This video introduces the FK Brno PSD Compact pistol, chambered in the powerful 7.5 FK Brno bottleneck cartridge. The presenter highlights its design for high-threat environments, emphasizing its ability to penetrate barriers like car doors and light body armor at extended ranges (up to 100m). The 7.5 FK Brno round is presented as a superior alternative to common pistol calibers for personnel security details facing threats armed with intermediate rifle cartridges.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition using gel block testing. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, causing substantial damage to the test setup. The 7.62x39mm round, while also expanding, showed greater penetration, passing through the gel block and the table. The test highlights the different performance characteristics of these popular calibers in terms of tissue damage and penetration.

This video challenges the common perception of the .22 Short as a weak cartridge, presenting historical context and modern testing data. It highlights the .22 Short's original design for self-defense and its surprising penetration capabilities in ballistic gel, often reaching 8-9 inches. The content emphasizes that its effectiveness should be judged by its intended use in smaller firearms and for specific applications like pest control and small game hunting, rather than direct comparison to larger caliber rounds.

This video discusses the effectiveness of different firearm calibers, particularly in stopping dangerous game. While larger calibers generally offer more power, the speaker argues that precise shot placement, specifically hitting the central nervous system, is paramount for immediate incapacitation. The discussion highlights that bullet diameter differences may be less critical than accuracy when a precise shot is required.

This expert analysis debunks common misconceptions about the .22 Short cartridge, revealing its historical significance as a self-defense round and its surprising modern performance. The .22 Short, often dismissed as weak, demonstrates effective penetration and material destruction capabilities when tested under realistic conditions, challenging its 'plinking only' reputation.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Hornady Critical Defense .38 Special +P 110gr FTX ammunition, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor. The test details muzzle velocity measurements from 2-inch and 3-inch revolvers, projectile expansion, and penetration depths through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The instructor offers insights into the ammunition's performance and suitability for self-defense scenarios.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Winchester Defender .40 S&W 165-grain JHP ammunition. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, evaluates projectile performance from different barrel lengths (Glock 27 and Glock 22) through a clothing barrier. Key metrics like velocity, expansion, and penetration depth are analyzed, offering valuable insights for self-defense ammunition selection.

This video showcases the extreme power of the .375 CheyTac cartridge fired from a Desert Tech HTI rifle. Demonstrations include hitting steel targets at 300 yards, with projectiles impacting watermelons placed in front of the steel. The video highlights the significant impact on both the watermelons and the AR550 steel plate, even when the projectile hits sideways.

This video provides a strategic approach to ammunition stockpiling for SHTF scenarios, focusing on calibers that solve specific problems rather than emotional choices. It emphasizes roles like food acquisition, defense, and reach, highlighting the importance of sustainability, reliability, and adaptability. The content stresses that preparation should be tailored to individual environments and existing skills, rather than following generic advice.

This guide details a comprehensive test protocol for evaluating airgun slugs versus pellets, as demonstrated by the Host of Shooting Gear Reviews. It emphasizes using specialized equipment like a slug barrel, digital scope, and chronograph to analyze terminal ballistics on ballistic clay at various distances. The expert-level analysis highlights the significant advantages slugs offer in penetration and retained energy for hunting larger or tougher game.

This guide details using the Ruger GP100 revolver, specifically the 3-inch barrel variant, as an underrated bear defense option. It emphasizes the critical role of heavy, hard-cast .357 Magnum ammunition like Buffalo Bore 180gr for deep penetration. The instruction highlights practical carry considerations with appropriate holsters and the importance of practicing with potent loads for effective defense against large, dangerous game.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of Underwood's 9mm +P 68 Grain Xtreme Defender ammunition through rigorous ballistic gel testing. The host, demonstrating high authority, uses professional equipment like a LabRadar chronograph to measure velocity and energy transfer across different firearm barrel lengths (Canik Mete MC9 3.1" vs. Glock 17 4.5"). The test simulates real-world conditions with a heavy clothing barrier and provides detailed insights into penetration depth and projectile integrity, concluding that the lightweight round offers consistent performance.
