CajunBoyJake, demonstrating high authority and an objective tone, experimentally tests the common myth of revolvers blasting shrapnel from the cylinder gap. The guide details a methodical approach using various revolvers and ammunition types, including .22 Magnum, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum rounds, to determine if fragments escape. The testing concluded that only unburnt powder residue was observed, not dangerous shrapnel.

This video addresses accuracy issues experienced with the BUL Armory Tac Pro ported model, identifying plated ammunition as the primary cause due to potential disintegration and fouling in ported barrels. The presenter, Roger Barrera of QVO Tactical, details his experience working with BUL Armory to diagnose the problem, emphasizing the importance of using fully jacketed ammunition with ported firearms. The video also includes accuracy testing with various jacketed ammunition types and a comparison of velocity between ported and non-ported barrels.

This video discusses the suitability of Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) rounds for self-defense, directly contrasting them with Hollow Point (HP) rounds. The creator expresses a strong opinion against using FMJ for personal protection, aiming to educate viewers on the reasons behind this recommendation. The video offers a brief comparison of the two ammunition types.

This video tests the performance of bare lead, coated lead, and jacketed bullets through a Glock Gen 5's marksman barrel. The instructor found that the Gen 5 barrel handled bare lead bullets surprisingly well with minimal leading, performing better than previous Glock generations. While coated bullets are still recommended for ease of use and reduced lead exposure, the Gen 5 barrel shows promise for lead projectile compatibility.

This ballistic gel test compares Super Vel 9mm +P 115-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) and Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) ammunition. While both rounds expanded well, the SCHP demonstrated superior penetration and a more consistent wound channel. The JHP achieved 10.25-10.375 inches of penetration, while the SCHP reached 13 inches. Both projectiles expanded significantly, with the JHP measuring 5/8 inch and the SCHP measuring 3/4 inch in diameter.
