This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel test procedure for self-defense ammunition, specifically the Underwood 9mm +P+ 115 Grain Xtreme Penetrator. It covers the setup, execution, and analysis of the test, including firearm selection (Canik Mete MC9 and Glock 17), velocity measurements, penetration depth in gel with clothing barriers, and examination of the recovered projectile. The expert instruction emphasizes understanding ammunition performance characteristics for defensive applications.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Buffalo Bore's 125-grain .357 SIG Low Flash ammunition. The test evaluates performance across two different barrel lengths, measuring muzzle velocity, penetration, and projectile expansion. The results demonstrate consistent and effective terminal ballistics suitable for self-defense applications.

This expert-level review from Tools&Targets provides comprehensive ballistic data for Sabre Blade Black Tip .300 AAC Blackout 110 grain ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority with professional testing equipment like LabRadar, details velocity, penetration, and grain retention from both an 8.5-inch SBR pistol and a 16-inch rifle. The analysis highlights excellent performance, particularly the mass retention in the shorter barrel, making it a strong contender for self-defense applications.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates the significant penetration power of a .50 BMG round against a vehicle. The test involves firing the .50 BMG through a car door, 75 pounds of clay, a metal bracket, and into seat foam. The footage, including high-speed impacts and projectile recovery, showcases the destructive energy transfer of the .50 BMG cartridge. The host, an experienced firearms content creator, provides an enthusiastic and experimental assessment of the results.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of .50 BMG ammunition against an "indestructible" sledgehammer. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of .50 BMG Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer rounds, showing significant penetration and damage to the hardened steel. The presenter, an experienced shooter, successfully recovers a fragment of the projectile, providing insights into its composition and performance.

This guide details a technique for recovering the tungsten core of specialized ammunition, like the Raufoss Mk 211, after firing it through a target medium. It involves setting up paper stacks and a cinder block barrier to capture the projectile. The video showcases this experimental process with high-caliber firearms, demonstrating the projectile's penetration capabilities. Instruction is provided by Edwin Sarkissian, who exhibits high expertise in experimental firearms and ammunition testing.

This guide details the procedure for testing the terminal ballistics of a 20mm round using a Serbu Typhon 20 cannon and Clear Ballistics gel. It covers setup, firing, and inspection of the target and recovered projectile, emphasizing safety and detailed analysis. The expert insights come from Edwin Sarkissian, known for his extreme firearms testing.

This guide details an experimental procedure for testing the ballistic resistance of water against .50 BMG rifle rounds, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers setup, firing, and analysis, highlighting the unpredictable nature of projectile behavior when impacting water. The experiment aims to determine if a swimming pool filled with water can stop high-caliber rounds, with a focus on safety and observation.

This video demonstrates a DIY ballistic test using multiple rolls of Flex Tape to assess its bullet-stopping capabilities against various calibers, including .22 LR, 9mm, .357 Magnum, and .50 AE. The experiment, conducted by an experienced hobbyist shooter, shows that even powerful rounds like the .50 AE can be significantly slowed or stopped by a sufficient quantity of the tape, with projectiles being recovered from within the adhesive layers.

This video demonstrates an experiment to determine the effectiveness of sandbags in stopping a .50 BMG round fired from a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test concludes that two sandbags are sufficient to halt a 660-grain steel core .50 caliber projectile. The content provides visual evidence of the projectile's impact and recovery, showcasing the steel core's integrity after penetration.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit unconventional, test to determine the bullet-stopping capabilities of common household items. Edwin Sarkissian, an established firearms content creator, uses a Glock 19 with 9mm FMJ ammunition to test how many pillows are needed to stop a bullet. The experiment provides a visual representation of projectile penetration, concluding that 7 to 8 pillows were required.
