This guide details a ballistic gel test comparing the penetration of 9mm FMJ Flat Nose versus Round Nose projectiles. The test, conducted by an experienced instructor, utilizes a P80 pistol and a chronograph to measure velocities and penetration depths in ballistic gel. The results indicate that flat nose FMJ bullets achieve greater penetration than round nose FMJ bullets, exiting the gel blocks and impacting a log behind the setup.

This video investigates whether the nose shape of a .380 FMJ bullet impacts its penetration distance. Using a Smith & Wesson M&P Performance Center Shield EZ, the test explores the practical implications of different FMJ bullet designs, particularly in the context of ammunition shortages. The creator emphasizes that all testing is conducted safely on a private range and is not affiliated with any retailers or manufacturers. They also note that no firearms or ammunition are being sold through the video or its description.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Federal Punch 29-grain flat nose ammunition against CCI Stinger 32-grain hollow point ammunition fired from a Ruger 10/22 Carbine at 40 yards. The test reveals significant differences in penetration and projectile performance, with the Federal Punch demonstrating nearly double the penetration of the CCI Stinger.
