This video from Banana Ballistics tests the penetration capabilities of various 9mm self-defense rounds through interior drywall. It compares the performance of FMJ, frangible, and several hollow-point bullet designs, including Federal HST, Hornady XTP, Speer Gold Dot, and others, to determine which rounds offer the least wall penetration in a miss scenario and optimal expansion when hitting a target. The testing highlights the importance of bullet design for self-defense effectiveness.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of Federal 9BPLE +P+ 115 Grain 9mm ammunition. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms testing, conducts velocity measurements from two different barrel lengths (Canik METE MC9 with 3.1-inch barrel and Glock 17 with 4.5-inch barrel) and analyzes projectile performance in ballistic gel, focusing on expansion and penetration. The results are compared, offering insights into the ammunition's effectiveness.
