Milsig M17 Gen 3 Review: The Ultimate.68 Caliber Launcher
Looking for the ultimate less lethal setup with serious style? In today’s video, we’re doing a deep dive into the brand new Milsig M17 Gen 3 bundled with their game-changing 32-shot drum magazine.
From high-velocity aluminum projectile tests on coconuts to clay block impact demonstrations, we put this semi-to-full-auto powerhouse to the test to see if it’s the best home defense launcher on the market today.
Performance Tests in This Cinematic Video:
• Coconut Obliteration: Full aluminum balls vs. hard coconuts.
• Clay Block Test: 10lbs of ballistic clay behind a hoodie.
• Plywood Penetration: Testing the original mags against 3 layers of 1/4 inch Baltic Birch.
• Chronograph Session: Real-time FPS, FPE, and Joules energy readings using a 3500 PSI HPA tank.
PRO TIP: Increasing the spring tension is vital when running heavier ammo like aluminum or glass-breaker rounds. WATCH THE HOW TO VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzACvGGe4is
