This video critically evaluates Winchester Silvertip ammunition, highlighting its failure to expand when encountering a fabric barrier. The presenter demonstrates that under such conditions, the Silvertip performs like a Full Metal Jacket round, negating its intended self-defense purpose. In contrast, Defiant Munitions' copper hollow point is shown to expand reliably even with a fabric barrier.
This video showcases five types of ammunition designed for maximum destructive effect. It demonstrates the dramatic expansion and fragmentation of the Invasive Projectile from a Taurus GX4, the significant recoil and impact of a dual-projectile shotgun round, the power of a .454 Casull from a Taurus Raging Hunter, and the petal-like expansion of Defiant Munitions .45-70 Government rounds. The presenter emphasizes the destructive potential rather than lethality.
This video explores the effectiveness of civilian tactical preparedness, benchmarking shooting performance and projectile damage. It demonstrates a timed draw and accuracy test with a Bodyguard 2.0 in .380 Auto using Defiant Munitions hollow points. Ballistics gelatin comparisons show the .380 Auto's wound cavity is approximately 5% smaller than 9mm.
This video demonstrates a terminal ballistics test of M855 Green Tip 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition fired from a suppressed AR-15. The test involves shooting the projectile into ballistic gel to observe wound channel characteristics, including temporary and permanent cavities. The instructor, demonstrating high authority, notes the ammunition's availability to civilians despite its reduced military adoption in favor of M855A1.
This video explains the function of 'cannelure' on self-defense ammunition. Cannelure is a crimp line that prevents bullet setback, a dangerous condition where the bullet is pushed deeper into the casing due to recoil or chambering. Bullet setback can lead to extreme pressure spikes and catastrophic firearm failures. While adding cannelure increases manufacturing cost and time, it is a crucial safety feature for high-quality self-defense rounds.
This video tests whether thick clothing, specifically a Vertx hoodie, impedes the expansion of hollow-point ammunition. The test involved firing .380 ACP and 9mm rounds into ballistic gelatin through the layered fabric. The results indicate that thick clothing does not prevent hollow-point bullets from expanding effectively.
This video from American Outlaw breaks down three essential types of 9mm ammunition: Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) for practice, Hollow Point for self-defense, and Soft Point for hunting. The instructor emphasizes the importance of choosing the right ammo for the intended purpose, highlighting potential over-penetration issues with FMJ in defensive scenarios and the expansion capabilities of Hollow Points. Safe firearm handling and range etiquette are implicitly demonstrated throughout.
