This video compares the terminal ballistics of subsonic and supersonic .22 LR ammunition. Testing in ballistic gelatin, with and without a denim barrier, revealed that while supersonic rounds produced a larger wound channel, subsonic rounds demonstrated superior penetration, exceeding the FBI's 12-inch requirement. The instructor concludes that subsonic ammunition is not necessarily less lethal.

This video explores the physics and performance of fluted projectiles, often referred to as External Hollow Points (EHPs), comparing them to traditional hollow points. The presenter details the Venturi effect and hydraulic jump principles theorized to explain their performance without relying on expansion. Personal ballistic gel testing, following FBI barrier test protocols, is presented to demonstrate their consistency through barriers and potential for increased tissue damage.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test of Speer Gold Dot 9mm ammunition, comparing its performance with and without a "heavy clothing" barrier, simulating the FBI protocol. The content creator explores whether these rounds are still available during an "ammo shortage." The video emphasizes safe shooting practices on a private range and clarifies that no firearms or ammunition are for sale. An Amazon affiliate storefront link is provided.

This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test of the Hornady Critical Duty 40 S&W 175gr JHP ammunition. The test, conducted using a compensated Glock 22C, reveals the bullet's performance in terms of expansion, penetration, and retained weight. The instructor notes the ammunition's design for FBI barrier tests and discusses its velocity and energy output.

This video highlights new ammunition offerings from Hornady. Key introductions include the Heavy Bag Turkey load for turkey hunting, available in various shot sizes and shell lengths, and the Critical Duty line for personal defense and law enforcement, designed to meet FBI barrier testing protocols. The Critical Duty line is offered in 9mm, 9mm +P, and .40 S&W.
