410 Slug Gel Test AGC BPS ATI STERLING

This video presents a ballistics gel test of Norma Safeguard 124gr 9mm JHP ammunition, fired from a Beretta Nano and a Glock 19. The test evaluates bullet expansion and penetration through four layers of denim and ballistic gel. The instructor notes inconsistent expansion and suggests the ammunition may be underpowered compared to advertised velocities, impacting performance.

This video showcases a custom .410 AR-15 build, nicknamed 'The Riveter' after its appearance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The build utilizes an ATI upper receiver and a standard AR-15 lower, demonstrating the modularity of the platform. The speaker highlights the firearm's ability to chamber .410 shotgun shells and its rapid-fire capability during a live-fire demonstration on an outdoor range.

This video tests Saber Blade Black Tip 5.56x45mm ammunition in 62-grain and 75-grain weights. The test includes velocity measurements using a chronograph and terminal ballistics testing with gel blocks behind a heavy clothing barrier. Both weights demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, with the 75-grain round achieving slightly deeper penetration.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of four Federal Premium HST 9mm ammunition variants: 124gr, 124gr +P, 147gr, and 150gr HST Micro. The host, an experienced gear reviewer, utilizes standardized ballistics gel and an FBI heavy clothing protocol with a Glock 43 to measure penetration and expansion. The 150gr HST Micro is recommended for sub-compact pistols due to its performance in short barrels.

This video presents a ballistics gel test of Federal Fusion 150-grain 300 Blackout ammunition fired from a 9-inch barrel AR-15. The test provides insights into penetration depth, permanent wound cavity, and bullet expansion, with the speaker considering this round for home defense. The results indicate significant penetration and expansion, with the bullet reaching 25 inches and creating a wound channel of approximately 13.5 inches.

This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test of Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 Buckshot fired from a Bond Arms Derringer. The reviewer, Mrgunsngear Channel, analyzes pellet spread, penetration depth, and pellet deformation, offering insights into the load's effectiveness for self-defense. The test highlights the challenges of achieving consistent velocity with short-barreled firearms and compares the results to other common defensive calibers.

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.
