. I'm curious as to the barrel twist on that Vietnam era M16 Clone..it'll shoot 62gr rounds, but if the barrel twist is 1/12 then it's only supposed to stabilize 55gr.

There were a lot of complaints about the m16a1, but the 62 grain round was never used with it in vietnam.

    The bullet was NOT stabilized, which means that the barrel twist could be the wrong one for the 62 gr bullet. It could be that the barrel had a fast barrel twist like 1:7, which can cause the bullet to yaw. You may be manufacturing facts to fit your narrative/video.
