Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms content creator, conducts a practical penetration test comparing 9mm and 10mm calibers against 24-gauge sheet metal. The 9mm round (Glock 17, 115-grain) penetrated 11 sheets, while the 10mm round (Glock 20, Underwood 180-grain at 1300 fps) penetrated 14 sheets. The test highlights the superior penetration power of the 10mm cartridge in this specific scenario, while emphasizing crucial firearm safety procedures throughout.
Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms influencer, conducts an experimental penetration test comparing 9mm Luger and .380 ACP rounds against 24-gauge sheet metal. The test utilizes a Glock 43 (9mm) with Hornady 135gr hollow points and a Glock 42 (.380 ACP) with Underwood 90gr rounds. The 9mm penetrated eight sheets, while the .380 ACP penetrated six, demonstrating the 9mm's superior penetration in this specific test scenario.
This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a practical field tester, comparing the ballistic performance of 9mm Luger and .40 S&W Federal Premium Hydra-Shok hollow point ammunition against sheet metal barriers. Using a Glock 19 and Glock 23, the test aims to demonstrate penetration differences. The results indicate minimal difference in penetration against this specific hard barrier for these particular loads.
This guide details a ballistic penetration test comparing 9mm and .40 S&W calibers using Glock 19 and Glock 23 handguns, respectively. The test, conducted by firearms content creator Edwin Sarkissian, involved shooting through 17 sheets of 24-gauge sheet metal. The results showed surprisingly similar penetration depths for both calibers, with both rounds being stopped by the 12th sheet. A bonus test with a .22 LR round demonstrated significantly less penetration.
Edwin Sarkissian, an established firearms content creator, conducts a practical penetration test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP ammunition. The experiment utilizes 24-gauge sheet metal discs to evaluate the stopping power and penetration capabilities of each caliber. The results highlight the distinct characteristics of each round: 9mm offers superior penetration, while .45 ACP delivers greater impact force and deformation.
This video details an experimental test by Edwin Sarkissian to determine how many sheets of 18-gauge steel are required to stop a .50 BMG API round fired from a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The experiment, conducted in a desert shooting range, involved firing a single API round into a stack of 22 metal sheets and analyzing the penetration depth. The results indicate that 16 sheets of 18-gauge steel were needed to halt the projectile.
This video demonstrates a ballistic test comparing the penetration power of a .357 Magnum revolver against 24-gauge sheet metal. The Taurus 608, chambered in .357 Magnum, successfully penetrated 11 discs, creating larger holes than previously observed with 9mm. The experiment highlights the significant energy transfer of the .357 Magnum round.
This video demonstrates a ballistic test comparing the penetration of .22LR ammunition through sheet metal using a Walther P22 handgun. Expert shooter Edwin Sarkissian provides an informative breakdown of ammunition weight (grains) and emphasizes crucial range safety protocols throughout the test. The results show the .22LR's performance against two sheets of 24-gauge metal, with analysis of the deformed projectile.
