What is the maximum velocity for a lead bullet using a gas check?

The velocity limit of cast bullets is dependant more on the hardness of the alloy than anything else. The use of gas checks should increase the limit by 300 to 400 fps. I use an alloy of 95% wheel weights and 5% bar solder. My limit is1400 fps for plain base and 1800 fps for gas checks before leading becomes a problem. Cleaning the bore often will help.

9mm PTB gas bullets. It is not a real gun, and does not fire live ammunition. Do not attempt to run live rounds through it. <<<<<<<<<< Agree with above. It does NOT use any bullets. This is a blank firing gun. It uses the 9mm PAK blank cartridge- which has no bullet. Do not attempt to fire any standard ammunition in this gun- it would be extremely dangerous

What does an AR 15 gas block do?

A gas block acta as an intermediary channel for the gas trapped behind the bullet (when the rifle is fired) to exit the hole in the barrel and be directed up, then back into the rifle. This powers the reloading mechanism of the rifle. There's probably a more technical answer for it, but at it's basic, that is what a gas block does.
