This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video features Yoki Sturrup testing a lineup of revolvers against watermelons to assess their impact. The firearms tested include a Taurus Raging Hunter in .357 Magnum, a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .44 Magnum, and a Smith & Wesson Model 500. The presenter demonstrates safe handling practices and provides initial impressions of each firearm's performance and recoil.
