This video provides an expert-level analysis of 7N6 5.45x39mm ammunition, comparing its terminal ballistics to standard rounds. Through ballistic gel testing, the video demonstrates the extreme wound cavity created by the 7N6's unique design, highlighting its rapid energy transfer and tumbling effect. The speaker, identified as an expert, details the projectile's characteristics and its controversial reputation for lethality.

This video from Alyssa Seymour provides a technical comparison between a standard lead bullet and the Symex bullet from Sim-X Ammunition. It highlights significant differences in velocity, impact pressure, and the resulting pressure wave, visualized through ballistic gelatin tests and wound cavity models. The expert analysis focuses on the empirical data to demonstrate the performance characteristics of the Symex ammunition.

This guide synthesizes a firearms instructor's analysis of the AR Pistol (ARP) trend in urban environments. It details ballistic performance comparisons between an 8-inch AR pistol and a 16-inch AR-15 rifle, using chronograph data and ballistics gel tests. The expert highlights the trade-offs between concealment and terminal ballistics, emphasizing that while ARPs are popular for their size, they are ballistically inferior to standard rifles.

This entry details the performance characteristics of the M855A1 5.56x45mm NATO round, as analyzed by Dirty Civilian. The analysis focuses on terminal ballistics in ballistic gel, highlighting expansion and fragmentation patterns. Key technical insights include its higher operating pressure (+10,000 PSI) and its design objective to achieve higher velocities from shorter barrels.

This video compares two distinct 12-gauge shotgun rounds, the RIP and Sbrown, by testing their terminal ballistics in ballistic gelatin. Both rounds utilize different expansion mechanisms: the RIP features petals that separate upon impact, while the Sbrown has a massive hollow-point cavity designed to collapse. Despite their differing designs, both rounds create significant wound cavities and demonstrate comparable performance in terms of petal separation distance and core penetration, suggesting either could be an effective choice.

This video details a ballistic gel test of a powerful shotgun slug, referred to as the 'OG spicy slug.' The test involves a specific setup using ballistic gel blocks, a thin wood barrier, and cinder blocks to analyze projectile performance, fragmentation, and wound cavity creation. The instructor highlights the slug's extreme destructive power, noting its ability to obliterate targets and create significant damage, even shattering a cinder block.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of the Winchester 3-inch .410 rifled slug. The instructor, demonstrating intermediate skill, analyzes penetration depth, fragmentation, and wound cavity expansion. The test highlights the slug's performance characteristics, comparing it implicitly to other .410 slugs and noting its tendency to fragment.

This guide details a ballistic gel testing procedure comparing PMC Bronze 55gr .223 and PMC X-Tac 62gr 5.56 Green Tip ammunition. The expert-level instruction covers setup, execution, and analysis of the tests, emphasizing bullet behavior like tumbling and fragmentation. The speaker, an experienced individual, highlights the commonality and affordability of these rounds for shooters, while also discussing their performance characteristics in gel.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Remington Golden Saber 125-grain .357 Sig ammunition fired from a Glock 31 with a 4.5-inch barrel. The test yielded impressive results, with significant wound cavities and excellent bullet expansion, demonstrating the cartridge's effectiveness. The presenter emphasizes the consistency of the results and the impressive performance compared to other calibers.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Brenneke 3-inch Magnum .410 slugs. The instructor, with apparent experience in ballistics testing, evaluates penetration, wound cavity creation, and velocity from two different barrel lengths. The results are compared to previous tests of Winchester and Remington slugs, highlighting the Brenneke's significant wound channel despite velocities falling short of advertised specifications.

This video presents a ballistic gelatin test comparing Federal Punch and Winchester Silvertip .22 WMR ammunition fired from a Taurus 942 pistol with a 3-inch barrel. The test focuses on penetration depth, wound cavity creation, and bullet expansion. The presenter notes that neither ammunition expanded significantly from the short barrel, but both demonstrated tumbling, creating notable wound channels. The Federal Punch generally outperformed the Winchester Silvertip in terms of wound cavity size and consistent tumbling.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Underwood 70-grain all-copper hollow-point 9mm ammunition, comparing performance from a micro-compact (Taurus GX4) and a full-size (Glock 17) pistol. The test evaluates expansion, penetration, and wound cavity creation with and without denim barriers, highlighting how barrel length and velocity affect terminal ballistics.
