This video provides an expert-level analysis of 7N6 5.45x39mm ammunition, comparing its terminal ballistics to standard rounds. Through ballistic gel testing, the video demonstrates the extreme wound cavity created by the 7N6's unique design, highlighting its rapid energy transfer and tumbling effect. The speaker, identified as an expert, details the projectile's characteristics and its controversial reputation for lethality.

This video explores the unique Hickory Flatbores 'Bear Claw' 12-gauge round, which deploys five 5.56mm projectiles. The host, from Civilian Tactical, demonstrates its performance through ballistic gelatin and paper patterning tests, highlighting projectile behavior and impact energy. The content showcases specialized ammunition testing with a focus on experimental ballistics.

This video details a ballistic gel test comparing Federal Punch and Buffalo Bore .25 ACP ammunition. The instructor, experienced in firearms testing, demonstrates a rigorous methodology using a chronograph and layered clothing barriers to assess projectile performance. The results highlight the limitations of the .25 ACP caliber for defensive use, with both ammunition types showing minimal penetration and significant tumbling in gel.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing Fort Scott Ammunition's 9mm Tumble Upon Impact rounds against standard Browning 115-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, fired from a Canik TP9SFx. The test aimed to evaluate the tumbling and wound channel characteristics of each round. While the Tumble Upon Impact rounds did tumble and create a significant wound channel, the presenter found the performance to be comparable to the FMJ rounds, which also exhibited tumbling and created a substantial wound channel, albeit with greater penetration. The presenter questions the cost-benefit of the specialized ammunition.

This video from Iraqveteran8888 features an expert-level review and testing of two Fort Scott Munitions 5.56 NATO loads: the 55-grain Brushhog (solid copper) and the 62-grain Brasshog (solid brass). The instructor meticulously tests their terminal ballistics through various mediums including ballistic gel with clothing, drywall, watermelons, pine boards, and milk jugs. The analysis focuses on projectile behavior like tumbling and yawing, and their effects on wound channels and penetration.
