Videos tagged with High Velocity Ammunition

This video reviews SIM-X ammunition, highlighting its proprietary non-Newtonian fluid-filled bullet technology. The ammunition offers significantly higher velocities and reduced recoil compared to traditional loads, leading to faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy. It also serves as a lead-free option for hunting in restricted areas. The review is presented by someone working in a firearms store, demonstrating practical knowledge of ammunition.

This video from 1ShotTV provides an expert-level assessment of the .308 SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) round's capabilities. Demonstrating extreme armor-piercing potential, the SLAP round, featuring a tungsten penetrator within a sabot, achieved a velocity of 4070 fps. It effortlessly defeated a Level 3 riot shield and a hardened AR500 steel plate, showcasing its effectiveness against hard barriers. The host, exhibiting high authority through practical testing and technical knowledge, highlights the round's dangerous nature and high cost.

This video introduces the DoubleTap SnakeShot Magnum ammunition line, presented at SHOT Show 2026. It highlights the ammunition's enhanced performance beyond typical snake shot, featuring high velocities (1200+ fps) and significant penetration (16-24 inches) due to a hard-cast wadcutter. Available in powerful calibers like .357 Magnum up to .500 S&W, it's positioned as a versatile 'multi-tool' for backcountry defense against various threats, including large predators.

This video provides an in-depth ballistics test of the rare Remington .30-06 Accelerator round, featuring a sabot-fired 55-grain .22 caliber projectile. The expert demonstrates its extremely high velocity (tested at over 3800 fps) and its unique terminal effect, causing rapid fragmentation and energy dump with no exit wound on soft tissue. While the ballistics match the 'no exit wound' scenario discussed, the round's impracticality for long-range accuracy makes it an unlikely candidate for the hypothetical assassination.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Liberty Ammunition's 9mm SPIKE self-defense round. The test, conducted by an experienced firearms tester, utilizes professional equipment like a LabRadar chronograph and standardized gel blocks with heavy clothing barriers. The SPIKE round demonstrated impressive velocity from both short (Canik Mete MC9) and long (Ruger PC Charger) barrels, leading to significant temporary cavity formation and fragmentation upon impact, with penetration depths around 14.5 inches.

This review by Boondock Ballistician critically examines SimX DefenseCore ammunition, highlighting its high advertised velocity but poor terminal ballistics. Testing revealed insufficient penetration (5-6 inches in gel) and a tendency for the jacket to collapse, failing to meet self-defense standards. The analysis concludes the round is a gimmick, lacking the mass and structure for effective performance despite its speed.

This video provides a first look at Federal Ammunition's new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, featuring innovative Peak Alloy case technology. This technology allows for significantly higher chamber pressures (80,000 psi) and increased velocities (3,000 fps) with 170-grain bullets from 20-inch barrels. The Guns & Ammo team tested the new round in Africa on safari, utilizing a Gunwerks Clymer rifle equipped with a Silencer Central Banish suppressor. The content includes insights into the development of the cartridge and answers to frequently asked questions from subscribers, featuring key personnel from Guns & Ammo and Federal Ammunition.

This video provides a step-by-step guide on installing a KIDD charging handle and spring kit for the Ruger 10/22 or BRN-22 platform. It details the components of the kit, including the precision guide rod, non-captured charging handle, and three different tension springs (white for standard, red for high-velocity, and green for subsonic ammunition). The tutorial covers the entire installation process, from securing the receiver to final assembly and testing, offering valuable tips for choosing the appropriate spring and performing future spring changes. The focus is on ensuring smooth rifle operation with various ammunition types.

This review by Guy Joubert from Team Wilson Combat details the impressive terminal ballistics of the Lehigh Defense 32-grain Controlled Chaos bullet fired from a 16-inch 5.56 rifle. The projectile achieved approximately 4000 FPS, demonstrating significant temporary cavity expansion and retaining 99% of its mass with no exit wound in a gel block. This makes it a compelling option for self-defense and small game hunting due to its lack of over-penetration.

This video tests the M948 SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) 7.62x51mm ammunition using a custom Arisaka rifle. Despite its design for high velocity (4000-4300 FPS) with a tungsten penetrator, aged 1985 and 1990 production rounds failed to penetrate AR450 steel plates. The likely cause is degradation of the polymer sabot over time, leading to instability and loss of armor-piercing effectiveness.
