This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Liberty Ammunition's 9mm SPIKE self-defense round. The test, conducted by an experienced firearms tester, utilizes professional equipment like a LabRadar chronograph and standardized gel blocks with heavy clothing barriers. The SPIKE round demonstrated impressive velocity from both short (Canik Mete MC9) and long (Ruger PC Charger) barrels, leading to significant temporary cavity formation and fragmentation upon impact, with penetration depths around 14.5 inches.

This video by Lucky Gunner Ammo, featuring Chris Baker, delves into the fundamentals of terminal ballistics, explaining how bullets interact with targets. It contrasts rifle and pistol effectiveness, highlighting the importance of permanent cavity, penetration depth (minimum 12 inches in gel), and the role of temporary cavity, which is more pronounced with higher velocity rifle rounds. The discussion emphasizes that while CNS hits offer instant incapacitation, aiming for the upper chest is a practical doctrine due to target size and vital organs. The video also touches on historical research and the standardization of ballistic gelatin testing by Dr. Martin Fackler.

This video delves into terminal ballistics, demonstrating the performance of 8mm PAK ammunition against ordnance gel and water. It analyzes permanent and temporary cavities, as well as penetration depth, highlighting the effectiveness of improvised firearms. The demonstration shows the 8mm PAK bullet exceeding FBI penetration standards, comparing favorably to commercial pistol cartridges and emphasizing its potential lethality even at short distances.

This video provides a demonstration of the Martini-Henry Mk.II rifle, focusing on its terminal ballistics. It details the effect of the rifle's projectile on a ballistic gel block, explaining concepts like permanent cavity, temporary cavity, and penetration depth. The description compares the Martini-Henry's performance to modern handgun cartridges, noting its reliance on a large permanent cavity for incapacitation due to its lower velocity and harder bullet composition. The video also touches on the historical significance of the Martini-Henry, its role in the film 'Zulu', and its technical specifications as a single-shot, lever-actuated rifle.

This video delves into the principles of terminal ballistics using a firearm demonstration. It explains the creation and use of ordnance gelatine and Permagel for testing, focusing on the concepts of permanent cavity, temporary cavity, and penetration depth. The analysis highlights the performance characteristics of the 9x19mm cartridge, comparing it implicitly to larger calibers like .45 ACP, and discusses survivability of pistol bullet wounds. The demonstration also visually illustrates bullet deceleration and the temporary cavity effect within the gel block.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the SA80 L86A1 Light Support Weapon firing a 5.56x45mm NATO round into a 10% ballistic gelatine block. It explains the principles of permanent cavity, temporary cavity, and penetration, using the gelatine block as a scientific standard to simulate human tissue. The description also touches on the history and design intent of the 5.56mm round as an intermediate rifle cartridge.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the SA80 L86A1 Light Support Weapon firing 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition into a 10% ballistic gelatine block. The content explains the scientific principles behind ballistic gel testing, including the formation of permanent and temporary cavities, and the importance of penetration depth. It details how gelatine simulates human tissue for wound track analysis and discusses the characteristics of the 5.56mm round, its origins with the AR-15/M16 platform, and its effectiveness when yawing. The description also provides a link to the Royal Armouries collection.
