This video demonstrates the setup and operation of a compact, suppressed break-action survival rifle chambered in 5.7x28mm. It highlights the use of FNH USA ammunition with 40 gr. Hornady V-Max bullets and features the RIX S6 R thermal scope. The demonstration includes live fire at steel targets from a kneeling position, showcasing thermal imaging capabilities.
This YouTube video presents a ballistics gel test comparing the performance of two AR-15 rifle configurations: one with a 10.5-inch barrel and another with a 16-inch barrel. The test utilizes two common ammunition types: the 55-grain M193 FMJ and the 60-grain Hornady V-MAX. The video aims to demonstrate the differences in terminal ballistics and velocity between the two barrel lengths when firing these specific rounds. It provides a visual and analytical comparison for viewers interested in AR-15 performance and ammunition effectiveness.
This video tests Federal's 40-grain .223 V-Max ammunition across various barrel lengths. A 20-inch barrel yielded 3,648 fps, a 16-inch barrel produced 3,417 fps, and a short 7.5-inch barrel resulted in 2,581 fps. The results show a significant velocity drop with shorter barrels, deviating from the advertised 3,800 fps.
This video tests the self-defense effectiveness of the NAA Mini Revolver chambered in .22 Magnum. Using a ham as a ballistic medium, the test revealed significant concussion and muzzle blast. A Hornady 30-grain V-MAX .22 Mag round achieved full penetration through the ham, raising questions about its stopping power for self-defense.
The S&W M&P 22 Magnum requires a break-in period and is highly sensitive to ammunition type and shooter grip. Initial reliability issues were linked to brass shavings and a need for a firm grip to overcome the light slide mass. Hornady 30gr V-MAX proved most reliable, while other ammo types and improper grip led to malfunctions.
This expert review of the Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum by Iraqveteran8888 details its performance with various .22 Magnum ammunition types. The pistol demonstrates high reliability and excellent accuracy, particularly with its 'phenomenal' trigger. While effective on softer targets like soda cans and watermelons, the .22 Magnum caliber's energy proved insufficient for consistently knocking down heavier steel targets, a limitation noted across different ammunition loads.
This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical comparison of .22LR, .17HMR, and .22WMR calibers by testing their terminal ballistics on chickens. The instructor demonstrates the effects of different ammunition types within each caliber, offering insights into penetration, fragmentation, and energy transfer. The analysis highlights how lighter, faster rounds tend to be more explosive, while heavier rounds offer better penetration, making them suitable for different varmint hunting scenarios.

The CZ 457 in .22 WMR proves exceptionally accurate, outperforming expectations for the caliber. The review details its effective range advantage over .22 LR due to maintaining supersonic velocity longer, making it suitable for varmint and small game hunting up to 150 yards. While excellent for woodchucks and raccoons, its suitability for larger coyotes is debated.
This review tests the CZ457 Lux rifle in .22 Magnum with a Vector Tourex 6-24x50 FFP scope. Accuracy tests at 50 and 100 meters were conducted using CCI Maxi-Mag and Hornady V-MAX ammunition. The CZ457 Lux demonstrated good performance, and the Vector Tourex scope was praised for its clear glass, FFP reticle, and reliable turrets, making it a recommended option for precision rimfire shooting.
