22LR vs 17 HMR vs 22 MAG: Never Would’ve Guessed

This video demonstrates a challenging 40-yard shooting drill using a North American Arms .22 Mini-Revolver, as presented by expert Ian McCollum. The drill simulates a real-world scenario and tests accuracy with a small backup firearm at an extended distance, highlighting the importance of marksmanship under pressure.

This guide outlines the pathway to Olympic shooting, emphasizing 10m Air Pistol and 25m Sport Pistol as accessible entry points. Instruction from a competitive shooter highlights key equipment, training resources like USA Shooting and CMP, and the Olympic selection process. Beginners are encouraged to start with Bullseye shooting in the US using .22 LR pistols.

This short video tests the ballistic resistance of a Husqvarna Gold S1520 industrial saw blade against various calibers. While a .22 LR and 9mm leave minimal marks, a .44 Magnum causes significant deformation. A 5.56 NATO Green Tip round, however, penetrates the blade easily, demonstrating the limitations of the material against higher-powered rifle rounds.

This video provides a firsthand account of a day at SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range, offering insights into new gear and firearm testing. The host, Jarod, demonstrates the use of electronic ear protection, target launchers, and various suppressed firearms, including AR-style rifles and shotguns. The experience highlights hands-on product evaluation from a retailer's perspective.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistics test where a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary is used as a target to test the penetration power of various calibers, from .22 LR to .223 Rem. The Yee Yee Life host, a firearms enthusiast, showcases safe handling and provides a visual comparison of how different rounds interact with the book, culminating in a .223 round that passes completely through and impacts a cinder block.

This guide details the operation of the electronic trigger on the Hammerli 152 target pistol, a unique 1970s firearm based on the Martini-Henry action. It covers activation sequences using the indicator lights and the trigger pull mechanism. Instruction is provided by an expert with high authority, demonstrating specialized target shooting equipment.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between the .44 Magnum and .50 Action Express calibers, featuring a Magnum Research Desert Eagle and a Ruger Super Redhawk. The host, demonstrating high authority, conducts a series of tests including penetration through lumber, steel, sand, and concrete, followed by ballistic gel testing with hollow-point rounds. The analysis highlights differences in muzzle energy, penetration, and wound channel, ultimately questioning the cost-to-performance ratio of the .50 AE.

This video provides an in-depth, experimental comparison between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges, utilizing a chronograph and various barrier materials. The host, demonstrating high expertise through empirical testing, reveals significant performance differences, particularly in barrier penetration, with 5.56x45mm NATO generally outperforming .223 Remington.

This video from Banana Ballistics explores the surprising lethality of "less lethal" shotgun ammunition. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and plywood, the host demonstrates that rounds like bean bags and high-velocity .410 rubber buckshot can cause significant damage, challenging the common perception of these rounds as entirely non-lethal. The testing highlights the importance of understanding ammunition performance beyond its intended classification.

This video provides an objective comparison of 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers through a series of rigorous tests including lumber, sand, concrete, and ballistics gel. The host, leveraging specialized equipment like a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph and digital calipers, presents data on velocity, penetration, and expansion. While .40 S&W showed competitive performance in some tests, the analysis concludes with a preference for 9mm due to its higher capacity and lower recoil, highlighting the importance of practical considerations beyond raw ballistics.
