This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a comprehensive gel test of Federal HST 124gr +P 9mm ammunition across various barrel lengths (3.3" to 10.5"). The expert analysis highlights how barrel length significantly impacts velocity and bullet expansion, with longer barrels generally yielding higher velocities and more dramatic "flowering" of the projectile. The test uses calibrated ballistic gelatin to simulate tissue and offers valuable insights for selecting ammunition based on intended firearm platform.

This comprehensive review details the performance of CCI Uppercut .22 LR ammunition, specifically its velocity, accuracy, and terminal ballistics. Testing conducted with a Ruger 22 Charger and a Caldwell chronograph revealed significantly higher velocities than advertised. Ballistics gel tests demonstrated effective expansion and penetration, with the speaker noting potential improvements with stabilizing braces for accuracy.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides an in-depth analysis of the Aguila Colibri .22 LR ammunition, often touted as the world's weakest. Through rigorous testing, including sound level measurements, velocity checks, and penetration tests against pine boards and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates its extremely low power. The analysis concludes that while not entirely without potential hazards, the Colibri lacks the energy for reliable lethality compared to standard ammunition, emphasizing the need for precise shot placement.

This video compares the ballistic performance of an AR-15 with a 10.5-inch barrel versus a 16-inch barrel. The test utilizes M855 FMJ ammunition and 60-grain Nosler Partition rounds fired into clear ballistics gel, with data captured by a chronograph.

The Full Metal Kraken 12G ammunition features a unique 8-segment solid copper projectile designed for fragmentation upon impact. Testing demonstrated significant energy transfer into a water bucket and pinpoint accuracy on a paper target. Ballistics gel testing confirmed substantial expansion and over 12 inches of penetration, showcasing its terminal performance.

This review of the Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun by Civilian Tactical highlights its exceptionally small, wallet-like form factor, chambered in .22 LR. The video demonstrates its unique folding mechanism, requiring manual hammer cocking for each shot. Despite its diminutive size, ballistics gel tests reveal surprising lethality, with rounds penetrating over 12 inches.

This video conducts a gel test comparing the performance of 9mm Federal HST 124gr +P ammunition across various barrel lengths, ranging from 3 inches to 16 inches. The test utilizes different firearms, including the Beretta Nano, CZ 75B, CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1, and Kel-Tec Sub 2000, to observe the impact of barrel length on bullet expansion and penetration in Clear Ballistics gel.

This video presents a 100-yard ballistics gel test for the 6.5 Grendel cartridge, utilizing an 18-inch barrel. The test evaluates four different bullet types: Hornady SST 123gr, Speer Gold Dot 120gr, Hornady GMX 120gr, and Hornady Eld-M 123gr. All tested loads were reportedly assembled with the same powder charge, allowing for a direct comparison of projectile performance in ballistic gelatin at a common hunting and self-defense range.

The Sig Rattler LT in .300 Blackout is evaluated as a superior PDW platform, excelling in compactness and reliability. Testing revealed significant differences in terminal ballistics between subsonic and supersonic rounds, with supersonic loads creating much larger wound channels. The platform's modularity and ambidextrous controls are highlighted, though its high MSRP of $2699 is noted.

This video features a ballistic gel test of 10mm Federal Fusion 200gr ammunition. The test is conducted using two Springfield Armory XD-M pistols, one with a 3.8-inch barrel and another with a 4.5-inch barrel. The content focuses on evaluating the performance of the ammunition in terms of penetration, expansion, and other terminal ballistics characteristics.

This video traces the evolution of Kentucky State Police duty sidearms, starting with the Smith & Wesson 686 revolver and progressing through semi-automatic pistols like the S&W 1076, Glock 35, and the current Glock 17 Gen 5. Ballistics tests are conducted on each caliber (.357 Magnum, 10mm, .40 S&W, 9mm) using Speer Gold Dot ammunition, revealing surprising performance differences. The adoption of Staccato 2011 models by other agencies is also noted.

This video features a ballistics gel test of the .308 Winchester cartridge loaded with a 125-grain Speer TNT varmint bullet. The test aims to demonstrate the terminal performance of this specific bullet type and load combination.
