This video debunks the myth that all hollow-point bullets are designed to expand. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb explain that while handgun hollow-points and many hunting rifle hollow-points (like Sierra GameKing) are designed for expansion to increase terminal ballistics, match-grade target hollow-points utilize the cavity for a centered air bubble to improve the ballistic coefficient by reducing air resistance. They also note that hollow-point construction can be easier to manufacture uniformly than solid points, which are more susceptible to damage during handling. The video clearly illustrates that the function of a hollow-point varies based on its intended application.
This YouTube video, titled 'how many apples does it take to stop a bullet?', explores a unique ballistic test. While the title suggests a focus on ammunition penetration, the content is likely to involve testing various calibers against a density material like apples. The description provides links to the creator's website and Instagram, indicating a content creator who likely produces a variety of videos, potentially including firearms-related content. Given the title, the video aims to be an engaging and informative experiment for viewers interested in ballistics and projectile behavior.
