Videos tagged with Sound Level Testing

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Aguila Colibri .22 LR round, often cited as the world's weakest. Through expert-level ballistics testing, including sound level measurements, velocity readings from both pistol and rifle platforms, and penetration tests on various materials like pine boards and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates the round's extremely low energy output. The analysis highlights its 'Hollywood quiet' decibel levels but concludes that its lethality is significantly reduced compared to standard ammunition, emphasizing the critical need for precise shot placement.

This video features a detailed comparison between a TenPoint Titan 400 crossbow and an 8.6 Blackout subsonic rifle, assessing lethality and noise. The expert host, from Banana Ballistics, utilizes specialized equipment and testing methodologies, including water jug and ballistic gel tests, to analyze projectile performance. The 8.6 Blackout demonstrates superior energy transfer and penetration, particularly with expanding and fracturing rounds, despite both platforms achieving similar low decibel readings when suppressed.
