This video from Kentucky Ballistics, featuring Scott, explores the minimum velocity required for a 9mm bullet to achieve lethal effect. Using a Ballistic Dummy Lab torso and a ProChrono DLX chronograph, the experiment systematically tests various 9mm loads fired from pistols with different barrel lengths. The results demonstrate a clear correlation between velocity and penetration, culminating in a dramatic test of a 4-gauge shotgun.

This video features Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch conducting a humorous yet informative ballistics test involving shooting gallons of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. He demonstrates the impact of barrel length on .357 Magnum velocity using a Colt Python and a lever-action rifle, then tests various calibers against steel targets and the dressing. The experiment culminates with a Barrett M82 .50 BMG obliterating the setup, highlighting extreme projectile energy.
