The FB Beryl RADOM-SPORT is a semi-auto rifle chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO, built by FB Radom in Poland. From its 457 mm (18.0 in) barrel, Hornady 5.56 NATO FMJ (M193) Frontier® (55 gr FMJ) leaves the muzzle at about 3199 fps (975 m/s), adjusted from the 508 mm test barrel the figure was measured in. Zeroed at 100 m, the bullet drops 100 mm by 200 m with 917 J (676 ft-lb) left. At the muzzle that is enough to defeat Drywall, Plate Glass, Pine Wood, Brick and Kevlar NIJ IIIA, and not enough for AR500 Steel.
Computed by the BallisticEngine engine for this barrel length, zeroed at 100 m, 15 °C, sea level, no wind.
