Those doubts were laid to rest when Mullins provided a demo, using his own AR15. I also doubted the safety of a frangible load when fired on steel from a rifle, as it generates much greater velocity than a handgun.
As my earlier post on subsonic ammunition describes, subsonic worked well in my AR, but brass didn’t eject–something that’s considered normal for this load, until now.īased on this experience, I was doubtful that the Allegiance load would really be reliable. The first surprise was Mullins’ claim that Allegiance has the only 5.56 frangible subsonic ammo in the world that produces sufficient gas pressure to cycle the bolt reliably. Other frangible rounds I’ve worked with appear, by visual observation, have mostly copper content. Viewing the rounds themselves as well as the company’s numerous gel block test videos, it’s evident from the color the tungsten content is substantial. This load is made of, at minimum, a combination of copper and tungsten powder. It’s also useful for personal and private security work In indoor or concrete/steel environments where overpenetration and ricochet is of concern–although penetration and damage of many building materials, like concrete block and drywall, still happens. Firing on steel targets just inches from the muzzle is only safe with frangible. Some aspects of his argument are valid, but not new. It’s not just for shoot house training anymore, he says.
#ALLEGIANCE AMMUNITION SUBSONIC 223 CARBINE AMMO THAT CYCLES UPDATE#
This article is an update of sorts to two others, on frangible ammunition as well as subsonic. At a recent writers’ conference, a company making frangible, Allegiance Ammunition, presented information about their product and also allowed us to test the ammo at Florida Gander Mountain’s indoor range.Īllegiance Ammuntion CEO Jeff Mullins is on a quest to change the way the world sees frangible.
