This video details a ballistic gel test of Sellier & Bellot 124-grain .357 Sig JHP ammunition, comparing performance across two different barrel lengths (4.5-inch and 3.4-inch). The instructor meticulously records muzzle velocity using a Labradar chronograph and analyzes projectile expansion, penetration, and weight retention within the gel. The results surprisingly indicate good performance from the S&B ammunition, exceeding expectations based on previous tests with the brand.
This video tests Grizzly 9mm 124-grain JHP standard pressure ammunition using gel blocks and a chronograph. The test reveals that standard pressure 124-grain JHP ammunition, particularly with XTP projectiles, may struggle to achieve adequate velocity for consistent expansion and performance, especially from shorter barrels. The instructor emphasizes the importance of 'spicy' loads for reliable 9mm self-defense performance.
This video presents a ballistic gel test of Unlimited Ammo's 124-grain JHP 'Nukes' ammunition in 9mm. The test includes velocity measurements from a Canik MC9 (3.1-inch barrel) and a Glock 17 (4.5-inch barrel), followed by penetration and expansion tests through a four-layer clothing barrier. While the ammunition demonstrated good disruption and penetration, full expansion was not achieved, with some jacket fragmentation observed. The presenter suggests the heavy clothing barrier may have hindered optimal performance.
This video showcases a diverse mail call and pawn shop haul of ammunition, featuring numerous rare and unusual calibers and brands. The presenter, an experienced firearms enthusiast, highlights 9mm Luger loads from various manufacturers, including Grizzly, Ammo Inc., Underwood, Hoo Munitions, Siege Ammunition, Premier Defense, 4140 Armory, and Unlimited Ammo, noting their projectile designs and stated velocities. The haul also includes Corbon 357 Magnum and 38 Special +P Powerball rounds, scarce Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm, Federal Synch and Speer Gold Dot 45 ACP, 9mm Makarov from Sellier & Bellot, and various 7.62x54R and 308 Winchester rounds from Red Army Standard, PPU, Wolf, and China Sports.
This video tests IMI Systems 9mm 115 and 124 grain DI-CUT JHP ammunition through a heavy clothing barrier and into ballistic gel. The test, conducted with a Taurus GX4 pistol, revealed that the clothing barrier significantly hindered projectile performance, preventing expansion and causing tumbling in both ammunition types. Both projectiles penetrated to approximately 22 inches in the gel, with no significant expansion observed.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Ammo Inc. 9mm JHP ammunition, specifically the 115 and 124 grain variants, fired through a Taurus GX4 pistol with a 3-inch barrel. The test simulates heavy clothing barriers (denim, fleece, cotton t-shirt) to evaluate terminal performance. Results indicate significant inconsistency, with the 115-grain failing to expand and tumbling, while the 124-grain showed minimal expansion but achieved greater penetration. The presenter highlights a lack of consistency between the two loads and their performance compared to previous bare gel tests.
This video launches a new series called "Blast Off Mondays" where the creators test the ballistic capabilities of various firearms and ammunition against everyday objects. The inaugural episode pits a Glock 19, firing 115-grain FMJ ammunition from 20 yards, against a bowling pin to determine if it can penetrate. The description also teases future episodes, including a SIG P365 test and encourages viewer engagement with a contest for a free shirt. The content is geared towards firearm enthusiasts interested in practical demonstrations of firearm performance.
This video reviews the Remington 9mm Ultimate Defense ammunition, specifically the 124-grain jacketed hollow-point (JHP) rounds, tested in a 1911-pattern handgun. The ammunition performed exceptionally well, demonstrating accuracy and effective expansion, making it a suitable choice for self-defense.
