This video tests the performance of 1-karat diamond-tipped .45 ACP rounds fired from a 1911. The tests included a water jug penetration and a ballistics gelatin test. The diamond-tipped rounds, similar to FMJ, did not exhibit expansion and passed through both water jugs and the gelatin block cleanly, suggesting potential underperformance compared to traditional hollow points in this specific configuration. The presenter questions the effectiveness of .45 ACP hollow points in general based on these results.

This video demonstrates the performance of Byrna Kinetic less-lethal 12 gauge shotgun rounds. The host tests these rounds on a watermelon and a five-gallon water jug, observing the impact and damage. The rounds are described as torpedo-shaped and are assessed for their potential to cause injury, with the conclusion that they would sting but not puncture skin.

This video demonstrates the destructive potential of Hory Flatbs' 12 Gauge Gold Havoc BB ammunition. Through tests involving a water jug, car door, and ballistic gelatin, the ammunition's effectiveness in maximizing damage and minimizing wasted space between projectiles is showcased. The tests highlight significant penetration and fragmentation, indicating a high level of terminal performance.

This video tests an unknown shotgun ammunition nicknamed 'Botfly,' focusing on its large hollow-point expansion. Tests include a water jug for hydrostatic shock, a paper target for accuracy, and ballistic gelatin to observe expansion. The Botfly ammunition demonstrated significant trauma and cavity formation in ballistic gelatin, even penetrating the medium entirely.

This video demonstrates the testing of a 37mm grenade, dubbed the 'Marine Blaster 3000', for less-lethal riot control applications. The presenter uses a TAC 79 grenade launcher and conducts impact tests on paper targets, a water jug, and simulated riot heads to assess the projectile's effectiveness and energy transfer. Adjustments were made to the ammunition load by a professional reloader to achieve desired performance.

This video provides an expert look at vintage Kentucky State Police 10mm Auto ammunition, specifically the Master brand 180gr Gold Dot Hollow Point duty load. The presenter, demonstrating high expertise, conducts a ballistics test using water jugs to showcase the round's impressive expansion and terminal performance, highlighting its historical significance for law enforcement.

This video provides a detailed ballistic comparison between the 6.5 PRC and the 270 Winchester, highlighting their performance differences in penetration, terminal ballistics, and long-range accuracy. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, demonstrates that while the cartridges are ballistically similar in many aspects, the 6.5 PRC's modern design and ability to stabilize high-BC bullets offer a slight advantage in extended range performance.

This YouTube Short features a comparison of how 5.56mm ammunition interacts with water jugs. The video likely showcases the ballistic effects of this common rifle caliber as it penetrates and disperses through the water, offering a visual demonstration of its energy and terminal ballistics in a relatable medium. It's a concise and visually engaging piece for firearm enthusiasts interested in the performance of the 5.56mm round.

This video tests the impact energy and penetration capabilities of bean bag rounds, a type of less-lethal shotgun ammunition. Through tests involving a water jug, peanut butter, and ballistic gelatin, the video demonstrates that while these rounds are unlikely to be fatal, they possess sufficient force to incapacitate or deter a target. The presenter notes the importance of understanding the energy transfer of such munitions.

This video compares the 7 PRC and 300 Win Mag cartridges through a series of penetration tests involving steel and wood, as well as a water jug test. The presenter, an experienced shooter, found the 300 Win Mag consistently outperformed the 7 PRC in terms of hole size and penetration depth across these specific tests, contrary to his initial expectations.

This video tests the efficacy of firing bubble gum from a shotgun. While the gum and lead projectile showed surprising energy transfer in a water jug test and some penetration in ballistic gel, the gum itself only penetrated about a finger deep. The lead projectile passed through the gel entirely. The test concluded that while technically lethal due to the lead, the use of bubble gum as ammunition lacks practical sense.

This video tests the 'Twister' slug, a shotgun projectile featuring three lead petals designed to open upon impact. The test demonstrates its performance by shooting a five-gallon water jug, a paper target for accuracy, and ballistic gelatin for lethality. The results show significant water displacement, a clean hole on the paper target, and petal separation in the gelatin, indicating effective expansion and penetration.
