This video provides a scientific ballistic gel test of the 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, evaluating the performance of three different hunting rounds: Hornady American Whitetail 129gr Interlock, Barnes Vortex 120gr TTSX, and Hornady V-Max 95gr. The presenter, using a Bergara Nightstalker rifle equipped with a thermal scope, demonstrates bullet expansion, penetration depth, and wound cavity creation. An additional test involving coconuts assesses the caliber's ability to penetrate bone-like material before entering ballistic gel, highlighting the effectiveness and versatility of the 6.5 Creedmoor for various hunting applications.
This video provides an in-depth review and testing of the Kel-Tec KSG bullpup shotgun. The presenter, with apparent expertise in firearms, demonstrates its unique features, including its dual magazine tubes and high capacity. The review covers shooting impressions with various ammunition types, including standard 12-gauge loads, mini shells, and specialized RIP rounds, highlighting the shotgun's performance and reliability.
This video compares the terminal performance of three types of .22LR ammunition fired from a pistol into coconuts: standard round nose, hollow point, and hyper velocity hollow point. The instructor demonstrates that while the round nose and hollow point show moderate penetration and expansion, the hyper velocity hollow point significantly outperforms them, causing more dramatic fragmentation of the coconut. The video highlights the importance of ammunition selection for terminal effects and notes that higher velocity rounds generally offer better performance.
This video from 704 Tactical provides a practical damage test of the Standard Manufacturing Switch-Gun chambered in .22 Magnum. The reviewer, demonstrating expertise in firearm calibers and practical testing, showcases the surprisingly potent performance of this small firearm at extremely close range, using a coconut as a ballistic medium. The assessment highlights the effectiveness of the Switch-Gun for its intended purpose, despite its diminutive size.
This video explores the power and potential self-defense applications of various BB guns and an air rifle. The presenter tests a range of devices, from a classic Daisy Red Ryder to full-auto replicas and a supersonic pellet rifle, against targets like soda cans and coconuts. While BB guns are generally deemed ineffective for self-defense beyond a potential deterrent, the more powerful air rifle shows some promise.
This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the ballistic penetration of coconuts using a Glock 17 (9mm FMJ) and an AR-15 (5.56x45mm NATO). Both firearms, surprisingly, had their rounds stopped by the fourth coconut. The experiment highlights how different mediums can affect projectile performance and includes a brief tutorial on accessing coconut water.
