By Leigh Bean


When it comes to shooting, people have different preferences. Bullets are designed differently to perform specific tasks. Black hills ammunition factory has designed this new rifle called the Black Hills Mk262, Mod 1 that has the best features. The device has loads of best and accurate performance. It was initially meant to be used by military forces. It possesses rounds that are excellent in M16 platforms and NATO employed these rounds when there was battle pack.

The NATO ammunition of 5.56 by 45mm was modified to make this new bullet. The old bullet was just normal projectile that NATO and non-NATO forced used. In the Vietnam War is when it was first employed in M16 rifle and triggered cartridges made of steel core of 62 grains. This type is called the M855 and was used initially before Mk262 that is offers reliable performance.

The former device was criticized because it was poor in the rate it shot and was unreliable in fragmentation. Many states complained about this gadget and this led to invention of a new one. Mk262 is a NATO bullet that was later made to be used in M12 Special Purpose Rifle. This gadget welcomes advancement since it has long and reliable fragmentation range.

When comparing the two devices, the Mk 262 has better quality than the M855. First, the former is 77 grains, meaning it has a heavier weight. It was made with a lighter design too meaning it can travel very fast and for a long distance. Records show that it can also be used in M4A1 carbines. US law enforcement organizations and armed forces insist their team to use this type of projectile especially to shooters who are accurate in long ranges. The gadget is also temperature sensitive and this feature was added in 2005.

Open tipped matches normally use bullets that hardly expand because hollow cavity is used for that reason. However, the new one uses that cavity to maintain stability and for amplification of accuracy during motion. It easily tumbles tissues and when it takes action the cavity as well as the fragments break releasing energy after fragmentation that result to severe wounding.

Velocity and barrel length are the determinants of fragmentation effect and is because of this that the bullet travels very fast and covers a large distance. Inefficiency of this device is observed when it is has low probability to fragment. However, it is able to penetrate deeply in a tissue to a length of more than fifteen inches.

A target in an area situated 0.7 kilometers away from the projectile is easily destroyed. Ballistic test confirms that the device can easily tumble tissues located 0.3 kilometers away. It has become a preference to operators working in special force as it has expanded range power, accuracy and causes severe wounds. Variations in accuracy, terminal performance and wind drift make it possible for people to see scratches with naked eyes.

Black Hills Mk262, Mod 1 is a good projectile and suitable for M16 platforms. When one compares with M855, it is way better, especially in long ranges. Some of the key benefits it offers are high wounding capacity, good performance, stopping and range power and accuracy. Armed forces should go for this black hill product since it is very reliable in maintaining security.
