Duration: 5:04

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a Glock 19 firing 9mm Full Metal Jacket ammunition through multiple stacked tuna cans. The instructor, Edwin Sarkissian, tests how many cans a single round can pass through, providing a visual representation of projectile energy transfer and penetration depth. He also discusses shooting at an angle to influence trajectory and impact.

Quick Summary

A Glock 19 firing 9mm Full Metal Jacket ammunition successfully penetrated 13 stacked tuna cans. This test demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the 9mm round, which created a larger hole than a previous AR-15 test. The instructor also discusses the effect of shooting at an angle on projectile trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tuna cans can a Glock 19 with 9mm FMJ ammunition penetrate?

In this test, a Glock 19 firing 9mm Full Metal Jacket ammunition successfully penetrated 13 stacked tuna cans. This demonstrates significant projectile energy and penetration capability for the 9mm round.

What type of ammunition was used in the Glock 19 for the tuna can test?

The Glock 19 was loaded with 9mm Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition for the tuna can penetration test. FMJ rounds are known for their ability to penetrate targets effectively due to their solid construction.

Does shooting at an angle affect firearm accuracy or penetration?

Shooting at an angle can influence projectile trajectory, causing it to descend. While not directly tested for accuracy in this scenario, the angle can alter the point of impact and the way a projectile interacts with a target.

How does the penetration of a 9mm round compare to an AR-15 in this test?

In a previous test, an AR-15 penetrated 10 out of 13 tuna cans. The 9mm round from the Glock 19, however, went through all 13 cans and created a larger hole, suggesting different penetration dynamics.
