This video explores the terminal ballistics of 9mm ammunition impacting a frozen lake. The experiment demonstrates that while 9mm rounds can penetrate ice, they do not typically bounce back spinning as some might expect. The test also shows that even with shallow ice, 9mm bullets can be recovered, and a 'mag dump' can effectively create an ice fishing hole.

This video demonstrates a ballistics test to determine if books within a backpack can slow down or stop 9mm jacketed hollow-point (JHP) rounds. The instructor fires Winchester 9mm JHP ammunition from a CZ P10 into a backpack containing books, then examines the penetration and recovers the bullets. The test shows that while books can impede bullets, they do not always stop them completely, with some rounds penetrating through multiple books.

This video demonstrates a practical technique for recovering a projectile from a ballistic vest after a live-fire test. The demonstration, led by Ziga from Polenar Tactical, showcases safe firearm handling and the process of extracting an expanded hollow-point bullet. It highlights the performance of the Bul Armory Axe FS handgun with 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition.

This guide details a long-range accuracy test for the Rossi RS22M rifle in .22 WMR caliber, conducted by Buckeye Ballistics. It covers setup, ammunition choices, and performance evaluation at distances up to 400 yards. The expert demonstrates troubleshooting a failed scope and analyzes bullet performance at extended ranges, highlighting the impact of velocity variance.

This expert-level analysis from ARFCOM News investigates the suitability of .223 Winchester 64gr Power Core, a deer hunting round, for home defense. Through extensive ballistic gelatin testing, the video demonstrates deep penetration and significant tissue disruption, though bullet recovery proved challenging due to extreme curving. While adequate for defense, it's not ideal compared to specialized defensive rounds.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a .44 Magnum and an AK-47 when fired into a pool of water. The .44 Magnum, using Mag-Tech 240-grain soft point ammunition, penetrated further into the water than the AK-47's full metal jacket rounds. The instructor notes that faster, harder rounds can sometimes have less penetration due to energy dispersal upon impact, while slower rounds may penetrate further. Bullet recovery was performed for both firearms.

This review tests Fiocchi's Extrema XTP 115-grain defensive ammunition. The test involved firing the rounds into ballistic gel using a 3.2-inch barrel Walther PPS and a 4-inch barrel Walther P99. While the ammunition performed well in the gel, the recovered bullet showed less expansion and retained weight than advertised, weighing 107 grains out of the original 115 and expanding to 0.4 inches.

This video details an experiment by Edwin Sarkissian to determine how many bowling pins are needed to stop a bullet. Using a Glock 19 (9mm) and a Glock 23 (.40 S&W), Sarkissian tests the ballistic resistance of standard bowling pins, finding they possess significant stopping power due to their solid wood core. The experiment includes visual inspection, live-fire testing, and post-shot analysis of recovered projectiles.
