This video presents a ballistic gel test of Black Hills Ammunition's 155-grain JHP .40 S&W self-defense rounds. The instructor, with apparent experience in firearms testing, evaluates performance from both a Glock 27 (3.5-inch barrel) and a Glock 22 (4.5-inch barrel). While not top-tier, the ammunition demonstrated adequate expansion and penetration, particularly from the longer barrel, suggesting it's a viable option for concealed carry or self-defense.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Black Hills Honey Badger .45 ACP ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in firearms testing, evaluates the performance of this solid copper fluted projectile through a heavy clothing barrier. Key findings include consistent penetration and disruption across different barrel lengths, though the instructor notes a desire for higher velocity and energy compared to advertised claims.

This video provides a detailed comparison of several 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition types used by the US Navy, focusing on their terminal ballistics and penetration capabilities. The Mark 255 Mod 1, featuring a compressed copper polymer core, is highlighted for its rapid fragmentation and potential for large wound channels, while the M855A1 is noted for its extreme penetration. The M855 Green Tip and Mark 262 Mod 1 are also tested for comparison.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Corbon Glaser Powerball .38 Super ammunition, featuring both 115-grain and 100-grain variants. The test includes a heavy clothing barrier and chronograph readings, demonstrating impressive velocity, expansion, and penetration. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, highlights the ammunition's performance and reliability, despite minor firearm-related hiccups.

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the 7mm-08 Remington cartridge, pushing it to its limits through ballistics gel testing at 400 and 600 yards. The presenter compares its performance against popular cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, and .280 Ackley Improved, concluding it's a highly capable and often underestimated hunting round. A review of the Fierce Mini Rogue 2.0 rifle chambered in 7mm-08 is also included, highlighting its features but noting accuracy concerns.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic gel test of Seismic Ammo Quakemaker +M 9mm ammunition, conducted by an experienced instructor. The test evaluates the ammunition's performance through a clothing barrier, measuring velocity, penetration, and projectile expansion using firearms like the Ruger PC Charger and HK SP5. The instructor provides a critical analysis of the results, comparing them to self-defense expectations.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an actual helicopter blade against a wide array of calibers, from .50 BMG down to .22 LR. The host, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, systematically fires various firearms at the blade, documenting penetration and stopping power. The results reveal that while larger calibers like .50 BMG and .416 Rigby easily penetrate the blade, smaller pistol calibers and even some rifle rounds can be stopped by certain sections, particularly the thicker base. The experiment concludes by revealing the blade is surprisingly hollow in its core structure.

This video tests various popular brush gun calibers (.30-30, .44 Magnum, .450 Bushmaster, .45-70, .500 S&W Magnum) and a 12-gauge shotgun slug against a ballistic bear head, simulating shooting through thick brush. The tests evaluate projectile penetration and effectiveness in vegetation. The speaker, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, provides practical insights into which calibers perform best in dense environments.

This video challenges the common perception of the .22 Short cartridge, presenting it not just as a plinking round but as a historically significant self-defense and competition cartridge. Expert instruction highlights its surprising penetration capabilities, historical use in conflicts like the Civil War, and its suitability for specific modern roles such as pest control and training new, recoil-sensitive shooters. The content emphasizes that modern judgment of the .22 Short is often based on outdated associations rather than its actual performance, especially with high-velocity loads.

This entry details how a hacker, with expertise demonstrated by a former Navy SEAL host, can easily hijack Wi-Fi networks. The process involves creating fake Wi-Fi hotspots mimicking legitimate services like Starbucks or Google to trick users into connecting, thereby enabling data interception and password capture. The technique, known as a Man-in-the-Middle attack, highlights significant vulnerabilities in public Wi-Fi.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of two specialized 7.62 NATO rounds: the M61 armor-piercing bullet and the N4-61 tear gas bullet. The host, demonstrating high expertise in ballistics, conducts rigorous testing using professional equipment, including chronographs and various barrier materials like steel, concrete, and ballistic gel. The insights cover penetration capabilities, velocity data, and the effectiveness of tear gas deployment upon impact, offering valuable information for firearms enthusiasts and professionals.

This video from hickok45 demonstrates the impressive power of the .454 Casull cartridge using a Freedom Arms revolver. The demonstration involves shooting a bowling pin, which is significantly penetrated and split by a 360-grain flat-nosed bullet, showcasing the round's effectiveness for hunting or defense against large game. The expert instructor highlights the substantial recoil associated with this powerful caliber.
