This video tests Federal Train and Protect 10mm Auto ammunition with 180-grain Versatile HP projectiles using ballistic gel. Despite initial concerns about low advertised velocities and previous mixed results, the ammunition demonstrated surprisingly effective expansion and penetration in ballistic gel tests, performing comparably to .40 S&W rounds. The presenter emphasizes that while the performance was good, the velocities are still considered weak for the 10mm caliber, suggesting it might be better suited for other platforms if higher performance is desired.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Federal Train and Protect 380 ACP ammunition featuring the Versatile HP projectile. The test compares performance from two different barrel lengths: a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 (2.75-inch barrel) and a Performance Center M&P EZ (3.8-inch barrel). The instructor, with experience testing this ammunition in other calibers, evaluates muzzle velocity, projectile expansion, and penetration depth through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel.

This video reviews the top 10 9mm ammunition options for self-defense, covering both practice and duty rounds. It highlights brands like Magtech, Remington UMC, Fiocchi, CCI Blazer Brass, Federal, Winchester, Hornady, and Speer, detailing their grain weights, price points, and specific features relevant to self-defense effectiveness and training.

This video details a destructive testing of a Taplock smart padlock, subjecting it to various firearm calibers from .22LR up to .50 AE and 12 gauge slugs. The test aimed to determine the lock's resilience against ballistic impacts, evaluating its ability to remain functional or intact after being shot. While the lock's smart features like fingerprint and Bluetooth unlock cease to function when electronics are destroyed, the physical integrity of the lock was surprisingly robust against smaller calibers.
