Videos tagged with Duty Ammunition

This video emphasizes immediate preparedness for military-aged males, urging them to train rigorously due to perceived geopolitical instability and domestic threats. Key action items include consistent dry-fire practice with pistols and rifles, ensuring vehicles are fueled, weapon lights and optics have fresh batteries, and stockpiling three months of food and water per person. The speaker stresses the importance of having pre-planned exfiltration routes and a trained community network.

This video details a ballistic gel test of the Winchester Ranger .40 S&W RA40180HP 180-grain JHP ammunition. The test includes chronograph readings from short and full-size barrels and examines projectile performance through a heavy clothing barrier. The presenter provides insights into the old-school design's performance in modern testing scenarios.

This guide, presented by American Outlaw, details an experienced instructor's strategy for magazine management and logistics. It covers personal carry recommendations, bulk storage solutions, and tactical distribution methods for team scenarios, emphasizing preparedness with a minimum of 30 loaded magazines for emergencies.

This video details the firearms and ammunition commonly used by ICE agents. The standard sidearm is the Sig Sauer P320C in 9mm, with a contract extending through 2027. For duty ammunition, agents utilize Speer Gold Dot 124 grain jacketed hollow point rounds. The video also mentions M4 carbines and Remington 870 shotguns as other potential firearms.

This Q&A session from Trench Grenade covers a range of firearms-related topics, including handgun carry options, ammunition performance, rifle building, and preparedness gear. The instructor, drawing on his military background and extensive firearms testing experience, emphasizes practical application, reliability, and the importance of mindset. He discusses specific firearm models, ammunition types like 77-grain OTM and M855A1, and essential EDC items, offering advice on how to approach training and gear selection for various scenarios.

This episode debunks the myth that all police officers are expert marksmen, revealing that many fall into the 'adequate' 80% category, with a significant portion lacking proficiency. The discussion highlights how minimal qualification standards, infrequent practice, and poor maintenance lead to critical failures, emphasizing that being a police officer does not automatically equate to firearms expertise. It stresses the importance of continuous training and diligent firearm maintenance for both law enforcement and civilian concealed carriers to ensure readiness and safety.

This video provides a 'reality check' on preparedness, emphasizing mental and physical fitness as foundational. It details optimal tactical gear setup, including a slick plate carrier with specific magazine placement, a well-organized battle belt with retention devices, and recommendations for rifle barrel lengths (14.5" unsuppressed or 11.5" suppressed). The instructor stresses the importance of using appropriate duty ammunition and zeroing firearms for specific engagement distances.

This video provides expert recommendations for stocking 9mm ammunition in 2025, focusing on defensive, duty, and competition applications. Ted from Line45 details five specific loads, highlighting their performance characteristics, terminal ballistics, and suitability for various handguns and scenarios. The recommendations emphasize stopping power, penetration, controlled expansion, and reliability, with specific attention paid to barrier performance and low-light conditions.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of recommended and discouraged ammunition choices for concealed carry, focusing on 9mm. The instructor emphasizes the critical importance of testing ammunition in your specific firearm to ensure reliability. Key recommendations include Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot for their feeding reliability and consistent performance, while cautioning against steel case, Turkish-made, and certain AAC and Sig V-Crown loads due to potential stoppages and inconsistencies.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of testing carry and duty ammunition in your specific firearm to ensure reliable cycling and consistent point of impact. The speaker, identifying as an 'average hollow point drama enjoyer,' stresses that ammunition performance is firearm-dependent and that simply assuming an ammunition type will work is a dangerous oversight. Testing approximately 100 rounds of your chosen carry ammunition is recommended to confirm functionality and check for significant point of impact shifts compared to range ammunition.

This video argues that longer barrels, specifically 18-20 inches, are superior for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition in WROL (When the Rule of Law is Gone) scenarios. The speaker, identifying as an average 20-inch rifle enjoyer and drill sergeant, emphasizes that velocity is critical for 5.56's lethality, and shorter barrels like those on AR pistols (e.g., 10.5-inch Mark 18s) fail to achieve sufficient velocity with common 55-grain ammunition. This results in poor terminal ballistics unless precise vital hits are made. A longer barrel maximizes velocity, leading to better performance and more forgiving shot placement.

This video focuses on the practical application of firearm ammunition, specifically advocating for the expenditure required to test hollow-point rounds. While the exact firearms or calibers are not detailed in the provided information, the core theme revolves around the effectiveness and reliability of hollow-point ammunition, likely through a comparative testing or performance analysis. The content suggests an emphasis on self-defense or duty applications where ammunition performance is critical.
