This review of the Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible covers its performance with both .22LR and .22WMR cylinders. The 9.5-inch barrel is noted for potentially increasing velocity, especially with .22 Magnum. Testing at various distances highlights the firearm's accuracy potential, though the wide front sight blade presents challenges for precision shooting at longer ranges. The reviewer suggests sight adjustment is necessary for optimal performance beyond close distances.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Black Hills Ammunition's 155-grain JHP .40 S&W self-defense rounds. The instructor, with apparent experience in firearms testing, evaluates performance from both a Glock 27 (3.5-inch barrel) and a Glock 22 (4.5-inch barrel). While not top-tier, the ammunition demonstrated adequate expansion and penetration, particularly from the longer barrel, suggesting it's a viable option for concealed carry or self-defense.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Scorpion 10mm 180 Grain JHP ammunition, comparing its performance from a Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Glock 20 (4.6-inch barrel). The instructor, Tools&Targets, critiques the ammunition's claimed velocity and energy, deeming it "weak 10mm" compared to premium loads. Despite this, the gel test shows good expansion and penetration from both firearms, with the Glock 20 achieving slightly better results.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Black Hills Honey Badger .45 ACP ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in firearms testing, evaluates the performance of this solid copper fluted projectile through a heavy clothing barrier. Key findings include consistent penetration and disruption across different barrel lengths, though the instructor notes a desire for higher velocity and energy compared to advertised claims.

Clint Morgan discusses the relevance of short-barreled rifles (SBRs), arguing they are not obsolete despite longer barrels offering greater velocity and range for cartridges like 5.56. He highlights SBRs' advantages in close quarters, vehicle operations, and home defense due to their compact size, contrasting them with the longer barrels needed for optimal 5.56 performance. The discussion touches on specific platforms like the Mark 18 and M4, and mentions the potential for advanced accuracy from newer designs like Blackout Defense's.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Corbon Glaser Powerball .38 Super ammunition, featuring both 115-grain and 100-grain variants. The test includes a heavy clothing barrier and chronograph readings, demonstrating impressive velocity, expansion, and penetration. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, highlights the ammunition's performance and reliability, despite minor firearm-related hiccups.

This review of the PTR 9 SDM Bravo highlights its exceptional sound suppression capabilities, achieving 'Hollywood quiet' performance even with supersonic 124-grain ammunition. The video details velocity testing, demonstrating a significant reduction in muzzle velocity compared to a standard suppressed MP5 clone. Accuracy tests yielded a 1-inch group at 25 yards, and the firearm's features, including its factory SBR status and integrated SDM system, are thoroughly examined.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Hydra-Shok 110 grain .38 Special ammunition. The test utilizes a heavy clothing barrier and multiple firearm barrel lengths (2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch) to evaluate bullet expansion and penetration. The results indicate that the ammunition struggles to achieve consistent expansion through the barrier, particularly at lower velocities typical of shorter barrels.

This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel test procedure for Underwood 9mm +P 115 Grain Sporting JHP ammunition, as demonstrated by an expert instructor. It covers test setup, firearm preparation, velocity and penetration measurements, and projectile analysis, providing critical data for self-defense ammunition evaluation. The expert's methodology ensures reliable and comparable results across different firearm platforms.

This video from Banana Ballistics explores pushing the limits of .22LR velocity using modified ammunition, specifically nail gun blanks. The expert instructor demonstrates advanced testing techniques with various chronographs and firearms, highlighting extreme velocities and potential dangers. The content emphasizes safety and provides insights into the performance of different ammunition types and firearm durability under stress.

This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel test procedure for self-defense ammunition, specifically the Underwood 9mm +P+ 115 Grain Xtreme Penetrator. It covers the setup, execution, and analysis of the test, including firearm selection (Canik Mete MC9 and Glock 17), velocity measurements, penetration depth in gel with clothing barriers, and examination of the recovered projectile. The expert instruction emphasizes understanding ammunition performance characteristics for defensive applications.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic gel test of Seismic Ammo Quakemaker +M 9mm ammunition, conducted by an experienced instructor. The test evaluates the ammunition's performance through a clothing barrier, measuring velocity, penetration, and projectile expansion using firearms like the Ruger PC Charger and HK SP5. The instructor provides a critical analysis of the results, comparing them to self-defense expectations.
