This video details a ballistic test of the .40 S&W caliber, specifically using a Sig Sauer P226 with 165-grain Full Metal Jacket ammunition. The test involved shooting through a 1980s van, including its side and firewall, to assess penetration capabilities. The results indicated that the .40 S&W round was less effective than anticipated, failing to penetrate the firewall and showing less fragmentation than expected. Significant issues were encountered with the chronograph, leading to unreliable velocity readings.
