This video from Buckeye Ballistics compares the terminal performance of various pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) fired into water-filled pumpkins. The instructor emphasizes that most calibers tend to punch through pumpkins, with significant "explosion" being rare and dependent on pumpkin juiciness and caliber. Ammunition selection, particularly bullet type and weight, is highlighted as crucial for performance, often more so than caliber alone. Future videos will cover shotgun and rifle calibers.
