The host discusses specific calibers like .44 Special, .44 Magnum, 10mm, .40 S&W, 9mm, 20 gauge, 12 gauge, and .410 bore, detailing bullet weights, types, and expected performance. Several brands such as Federal, Underwood, Norma, Winchester, and SNB are featured, with the host offering initial impressions and plans for future testing.

This video tests the Norma Monolithic Hollow Point (MHP) 9mm self-defense ammunition fired from longer barrels, specifically a Canik TP9SFx and a Beretta PMXs. The content focuses on ballistic gel testing with heavy clothing to evaluate the ammunition's performance and whether the longer barrel offers any advantage. The creator emphasizes that all shooting is conducted on private property under controlled conditions and clarifies they have no affiliation with the manufacturers.

This YouTube video presents a ballistic gel test of the Norma Monolithic Hollow Point (MHP) ammunition in 10mm caliber. The test aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this ammunition for self-defense purposes, specifically examining its performance through heavy clothing. The video utilizes a Glock 20 and Glock 29 for the testing, providing visual data on penetration and expansion. The content also includes affiliate links for related gear and a channel membership option.

This video explains the function of cannelures on ammunition casings, a feature often found on self-defense rounds. The speaker, identified as the Civilian Tactical Host, highlights that cannelures prevent bullet setback, a dangerous condition where the bullet is pushed deeper into the casing during repeated chambering. Setback can cause extreme pressure spikes and malfunctions. The presence of a cannelure is presented as a mark of higher quality, safer ammunition, with brands like Defiant Munitions being contrasted with others like Norma MHP which may lack this feature.

This YouTube video performs a ballistic gel test on Norma MHP 9mm defensive ammunition, specifically evaluating its performance through denim. The test utilizes a Taurus GX4 and a P80 pistol, demonstrating the penetration and expansion capabilities of the ammunition under simulated defensive conditions. The video aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of this ammunition for self-defense scenarios, particularly when encountering heavy clothing. It emphasizes safe shooting practices conducted on a private range.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio features Daniel Cox, VP of Product Portfolio at Norma/RUAG, discussing Norma's expanded presence and new ammunition lines in the US market. Cox highlights Norma's commitment to quality control across all manufacturing stages, from brass and powder to primers and bullets. He introduces two new self-defense handgun rounds: the MHP (Monolithic Hollow Point), which is cold-formed to pre-imprint expansion properties, and the NXD (Non-Expanding Defensive), which utilizes fluid dynamics for energy transfer without expansion, offering consistent performance and reduced recoil.

This YouTube video features a ballistic gel test of Norma Monolithic .45 Auto ammunition. The test is conducted using two distinct firearms: a full-size Rock Island Armory (RIA) pistol and a compact Colt 1991 A1 pistol. The video aims to evaluate the performance and terminal ballistics of the Norma MHP ammunition in .45 ACP caliber across these different 1911 platforms. The description emphasizes responsible firearm handling and shooting on a private range, explicitly stating no firearms or ammunition are for sale through the video.

Garand Thumb, a recognized subject matter expert in tactical equipment, critically assesses the effectiveness of ballistic face masks. The video details rigorous testing using realistic ballistic dummies and various firearms, from handguns to rifles, to measure projectile stopping power and backface deformation. The conclusion highlights significant risks associated with these masks, primarily due to severe deformation, suggesting they are often 'gimmicky' and less effective than traditional head protection.

This comprehensive test evaluates the terminal ballistics of various 9mm defensive ammunition loads using realistic ballistic gel torsos. The analysis, presented by an expert with high authority in firearms testing, covers military ball, Speer Gold Dot, Federal HST, Hornady Critical Defense, and Norma MHP, detailing their performance against skeletal structures and simulated organs. The findings underscore the effectiveness of modern 9mm defensive rounds when coupled with proper shot placement and training.

This video performs a ballistic gel test comparing two .380 caliber defensive ammunition types: Norma MHP (Monolithic Hollow Point) and Barnes Tac-X PD. The test is conducted using an M&P Performance Center .380 EZ pistol. The description highlights that .380 caliber ammunition can be difficult to find during shortages and emphasizes safe shooting practices on a private range. The creator clarifies they are not affiliated with manufacturers or retailers and do not offer firearms or ammunition for sale.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the most powerful .380 ACP ammunition through rigorous ballistic gel testing.
