This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Hydra-Shok .38 Special +P 129 Grain ammunition, evaluating its performance across different handgun barrel lengths (2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch). The test includes chronograph readings and analysis of penetration, expansion, and tumbling within a heavy clothing barrier. The results indicate that while the ammunition achieves good penetration, it consistently fails to expand reliably, particularly from shorter barrels, suggesting a need for higher velocity for optimal performance.
