This guide details a performance test of the G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm round, moving beyond its internet 'gimmick' reputation. It covers methodology using ballistic gel and a PCC, analyzes penetration and fragmentation data against FBI standards, and explores the potential of barrier-blind fragmenting projectiles, offering insights from an analytical and objective instructor.

This video explores the physics and performance of fluted projectiles, often referred to as External Hollow Points (EHPs), comparing them to traditional hollow points. The presenter details the Venturi effect and hydraulic jump principles theorized to explain their performance without relying on expansion. Personal ballistic gel testing, following FBI barrier test protocols, is presented to demonstrate their consistency through barriers and potential for increased tissue damage.

This video tests the performance of G9 Defense 77-grain First Response ammunition against standard 115-grain ball and 124-grain Winchester Ranger hollow-point rounds when fired through vehicle windshield glass. The G9 Defense rounds demonstrated significantly less deflection and maintained better integrity compared to traditional ammunition, making them a potentially superior option for barrier penetration scenarios.

This video from Farewell Firearms Training tests the barrier-blind capabilities of G9 5.56 54-grain solid copper hollow-point ammunition against standard 55-grain FMJ rounds when fired through a car windshield. The test demonstrates that standard FMJ rounds fragment significantly upon impact with glass, leading to poor terminal ballistics, while the G9 solid copper rounds largely maintain their integrity, suggesting superior performance in barrier penetration scenarios.

Bill Wilson, founder of Wilson Combat, discusses his preferred EDC ammunition: Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense. He highlights its 'barrier blind' performance, meaning it maintains effectiveness through materials like windshields and car doors, unlike traditional hollow points. This insight comes from Wilson's extensive real-world testing and deep understanding of terminal ballistics.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing Underwood's 9mm Extreme Defender 68gr +P and 90gr standard pressure ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating expertise in ballistics and ammunition performance, highlights the significant differences in velocity and wound cavity creation between the two loads when fired from a subcompact pistol. The test also includes a comparative shot of Federal Premium Gold Dot 124gr standard pressure for context, emphasizing the Extreme Defender's superior performance in terms of permanent wound cavity and barrier blind capabilities.

This guide details a methodical ballistic gel test for Underwood Extreme Defender .380 ACP ammunition, as demonstrated by Buckeye Ballistics. It covers gel preparation, calibration, barrier setup, and data collection using a chronograph. The test evaluates both standard and +P pressure rounds, focusing on penetration depth, wound cavity creation, and projectile integrity, aiming to meet FBI standards. The expert-level instruction emphasizes objective, data-driven conclusions.

This video from The Gun Collective covers Lehigh Defense's innovative ammunition offerings showcased at Shot Show 2020. The presentation highlights their controlled fracturing technology, subsonic 50 BMG rounds, 450 Bushmaster fracturing bullets, and the XD line of extreme defense ammunition in calibers like 9x39mm and 300 Blackout. A key focus is the introduction of more affordable 'Eco' versions of their CNC-machined bullets, making advanced defensive ammunition more accessible.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of Fort Scott Munitions 9mm T.U.I. ammunition, featuring extensive ballistic testing by Iraqveteran8888. The expert instructor demonstrates the projectile's performance through various barriers, including ballistic gel, drywall, and pine boards, comparing results from different barrel lengths. The T.U.I. round is evaluated for its unique 'Tumble Upon Impact' design and its effectiveness in simulated self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of the 300 HAM'R cartridge, specifically with the 130-grain Speer Gold Dot bullet. Tests included penetration through ballistic gel, simulated household barriers (drywall, steel, wood), and a hog carcass. The results indicate excellent deep penetration and controlled expansion, making it suitable for hunting larger game like hogs and for tactical carbine applications.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger 135gr FlexLock ammunition's performance against various hard barriers. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, conducts structured tests using ballistics gel and materials like wood, glass, steel, and concrete. The results show the ammunition's capability to penetrate these barriers while maintaining expansion, with concrete proving to be the most challenging test.

This guide details the process used by ARFCOM News to test the Federal 5.56mm 62gr FBIT3 ammunition. The test involves firing the round from a suppressed 10.5-inch barrel AR-15 into calibrated ballistic gelatin to measure velocity, penetration, expansion, and weight retention. The results are analyzed to assess its effectiveness as a defensive round, highlighting its barrier blind capabilities.
