This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO ammunition, specifically XM193 FMJ and green tip variants, through clay media. The testing reveals that even after hitting the same point of impact as a .30-06 round, the 5.56 NATO rounds did not achieve full pass-through, with clay particles falling out from the green tip round.

This video provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of 9mm FMJ versus R.I.P. ammunition performance. Utilizing a Sig Sauer M17 and slow-motion videography, the test shows the distinct impact characteristics of each round on a clay block. The R.I.P. round exhibits a significantly more destructive and fragmenting effect compared to the standard FMJ.

This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles by drilling into FMJ bullets. The experiment, conducted at Clay Lake, compares the impact of a standard FMJ against a modified hollow point in a clay target. The results show a significantly larger impact crater from the drilled hollow point, suggesting increased expansion. The speaker, wearing Leupold sunglasses, indicates a potential for accuracy testing next.

This guide details a DIY method for creating hollow point bullets from FMJ projectiles using a common power drill. The video demonstrates the process and compares the terminal ballistics of a modified FMJ against a standard FMJ in a mud lake test. The results showed a significantly larger cavity from the DIY hollow point, surprising the presenter. The video suggests further accuracy testing. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual with clear expertise in ammunition types and reloading.

This video from Line45 provides an expert-level analysis of current ammunition prices, identifying 10 calibers that have seen significant price drops. The instructor, Ted, details specific deals and market trends for 2025, advising viewers on when and how to stock up on affordable ammunition for various firearms. The content emphasizes practical advice for shooters looking to maximize their range time and preparedness.

This guide details the process of reloading 10mm ammunition, focusing on 180-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets. It covers bullet selection, powder choice (Hodgdon Longshot), and safe load data considerations based on manufacturer recommendations. The instructions emphasize using FMJ bullets for specific firearms like the 10mm Carry Comp and provide a methodical approach to testing and production reloading. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual familiar with reloading data and firearm function.

This entry synthesizes information from a "State of the World - Urgent Report" video, focusing on the SIG Sauer P211 firearm and IAAC ammunition. The speaker, exhibiting an authoritative and experienced tone, discusses geopolitical events, economic instability in the US, and touches upon military build-ups. The visual evidence highlights the SIG Sauer P211 and IAAC 9mm Luger 115 Grain FMJ ammunition, alongside recurring tactical patches. The content blends current affairs analysis with specific firearm and ammunition details.

This video from GUNBROS discusses ammunition stockpiling strategies, advising against overly specialized calibers like 17 HMR for general use. The presenter suggests focusing on versatile rounds such as 9mm FMJ and hollow points, Federal HST, and standard Gold Dot, which are widely accepted, hold value, and store well. The core message emphasizes practicality and broad usability over niche calibers for long-term preparedness.

This video provides a comprehensive 9mm velocity test across four different barrel lengths (3.38", 4.5", 7.5", 10.5") using various firearms including the Taurus GX4, Glock 17, BCA BC9, and PSA AK-V. The expert analysis highlights how barrel length significantly impacts projectile velocity and energy with different ammunition types, from standard FMJ to +P defensive rounds and lightweight, high-velocity options. The data collected using a chronograph offers valuable insights for understanding terminal ballistics and optimal firearm/ammunition pairings.

This video from Exile Armory in Weaver, AL, features a staged arrest skit to promote a giveaway. It highlights Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ ammunition, priced at $240 per 1000 rounds, and showcases the store's extensive inventory. The skit serves as a humorous lead-in to an upcoming promotional event.

This video provides an expert-level ballistics test of the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, specifically addressing the claim that it could stop within a human neck. The speaker, demonstrating high expertise in practical firearms testing, uses an anatomically correct dummy to simulate impacts. The tests conclusively show that both FMJ and Ballistic Tip .30-06 rounds possess extreme penetration capabilities, shattering bone and passing through multiple barriers, making the 'stopped in neck' narrative highly improbable.

This video demonstrates a direct comparison between two .357 Magnum ammunition types: Soft Lead Point and Full Metal Jacket (FMJ). A test firing into a pumpkin reveals that the Soft Lead Point round causes significantly more energy transfer and destructive impact, completely obliterating the target, while the FMJ round passes through with minimal damage. The speaker highlights the substantial difference in energy transfer and recommends considering these performance variations for specific applications.
