This video presents a terminal ballistic test of Allegiance Ammunition's 5.56mm 80gr Hog Strike rounds. Using a high-speed camera and 10% calibrated ordnance gelatin, the test evaluates the projectile's performance, including penetration depth (8.2 inches), retained weight (11.2 grains), and expansion characteristics (0" neck, 3" x 8" TSC). The velocities recorded averaged 2,255 fps with a low standard deviation, indicating consistent performance. The content is presented as an educational resource focusing on the technical aspects of ammunition.

This video from Lucky Gunner Ammo features experts from Federal Ammunition discussing the science behind ballistics gel and debunking common caliber arguments. It highlights how gel mimics human tissue for testing ammunition performance, emphasizing that bullet design and shooter accuracy are more critical than caliber for self-defense effectiveness. The content provides an objective, data-driven look at terminal ballistics.

This video tests the effectiveness of budget-friendly Fiocchi 55gr PSP .223 Remington ammunition for defensive use. Fired from a 10.5" 1:7" twist upper, the ammo is put through a calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin test to evaluate penetration, expansion, fragmentation, and retained weight. Key metrics like penetration depth (11.5"), retained weight (39.3gr), and expansion diameter are presented alongside velocity data. The video aims to determine if cheaper ammunition can be 'good enough' for critical applications.

This video showcases a gel test of Black Hills' 5.56mm Optimized 50gr TSX ammunition fired from a 10.5" AR-15 with a 1:7" twist barrel. The test aims to assess the ammunition's performance, specifically addressing speculation about its effectiveness from short barrels. High-speed camera footage captures the projectile's penetration, retained weight, and expansion in calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin, with detailed ballistic data presented. The video also provides links to the discussion thread on ARFCOM and aims to follow on social media.

This video presents a high-speed camera analysis of the terminal performance of Hornady Custom 123gr SST ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel. The test involves firing the rounds into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin from a 12-inch AR-15 platform. Detailed metrics on penetration depth, retained projectile weight, and expansion diameter are provided. The video also includes velocity data from multiple shots, highlighting average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation. Links for Aimed Research's services, an Arfcom discussion thread, and social media channels are included.

This video tests the performance of Lehigh's 62gr Controlled Chaos ammunition, loaded by Gorilla, fired from a 10.5" AR-15 into calibrated ordnance gelatin. The test aims to determine if Lehigh products, often perceived as gimmicky, live up to their reputation. Results include penetration depth, retained weight, and velocity data, with a focus on ballistic performance. The description also provides contact information for ballistic testing services and social media links.

This video analyzes the terminal ballistics of CCI 32gr Stinger .22LR ammunition when fired from a Ruger Mk II pistol. The test involves shooting the ammunition into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin, both bare and through heavy clothing, to assess penetration, retained weight, and expansion. The video aims to determine if .22LR can be a viable option for self-defense, and if so, which ammunition performs best. Velocity data is also provided.

This video features a terminal performance test of TulAmmo .308 Win 165gr Soft Point ammunition fired from a Springfield Armory M1A. The test involves shooting into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin to evaluate penetration, retained weight, and expansion metrics. The data includes specific measurements for penetration depth (22.9"), retained weight (150.0gr), and expansion ranges (0.723" max, 0.561" min). Velocities are also provided, with an average of 2,449 fps. The video aims to assess the suitability of this ammunition for defensive purposes.

This video explains the purpose and interpretation of ballistic gel tests, emphasizing that gel appearance doesn't directly mimic tissue wounds but provides empirical data. Key metrics include penetration, expansion, fragmentation, and retained weight, which correlate with actual wound effects. The speaker, Andrew from The Chopping Block, highlights that while gel tears more easily than tissue, the size of the temporary stretch cavity is significant for rifle velocities.

This video from Iraqveteran8888, featuring an expert assessment from Eric, delves into the long-range effectiveness of 9mm Luger ammunition. It tests the expansion capabilities of Federal HST 124gr JHP rounds at an impressive 440 yards, comparing results to a close-range baseline. The findings suggest 9mm remains a viable defense option even at extended distances.
