This video explains the functional difference between hollow point and full metal jacket ammunition, focusing on their terminal ballistics. Hollow point bullets are designed to expand upon impact, releasing their energy into the target and stopping quickly, making them ideal for self-defense. Full metal jacket rounds, conversely, tend to over-penetrate soft targets.

This video compares two distinct 12-gauge shotgun rounds, the RIP and Sbrown, by testing their terminal ballistics in ballistic gelatin. Both rounds utilize different expansion mechanisms: the RIP features petals that separate upon impact, while the Sbrown has a massive hollow-point cavity designed to collapse. Despite their differing designs, both rounds create significant wound cavities and demonstrate comparable performance in terms of petal separation distance and core penetration, suggesting either could be an effective choice.

This video compares two distinct 12 gauge shotgun slugs, the RIP and SAB rounds, both priced at $10 each. It details their unique expansion mechanisms and demonstrates their terminal ballistics through ballistic gelatin testing. Both rounds exhibit significant wound cavities and effective performance, though with different expansion strategies.

This guide details the technique for safely and effectively firing the Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector 2nd Model revolver, as demonstrated by an instructor with high authority. It covers loading with .455 Webley MKII ammunition and engaging targets in both double-action and single-action modes, emphasizing proper trigger control and follow-through. The demonstration also highlights projectile expansion after impact.

This video tests the terminal ballistics of 500-grain Black Butterfly Munition Pow Hatan .45-70 ammunition fired from a Marlin lever-action rifle equipped with an EOTech optic and an Inacoic suppressor. The testing involves shooting the ammunition into ballistics gel to observe expansion and penetration, comparing it to other calibers like 5.56mm and .300 Blackout. The presenter also discusses the performance and aesthetics of the Inacoic suppressor on the rifle.

This video provides a ballistic gel test comparing Hornady Critical Defense .22 WMR ammunition fired from a Walther WMP (4.5-inch barrel) and a Heritage Barkeep revolver (2.625-inch barrel). The test evaluates velocity, penetration, expansion, and wound channel characteristics. The Walther WMP demonstrated higher velocities and greater expansion/penetration compared to the Heritage Barkeep, suggesting superior performance in a self-defense context when barrel length is not a primary concealment concern.

This Q&A episode from Ozzie Reviews covers various firearm-related topics, including the impact of barrel twist rates on projectile stabilization, the advantages of free-floating barrels, recommended cleaning frequencies, and the selection of scope mounts based on scope tube diameter. It also delves into ammunition types like Sierra Blitz King and Game King, discusses preferred calibers in a restricted scenario (22 Magnum, .223/Triple Duece, 6.5 Creedmoor), and touches upon the quality of Volkmann Arms rifles. The host also addresses concerns about YouTube's content policies and his plans for content continuity.

This video reviews the performance of Winchester PDX1 Defender 95-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition in an 85% scale Browning 1911-380 pistol. The ammunition demonstrated consistent expansion and penetration in ballistic gel, making it a suitable defensive option for the compact firearm. The reviewer emphasizes the importance of pairing quality ammunition with a reliable firearm for effective self-defense.

This video serves as a beginner's guide to understanding and selecting centerfire ammunition. It delves into different types of ammunition suitable for hunting and match shooting, visually demonstrating their expansion characteristics. The content is educational, aiming to equip viewers with the knowledge to make informed ammunition choices for their firearms.

This video from Brownells provides an animated demonstration of the Winchester PDX1 12 Gauge defensive ammunition, illustrating its expansion patterns at various distances. The animation aims to show the effectiveness and terminal ballistics of these rounds for defensive applications. The description also directs viewers to the Brownells video website for more information.
