Allen Swivels Blt Action Blk 1

Specifications

The ammunition used in the Allen Swivels Blt Action Blk 1 is designed for bolt-action rifles without pre-installed hardware. This set includes all necessary components for compatibility with 1" slings, ensuring a secure and adjustable fit.

Features

The ergonomic design ensures comfort and stability during use, making it ideal for long hunting or shooting sessions. The adjustable straps and grip pads keep the firearm snugly on the shoulder, while the thumb loops provide additional support and control.

Terminal Ballistics

The M16 rifle, which uses a similar ammunition type, features a 5.56×45mm cartridge. This cartridge has several advantages over other rounds, such as the 7.62×51mm NATO round used in the M14 rifle. It allows soldiers to carry more ammunition and is easier to control during automatic or burst fire. The 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge can produce massive wounding effects when the bullet impacts at high speed and yaws in tissue, leading to fragmentation and rapid transfer of energy.

Terminal Ballistics Specifications

• Bullet Type: 5.56×45 mm
• Cartridge Weight: 184 gr (11.9 g)
• Bullet Weight: 55 gr (3.6 g)
• Velocity: 3,250 fps (990 m/s)
• Energy: 1,302 ft/lb (1,764 J)
• Range: 500 yards (460 m)
• Accuracy: Effective range: 500 yds (460 m), 10 shot group @ 100 meters, 10 shot group @ 300 meters

Terminal Ballistics Performance

The 5.56×45mm cartridge, when fired from a 20 in (510 mm) barrel, travels at speeds high enough to cause the round to yaw and fragment into a dozen pieces upon impact. This creates wounds that are out of proportion to the caliber. The lethality of the round is largely dependent on shot placement. At distances beyond 200 meters or velocities below 2500 ft/s, the round's lethality decreases significantly.

Terminal Ballistics Performance Specifications

• Bullet Penetration:
  • Ballistic gelatin @ 10 meters: ≈14 in (36 cm) (bullet fragments into smaller pieces)
  • Sandbags @ 100 meters: 4 in (10 cm) (complete bullet disintegration)
  • 3/4" pine boards @ 100 meters: 8 boards (bullet tumbled)
  • Concrete building block (one center rib): one side to 200 m, both sides to 300 m, one side to 500 m
  • Steel helmet: 2 layers
  • 31 layers of Kevlar: 2 layers

Conclusion

The ammunition used in the Allen Swivels Blt Action Blk 1 is designed to provide high performance and reliability. Its terminal ballistics specifications indicate that it can deliver effective results at various distances and against different types of targets. For optimal performance, ensure that the rifle is properly maintained and the ammunition is stored and handled according to manufacturer guidelines.
