This video provides a detailed ballistic gelatin test comparing FN's 40-grain FMJ and 40-grain SS197 V-Max ammunition fired from a PSA Rock 57 pistol. The test evaluates projectile performance, including velocity, penetration, expansion, and tumbling, both in bare gelatin and after passing through a makeshift barrier. The presenter notes the tendency of 5.7x28mm FMJ to tumble and its impact on damage, contrasting it with the SS197's ballistic tip performance.
This video from Banana Ballistics provides a detailed comparison of the .308 Win, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Win Mag calibers through various barrier tests. The host, demonstrating high authority and an analytical approach, uses a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph to record velocity data. Key findings include the .300 Win Mag's superior penetration against heavy steel, while the .308 Win shows remarkable efficiency.
This video presents a ballistic gel test of Winchester 200gr Subsonic 300 Blackout ammunition, evaluating its performance in terms of expansion, penetration, and wound cavity creation. The test reveals inconsistent results, with one shot showing significant expansion and jacket separation, while others exhibited minimal expansion and relied on tumbling for damage. The presenter questions the suitability of standard subsonic 300 Blackout rounds for home defense due to their inconsistent terminal ballistics.
This video presents a ballistic gel test of Underwood 9mm +P 147gr Hardcast ammunition fired from a subcompact Taurus G2 pistol. The test includes penetration through ballistic gel and a barrier of denim and plywood. The results are compared to a Barnes Tac-XP 115gr hollow point, highlighting the superior penetration of the hardcast rounds, making them a viable option for large predator defense.
This YouTube Shorts video showcases a barrier test of a 300 HAM'R Protector Carbine using 110gr Controlled Chaos ammunition. The test utilizes high-speed camera footage and 24-inch gel blocks to demonstrate the projectile's performance and wound channel after penetrating various barriers, aiming to prove its ultimate effectiveness.
This video from 1ShotTV tests the performance of Fort Scott Munitions' 115gr 9mm T.U.I. ammunition. The test involves firing the rounds through barriers such as glass, wood, and metal before impacting Clear Ballistics 20% Ballistics Gel. The firearm used is a Glock 17. The creator explicitly states this is not a scientific test but for fun and experimental purposes. The video also includes a request for channel support via Patreon.
This video features an independent ballistic test of Fort Scott Munitions' Tumble Upon Impact (T.U.I.) 9mm ammunition, conducted by Iraqveteran8888. The test compares the T.U.I. rounds against established self-defense loads like Federal HST and Hornady Critical Defense, using a CZ SP-01 Phantom and a multi-layer clothing barrier test over Clear Ballistics gel. The expert analysis highlights the unique terminal ballistics of the T.U.I. round, noting its deep penetration and significant wound channel, while also comparing its performance to traditional expanding bullets.
