This video details a ballistic gelatin test of three different .38 Special ammunition types (Winchester Silver Tip, Remington HTP, and Corbon) fired from a 6-inch barrel. The test includes both bare gelatin and four layers of denim to simulate different scenarios. The presenter meticulously records penetration depth, retained weight, and expanded diameter, offering insights into how barrel length and ammunition type affect terminal ballistics.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Federal Train and Protect 380 ACP ammunition featuring the Versatile HP projectile. The test compares performance from two different barrel lengths: a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 (2.75-inch barrel) and a Performance Center M&P EZ (3.8-inch barrel). The instructor, with experience testing this ammunition in other calibers, evaluates muzzle velocity, projectile expansion, and penetration depth through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel.
