Is there a generally accepted fragmentation threshold for M855A1 (like how 2700 FPS is for both M193 and M855)? I'm having a hard time finding something concrete.

I've heard similar but I am not aware of any specifics. If it was simply a case of the DoD infringing on patents, I'm sure a deal could have been worked out that would have let the Civ company produce and sell the round (or at least the bullet) commercially, using the "XM855A1" designation. I tend to wonder if the round has been labeled as "armor-piercing" and thus shelved like the ATF/DOJ has tried to do to regular old green-tip multiple times over the years. Pure speculation, but it would fit.
--British veteran of the Ukraine War, discussing the FN SCAR H.It's f*****g great, putting holes in people, all the time, and it just puts 'em down mate, they drop like sacks of s**t when they go down with this.
It's in no way armor piercing according to the law, but they're nevertheless using the patent to do everything in their power to keep us (the people's whose money was used to develop and manufacture it, and who are constitutionally guaranteed the right to have the arms of our military) from being able to buy it.
It's basically in the same category as 5.7 black tip. 100% legal to own, but being internally controlled by the manufacturer. You can get it through backdoor channels, but it's extremely expensive.
Directly from the DOD, I had to meet with the lead security specialist, there has been no official sale/ release of the new EPR rounds in either 5.56mm or 7.62mm. The rounds/projectiles that are being sold on the market have either been stolen or contracts have been breached in regards to certain entities buying it for official use and turning around and selling it.
Appreciate Feedback and comments
Molon posts are the same one he posted to arfcom and really only support my argument that M855A1 is not "match like"
Like the Army claims. Which was the point of the video dispelling Army claims about M855A1.
Sure Im bias towards MK262, Il take better accuracy any day when it comes to fighting rifle ammo.
Again, appreciate comments and the interest in the video
