This video conducts a penetration test comparing 9mm Luger and .45 ACP ammunition through 2x6 lumber. It tests both Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Hollow Point (HP) projectiles to observe differences in penetration depth and expansion. The test highlights how different wood densities can affect bullet performance, particularly the expansion of hollow points.

This video tests AAC's 230-grain .45 ACP ammunition featuring XTP projectiles, evaluating its performance in ballistic gel. Despite meeting and exceeding advertised velocities from both a Glock 30 Gen 4 and a Rock Island 1911, the ammunition failed to expand, behaving identically to Blazer 230-grain FMJ. The instructor concludes that for .45 ACP 230-grain loads, especially from shorter barrels or without +P velocities, expansion is unlikely, making FMJ a more cost-effective option.
