Crap test. C'mon, most of us don't have 10" SBR's for home defense. Your test should have included a similar test out of the normal 16" barrel. Are you limited by TFB regarding how long or comprehensive your videos can be?
Lazy tester. Drive out to the desert, set up the camera, shoot one shot, upload it and take five minutes to write a description. Meh.
If you guys want to keep providing information, provide some information. Earn the bux that your sponsors are providing.
No four layers of denim, actually, nothing up front that would simulate clothing of a bad guy and only one round fired into gel.
Only used a pistol upper. A 16" upper would have been noteworthy. No building materials or clothing present. Why this was called a "Test" is beyond me.
IMI makes great products. This supposed "test" sure didn't tell me why this ammo is great, unless a naked bad guy breaks into my house and doesn't hide behind any walls and I don't hit any bone or grisly body parts - just soft tissue.
Hmmm...
