Ballistic gel comparison: AK-47 vs AK-74
AK-47 - 7.62x39mm Wolf 124gr FMJ Shot from Romanian AK-47 with 16" barrel. Block was placed at 10 feet distance from the muzzle.
AK-74 - 5.45x39mm Bulgarian 7N6 53gr FMJ fired from AK74 at 10 feet distance from gelatin block.
Maximum penetration depth = 19.3" (10% gelatin)
Maximum temporary cavity = 5.43"
Bullet expansion = No expansion, no fragmentation
Each block that the gelatin sits on is exactly 1" across and the spaces are exactly 1" across. 20% gelatin is tougher than 10% gelatin that is used for static gelatin testing.
