New cartridges that promise everything come and go and fade into memory with the decades.
Here is why the new 6.5X25mm CBJ cartridge might change cartridge history forever.
In the modern world of ammunition, many generally think of handgun cartridge projectiles as in just two categories: practice (full metal jacket) and defense (generally hollow point). Cartridge needs are not that simple. Some jobs need only light penetration of a target with instant fragmentation of that projectile for bystander safety, and other ones need incredible penetration against hard armor. Handgun ammunition has never really lived up to those needs. CBJ Tech decided to change things up a bit with their cutting edge 6.5X25mm CBJ cartridge. Various projectiles moving at incredible speeds accomplish a huge variety of previously impossible handgun feats.
What is even better about the 6.5X25mm CBJ cartridge? Many existing 9mm firearms can be converted easily by changing the barrel to this superspeed cartridge.
Who would be better than Ian from Forgotten Weapons to test out the 6.5X25mm CBJ cartridge against APC armor? Below is the incredible video of the 6.5X25mm CBJ cartridge in actual use.
The CBJ Tech website has much more information on this cutting edge modern cartridge and I hope to see more tests in the future. Also it would be great if civilian conversion kits for already owned 9mm firearms here in the states would become available along with the already loaded ammunition and reloading supplies. This cartridge would certainly make a huge splash in the hunting and self defense market.
