This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Train & Protect 180-grain .40 S&W ammunition, evaluating its performance through a clothing barrier. The test reveals inconsistent velocity readings and limited projectile expansion, leading to the conclusion that the ammunition is underpowered for optimal self-defense performance. The instructor notes that while the rounds might still be effective, they do not meet expectations for the price point and exhibit significant inconsistency.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Federal Train and Protect 380 ACP ammunition featuring the Versatile HP projectile. The test compares performance from two different barrel lengths: a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 (2.75-inch barrel) and a Performance Center M&P EZ (3.8-inch barrel). The instructor, with experience testing this ammunition in other calibers, evaluates muzzle velocity, projectile expansion, and penetration depth through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel.
