Dive into the world of ballistics with our latest video, "Supersonic vs. Subsonic Ammo: Hear the Difference!" We explore the intriguing sound differences between supersonic and subsonic ammunition. Using a .223 round in an AR-15 and a .38 special, we demonstrate how the speed of sound affects what you hear when a bullet is fired.
Set at a distance of 100 yards, we'll conduct live fire tests aimed directly towards the camera. Don't worry, it's completely safe! You'll experience firsthand how, with the AR-15, the bullet's crack as it breaks the sound barrier reaches you before the sound of the gunfire. Conversely, with the .38 special, you'll hear the shot before you perceive any sound from the bullet.
