As you can probably tell from the video above, the 110 grain ammo functioned perfectly in my standard 10.5-inch AR-15.
Allegiance sent two flavors to test, a 110 grain compressed tungsten version and a more traditional jacketed 97 grain version. Out on the range we tested the ammo in a number of different conditions. That’s an intriguing mix, and while I didn’t have enough samples to take some hunting, I was able to confirm that the projectiles will harmlessly fragment on impact with a steel plate. Instead of a standard solid lead projectile the bullet is made of compressed tungsten powder.Īccording to Allegiance this allows the round to penetrate soft tissue for self defense or hunting scenarios while still fragmenting on impact for harder targets like steel plates for training. Something that makes SiletStrike extra special is the projectile Allegiance uses. No alterations are required to the firearm, all you need load the ammo in a magazine and you’re good to go. 223 Remington ammo (interchangeable with 5.56 NATO, a concept I’m sure will fill the comment section below with many opinionated responses on why I’m an idiot and completely wrong) with some interesting characteristics.Īllegiance’s SilentStrike line of ammo is designed as a drop-in subsonic replacement for your rifle’s standard diet of 5.56 NATO cartridges. They’ve started producing a couple different flavors of subsonic. That’s one of the reasons why the 300 AAC Blackout round has become so popular: how easy it was to go from supersonic to quiet-as-a-churchmouse subsonic without changing the gun.Īllegiance Ammunition doesn’t seem to have listened to the conventional wisdom.
#Subsonic 223 rounds free
Please feel free to contact us at 2 to answer any questions you might have.In order to slow down that projectile so that it doesn’t break the sound barrier (and create the sonic “crack” that makes even suppressed guns sound loud) you would need to increase the weight of the bullet, and getting the balance just right is extremely difficult. We do have a gel block shot with the ASP 5.56 filmed at 40k frames a sec that if Robert has a way to post it we will be more than happy to send it to him. So it takes 10 rounds to coat and then it will be subsonic from there on out. Then we put in a mag of ASP with the barrel hot the first round out the barrel was only 99o fps then 985 970 990.
#Subsonic 223 rounds full
We have coated the barrels by shooting the ASP through the gun then we fired 4270 rounds through the gun in full auto fire. The coating causes no adverse effect when switching back to hi vel ammo. The coating does not cause any buildup as with molly nor can it be cleaned out. You will have to fire about 8 to 10 rounds through the barrel to coat it to help slow the bullet down. When the weapon is shouldered and fired with a suppressor is on the gun you can actually hear the mechanics of the gun then the round impacting the target.įor the gun to function you MUST have a can on the gun.
But because of the Tungsten core we get really great penetration through clothing and soft tissue or bone. The tungsten core gives us the penetration through dense bone heavy clothing into a vital to take care of business.īecause of the low velocity it makes it very hard to impossible for the small bullet to fragment. 20 thou thick copper jacket gives us the malleability to get down the barrel without creating wear. We use compressed Tungsten powder as our core material inside a copper jacket. The ASP is certainly not a long range round as you are only 975 FPS at the muzzle. Because you have so little energy to work with the only way to make it more effective and function the gun was to make the bullet as heavy as possible. The user wanter the gun to function in semi or full auto mode so they would not be having to work the bolt on each individual shot. The ASP was designed for an operator to take out a sentry / guard usually head shot, or a light or dog without alerting the enemy.
