Videos tagged with Ammunition Velocity

This video demonstrates the impact of barrel length on muzzle velocity using .38 Special ammunition. A 1.8-inch barrel Ruger LCR and a 6-inch barrel Ruger GP100 were tested. The results show a significant velocity difference between the two barrel lengths, highlighting how barrel length affects projectile speed.

This guide, informed by VSO's technical expertise, explains how to choose an effective suppressor host. It details how barrel length and ammunition type interact to affect suppressor performance, debunking common myths about back pressure and emphasizing the importance of matching ammunition to your specific firearm's barrel length for optimal sound suppression.

This Q&A session from Trench Grenade covers a range of firearms-related topics, including handgun carry options, ammunition performance, rifle building, and preparedness gear. The instructor, drawing on his military background and extensive firearms testing experience, emphasizes practical application, reliability, and the importance of mindset. He discusses specific firearm models, ammunition types like 77-grain OTM and M855A1, and essential EDC items, offering advice on how to approach training and gear selection for various scenarios.

This review from Honest Outlaw provides an expert-level assessment of the Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) 3G Gen-12 shotgun. The reviewer, demonstrating high authority and technical expertise, highlights its AR-platform controls, reliability with high-velocity 12-gauge ammunition (1200 FPS+), and compares it favorably against established models like the Benelli M4 and Beretta 1301 for home defense and competition.

This video presents a chronograph test of Armscor .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 6-inch barrel Rossi RM66 revolver. The presenter notes that advertised velocities for .357 Magnum, particularly with 158-grain bullets, are often for rifle-length barrels and not achievable from a handgun. The tested Armscor loads produced lower-than-expected velocities and recoil, feeling more like .38 Special. The presenter also shares past negative experiences with Armscor ammunition reliability.

This video explores the advantages of bullpup shotguns, highlighting their compact design, improved ballistics due to longer barrels in shorter packages, and enhanced capacity without increased bulk. It also discusses the rearward weight distribution's benefit for reloading and maneuverability, particularly in home defense scenarios, while acknowledging potential drawbacks like trigger quality and the necessity of hand stops.

This video from TA Targets provides essential guidelines for safe shooting distances with their AR500 steel targets. It details recommended minimum distances for various handgun and rifle calibers, emphasizing the impact of muzzle velocity. The instructor also covers approved ammunition types and stresses the importance of testing and inspection.

This video discusses the unreliability of stated ammunition velocities often found on packaging. It emphasizes that real-world performance can differ significantly from advertised figures. While specific firearm models or calibers are not mentioned in the provided title and description, the core topic suggests a focus on ballistic data, ammunition performance, and potentially firearm testing or comparison where velocity is a key metric. The link provided likely leads to a vendor or manufacturer related to firearms or ammunition.

This video appears to be about a "Cheap Chronograph Disposal Program." Given the title, it's likely a program related to the disposal or recycling of chronographs, which are devices used to measure projectile velocity. The video's content is unknown without a transcript, but the title suggests a potential focus on the practical or logistical aspects of managing these devices, possibly within a gun-related context given the common use of chronographs in firearm performance testing.

This review of the Citadel Boss 25 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun highlights significant recoil and operational issues. The reviewer experienced several "hang-ups" where rounds failed to chamber, attributing this to the lightweight buffer weight and high-velocity ammunition (1600 ft/s). The shotgun's punishing recoil led to the decision to sell the firearm, emphasizing the importance of shooting enjoyable firearms.

This video details an accuracy test of the 7 Backcountry rifle, comparing performance with and without a suppressor. The presenter, Garrett, a videographer for Backfire, conducted the test to address viewer requests for group size data. The results indicate that the suppressor generally improved accuracy, though a loose suppressor initially caused flyers. The test also measured ammunition velocity, noting differences due to the 16-inch barrel compared to advertised specifications.

This video compares the suppressed sound levels of a FNX 45 ACP and an M&P 22. The FNX 45 ACP fired standard velocity 230-grain ammunition at 830 ft/s, while the M&P 22 fired standard velocity 22LR at 1200 ft/s. The test utilized a sound meter to measure decibel levels.
