They'll need Gen 3 PMAGs to support that.
I just saw a recent video where M855A1 even fired from an SBR penetrated hard armor and caused devastating damage on the clay mannequin torso behind it.
There are other videos of it from SBRs penetrating plates and water jugs behind them. It's fast.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Sticks, I believe the phenomenon is roughly the same physics as a "fire piston." Rapidly compressed air has a sort of diesel effect.:: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

Still need some sort of fuel for the combustion, and I would think that gel would have a hard time compressing to 300psi...could be wrong. It can't be just air, or there would be no need for big oil.

The test medium is not ordnance gelatin, which is yellow and translucent, not clear and transparent. The chemical composition of the gel substitute is what fuels the brief combustion.

The contract specifically states that the order is for the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. However, upon TFB reaching out … Read More …Paul Peloquin

So much for "green" ammo! On top of that they continue to rape the taxpayer by suppressing technology to steer contracts. Picatinny Arsenal just renewed the secrecy order on our Gila Defense Systems rifle technology. Just from a taxpayer perspective, this is outrageous!
