This video from Banana Ballistics features an expert firearms tester evaluating the .300 HAM'R cartridge against .300 Blackout and 7.62x39. The host, demonstrating high authority and specialized equipment, conducts rigorous testing including ballistic gel, concrete pavers, and various steel thicknesses. The .300 HAM'R shows exceptional penetration capabilities, surpassing the other calibers in thicker steel and demonstrating significant terminal ballistics performance in gel.
This video provides an expert-level comparison of the penetration capabilities of the .50 Cal SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) Tracer round against the Hornady 750gr A-MAX. The host, demonstrating high authority and technical expertise, uses a Desert Tech HTI rifle and a chronograph to test various thicknesses of mild steel. Key takeaways include the surprising effectiveness of the A-MAX against thinner steel and the unexpected stopping power of 1.5" mild steel against the SLAP round at 50 yards, despite its armor-piercing design. Safety precautions, including sabot strike prevention, are emphasized.
This video provides an expert-level analysis of various 5.7x28mm ammunition loads, conducted by Banana Ballistics. The host utilizes professional equipment like a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph and standardized ballistics gel testing to empirically evaluate penetration on mild steel and performance in gel. The testing reveals significant differences in effectiveness between various loads, highlighting the importance of empirical data for selecting high-performance ammunition.
This video provides an expert-level comparison between the 8.6 Blackout and .308 Winchester cartridges, focusing on their supersonic performance through various mediums. The analysis, conducted by an authority in ballistics, highlights significant differences in penetration, terminal ballistics, and projectile behavior. Key takeaways include the 8.6 Blackout's superior performance in tumbling and expansion against softer materials like lumber and water jugs due to its high twist rate, while the .308 Winchester demonstrates more consistent penetration through harder materials like mild steel.
This video provides a practical demonstration of ballistic differences between rifle and pistol calibers when impacting steel targets. The Guns Blazing Ranch host, exhibiting high authority, shows that 9mm rounds typically splash or create shallow marks, while 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm rounds penetrate cleanly. This visual comparison highlights the significant energy and velocity disparities between these ammunition types against hardened surfaces.
This video provides an expert-level comparison of 9mm +P and 10mm Auto ballistics, featuring a host with high expertise in terminal ballistics. Through controlled testing on an outdoor range, the video demonstrates penetration capabilities against lumber, sand, concrete, mild steel, and ballistic gel, utilizing a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph for data verification. The 10mm Auto consistently shows superior performance in barrier penetration and energy transfer, though 9mm +P performs better than often expected.
This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO green tip steel core ammunition against a half-inch steel beam. The test utilized a POF 415 Edge rifle and Independence 62-grain green tip rounds. One shot successfully penetrated the steel, while another did not, suggesting variability in performance or impact points.
This video features an "Ultimate Barrier Testing" competition between 300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm ammunition, conducted by Banana Ballistics. The host, demonstrating high expertise with structured comparative testing and ballistic data, evaluates each round's performance against various barriers including lumber, sand, concrete, and steel plates. Ultimately, 300 Blackout is declared the winner of the competition due to its superior performance across most barrier types, despite 5.56's advantage against steel.
