This video tests the terminal performance of old-school Federal Hi-Shok .40 S&W 155gr ammunition fired from a Glock 23 into ballistic gel. The test assesses penetration, retained weight, and expansion through bare gel and heavy clothing to determine if this classic projectile design can still compete with modern defensive rounds. Impact velocities are also recorded.

This video showcases a ballistic gel test of 5.56mm Barnes 85gr Open Tip Match ammunition fired from a 10.5-inch AR-15 upper with a 1:7 twist barrel. The test measures velocity, penetration (14 inches), expansion/fragmentation, and retained weight (31.0gr). Multiple velocity readings are provided, averaging 2,261 fps with a standard deviation of 28.82 fps. The firearm used is an AR15.com upper with an RRA lower.
