This video provides a crucial safety tip for AR-15 owners regarding ammunition types that should not be used at civilian shooting ranges. It highlights M855 ammunition with its green tip, which contains a steel core that can damage range equipment. The video also warns against red-tipped tracer rounds (M856/M856A1) due to fire hazards and black-tipped armor-piercing rounds (M855A1/M995). The advice emphasizes that only ammo with uncolored copper jackets or polymer tips is generally acceptable for range use. This information is vital for preventing damage to ranges and ensuring safe shooting practices.
