Massad Ayoob and Bill Wilson discuss the distinct design principles and applications of Lehigh Defense's Xtreme Defense and Xtreme Penetrator bullets. The Xtreme Defense prioritizes creating significant temporary and permanent wound cavities for self-defense, aligning with FBI penetration protocols without relying on traditional expansion. Conversely, the Xtreme Penetrator is engineered for hunting, achieving deeper penetration with less massive wound channels. This expert discussion highlights how projectile mechanics directly influence terminal ballistics for specific use cases.

This video provides an in-depth ballistic gel test of various .45 ACP ammunition types, focusing on "most powerful" rounds based on energy and expansion. The instructor meticulously tests rounds from brands like Buffalo Bore, Underwood, Atomic, and Federal Gold Dot, comparing their performance in both synthetic and organic ballistic gelatin. The results highlight differences in expansion, penetration, and wound cavity creation, offering valuable insights for self-defense and tactical applications.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the most powerful .380 ACP ammunition through rigorous ballistic gel testing. The instructor, demonstrating high authority, evaluates rounds like Liberty Civil Defense, Norma MHP, Buffalo Bore +P, and Underwood +P against FBI protocols, including a four-layer denim barrier. Key takeaways highlight the challenges of achieving reliable expansion in .380 ACP through clothing and the differing performance characteristics of various gel mediums.

This video details a comprehensive ballistics gel test for various .38 Special loads fired from a Smith & Wesson 642 snub-nose revolver. The expert instructor analyzes bullet expansion, penetration, and wound channels, offering critical insights into ammunition performance for self-defense. Key takeaways include the importance of bullet design for reliable expansion in short barrels and safety considerations for handloading .38 Special ammunition.

This expert-level review details the ballistic performance of Fort Scott Munitions' 45-70 Gov't T.U.I. 300gr ammunition. The testing, conducted by Iraqveteran8888, includes FBI-spec gel tests with clothing barriers, as well as penetration tests through drywall, watermelons, soda bottles, baffle boards, and milk jugs. The ammunition demonstrated significant energy transfer, a tendency to tumble upon impact (T.U.I. - Tumble Upon Impact), and effective wound channel creation, making it suitable for large North American game.

This video features an independent ballistic test of Fort Scott Munitions' Tumble Upon Impact (T.U.I.) 9mm ammunition, conducted by Iraqveteran8888. The test compares the T.U.I. rounds against established self-defense loads like Federal HST and Hornady Critical Defense, using a CZ SP-01 Phantom and a multi-layer clothing barrier test over Clear Ballistics gel. The expert analysis highlights the unique terminal ballistics of the T.U.I. round, noting its deep penetration and significant wound channel, while also comparing its performance to traditional expanding bullets.

This episode of TGC News covers advancements in ballistic measurement with the MagnetoSpeed chronograph, innovative ammunition designs from Lehigh Defense, and modular firearm accessories from Kinetic Development Group and KeyBar. It highlights the importance of proper firearm education for youth through programs like Project Appleseed and discusses the growing market for machined bullets.

Dave Emy of Hornady discusses their Critical Defense and Critical Duty ammunition lines at SHOT Show 2013. Critical Defense is designed for short, compact handguns and limited penetration through heavy clothing. Critical Duty features a new bullet design with a heavy jacket and interlock band for consistent performance through urban barriers like windshields, drywall, plywood, and steel car doors, achieving 14-16 inches of penetration in gelatin.
