The 5.56-mm caliber SS 109 projectile was fired from 7.7'' and 12'' twist rifles, respectively, into soap blocks and porcine thighs at 50-metre range using a standardized experimental setup. For comparison, the effects of the 5.56-mm M 193 bullet fired from the 7.7'' twist barrel and M-16 assault rifle were tested. The volume of residual cavity in soap, the shape and sizes of live tissue wounds, and the mass of surgically debrided devitalized tissue were measured. The effects of the two projectiles at 7.7'' twist were found similar in soap; the SS 109 produced more tissue damage than the M 193 missile. Using the 12" twist rifle, a significant increase in wounding capacity of SS 109 projectile was found. In conclusion, nonsignificant differences in local effects between the two projectiles using the 7.7'' twist rifles were found, and markedly increased effects of the SS 109--12'' system were ascribed to decreased essential stability and its earlier tumbling in penetrating a target. The soap as a live tissue simulant has proven its reliability in testing small-caliber arms.
使用标准化实验装置，分别从7.7英寸和12英寸缠距的步枪中发射5.56毫米口径的SS 109子弹，在50米的距离射击肥皂块和猪大腿。作为对比，测试了从7.7英寸缠距枪管和M-16突击步枪发射的5.56毫米M 193子弹的效果。测量了肥皂中残留空腔的体积、活组织伤口的形状和大小，以及手术清创的失活组织的质量。发现在肥皂中，两种子弹在7.7英寸缠距时的效果相似；SS 109比M 193子弹造成的组织损伤更大。使用12英寸缠距的步枪时，发现SS 109子弹的致伤能力显著增加。总之，使用7.7英寸缠距的步枪时，两种子弹的局部效果差异不显著，而SS 109-12英寸系统效果显著增加归因于其基本稳定性降低以及在穿透目标时更早翻滚。肥皂作为活组织模拟物已证明其在小口径武器测试中的可靠性。
