This video introduces SimX ammunition, featuring a proprietary non-Newtonian fluid bullet design. The ammunition is available in 45 ACP, 40 Smith & Wesson, and 9mm, with a focus on its significantly lighter projectile weight and increased velocity compared to traditional ammunition. The presenter highlights potential benefits like reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots, making it an interesting development for shooters and potentially a lead-free alternative for hunting.

This video introduces SimX ammunition, a new development featuring proprietary bullets made with a non-Newtonian fluid core encased in copper. Available in 45 ACP, 40 S&W, and 9mm, these rounds are significantly lighter and faster than traditional ammunition, offering reduced recoil and improved follow-up shot accuracy. The unique composition also presents a potential alternative to lead-based projectiles for hunting or areas with restrictions.

This video introduces SimX ammunition, featuring a proprietary bullet design utilizing a non-Newtonian fluid core encased in copper. This innovative construction results in significantly lighter projectiles compared to traditional lead bullets, even at the same caliber. The ammunition is available in 45 ACP, 40 Smith & Wesson, and 9mm, with a focus on its performance benefits like higher velocity, reduced recoil, and potentially tighter shot groupings. The presenter highlights its suitability for situations where lead ammunition is restricted and its advantage in reducing carrying weight.

This video highlights Pilgrim Ammunition as the preferred carry ammo at Shark Coast Tactical, with all employees and the owner carrying it. The technical explanation focuses on its 50-grain weight and 2000 ft/s velocity, emphasizing its 'zero over penetration' characteristic. The ammunition is designed to penetrate barriers like car doors and 2x4s but then fragment in a unique pattern upon hitting fluid, minimizing risk to bystanders.

This video introduces Shelltech Ammunition's innovative two-piece case technology, featuring an aluminum base and nickel stainless steel alloy cylinder. This design results in casings 50% lighter than brass, offering significant weight savings for shooters. The material composition also contributes to enhanced accuracy, with laboratory testing indicating a 200% improvement. Shelltech offers various loads, including a high-velocity 65-grain copper polymer round.

This video from Shot Show 2025 introduces Shell-Tech Ammunition, a brand under Shellshock Technologies, highlighting their innovative NAS3 two-piece ammunition cases. The cases are made from a nickel-stainless alloy, offering significant weight reduction (up to 25% lighter than brass) and increased strength capable of handling extreme pressures (tested to 85-95,000 PSI). The presentation includes on-range testing of 300 Blackout, 223 Remington, and 9mm Luger ammunition, demonstrating accuracy, gel penetration, and wound cavity effects. The company emphasizes consistency, reduced recoil, and improved accuracy as key benefits of their technology.

This video introduces Federal's new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, designed to deliver magnum performance from short-barreled rifles, especially when suppressed. The key innovation is the patented 'Peak Alloy' steel casing, which allows for higher chamber pressures than traditional brass, enabling increased velocity and performance without excessive recoil. The cartridge offers various bullet weights and types, aiming to compete with established cartridges like the 7mm PRC and 7mm Rem Mag while providing advantages in compactness and weight.

This video discusses the debate between heavy versus light defensive ammunition, with the instructor favoring heavier rounds for their ability to penetrate intermediate barriers and maintain terminal ballistics. The discussion highlights that while light, fast rounds can be deadly, they may fragment or deflect upon hitting barriers, whereas heavier rounds are more reliable in such scenarios. The importance of thorough ammunition research beyond marketing claims is emphasized.

This video provides a detailed ballistics test of Liberty Ammunition's Civil Defense .40 S&W rounds, conducted by a firearms instructor. The testing includes velocity measurements from two Glock pistols (Glock 27 with a 3.5-inch barrel and Glock 22 with a 4.5-inch barrel) and extensive gel block penetration and fragmentation analysis. The instructor notes the ammunition's high velocity, extreme fragmentation, and consistent performance, while also expressing a personal reservation about its lightweight nature for self-defense.

This video reviews True Velocity's polymer-cased rifle ammunition, specifically in .308 Winchester. It highlights the advantages of polymer cases, including reduced weight and potential for tighter tolerances, making it attractive for military applications and hunters. Performance data for hunting and match loads is presented, along with pricing and availability.

This video discusses Gorilla Ammunition's innovative polymer-cased ammunition designed for NATO rounds. A key feature highlighted is a significant 30% weight reduction compared to traditional brass casings, which can offer advantages in logistics and handling. The focus is on the material science and practical implications of this new ammunition technology.

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.
