Videos tagged with Bullet Deflection

This video from Tactical Rifleman demonstrates how bullets interact with a car hood, emphasizing unpredictable ricochet and deflection. The expert instructor highlights that a car hood is not a reliable shooting platform and rounds fired at an angle will deflect, potentially missing targets behind the vehicle. The demonstration shows that even a target placed a few feet behind the car was not hit by deflected rounds.

This guide details an experiment by Civilian Tactical to test handgun accuracy when shooting through a car windshield. The host, demonstrating experienced authority, uses a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield Plus with a Riton Optics RPX-1 to evaluate bullet deflection with different ammunition types. The findings indicate that Full Metal Jacket rounds perform better than Hollow Points in this specific scenario, though accuracy remains challenging.

This video demonstrates how easily bullets can deflect when fired through obstacles like thick brush. Instructor Kyle from Classic Firearms tests common calibers including 9mm, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester, and .45 ACP at 25-35 yards. The results show significant deflection, tumbling, and altered trajectories, highlighting the importance of understanding bullet behavior in real-world hunting or self-defense situations.

This livestream features firearms instructors Nate and Gary analyzing footage and evidence related to a shooting incident involving Charlie Kirk. They discuss ballistics, the effectiveness of body armor (specifically plates), and the physics of bullet impacts. The conversation delves into the lack of an exit wound, the behavior of the shirt during impact, and the possibility of ricochets or deflections off ballistic plates. They also examine the timeline of events and the presence or absence of body armor.

This video from Garand Thumb provides an expert analysis of firearm projectile performance through automobile glass, a critical skill for urban survival. Mike (Garand Thumb), a recognized subject matter expert with a background in Special Warfare, details the physics of glass types, the 'cone of deflection,' and how various calibers and ammunition types (5.56 NATO, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester, 12 Gauge slugs) perform against these barriers. The instruction emphasizes empirical testing and practical application for self-defense scenarios.

This video introduces Hornady's new 25 Creedmoor cartridge, highlighting its advantages over the 6.5 Creedmoor for precision rifle competitions and hunting. The 25 Creedmoor offers reduced recoil, improved wind deflection, and flatter trajectory due to its ability to efficiently stabilize long, high ballistic coefficient bullets. It's presented as a purpose-built cartridge for modern long-range shooting.

This video from Nikko Ortiz humorously tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms against layers of condoms. It features firearms like the Sig P320, Sig MCX Spear LT, Mossberg 590, and HK MR 762, testing calibers from 9mm to .308 Winchester. The experiment highlights differences in bullet behavior based on caliber, velocity, and projectile type, with an emphasis on entertainment and basic firearm knowledge.

This video details techniques for defensive shooting in and around vehicles, emphasizing the importance of understanding bullet behavior like deflection and penetration through various vehicle components. It highlights how different ammunition types interact with car doors, windows, and interior structures, and provides practical advice on positioning, movement, and overcoming challenges like seat belts when engaging threats from a vehicle.

This video demonstrates shooting through a vehicle windshield to assess ammunition performance and bullet deflection. It compares Full Metal Jacket (FMJ), subsonic, and Carios Below XRG defense rounds, noting differences in penetration, hole size, and impact deviation. The test also includes a tire deflation comparison, highlighting the effectiveness of XRG rounds.

Garand Thumb humorously investigates the claim that breast implants can save lives by deflecting bullets. Using ballistic dummies and real implant samples, they test various calibers from .22 LR to 5.56mm and 12 Gauge buckshot. The tests reveal that while a low-energy .22 LR might show some deflection under specific conditions, breast implants offer no reliable ballistic protection against common defensive calibers. The expert assessment highlights proficient firearm handling and understanding of terminal ballistics.

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 demonstrates a practical experiment by firearms instructor Edwin Sarkissian, testing bullet accuracy when fired through a vehicle's windshield. Using a Glock 17 and 9mm FMJ ammunition, the test establishes a baseline accuracy and then measures the deflection and trajectory changes caused by shooting through laminated glass. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding how environmental factors affect projectile performance.
