Videos tagged with FMJ Ammunition

This video tests the performance of 1-karat diamond-tipped .45 ACP rounds fired from a 1911. The tests included a water jug penetration and a ballistics gelatin test. The diamond-tipped rounds, similar to FMJ, did not exhibit expansion and passed through both water jugs and the gelatin block cleanly, suggesting potential underperformance compared to traditional hollow points in this specific configuration. The presenter questions the effectiveness of .45 ACP hollow points in general based on these results.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test comparing Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Point (SP) ammunition against RMA Armament body armor. The test involves firing both ammunition types into ballistic gel placed behind the armor, with a water jug serving as a penetration indicator. The FMJ round impacted the ceramic plate, fragmenting, while the SP round's performance is observed for its potential to penetrate the armor and the water jug.

This guide details the process of loading and firing the IWI Jericho 941 pistol using Fiocchi Range Dynamics 9mm Luger ammunition. It covers magazine loading with a +2 extension and live fire at steel targets. The demonstration emphasizes competent firearm handling and safe operation practices, as shown by an experienced individual.

This expert guide details a test to determine the precision of shooting through a vehicle windshield. It covers the methodology for testing both hollow point and FMJ ammunition, highlighting the significant deflection observed with hollow points and the improved accuracy with FMJ rounds. The instruction emphasizes safe firearm handling and awareness of potential hazards like glass dust.

This video from Guns Blazing Ranch provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of three .45 ACP ammunition types: FMJ, JHP, and Monolithic rounds. Through ballistic testing against water bottles, the video visually illustrates the distinct terminal performance characteristics of each, highlighting how JHP and Monolithic rounds offer superior expansion and energy transfer compared to FMJ. The demonstration uses a Ruger SR1911 pistol.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert-level penetration test comparing the 9mm and 10mm calibers. Using a Glock 19 with 124gr FMJ and a Glock 20 with 180gr FMJ, the test demonstrates that the 10mm caliber penetrates more wooden boards than the 9mm. The host, Scott, provides clear visuals and direct comparisons, showcasing safe firearm handling and structured testing methodology.

This guide outlines a comprehensive post-purchase protocol for the Glock Gen 6, emphasizing immediate range testing with substantial round counts of both FMJ and carry ammunition. It stresses the importance of consistent dry-fire practice, professional training from reputable instructors, and dedicated range time for familiarization. The advice extends to physical conditioning as a critical component of shooter improvement.

This video showcases a highly flammable 9mm Luger ammunition known as 'Dragon's Breath' for an everyday carry (EDC) experiment. The presenter emphasizes that this is not a recommendation and highlights the extreme fire risk associated with such ammunition, warning against its use in daily carry or in buildings. The demonstration involves loading three rounds into a Glock 19 to illustrate its flammability.

This video provides a practical demonstration and evaluation of 9mm Dragon's Breath ammunition, contrasting its flashy incendiary effect with the practical terminal ballistics of standard hollow points for self-defense. The host, a tactical gear reviewer, highlights its novelty but ultimately concludes it's inferior to hollow points due to over-penetration. It also showcases the 945 Industries Off-Body Carry Bag.

This video demonstrates the extreme flammability of 9mm Dragon's Breath ammunition, highlighting it as a significant fire hazard and unsuitable for self-defense due to its Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) construction. The presenter advises against carrying this type of ammunition for everyday carry (EDC) and shows it being fired from a Glock 19.

This video provides an expert analysis of current ammunition prices, identifying ten calibers that have become significantly cheaper in 2025. The presenter, Ted from Line45, highlights specific price points and availability for calibers like 9mm Luger, 5.56 NATO, .22 LR, and others, encouraging viewers to stock up due to stabilizing supply chains and potential future price increases. The content emphasizes practical advice for shooters looking to maximize range time and training on a budget.

This video from Civilian Tactical provides an educational comparison of .357 Magnum Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Lead Point ammunition. The host, demonstrating expertise in firearms and ballistics, uses a suppressed lever-action rifle on an outdoor range to show the terminal performance differences when impacting a pumpkin. The soft point round clearly demonstrates superior energy transfer and destructive capability compared to the FMJ.
