Duration: 14:32

This video features a comprehensive test of the Taurus Ultralight 44 Magnum revolver, focusing on its destructive potential. The instructor, experienced with .44 Magnum recoil, demonstrates the firearm's power through various tests including penetration through paper bricks, bubble wrap, watermelons, ballistic gel, and water jugs. The tests highlight the significant recoil of the ultralight model and the terminal ballistics of different .44 Magnum ammunition types.

Quick Summary

The Taurus Ultralight 44 Magnum is an "absolute hand cannon" with recoil amplified by its lightweight design. Tests show .44 Magnum rounds penetrate multiple paper bricks and five rolls of bubble wrap. In ballistic gel, rounds create large wound cavities, with some exhibiting unpredictable trajectories. Watermelon tests result in complete disintegration, and a water jug test shows significant penetration and bullet deformation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Taurus Ultralight 44 Magnum handle recoil?

The Taurus Ultralight 44 Magnum is described as an "absolute hand cannon" with recoil that is significantly more pronounced than other .44 Magnums due to its lightweight construction. The instructor, experienced with .44 Magnum recoil, notes that the ultralight design plays a bigger factor than one might expect.

What was the penetration capability of .44 Magnum rounds in the paper test?

In a test with four bricks of paper, both a 240-grain American Eagle hollow point and a 180-grain hollow point failed to exit the second brick. This indicates that these .44 Magnum rounds have substantial stopping power and penetration within the first two bricks of paper.

How effective is bubble wrap at stopping a .44 Magnum round?

The video's test showed that bubble wrap is not very effective at stopping .44 Magnum rounds. A 225-grain Hornady FTX bullet penetrated through all five rolls of bubble wrap used in the test, demonstrating its limited ballistic resistance.

What happened when .44 Magnum rounds were fired into ballistic gel?

Testing in ballistic gel revealed significant damage. The 225-grain FTX created a large wound cavity but curved and exited the second block. The 240-grain XTP stopped in the second block with a good cavity, while the 240-grain American Eagle had the smallest cavity and also stopped in the second block.
