This video from Plinkify USA highlights an impressive upgrade for AK firearms, specifically a "FRT" (presumably a Fire Control Group replacement) that significantly enhances performance. The uploader describes it as "hands down the best three hundo you'll spend this year," noting its ability to handle a high volume of ammunition, including .223 rounds, even with a drum magazine. The upgrade was tested on a Palmetto State Armory Krink and is praised as a valuable modification.

This video compares Super Vel's .380 ACP Pocket Rocket and .38 Special +P Super Snub ammunition through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The .380 demonstrated excellent expansion but insufficient penetration, while the .38 Special achieved adequate penetration but showed questionable expansion, leading to a mixed assessment for both rounds in this specific test scenario.

The video details recent ammunition and firearm accessory acquisitions. The presenter discusses purchases from Rural King, including 6.5 Creedmoor and 380 ACP, and an online order of Super Vel 223 Remington and 380 ACP. Local shop purchases include 410 slugs, 5.7x28mm, 40 S&W, and 41 Magnum ammunition. A new Smith & Wesson Model 57 revolver in 41 Magnum is also introduced, alongside Vortex 1-8x LPVOs.

This entry delves into why the 9mm Parabellum achieved global dominance, as explained by firearms experts Bill Wilson and Massad Ayoob. It covers historical context, the impact of ammunition advancements, modern defensive requirements, and practical considerations like recoil and cost. The discussion highlights that while .45 ACP was favored in the US post-WWI, the 9mm's evolution and inherent advantages led to its widespread adoption.

This video tests the performance of 160gr Super Vel SCHP ammunition fired from a 10.25" barrel, comparing it to a previous test with a shorter barrel. The test uses a TNW Aero Survival pistol and a high-speed camera to analyze penetration depth, retained weight, and expansion in both bare gel and heavy clothing scenarios. Ballistic gel data is provided for each test, along with detailed velocity measurements. The video aims to educate viewers on the technical aspects of ammunition performance, specifically how increased barrel length affects projectile characteristics.

This video features a ballistic gel test of Super Vel's 10mm 160gr SCHP (Solid Copper Hollow Point) ammunition fired from a 4.5" EAA Witness pistol. The test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gel and heavy clothing scenarios. Velocities are recorded and analyzed, showing an average of 1,119 fps with a spread of 25 fps. The video highlights the dependable performance of solid copper projectiles despite potential velocity differences compared to lead-core ammunition, emphasizing its technical aspects as an educational resource.

This video evaluates the performance of the resurrected Super Vel .38 Special +P 90gr JHP ammunition. Using a Smith & Wesson Model 638 revolver and a Phantom V642 high-speed camera, the test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gel and heavy clothing simulations. The ammunition, historically significant as Super Vel invented the hollow point, is tested for its effectiveness. Velocities are also recorded and analyzed, showing an average of 1,251 fps.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Super Vel 115gr SCHP subsonic 9mm ammunition. The test evaluates expansion and penetration through gel and heavy clothing, noting the unusual 115-grain weight for subsonic rounds. Results indicate good expansion and penetration, even after passing through denim, with impressive projectile consistency.

This video tests the performance of Super Vel's 9mm 115gr SCHP ammunition. The test involves firing the rounds from a Smith & Wesson Shield into Clear Ballistics gel, both bare and with heavy clothing. Ballistics data such as penetration depth, retained weight, and expansion are recorded, along with chronograph data for velocity. The video also highlights the history of SuperVel and provides contact information for Aimed Research's high-speed camera rentals.
