This video compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition using gel block testing. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, causing substantial damage to the test setup. The 7.62x39mm round, while also expanding, showed greater penetration, passing through the gel block and the table. The test highlights the different performance characteristics of these popular calibers in terms of tissue damage and penetration.

This gel block test compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO M855 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm Tula ammunition. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and tumbling, while the 7.62x39mm round showed similar width expansion but greater length and penetration. The test highlights the distinct terminal effects of these common rifle calibers.

This video tests the Underwood Extreme Penetrator 115-grain Plus P Plus 9mm ammunition through various barriers. The presenter, with experience testing ammunition, demonstrates its performance against paper, wood, water jugs, and ballistic gel. The Extreme Penetrator shows significant penetration capabilities, outperforming a standard Full Metal Jacket in most tests, particularly in water jugs and ballistic gel after passing through glass.

This video tests the 'Macho Gaucho' 12 gauge shotgun shell, featuring two lead projectiles connected by wire. The instructor evaluates its performance through steel target impact, watermelon destruction, and ballistic gel testing. Key findings include surprisingly light recoil, significant impact energy, and impressive penetration, though the projectile's behavior after impact was unexpected.
