6.5 Creedmoor EXPLODES in Ballistics Gel #shorts

Published on September 30, 2020
Duration: 0:59

This short demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a 6.5 Creedmoor Barnes 127 Grain LRX bullet fired into 10% ballistics gel at 100 yards. The test highlights the bullet's expansion and the resulting permanent wound cavity. A fascinating secondary effect observed and explained is sonoluminescence, a flash of light caused by the rapid compression of air during the cavity collapse.

Quick Summary

Sonoluminescence is a flash of light seen inside ballistics gel during projectile testing. It occurs when the cavity created by the bullet collapses rapidly, compressing trapped air into a tiny space, causing it to emit light.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sonoluminescence observed in ballistics testing?

Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when subjected to sound or, in this case, the rapid collapse of a cavity created by a projectile.

What bullet was tested in the 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics gel video?

The video tested a Barnes 127 Grain LRX bullet, fired from a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle into 10% ballistics gel at a distance of 100 yards.

How does the Barnes LRX bullet perform in ballistics gel?

The Barnes LRX bullet demonstrated significant expansion, or 'mushrooming,' upon impact, creating a substantial permanent wound cavity in the 10% ballistics gel.

What is the significance of using ballistics gel in firearm testing?

Ballistics gel simulates tissue density and allows for the visualization of a bullet's penetration, expansion, and the resulting wound channel, providing insights into terminal performance.
