Videos tagged with Handgun Velocity

This video explores the impact of barrel length on pistol velocity, specifically referencing the 9mm caliber and popular handgun models like the Sig Sauer P365 and Glock 19. The title suggests a discussion about whether barrel length is a significant factor in firearm performance, posing the question "Does size matter?" for pistols.

This video reviews AR500 Target Solutions' steel targets, highlighting their durability and value. The presenter tests 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch thick targets with various calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56/.223, AK-47, and .308, often at closer distances than recommended. The targets demonstrate excellent resilience, with minimal dimpling or deformation even when exceeding recommended parameters, making them a highly recommended option for shooting enthusiasts.

This video explains the purpose and interpretation of ballistic gel tests, emphasizing that gel appearance doesn't directly mimic tissue wounds but provides empirical data. Key metrics include penetration, expansion, fragmentation, and retained weight, which correlate with actual wound effects. The speaker, Andrew from The Chopping Block, highlights that while gel tears more easily than tissue, the size of the temporary stretch cavity is significant for rifle velocities.
