The test demonstrates the destructive capabilities of various firearms, from handguns to large-bore rifles, highlighting the significant energy transfer required to shatter such a dense object. The presenter, Scott, exhibits high-level firearms expertise and a humorous approach to extreme testing.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a direct penetration test comparing 9mm and 10mm calibers. Using standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, the test demonstrates the superior penetration depth of the 10mm cartridge over the 9mm. The host, Scott, provides clear visual evidence and concise results, highlighting the differences in terminal ballistics between these popular handgun rounds.
This entry covers insights from Ted Nugent and Tom Gresham at SHOT Show 2026, focusing on hunting heritage, the 10mm caliber, and field gunsmithing. Nugent expresses a strong preference for the 10mm, highlighting its suitability for various firearms and dismissing recoil concerns. He also details an upcoming Marlin lever-action rifle in 10mm. The discussion includes a practical anecdote about field repair on a Retay shotgun using a Victorinox knife.
This review provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Norma Safeguard 10MM Auto ammunition, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor. The test evaluates terminal performance, including expansion and penetration, using a heavy clothing barrier. While the ammunition demonstrated excellent expansion and penetration within expected self-defense parameters, its velocity and energy levels were noted as being lower than typical for the 10MM Auto caliber, leading to the 'Weak Perfection' assessment.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Hornady Black 10mm 155gr XTP ammunition, conducted by the Tools&Targets host. The test evaluates performance through a heavy clothing barrier using both a Glock 29 (3.8" barrel) and a Glock 20 (4.6" barrel). While the ammunition demonstrated good expansion and weight retention, the measured velocities were significantly lower than advertised, leading to a critical assessment of its true 10mm performance.
This video provides a critical review of Murom Mechanical Large Pistol Primers (KVB-45E), labeling them as 'trash' due to consistent failures during live fire testing. The host, an experienced reloader, demonstrates multiple squib loads and dangerous hangfires when using these Russian-made primers in both Glock and Springfield Armory 10mm firearms. A control test with Remington primers confirmed the Murom primers as the sole cause of the malfunctions, leading to a strong recommendation to avoid them for safety reasons.
