Videos tagged with Low Energy Ammunition

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Aguila Colibri .22 LR round, often cited as the world's weakest. Through expert-level ballistics testing, including sound level measurements, velocity readings from both pistol and rifle platforms, and penetration tests on various materials like pine boards and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates the round's extremely low energy output. The analysis highlights its 'Hollywood quiet' decibel levels but concludes that its lethality is significantly reduced compared to standard ammunition, emphasizing the critical need for precise shot placement.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Sellier & Bellot .32 S&W Long 100-grain wadcutter ammunition. The test evaluates projectile performance through a heavy clothing barrier, measuring velocity from both a 2-inch and a 3-inch barrel. The results highlight the ammunition's low energy but surprisingly effective penetration due to its flat-nose design, making it a viable, albeit low-powered, option for self-defense in this caliber.
