This video provides a ballistic gel test comparison of Underwood Extreme Defender and Inceptor ARX 9mm defensive rounds. The testing is conducted using a Sig P365, with a focus on performance through heavy clothing.

This ballistic gel test evaluates Underwood's 68gr Extreme Defender .380 ACP ammunition in both standard and +P pressure variants, fired from a Ruger LCP Max. The fluted copper bullets demonstrated impressive performance, achieving significant penetration and permanent cavity expansion without relying on traditional hollow point expansion. Both loads exceeded FBI minimum penetration standards after passing through four layers of denim.
This video definitively addresses the use of ball ammunition for self-defense, concluding it is generally suboptimal compared to modern hollow points. While ball ammo is lethal and may be necessary in specific legal contexts or for smaller calibers, it poses an over-penetration risk and creates smaller wound channels. The demonstration with ballistics gel clearly shows hollow points like Federal HST offer superior energy transfer and terminal performance for civilian self-defense.
