This video from Banana Ballistics provides an in-depth analysis of the Aguila Colibri .22 LR ammunition, often touted as the world's weakest. Through rigorous testing, including sound level measurements, velocity checks, and penetration tests against pine boards and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates its extremely low power. The analysis concludes that while not entirely without potential hazards, the Colibri lacks the energy for reliable lethality compared to standard ammunition, emphasizing the need for precise shot placement.

This video tests the long-range lethality of the .22 LR cartridge using a highly accurate Vudoo 360 rifle and specialized elevation equipment. The test employed a U.S. Army standard of piercing a 1/2-inch pine board, which the Eley Tenex ammunition successfully achieved at distances up to 677 yards. The experiment highlights that even a small caliber round retains significant energy and potential lethality at extreme ranges, emphasizing the importance of target awareness.

This video compares the penetration capabilities of .338 Lapua Magnum and .50 BMG rounds through a constructed box of 41 pine boards. Surprisingly, the .338 Lapua Magnum penetrated 24 boards, stopping on the 25th, while the .50 BMG penetrated 23 boards before veering off. The test highlights that caliber alone doesn't guarantee superior penetration, with factors like bullet construction and velocity playing significant roles.

This test demonstrates the surprising lethality of 9mm rounds at extended distances, far beyond typical self-defense scenarios. Even at 440 yards, the 9mm round retained enough energy to penetrate multiple barriers and 9 inches of ballistics gel, highlighting the importance of proper backstops and situational awareness.
