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 video features a ballistic penetration test comparing the Sig P365 AXG Legion (9mm) and the Kimber K6S (2" snub nose revolver in .357 Magnum). The test utilizes a paper block to assess penetration depths of 9mm FMJ, 9mm Federal HST Hollow Point, .357 Magnum JSP, and .38 Special rounds. Muzzle velocity for both firearms is measured using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro, highlighting velocity differences due to barrel length. The video is geared towards viewers interested in everyday carry (EDC) performance, caliber comparisons, and red dot optics on pistols.

This video demonstrates a DIY approach to body armor using common household items, specifically a ceramic dish and copy paper, tested against various calibers. The Civilian Tactical host, an enthusiast with practical ballistics testing experience, showcases the effectiveness of this improvised armor against .22 LR, 9mm FMJ, and 7.62x39mm rounds fired from a 1911 and an AK-47. While the ceramic plates shatter, the paper stack proves surprisingly effective at stopping projectiles, though penetration increases with more powerful ammunition.

This video demonstrates that a firearm round detonating outside the barrel, often called a 'cook-off,' is not as dangerous as commonly perceived. An experiment showed that a 9mm FMJ round heated to detonation point did not penetrate a cardboard box, with shrapnel contained. The video then transitions to practical application, showing how to safely clear a simulated firearm malfunction and re-engage targets.

This video strongly advises against using Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition for defensive carry due to its tendency to over-penetrate. Hollow Point (HP) ammunition is recommended for its expansion and energy dumping capabilities, which mitigate over-penetration risks. Tests using ballistic gel and a dummy head visually demonstrate the superior terminal performance of HP rounds in self-defense scenarios.

This video tests a bulletproof HUMVEE windshield against various calibers, from .22 LR to a 12-gauge slug. While it stops handgun rounds like 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum, it fails against high-velocity rifle rounds like the .223 Remington and is easily penetrated by a 12-gauge slug. The windshield shows significant surface shattering and bulging but no penetration for handgun calibers.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of MrBeast's Feastables chocolate bars. It was found that 15 bars were needed to stop a .22 LR round, 24 bars for a 9mm FMJ, and approximately 30 bars for a 7.62x39mm AK round. The experiment highlights the surprising density and potential stopping power of stacked chocolate bars against various ammunition types.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of several thick chopping cleavers against various calibers. While .22 Magnum and 9mm FMJ rounds caused only minor damage (with one handle failure), .357 Magnum and .45-70 Government rounds proved too much, shattering multiple blades due to brittleness. One 'Made in America' cleaver survived an initial .45-70 impact but failed on the second.

This video tests the 'bulletproof' claims of various chopping cleavers against different firearm calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 Magnum and 9mm FMJ were stopped by the steel blades, higher-powered rifle rounds (.357 Magnum and especially .45-70 Government) caused structural failure due to the material's brittleness, shattering the cleavers despite stopping the projectiles.

This expert-level review from Warrior Poet Society details the ballistic testing of the Armored Republic A3 hybrid armor plate. The plate, constructed from alloy, polyethylene, and polyurea, was subjected to 9mm FMJ, 5.56mm M193, 5.56mm M855 Green Tip, and 6.5 Creedmoor rounds. The A3 plate demonstrated impressive multi-hit capability, stopping all tested rounds with significant deformation but no pass-through, leading to its approval for the Warrior Poet Society website.
