This video compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition using gel block testing. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, causing substantial damage to the test setup. The 7.62x39mm round, while also expanding, showed greater penetration, passing through the gel block and the table. The test highlights the different performance characteristics of these popular calibers in terms of tissue damage and penetration.

This video demonstrates a three-step testing protocol for evaluating the performance of a 'Tenderizer' shotgun slug. The tests include an energy assessment with a water bucket, an accuracy evaluation on paper, and a lethality test using ballistics gelatin and a watermelon. The results indicate the slug possesses significant energy and creates a large wound channel, suggesting high lethality.
