Videos tagged with Bullet Performance

This video from Guns Blazing Ranch provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of 9mm Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Radically Invasive Projectile (R.I.P.) ammunition performance. Utilizing slow-motion footage and clay block impacts, the demonstration highlights the distinct terminal ballistics of each round. The R.I.P. round exhibits a significantly more explosive and fragmenting effect compared to the FMJ.

This review by Tools&Targets compares PPU and Magtech .32 ACP JHP ammunition through ballistic gel and velocity testing. The expert instructor found neither performed exceptionally well, with limited expansion and penetration, suggesting better options like Buffalo Bore for .32 ACP self-defense. The Beretta 3032 Tomcat was used for testing.

This video demonstrates an informal ballistic test of 9mm ammunition fired into a frozen lake. The experiment, conducted by an individual with clear firearm handling experience, aimed to observe bullet behavior upon impact with ice. The results showed that the 9mm bullets did not spin as sometimes seen in other videos and primarily created holes in the ice, with one bullet bouncing back. The test utilized a Girsan Witness Match X 2011 handgun equipped with a red dot optic.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of two 9mm +P rounds, Liberty Bear Country and Federal Solid Core, for potential bear defense. The test, conducted by the Tools&Targets host using ballistic gel and a Canik TP9 SFX, reveals significant differences in performance. The Liberty round fragmented extensively, penetrating 12.5 inches, while the Federal round maintained its integrity, achieving 24 inches of penetration. The host concludes that while both rounds perform as advertised, 9mm is generally insufficient for grizzly bear defense.

This review by Boondock Ballistician critically examines SimX DefenseCore ammunition, highlighting its high advertised velocity but poor terminal ballistics. Testing revealed insufficient penetration (5-6 inches in gel) and a tendency for the jacket to collapse, failing to meet self-defense standards. The analysis concludes the round is a gimmick, lacking the mass and structure for effective performance despite its speed.

This review compares 9mm Dragon's Breath ammunition to traditional hollow points for self-defense. While visually striking with its incendiary effect, the Dragon's Breath is an FMJ round that over-penetrates and lacks expansion, making it inferior to hollow points which are designed to dump mass effectively. The video also promotes 945 Industries off-body carry bags.

This video details a ballistics test investigating the claim that a .30-06 round could be stopped by a human neck. Using an anatomically correct dummy, the test fired both a 150gr Hornady Ballistic Tip and a 150gr Fiocchi FMJ round. The results, analyzed by an expert instructor, showed complete penetration and significant destruction of the vertebrae in both tests, concluding that it is extremely unlikely for a .30-06 to stop in a human neck.

This YouTube video tests the effectiveness of 'Deer Antler Bullets' (Bala de Chifre de Veado). The title directly questions whether this unique ammunition actually works, suggesting a performance evaluation or demonstration. It's likely to involve shooting tests to assess the bullet's capabilities, possibly comparing it to standard ammunition or showcasing its intended application. The content would appeal to firearms enthusiasts interested in novel ammunition types and their practical performance.

This video demonstrates the extreme destructive power of a large caliber bullet fired from a Thompson/Center Arms firearm against a concrete block. The presenter, exhibiting high authority and expertise in firearms and ballistics, shows how the bullet completely disintegrates the block and itself, highlighting a massive energy dump. The demonstration underscores the significant terminal ballistics capabilities of heavy, large-caliber projectiles.

This video tests if a 20-grain Aguila Super Colibri .22LR bullet can ignite a Firebird M50 reactive target, which typically requires a rifle-caliber hit. The subsonic, low-velocity round failed to detonate the target, only punching through. A full-power .22LR from a suppressed handgun eventually succeeded after multiple attempts, highlighting the limitations of very light, slow projectiles for explosive targets.

This video tests the performance of four popular hunting cartridges when fired into solid concrete, moving beyond typical ballistic gelatin testing. The focus is on evaluating the bullets' efficiency, penetration, and knockdown power against a very hard, unconventional medium. Slow-motion footage captures the destructive impact, offering a unique visual and analytical perspective on cartridge capabilities in an extreme scenario. The content aims to provide surprising insights into what happens when these rounds meet solid concrete.

This YouTube video investigates the potential dangers of cork bullets when fired from a shotgun. The title explicitly mentions testing 'balas de cortiça' (cork bullets) in a 'escopeta' (shotgun), indicating a focus on the performance and safety implications of this unusual ammunition. The content likely aims to demonstrate the effects of these projectiles and assess whether they pose a significant risk.
