This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Black Hills Honey Badger .45 ACP ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in firearms testing, evaluates the performance of this solid copper fluted projectile through a heavy clothing barrier. Key findings include consistent penetration and disruption across different barrel lengths, though the instructor notes a desire for higher velocity and energy compared to advertised claims.

This video details a ballistic gel test of the Winchester Ranger .40 S&W RA40180HP 180-grain JHP ammunition. The test includes chronograph readings from short and full-size barrels and examines projectile performance through a heavy clothing barrier. The presenter provides insights into the old-school design's performance in modern testing scenarios.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Hornady Critical Defense .38 Special +P 110gr FTX ammunition, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor. The test details muzzle velocity measurements from 2-inch and 3-inch revolvers, projectile expansion, and penetration depths through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The instructor offers insights into the ammunition's performance and suitability for self-defense scenarios.

This expert-level review details a ballistic gel test of the Winchester Black Talon .357 Magnum 180-grain ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and extensive experience, utilized professional equipment like the LabRadar chronograph and standardized testing protocols. The ammunition showed significant expansion and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier, exceeding expectations for its design.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of Buffalo Bore .40 S&W +P 155 grain JHP ammunition. The instructor conducts velocity tests from both a full-size and compact Glock, analyzes terminal performance through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel, and discusses projectile expansion, penetration, and energy transfer. The ammunition is praised for its high performance, exceeding expectations for the .40 S&W caliber.

This video reviews the Steinel 9MM 124-grain Subcompact HP ammunition through ballistic gel testing. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, evaluates its performance from both a 3.1-inch barrel (Canik MC9) and a 4-inch barrel (Glock 19 Gen 5). While the ammunition demonstrated significant expansion, it fell short of the 12-inch FBI penetration standard, achieving approximately 10.25 inches in testing. The presenter notes the low recoil and potential effectiveness if placed accurately but personally prefers ammunition with greater penetration.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Steinel's 10mm Auto 140-grain solid copper expander ammunition. The test involved firing rounds through a heavy clothing barrier into ballistic gel using a Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Glock 20 (4.6-inch barrel). Velocity measurements were taken using a Lab Radar, and projectile performance in terms of expansion and penetration was meticulously analyzed.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing Federal Punch 9mm (124gr) and .40 S&W (165gr) self-defense ammunition. The test, conducted with a heavy clothing barrier, reveals performance data including velocity, expansion, and penetration. The instructor, with experience in firearms testing, highlights the differences in performance between the two calibers and ammunition types, offering insights into their effectiveness for self-defense.

This video tests Federal Syntech .45 ACP 205-grain segmenting hollow point ammunition through a Glock 30 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Rock Island 1911 (5-inch barrel) using a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The test revealed significant underperformance, with both rounds failing to segment and penetrating nearly the full length of two gel blocks, indicating insufficient velocity for the intended terminal performance.

This video tests PMC SFX 9mm Starfire hollow-point ammunition through ballistic gel with a heavy clothing barrier. Results varied significantly based on barrel length and velocity. The 4.5-inch barrel Glock 17 achieved proper expansion and penetration, while the 3.1-inch barrel Canik MC9 failed to expand due to insufficient velocity, resulting in over-penetration. The instructor notes that while the ammo performed as claimed at higher velocities, its effectiveness is highly dependent on barrel length and velocity.

This expert-level review details the performance of Underwood 155 Grain XTP 10mm ammunition fired from a Glock 20 Gen 4. The test involved ballistic gelatin with heavy clothing and t-shirt barriers, alongside velocity measurements using LabRadar. The ammunition demonstrated exceptional velocity, exceeding advertised claims, and impressive terminal performance with significant expansion and disruption, though penetration was slightly less than the speaker's ideal.

This video compares Super Vel's .380 ACP Pocket Rocket and .38 Special +P Super Snub ammunition through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The .380 demonstrated excellent expansion but insufficient penetration, while the .38 Special achieved adequate penetration but showed questionable expansion, leading to a mixed assessment for both rounds in this specific test scenario.
