This video explores the terminal ballistics of 9x19mm ammunition by firing rounds into a catalog. The experiment compares a full metal jacket (FMJ) round with a lead-core bullet to a pure lead bullet with an antimony core. The results demonstrate the penetration capabilities of 9mm rounds through paper and the deformation characteristics of different bullet types upon impact with a hard surface.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Scorpion 10mm 180 Grain JHP ammunition, comparing its performance from a Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Glock 20 (4.6-inch barrel). The instructor, Tools&Targets, critiques the ammunition's claimed velocity and energy, deeming it "weak 10mm" compared to premium loads. Despite this, the gel test shows good expansion and penetration from both firearms, with the Glock 20 achieving slightly better results.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a .357 Magnum round fired from a 12-gauge shotgun using a sabot. The test involves shooting through water and ballistic gel to assess energy transfer and wound cavity creation. The results highlight significant energy transfer and the destructive potential of the sabot-fired projectile.

This video tests the performance of a "9mm most energetic" ammunition, identified by its blue tip and commercially available from Hicory Flatbors. Fired from a Daria Arms DY9Z pistol, the ammunition demonstrated significant energy transfer upon impact with both soft earth and a tree stump, causing a large crater in the soil and causing the stump to "explode" rather than penetrate deeply. The test highlights the potential destructive capability of this specific ammunition.

This video tests the effectiveness and accuracy of double-slug shotgun ammunition. It demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the slugs in ballistic gel and assesses their grouping at a distance, revealing significant spread. The test highlights the projectile deformation upon impact.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of a double slug shell, featuring two stacked lead slugs in a single 12-gauge cartridge. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts tests using ballistics gel and water targets to assess lethality and energy transfer, recovering a completely flattened slug. Accuracy is evaluated at 35 yards, showing a relatively tight grouping for a multi-projectile load. The testing methodology includes proper range safety and clear explanations of ballistics principles.

This video tests shotgun shells loaded with ceramic spheres, comparing their performance to traditional lead shot. The demonstration includes shooting a milk jug for energy transfer and ballistic gelatin for penetration and lethality. The results suggest ceramic spheres disperse rapidly but exhibit similar penetration depth to lead, with potential implications for reduced lethality in some scenarios.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the performance of experimental ceramic BB shotgun shells. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts a thorough test using a semi-automatic 12 Gauge shotgun and various targets including ballistics gelatin. The analysis reveals interesting data on penetration and spread, offering an informative look at this unique ammunition type.

This video from Civilian Tactical provides an educational comparison of .357 Magnum Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Lead Point ammunition. The host, demonstrating expertise in firearms and ballistics, uses a suppressed lever-action rifle on an outdoor range to show the terminal performance differences when impacting a pumpkin. The soft point round clearly demonstrates superior energy transfer and destructive capability compared to the FMJ.

This video provides a critical review and ballistic gel test of Hornady's new 10mm LeverEvolution ammunition, featuring a 150-grain FTX projectile. The instructor, Tools&Targets, expresses significant disappointment with the observed muzzle velocities and terminal performance, deeming the ammunition unsuitable for self-defense or serious use in 10mm firearms. The review highlights inconsistencies in performance between different barrel lengths and questions the product's value proposition.

This video features a detailed comparison between a TenPoint Titan 400 crossbow and an 8.6 Blackout subsonic rifle, assessing lethality and noise. The expert host, from Banana Ballistics, utilizes specialized equipment and testing methodologies, including water jug and ballistic gel tests, to analyze projectile performance. The 8.6 Blackout demonstrates superior energy transfer and penetration, particularly with expanding and fracturing rounds, despite both platforms achieving similar low decibel readings when suppressed.
