This video from Tools&Targets tests the performance of two .38 Special hollow-point ammunition types, PPU 158 Grain and Ammo Inc 125 Grain, fired from a Taurus 856 revolver with a 2-inch barrel. The test focuses on expansion and penetration in ballistic gel. The instructor, with experience in firearms testing, notes that neither round achieved significant expansion, attributing this to insufficient velocity from the short barrel. Both rounds demonstrated substantial penetration, exceeding typical defensive needs, but failed to perform as designed regarding expansion.

This video discusses modifying the 'Sledgehammer' training course to increase shooting time and decrease the amount of running involved. The presenters, including PFI Dad and nutnfancy, explore ways to shorten the course while maintaining its effectiveness for firearm testing and shooter performance evaluation. They aim to create a more time-efficient drill that allows for more rounds downrange and better heat cycling of firearms.
