This test evaluates the Hornady 75gr BTHP match bullet for self-defense applications using a ballistic gelatin medium. Fired from a 10.5-inch AR-15, the bullet achieved 15.4 inches of penetration and exhibited significant fragmentation, creating a large temporary stretch cavity. While its performance was deemed 'devastating,' its potential lack of barrier penetration, common in match bullets, is discussed as a double-edged sword for home defense.
This test evaluates the Martini Henry rifle's long-range capability at 600 yards using a custom 600gr cast lead bullet and Swiss 2F black powder. Despite a low hit rate (3 hits in 60 rounds), the rifle demonstrated significant impact energy over 1000 ft-lbs at distance. The experiment highlighted the challenges of using primitive iron sights and managing black powder fouling for accuracy at extreme ranges.
This video offers a close-up look at the Ed Brown Kobra Carry pistol, demonstrating its ability to empty a magazine rapidly.
