.22LR Velocity Test from 3 Different Barrel Lengths - 8 Types Ammo Tested

This video demonstrates the use of a Smith & Wesson 629 Performance Center .44 Magnum revolver at an outdoor shooting range. Expertly handled by Mr. Madness, the session focuses on testing DoubleTap Ammunition using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph to measure projectile velocity. The footage highlights safe firearm handling and the collection of specific ballistics data for performance analysis.

This YouTube video showcases the TX22 firearm operating in snowy conditions. The title suggests a focus on the firearm's performance in adverse weather, likely demonstrating its reliability and functionality under cold and potentially wet circumstances. The content appears to be a range test or field evaluation, highlighting the TX22's capabilities outside of ideal shooting environments.

This video compares the muzzle velocity (FPS) of .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition fired from different barrel lengths, specifically a 2-inch and a 4-inch barrel. It demonstrates significant FPS gains with longer barrels and highlights the velocity difference between the two calibers.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition using gel block testing. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, causing substantial damage to the test setup. The 7.62x39mm round, while also expanding, showed greater penetration, passing through the gel block and the table. The test highlights the different performance characteristics of these popular calibers in terms of tissue damage and penetration.

This video presents ballistics data for a 13.9-inch 6mm ARC rifle. The test fired 105-grain ammunition through a suppressor, achieving an average muzzle velocity of 2494.9 feet per second with a low standard deviation of 10.2. The data indicates excellent performance for factory ammunition out of this barrel length.

This video demonstrates a live-fire test of .44 Special Wadcutter ammunition fired from a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog revolver. Expert instruction is provided on loading the firearm and utilizing a Garmin Xero Chronograph to collect ballistic data, including average, minimum, and maximum velocities. The test concludes with a positive assessment of the performance.

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 provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
