Videos tagged with 9mm Ballistics

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Crusader helmet against various calibers. The helmet successfully stopped 9mm rounds but was penetrated by .380 ACP and higher calibers, including .308 Winchester. The test utilized ballistic gel and different firearms to simulate real-world impacts.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Bottle Britcher ammunition can cooler. The cooler, designed to hold beverages, was subjected to shots from a Taurus TX 22 (.22LR), an SP8S (9mm), and a .223 caliber rifle. Surprisingly, the cooler, especially when containing a beverage, demonstrated significant resistance to penetration from the 9mm round, and even showed substantial material deformation from the .223.

This Pro Gun live stream from July 19th, 2025, covers a range of Second Amendment news and firearm discussions. Key topics include a lawsuit challenging New Jersey's short-barreled rifle ban, the dismissal of appeals regarding the pistol brace rule, and the IPO of GrabAGun.com. The host reviews firearms like the Rossi Brawler and Retay 22LR, discusses new products from Bear Creek Arsenal and Savage, and shares personal experiences with various handguns and revolvers. The stream also delves into state-level gun laws, contrasting restrictive states like California and New Jersey with more permissive ones like Tennessee, and touches on legal challenges from Gun Owners of America. Viewers engage with questions about calibers, firearm maintenance, and personal safety.

This video conducts a ballistic test comparing a 9mm Glock's performance against gallon jugs filled with water, honey, and sand. Water failed to stop the bullet, only slightly slowing it. Honey proved more effective, with the bullet penetrating the dummy after passing through. Sand was the only substance that completely stopped the 9mm round, demonstrating its effectiveness as a barrier.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a backpack filled with 1200 sheets of printer paper against various common firearm calibers. It demonstrates that while the backpack offers some resistance, it is not a reliable substitute for proper ballistic protection. The presenter suggests that arming teachers or having armed police in schools are more effective deterrents against school shootings.

The Meta Tactical Apex kit transforms a standard Glock pistol into a bullpup rifle configuration, offering a compact and lightweight firearm. It provides a 16-inch barrel, extending the effective range and increasing projectile velocity by approximately 10% or more compared to a standard pistol. While not a replacement for a dedicated PCC in competition, it serves as a fun range toy and a potential entry point for new shooters, with compatibility for various popular striker-fired platforms.

This guide details how to effectively zero a pistol red dot sight, emphasizing a progressive approach from 5 to 15 yards. It highlights the importance of using consistent ammunition (115-grain 9mm recommended) and understanding ballistic trajectory. The method involves shooting groups, connecting the bullet holes to find the center, and adjusting the optic accordingly, aiming for pinpoint accuracy between 15-25 yards.
