Videos tagged with 9mm FMJ

This video from Yee Yee Life explores the ballistic penetration capabilities of various firearms and ammunition types through basketballs. Lead Firearms Instructor and SEO Strategist Parker demonstrates the stopping power of .22LR, 9mm (FMJ and Hollow Point), 12 Gauge (Birdshot and Slug), and .50 BMG rounds. The experiment highlights how different projectile designs and calibers interact with a soft, yielding medium like a basketball, offering practical insights into terminal ballistics and the limitations of improvised barriers.

This report details the growing ammunition crisis in the United States, driven by increased wartime demand, constrained components, and the loss of import pressure. The closure of AAC Ammunition serves as a warning signal for tightening availability and rising prices on common calibers like 9mm and 5.56. The video advises proactive preparedness, recommending training and building a buffer of ammunition.

This video analyzes the current sharp decline in ammunition prices, attributing it to a confluence of factors including increased US factory output, a surge in imports driven by upcoming tariffs, and market consolidation. The speaker, Luke from Line45, warns that this price drop is likely a temporary surplus and not a new baseline, advising viewers to strategically purchase ammunition while prices are low. He outlines a disciplined buying strategy, focusing on bulk FMJ for training and topping off defensive loads, while emphasizing proper storage and avoiding panic buying.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the durability of a 1909, 145 lb wrought iron anvil against various firearms, from 9mm handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. The anvil demonstrates remarkable resilience, with only the .50 BMG API round causing significant damage, creating a small crater and fireball but failing to penetrate. The content creator, Parker, provides an engaging and humorous demonstration of ballistic testing.

This video analyzes the significant drop in ammunition prices, particularly for 9mm and 5.56 NATO. It attributes the decline to overproduction by manufacturers, increased imports, reduced demand, and a healed supply chain. The speaker warns that current low prices may be temporary due to finite inventory, potential tariffs, and the cyclical nature of political events influencing demand. Experienced shooters are advised to use dollar-cost averaging to replenish stocks strategically, focusing on essential calibers and quality defensive rounds.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a DIY armor setup consisting of ceramic plates layered on a stack of paper. It demonstrates that this configuration can stop .22 LR and 9mm FMJ rounds but is penetrated by a 7.62x39mm round from an AK-47, even with multiple plates. The experiment highlights the limitations of simple DIY ballistic solutions against more powerful calibers.

This video demonstrates a DIY approach to creating rudimentary body armor using common office supplies and ceramic plates. The Civilian Tactical host conducts informal ballistics tests with .22 LR, 9mm FMJ, and 7.62x39mm rounds, showcasing the effectiveness of the layered paper and ceramic against different calibers. While presented informally, the tests offer a practical, albeit basic, look at projectile stopping power.

This video from Nikko Ortiz demonstrates a unique ballistics test, measuring how many rolls of toilet paper are required to stop various bullet calibers, from 9mm to 300 Norma Magnum. The experiment highlights differences in projectile energy and construction, with higher-powered rounds penetrating more material. The video also includes rapid-fire tests and a flashbang demonstration, presented with high-energy entertainment.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of PUBG-themed cast iron skillets against various handgun and rifle calibers. The instructor, Mrgunsngear, demonstrates how multiple skillets are needed to stop most rounds, with rifle calibers consistently penetrating through several layers. The test highlights the varying effectiveness of different ammunition types and calibers against this unconventional barrier.

This guide details an experiment demonstrating that a 9mm FMJ cartridge detonating due to cook-off in a controlled environment (cardboard box over fire) poses minimal projectile danger. It then transitions to a practical demonstration of a handgun malfunction clearance drill, emphasizing safe and effective handling of common firearm issues. The video, presented by experienced shooter Shortshot Tony, highlights practical firearm safety and tactical application.

This video provides a comprehensive review and extreme testing of HTS Hunter Sky safety glasses. The presenter demonstrates their durability against BB gun impacts and extreme fragmentation from 9mm FMJ rounds fired at a steel target, even in cold weather. The glasses, certified to ANSI Z87+ and MIL-PRF standards, are shown to withstand significant abuse without penetration, making them a highly recommended option for shooting sports and industrial use.

This video from Yee Yee Life, featuring Granger Smith, tests the ballistic resistance of a HUMVEE windshield against various calibers. The windshield successfully stopped smaller rounds like .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum, showing significant surface damage and deformation. However, high-velocity rifle rounds (.223 Remington) and large shotgun slugs (12-Gauge) penetrated the glass, demonstrating its limitations against more powerful ammunition.
