This video from Garand Thumb, featuring Mike, methodically tests the myth that thick clothing can stop bullets or clog hollow points. Using high-speed cameras and ballistics gel, the expert instructor demonstrates that standard clothing offers minimal protection and can indeed cause hollow points to fail to expand. Specialized ammunition is tested as a solution for reliable performance through barriers.
This video discusses the concept of 'winter carry' versus 'summer carry' for firearms, emphasizing how clothing choices and environmental factors influence handgun selection. The speaker, with extensive firearms experience, advocates for carrying the largest firearm that can be comfortably and effectively concealed, noting that heavier clothing in winter allows for larger guns with longer barrels, which generally offer better shootability and control. Ammunition choice is also highlighted as being dependent on the specific firearm.
This video tests the visibility of red and green laser aiming devices on various shirt colors and patterns. The findings indicate that both red and green lasers are generally visible on different backgrounds, though green lasers may appear slightly brighter to the eye. The texture and specific color combinations of clothing can subtly affect perceived brightness, but visibility remains consistent enough for practical use.
