Story:
"I am certain that there are some that question my logic for ordering
more .223 M-4 carbines for the DEA groups/offices. Some wonder why I
like to see the M-4 carbines and Remington 870 12 gauge shotguns being
taken out on enforcement missions and thus listed on the DEA Ops Plans.
If you watch the video, and look at the photos of the patrol car, you
will know why.
The 7.62 x 39 mm caliber Russian round (SKS and AK-47 weapons) has a lot
of power. It is more powerful than the .223/5.56 mm round, and it ranks
just below the 30-30 Winchester on the power band. Unlike the ..30-30
which uses a jacketed soft-point, most 7.62 X 39 mm rounds are FMJ or
steel cored (i.e., Russian/European army surplus). Thus the AK-47 type
round has much greater penetration than a soft point or a hollow-point
round. The 7.62 x 39 mm round has a muzzle velocity of 2,356 fps, and a
muzzle energy of 1,527 ft. pounds. That means it can slice through an
issued ballistic vest like a hot knife through butter.
One additional point..."stress and communications." If you watch the
end of the clip, you will notice that the experienced officer can't
communicate by radio after the shooting event. He can't warn the
responding patrol cars that he has been fired upon. So other officers
don't know that one of their own has come under fire. Notice how shaken
the officer becomes. He can't continue to drive and participate in the
enforcement action. This again points to the need to conduct continual
firearms and tactical training.
