Videos tagged with Velocity Drop

This YouTube video focuses on the ballistic performance of the 5.56mm cartridge, specifically investigating its velocity drop (FPS) over distance. The title directly asks how fast 5.56 loses velocity, indicating a scientific or data-driven approach to understanding this common rifle caliber. The description provides a link to tatargets.com, suggesting the video might be related to ballistics testing, ammunition performance, or target shooting equipment, potentially offering insights relevant to shooters and firearm enthusiasts interested in the practical application of their firearms.

This video details a ballistic coefficient test conducted by The Gun Dungeon, focusing on how starting muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient affect bullet velocity drop at 100 yards. The instructor uses a .30-06 cartridge with various 150-grain and 208-grain bullets, employing chronographs to measure velocities. The results indicate that higher starting velocities can lead to greater velocity loss over distance, and a higher ballistic coefficient significantly reduces velocity drop.

This review compares the Taurus G2C and Hi-Point pistols, highlighting the G2C as a superior budget-friendly option for concealed carry. The video details the G2C's features, including its double-stack magazine capacity, loaded chamber indicator, and disassembly process. Ballistics testing reveals a velocity drop with the G2C's shorter barrel compared to longer alternatives.

This video re-evaluates Prvi Partisan 75gr BTHP ammunition, initially tested from a 16-inch barrel with positive results. Subsequent testing from a 10.5-inch barrel using real ballistic gelatin revealed significantly reduced performance, including lack of fragmentation and increased ice-picking. The speaker attributes this to a potential change in propellant or charge by the manufacturer, leading to lower velocities compared to older batches.
