This video compares the terminal ballistics of a high-velocity .22 caliber slug versus a larger, slower .30 caliber slug using a block of clay as a medium. The .22 caliber slug achieved significantly higher velocities (around 1200 fps) with a 21-grain H&N slug, causing fragmentation. The .30 caliber slug, fired at approximately 846 fps with a 49.5-grain projectile, exhibited significant mushrooming and less fragmentation, resulting in a wider but shallower wound channel. While the clay test results were comparable, the instructor suggests the higher velocity of the .22 caliber may induce more shock, while the larger .30 caliber projectile creates a larger wound. The video highlights the trade-offs between speed and projectile mass in terminal ballistics.
This video demonstrates a power test of the Huben GK1 .25 caliber air pistol using 46.3 grain ARG slugs. The host, an experienced airgun reviewer, achieves 86 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, causing significant damage to a watermelon, including extensive internal cavitation and complete mushrooming of the slug. The test highlights the air pistol's high-power capabilities.
This video demonstrates the extreme expansion capabilities of .72 caliber airgun slugs, specifically from Lucky Seven Ammo, when fired into a water-filled bag. The test showcases the devastating effect of a segmented hollow point slug, which completely fragments and expands upon impact, highlighting its potential for hunting or pest control applications.
This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Oath Ammunition Tango 12 Gauge round, focusing on its terminal ballistics. GBGuns demonstrates the round's performance using ballistics gel, measuring velocity, energy, and penetration. The expert assessment highlights the significant expansion and energy dump, suggesting effectiveness for defensive scenarios without over-penetration risks.
