This video conducts a clear ballistics gel test of various 30 Super Carry ammunition types, comparing performance from both a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus handgun and a Hi-Point 3095 carbine. The test highlights significant velocity differences between the handgun and carbine, leading to varied projectile performance, particularly in terms of expansion and fragmentation when exceeding designed velocities. Monolithic copper bullets demonstrated consistent penetration without expansion, while jacketed hollow points showed extreme fragmentation at higher carbine velocities.
