A: Hello Grover! Federal just confirmed that this ammo should present zero issues in a carbine.

A: Thanks for reaching out 2A! We don't run ballistic gel tests on training ammo, because a non-expanding bullet's terminal ballistics are unremarkable and not its selling point. I've just done a solid search for you and it doesn't look like anyone else had gel tested this ammo, either. I wish I could be of greater help!

A: Thanks for reaching out Tristan! This round does have a lightweight bullet, but it compensates for it with an unusually fast 1,625 fps muzzle velocity. That generates the SAAMI spec chamber pressure requisite to cycle a semi-auto.

A: Good to hear from you Pillo! This cartridge's ultralight 70 grain bullet does suggest it's low recoil, but it's actually loaded to mimic the perfromance of standard recoil FMJ ammo. It does this thanks to its 1,625 fps muzzle velocity, which is about 60% faster than Federal's standard 115 grain load.

A: No sir, I'm afraid it's not. The bullet's lack of any exposed lead does promote a healthier indoor shooting environment, but it will not disintegrate when it strikes a solid surface.

A: Thanks for reaching out Zachary! This ammunition is indeed capable of inflicting death. Its lethality is roughly on par with the 9mm ammunition used by the U.S. Armed Forces in combat. That said, I would advise using hollow point ammunition for personal protection, as an expanding bullet deals significantly greater damage to a threat that can neutralize it more quickly. An expanding bullet also has a lower chance of overpenetrating the target, which could put innocent bystanders in jeopardy.
