5.56 mm NATO "Green Tip" vs. Chevy Cast Iron Water Pump

hey everyone we're gonna shoot the 5.56 millimeter 62-grain Full Metal Jacket the m855 penetrator that is military surplus also known as the green tip which does feature a steel core inside of the bullet and we're going to shoot at a large chunk of steel this is an old water pump from a 1985 Monte Carlo Super Sport it is not solid steel obviously has cavities running all through it but at its most narrow points it's probably two maybe two and a half inches thick again with these cavities running throughout it weighs 12 pounds and is the replacement part for the original the original lasted 23 years this one lasted only three so I'm going to recycle it s scrap metal but only after we punch it with the Bushmaster ar-15 20 inch barrel one two nine twist [Music] [Music] so I painted this white in order to be able to see it through those open sights because this is a dark background and the first shot I actually stopped the camera walk down here and checked the target because I didn't see that first hit I didn't hear it either nor did I see the smoke that I just observed a moment ago on the playback of the shooting portion so then I reset that here's the little front piece wow that's pretty impressive I think that was what the second shot so that went all the way through dang it looks like you got hit again on the backside alright this is set up on some old nails or large nails on that stump let's see what we have here after I blew out that first part it's really chewing that up we had some hits through here and I had a side profile that I really couldn't see and I think I had some misses there time to get some optics for low-light shooting but those tagged pretty well hit that cavity and what does the other side look like as we spin this around Wow blew it out complete pass-throughs quite a mess so if you are going to be attacked by an old water pump from a 1985 Chevy Monte Carlo and you have some 5.56 millimeter green tips I think you've got quite the good chance thanks for watching
