This video tests the penetration capabilities of various .22LR ammunition types through a car door. It demonstrates that while some .22LR rounds can penetrate a car door, they may not always achieve full pass-through or incapacitate a target behind it, especially with standard rounds. Faster, heavier, or specialized rounds show increased penetration potential.
This video details a ballistic gelatin test of three different .38 Special ammunition types (Winchester Silver Tip, Remington HTP, and Corbon) fired from a 6-inch barrel. The test includes both bare gelatin and four layers of denim to simulate different scenarios. The presenter meticulously records penetration depth, retained weight, and expanded diameter, offering insights into how barrel length and ammunition type affect terminal ballistics.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Winchester Silver Tip, Remington HTP, and Corbon ammunition in .38 Special and .357 Magnum calibers across 2-inch and 3-inch barrel lengths. The instructor meticulously documents muzzle velocities, penetration depths, expansion diameters, and retained weights, including tests through four layers of denim. The analysis highlights performance differences, recoil characteristics, and offers recommendations based on expansion and penetration metrics.
This video provides a comprehensive velocity test of various .22 WMR (22 Magnum) ammunition types fired from a Rossi RS22M rifle. The instructor, Buckeye Ballistics, meticulously records chronograph data, including average velocity, standard deviation, extreme spread, and foot-pounds of energy for each round. The test highlights differences in performance between handgun-focused rounds and rifle rounds, and addresses common misconceptions about semi-automatic rifle velocity loss. The instructor also discusses the challenges of conducting outdoor tests due to weather and equipment issues, demonstrating resourcefulness with lighting solutions for the chronograph.
This video tests various .22LR self-defense rounds using a Taurus G2c with a short barrel to simulate common carry scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that .22LR is generally not ideal for self-defense due to insufficient penetration according to FBI standards, but acknowledges it's better than nothing if it's the only firearm someone will carry. The testing focuses on penetration depth and expansion through simulated clothing.
This video conducts a ballistic gel test of .22 WMR pistol defense rounds fired from a 21-inch rifle barrel at close range. The test evaluates expansion, penetration, retained weight, and fragmentation, comparing Winchester Silver Tip, Speer Gold Dot, Federal Punch, and Hornady Critical Defense loads. The results indicate that while these rounds are optimized for pistols, they exhibit increased velocity and varied performance from a rifle, with some rounds showing significant expansion and others fragmentation.
This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Hornady Critical Defense and Speer Gold Dot .22 Magnum ammunition fired from a 3-inch barrel. The test evaluates penetration, expansion, and wound cavity creation, including a test with four layers of denim as a barrier. The presenter provides detailed measurements and visual analysis of the recovered projectiles.
This video provides a comprehensive review and range test of the Walther WMP pistol chambered in .22 Magnum. The reviewer, demonstrating intermediate skill, highlights the pistol's robust build, aggressive grip, and effective sights. He discusses its performance with various ammunition types, noting cycling issues with lighter rounds but overall reliability with 40-grain and heavier loads. The review also covers trigger feel, accuracy at different distances, and potential considerations for shooters with smaller hands.
This video provides an in-depth field test of the Stealth Arms Platypus, a 2011-style pistol designed to accept Glock magazines. The presenter and associates, including experienced shooters like Tony Silas, put the firearm through extensive live-fire testing at a private range. They evaluate its reliability with various ammunition types, including hollow points and standard ball, and discuss its ergonomics and trigger quality. The consensus is that the Platypus performs exceptionally well, handling approximately 1500 rounds without cleaning and demonstrating reliability comparable to a Glock.
This video conducts a muzzle energy test comparing the Sig P365 Macro, P365 XL, and P365 Carry. It specifically tests several ammunition types: Liberty Civil Defense 50gr +p, Winchester Silver Tip 115gr, Sierra Outdoor Master 124gr, and Hornady Critical Defense 135gr. The description also mentions additional content available on GBGunsDepot.com and their Instagram page.
This video provides a detailed comparison of Federal Punch and Winchester Silver Tip 22LR ammunition fired from a Beretta 21A Bobcat pistol with a 2.5-inch barrel. The test involved chronographing velocities and testing penetration and terminal performance in ballistic gel. The Winchester Silver Tip surprisingly outperformed the Federal Punch in gel testing, demonstrating effective segmentation despite lower velocity.
This video from Autumn's Armory tests the durability of a unique substance dubbed 'moon goo' against various firearms. The experiment involves shooting the material with a .22 LR, .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .357 Magnum, 10mm Auto, and .300 Blackout. The results demonstrate that 'moon goo' is not bulletproof and is significantly affected by different calibers, with larger rounds causing more destruction.
