This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video tests the effectiveness of a medieval handgonne and its projectiles against modern body armor. The handgonne, a crude firearm from the 1400s-1500s, fired wooden bolts with iron tips. Tests included shooting ballistics gel and both soft (Level 3A) and hard (Level 4 ceramic) body armor. The medieval projectiles proved surprisingly effective against soft armor, penetrating both sides, while the lead ball did not penetrate. Against hard armor, the projectiles caused surface damage but did not penetrate.

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the 7mm-08 Remington cartridge, pushing it to its limits through ballistics gel testing at 400 and 600 yards. The presenter compares its performance against popular cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, and .280 Ackley Improved, concluding it's a highly capable and often underestimated hunting round. A review of the Fierce Mini Rogue 2.0 rifle chambered in 7mm-08 is also included, highlighting its features but noting accuracy concerns.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 6 Creedmoor cartridges, focusing on their effectiveness for hunting and competition. It highlights the 6 Creedmoor's efficiency with shorter barrels, lower recoil, and comparable terminal ballistics to the 6.5 Creedmoor for deer hunting. The content includes ballistics gel testing, accuracy demonstrations, and discussions on rifle configurations and ammunition choices.

This video demonstrates the effects of specialized 9mm Havoc ammunition, featuring an incendiary compound, using ballistic gelatin and steel targets. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, showcases the ammunition's dual explosive potential – igniting in soft tissue and detonating further on impact with a steel target. The E-Most XP Pro pistol is highlighted for its suitability with this heavy, low-recoil ammunition.

This guide details a comprehensive ballistics gel testing procedure for the Q Honey Badger, focusing on the performance of various .300 Blackout ammunition types. It includes live-fire demonstrations of subsonic and supersonic rounds, as well as a full-auto magazine dump, to illustrate the rifle's energy transfer and wound cavity potential. The expert instruction emphasizes safe range practices and detailed analysis of projectile behavior.

This video reviews the CMMG MK4 Descent in 338 Arc caliber, focusing on its performance with subsonic ammunition. The reviewer, Chris from Honest Outlaw, details initial reliability issues that were resolved by adjusting the gas block. He compares the 338 Arc to 300 Blackout and discusses its potential as a quiet, powerful option for home defense or as a truck gun, despite its higher cost and limited niche.

Shortshot Tony demonstrates the effectiveness of .380 ACP hollow point ammunition for self-defense using a Springfield Armory Hellcat .380 and Clear Ballistics gel. The test shows that hollow points like Hornady Critical Defense and Federal HST expand reliably and achieve adequate penetration, unlike FMJ rounds which over-penetrate. The video concludes that .380 hollow points are a worthwhile investment for improved terminal ballistics in defensive scenarios.

This video tests DoubleTap's Snake Shot Defense ammunition, designed for semi-automatic pistols in 9mm, .45 ACP, and 10mm. Unlike traditional snake shot, this load features a hollow point bullet followed by a payload of #9 shot, intended for both snake deterrence and self-defense against human threats. Testing in ballistics gel demonstrates the effectiveness of the shot payload and the penetration of the leading bullet.

This video compares the lethality of small pocket pistols against a standard 9mm handgun. It tests a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 in .380 ACP and a Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun in .22 Magnum using ballistic gel. The results indicate that even small firearms can be surprisingly effective, with the .380 ACP showing comparable wound channels and penetration to a 9mm, and the .22 Magnum demonstrating good expansion and penetration for its size.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of 338 ARC supersonic ammunition fired into a ballistic gel block. The test reveals a significant wound channel, with the bullet appearing to tumble and deviate, ultimately stopping within the gel. The performance is contrasted with a previous 300 Blackout supersonic shot that penetrated completely through the block.
