This guide details a performance test of the G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm round, moving beyond its internet 'gimmick' reputation. It covers methodology using ballistic gel and a PCC, analyzes penetration and fragmentation data against FBI standards, and explores the potential of barrier-blind fragmenting projectiles, offering insights from an analytical and objective instructor.

This video provides an expert-level performance test of three 9mm defensive rounds from Black Hills Ammunition, including the HoneyBadger, TAC-XP +P, and JHP +P. Instructor Chris Cerino evaluates their performance through simulated heavy clothing and into ballistic gel, adhering to FBI penetration standards. The results offer practical insights into terminal ballistics for self-defense ammunition selection.

This guide details a ballistic gel testing procedure for defensive handgun ammunition, drawing on expert insights from a firearms instructor. It covers setup, execution, and analysis of penetration and expansion, emphasizing adherence to FBI standards. The instructor's experience ensures a thorough and informative approach to evaluating ammunition performance.

This guide details how to set up an AR-15 for home defense, emphasizing practical considerations for close-quarters engagements. It covers essential components from magazines and ammunition to optics and lights, prioritizing reliability and effectiveness. The advice comes from Mrgunsngear, a recognized expert in the firearms community, offering insights on both budget-friendly and high-end options.

This video from TFB TV critically examines Lehigh Defense's 'Extreme' bullet lines, specifically the Extreme Penetrator and Extreme Defender. Host James Reeves, demonstrating high technical authority, uses controlled testing and references FBI standards to assess their real-world effectiveness, particularly concerning penetration and wound cavity creation. While acknowledging the fluted designs create larger temporary stretch cavities, he remains cautiously skeptical about their superiority over traditional defensive rounds for carry purposes, pending more extensive law enforcement data.

This expert analysis, led by an experienced instructor, details the performance of Federal Premium .45 Auto 230gr HST ammunition fired from a short-barrel handgun. The test focuses on expansion capabilities, penetration depth, and weight retention in both bare and clothed ballistic gelatin. The data confirms the HST's effectiveness for defensive use, meeting FBI standards even from a reduced barrel length.

This video from TheYankeeMarshal debunks the common myth of 'stopping power' in firearms, explaining that it's a misinterpretation of physics and effectiveness. The expert instructor emphasizes that true effectiveness relies on penetration, expansion, and critically, shot placement, rather than a caliber's perceived 'knockdown' ability. The content highlights that most common defensive calibers perform similarly if they meet penetration standards and hit vital areas, with psychological factors often playing a larger role in ending a confrontation.

This video features Karl, a retired USSF member, conducting a ballistic gel test comparing 9mm and .300 Blackout ammunition. He demonstrates the terminal performance of each caliber using FBI-standard ballistic gelatin and suppressed firearms, including the Sig Sauer MPX and a Tactical Solutions upper. The analysis highlights the distinct wound channels and energy transfer characteristics of each round, offering insights into their effectiveness for different applications.
