This video tests Liberty Civil Defense 10mm ammunition, featuring a 60-grain projectile advertised at over 2400 FPS. Tests were conducted using a Glock 29 and a 5-inch 1911, with ballistics gel and a chronograph. The ammunition demonstrated exceptionally high velocities and significant terminal effects, with catastrophic damage within the first 3.5 inches of gel.

This video delves into terminal ballistics, demonstrating the performance of 8mm PAK ammunition against ordnance gel and water. It analyzes permanent and temporary cavities, as well as penetration depth, highlighting the effectiveness of improvised firearms. The demonstration shows the 8mm PAK bullet exceeding FBI penetration standards, comparing favorably to commercial pistol cartridges and emphasizing its potential lethality even at short distances.

This video provides a demonstration of the Martini-Henry Mk.II rifle, focusing on its terminal ballistics. It details the effect of the rifle's projectile on a ballistic gel block, explaining concepts like permanent cavity, temporary cavity, and penetration depth. The description compares the Martini-Henry's performance to modern handgun cartridges, noting its reliance on a large permanent cavity for incapacitation due to its lower velocity and harder bullet composition. The video also touches on the historical significance of the Martini-Henry, its role in the film 'Zulu', and its technical specifications as a single-shot, lever-actuated rifle.

This video details a ballistics gel test of the Federal HST 40 S&W 180gr ammunition, fired from a Gen 3 Glock 35. The test results indicate good expansion and penetration, with the bullet achieving approximately 16 inches of penetration and retaining 11.6 grams of its original weight. The instructor highlights the effective wound channel created by this ammunition.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the SA80 L86A1 Light Support Weapon firing a 5.56x45mm NATO round into a 10% ballistic gelatine block. It explains the principles of permanent cavity, temporary cavity, and penetration, using the gelatine block as a scientific standard to simulate human tissue. The description also touches on the history and design intent of the 5.56mm round as an intermediate rifle cartridge.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the SA80 L86A1 Light Support Weapon firing 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition into a 10% ballistic gelatine block. The content explains the scientific principles behind ballistic gel testing, including the formation of permanent and temporary cavities, and the importance of penetration depth. It details how gelatine simulates human tissue for wound track analysis and discusses the characteristics of the 5.56mm round, its origins with the AR-15/M16 platform, and its effectiveness when yawing. The description also provides a link to the Royal Armouries collection.
