Quote:As for the cinder block test -- it will take less rounds of M-80 to destroy that cinder block than Grendel simply due to kinetic energy differences. Not sure if the advantage would be significant as I am not sure what the test was intended to prove or disprove.It was not intended to "prove or disprove" anything. It was a quest for information, to see how 6.5 Grendel barrier penetration compares to that of 7.62 M80.
However, I just remembered there was a FutureWeapons episode in which a cinder block was shot with 6.5 Grendel (see 2:30-2:45 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haqXE8nq3io ), and result was virtually the same as I got with 7.62 M80 some years ago.
