This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Inceptor ARX ammunition in 9mm Luger and .380 ACP calibers. The test evaluates projectile performance, penetration, and weight retention after passing through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, notes the unique construction of the ARX rounds, which utilize a blend of copper powder and polymer, and assesses their effectiveness as self-defense ammunition.
This video provides an expert-level overview of hollow-point ammunition, tracing its evolution from the 1986 Miami-Dade FBI shootout to modern designs. The speaker, with high authority in firearms and gear review, details the purpose of hollow points, the impact of FBI testing protocols, and the distinction between effective duty loads and 'meme ammo'. Key historical events and product innovations are discussed, emphasizing shot placement over marginal ammo differences.
This video provides a visual comparison of various .45 ACP ammunition types suitable for concealed carry and practice. It highlights specialty rounds like the G2 Research R.I.P. and Federal Hydra-Shok, contrasting them with standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) rounds typically used for range training. The expert emphasizes the distinct purposes of each ammunition type for defensive versus practice scenarios.
This video demonstrates a practical test to determine if Inceptor Preferred Defense ARX .45 Auto 118 grain polymer ammunition will reliably cycle in a 1911 pistol. The expert instructor guides viewers through loading the magazine, chambering a round, and firing multiple shots to confirm functionality. The test concludes with a clear indication of successful cycling, providing valuable data for 1911 owners considering this ammunition type.
This review explores innovative polymer-based ammunition from True Velocity, Inceptor, Slapshot USA, and Sim-X. True Velocity's .308 Winchester offers impressive ballistic consistency with a 25-30% weight reduction. Slapshot USA's TOX 12-gauge slug and Inceptor ARX are designed for home defense with reduced over-penetration. Sim-X 9mm ammunition claims doubled velocity and reduced recoil for faster follow-up shots. While True Velocity excels ballistically, its polymer cases may deter civilian reloaders.
This video features a ballistic gel test comparing Inceptor ARX self-defense ammunition against traditional Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) rounds in .45 ACP. The test is conducted using a Taurus Commander 1911 and includes a heavy clothing barrier to simulate real-world self-defense scenarios. The description also highlights the channel's membership program and provides affiliate links for ear protection and an Amazon storefront.
This video compares the Underwood Extreme Defender and Inceptor ARX 9mm ammunition through gel testing. Both projectiles demonstrated excellent disruption and penetration, achieving similar wound channels and stopping approximately 15-16 inches into the gel block. The Inceptor ARX, a lighter 65-grain projectile, achieved higher velocities (1550 fps average) compared to the 90-grain Underwood Extreme Defender (1268 fps average) when fired from a 3-inch barrel Sig Sauer P365. Despite material and design differences, their performance in gel was deemed comparable for practical purposes.
This video details a ballistic gel test comparing Black Hills Honey Badger and Inceptor ARX .380 ACP ammunition fired from an S&W M&P Shield EZ. It provides chronograph data for both rounds, noting the Honey Badger averaged 1179 FPS and the ARX averaged 1232 FPS. Both projectiles achieved 12.5 inches of penetration in gel, with the ARX tumbling and rebounding slightly, while the Honey Badger did not tumble. No deformation or expansion was observed on either solid projectile.
This guide details a ballistic testing methodology for evaluating home defense ammunition, conducted by a retired US Special Forces veteran. The test simulates real-world scenarios using ballistic gel and drywall to assess stopping power against over-penetration risks. Key findings highlight the superior performance of small-caliber rifle rounds for home defense due to their energy transfer and reduced collateral damage potential.
This video from Gun Talk Media's 'First Person Defender' series, featuring tactical instructors Greg Lapin and Ryan Gresham, details self-defense strategies for ride-sharing scenarios. It covers crucial techniques like the G-Wrap retention grip and Pectoral Index for close-quarters combat, emphasizing situational awareness and the importance of a reactionary gap. The episode also touches on firearm and ammunition choices for personal defense.
This episode of Gun Talk Radio, airing on Father's Day, focuses on the importance of firearms in family traditions and responsible gun ownership. Host Tom Gresham shares personal anecdotes and discusses the positive impact of introducing youngsters to shooting sports, highlighting events like the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League. The show also features discussions on new products from Springfield Armory and Crimson Trace, the efforts of the DC Project advocating for gun rights, and the community's response to platform censorship.
This guide details a ballistic test of lightweight 9mm ammunition, combining Inceptor ARX 65gr frangible bullets with Shell Shock Technologies cases. The test, conducted by Johnny's Reloading Bench, evaluates performance against a Paul Harrell-style meat target using a Glock 43 and measures velocities with a chronograph. The expert demonstrates advanced knowledge of reloading components and ballistic testing methodologies.
