This experiment demonstrates that longer barrel lengths on 9mm firearms generally increase ballistic performance and wound cavity size. While a 2-inch barrel showed good expansion and penetration in ballistic gel, a 16-inch rifle barrel produced more dramatic results, including internal burning. Despite the differences, all tested barrel lengths proved highly effective for self-defense.

This video demonstrates how barrel length significantly impacts the terminal ballistics of a 9mm projectile. Testing with 2-inch, 4-inch, and 16-inch barrels showed increased wound channel depth and energy transfer with longer barrels, primarily due to higher muzzle velocity. While longer barrels enhance lethality, even the shortest barrel proved effective.
