This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing PPU and Magtech .32 ACP JHP ammunition, fired from a Beretta 3032 Tomcat. The expert instructor analyzes velocity, penetration depth, and expansion, concluding that neither round offers optimal self-defense performance at the tested velocities, suggesting alternatives for better results.

This video tests Winchester Silvertip ammunition in .32 ACP and .380 ACP calibers using ballistic gel and a chronograph. The .32 ACP round showed no expansion and minimal penetration, while the .380 ACP round exhibited expansion and better performance, though both calibers were noted to be on the weaker side. The instructor emphasizes that shot placement is critical for these smaller calibers, and suggests that for .380 ACP, hard cast FMJ rounds might offer better performance than expanding hollow points.

This video conducts a comparative velocity test of various .22LR firearms with different barrel lengths, using both suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. The presenter utilizes a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph to measure muzzle velocities of Federal standard velocity and Aguila Super Extra Hollow Point ammunition. The tests highlight the significant impact of barrel length on projectile velocity, with longer barrels generally yielding higher speeds.

This YouTube video, titled "CCI .22LR 40gr Standard Velocity FPS Test_001", focuses on testing the muzzle velocity (FPS) of CCI .22LR ammunition.

This expert review from Tools&Targets critically analyzes the 9mm Speer Gold Dot G2 LE DHS Border Patrol ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating deep expertise, conducted rigorous ballistic gel tests and velocity measurements using Glock 19, Glock 17, and Canik TP9 SFX firearms. The findings reveal significant underperformance in expansion and penetration, leading to a strong recommendation against its use for defense purposes.

This video conducts a velocity test comparing the Byrna LE and Byrna CL non-lethal devices. It aims to provide a direct comparison of their performance in terms of projectile speed, which is a key metric for these less-lethal alternatives. The comparison focuses on demonstrating the differences between the two models, likely for potential buyers or those interested in less-lethal self-defense options.

This video provides a comprehensive velocity test of various .22 WMR (22 Magnum) ammunition types fired from a Rossi RS22M rifle. The instructor, Buckeye Ballistics, meticulously records chronograph data, including average velocity, standard deviation, extreme spread, and foot-pounds of energy for each round. The test highlights differences in performance between handgun-focused rounds and rifle rounds, and addresses common misconceptions about semi-automatic rifle velocity loss. The instructor also discusses the challenges of conducting outdoor tests due to weather and equipment issues, demonstrating resourcefulness with lighting solutions for the chronograph.

This review tests CCI Blazer JHP .40 S&W ammunition through ballistic gel and chronograph readings. The presenter expresses significant disappointment with the performance, particularly noting low velocities and inconsistent expansion, especially from shorter barrels. The conclusion is that this ammunition is not recommended for self-defense due to its perceived weak loading and unreliable performance.

This video focuses on the ballistics of a specific rifle caliber. The title directly asks viewers to guess the velocity of the "300 Win Mag Match ammo". The description encourages engagement by asking for guesses in the comments, suggesting a test or demonstration of the ammunition's performance.

This review tests CCI Blazer 9mm JHP ammunition through two different barrel lengths (3.1" and 4.5"). While the ammunition met advertised velocities from the longer barrel, its performance in ballistic gel was deemed poor, with significant over-penetration and lack of reliable expansion from the shorter barrel. The reviewer concludes that despite its price point, it does not offer good value or performance compared to other options.

This video tests the heater performance of a 2023 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate side-by-side vehicle in extreme cold conditions, reaching -23°F. The creator demonstrates the heater's effectiveness using a thermometer and shares their experience with the vehicle in harsh winter weather. The video also includes links to other content from the creator, some of which are firearms-related.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Sellier & Bellot .32 S&W Long 100-grain wadcutter ammunition. The test evaluates projectile performance through a heavy clothing barrier, measuring velocity from both a 2-inch and a 3-inch barrel. The results highlight the ammunition's low energy but surprisingly effective penetration due to its flat-nose design, making it a viable, albeit low-powered, option for self-defense in this caliber.
