This video provides a comprehensive ballistic gel test of various .22LR pistol self-defense ammunition. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms and ballistics, tests numerous loads for expansion and penetration through four layers of denim, simulating clothing. The tests highlight the challenges of achieving reliable expansion with .22LR from pistol-length barrels and emphasize the importance of velocity. Several ammunition types showed inconsistent performance, with some expanding and others failing to do so even within the same product line. The instructor concludes that while some .22LR rounds can be effective for self-defense, their performance is often inconsistent, and higher velocity rounds generally offer better potential for expansion and penetration.

This video from Iraqveteran8888 provides an expert-level comparison of several high-velocity .22 LR rounds, utilizing calibrated ballistics gel to objectively assess performance. The analysis focuses on penetration depth, expansion, and fragmentation, offering valuable data for selecting the most effective .22 LR ammunition for self-defense scenarios. The host's systematic approach and detailed explanations highlight his high authority in firearms instruction.
