Ballistic Gel testing Just a Useless Gimmick! (Doesn't Tell You Anything Relevant!)

This video, "The REAL Way To Assess A Gel Block," focuses on evaluating ballistic gel performance. The creator, Boondock Ballistician, hints at forthcoming videos on The Nova Group channel where gel blocks will be physically cut and on BrassFacts discussing the implications. The description also includes links to the creator's Instagram and Subscribe Star for support. While the primary focus is gel block assessment, it's implied this is in the context of firearm terminal ballistics analysis.

This YouTube video, titled "THE DEFINITIVE 556 Test With Ballistic Gel," appears to be an in-depth evaluation of the .556 caliber, likely focusing on its terminal ballistics and performance. While the description doesn't explicitly state the firearm used, the title strongly suggests a rifle or carbine chambered in 5.56mm. The content is expected to involve live-fire testing with ballistic gel, providing visual data on projectile behavior. The creator, "thelastamericanoutlaw," also promotes their Instagram and Patreon, indicating a community-focused approach to their content.

This video tests M855 Green Tip 5.56mm ammunition in ballistic gel, demonstrating its terminal ballistics. The 62-grain projectile creates a significant wound channel, expanding to 2 inches after 3 inches of penetration. While M855A1 has replaced it for some professionals, M855 remains available to civilians.

This YouTube Short features a ballistic gel test comparing two different 70-grain ammunition offerings. The video title explicitly mentions "70 Grain Barnes VS Gel," indicating a comparison of projectile performance and terminal ballistics. The associated social media links suggest the creator is "The Last American Outlaw," likely a channel focused on firearms and related content.

This video investigates the terminal ballistics of .22LR at point-blank range, specifically its effectiveness as an 'assassin's bullet'. Experiments using a ballistic dummy head reveal that hollow-point .22LR rounds, like the CCI Stinger, create a contained, muffled shot with no exit wound, trapping evidence. Ball rounds, such as the CCI Mini-Mag, produce a louder report and an exit wound, allowing pressure to escape.

This YouTube video, titled "Chumbinho de espingarda é preciso mesmo? Descubra a verdade!" (Is shotgun lead shot accurate? Discover the truth!), aims to investigate and reveal the accuracy of lead shot for shotguns. The title suggests a focus on testing and providing definitive answers about the performance of this specific ammunition type in a shotgun platform. The content likely involves practical demonstrations and analysis to address common questions or misconceptions regarding shotgun lead shot accuracy.

This review identifies five of the worst firearms for concealed carry, excluding specific models like the Remington R51 and small Kel-Tecs. The Bersa Thunder is criticized for poor metallurgy, single-action revolvers for slow operation, the Taurus Judge for poor accuracy/penetration, the Desert Eagle for size and reliability, and the Kel-Tec PMR-30 for extreme unreliability and a suboptimal caliber.

This review covers five new handguns available for under $200, focusing on budget-friendly options for self-defense and concealed carry. The Hi-Point CF380 is noted for reliability despite its bulk, while the SCCY CPX-2 offers a refined 9mm option. The Taurus 709 Slim is praised for concealability, and the original Ruger LCP is a proven pocket pistol. The Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 is highlighted as the best overall value with its 13-round capacity.

This video outlines critical 'don'ts' for concealed carry, focusing on safety and accessibility. It strongly advises against methods like Mexican carry, pocket carry without a holster, and small-of-back carry due to risks of accidental discharge, poor retention, and injury. The speaker also critiques ill-fitting or overly complex holsters, off-body carry in bags, and ankle carry, emphasizing the importance of proper gear and secure, accessible firearm placement for effective self-defense.

This review breaks down the best 1911 pistol options across different price points and intended uses. It recommends the Springfield Armory GI series for beginners, Kimber Pro Carry and Para Slim Hawg for concealed carry, and the Springfield Armory Loaded for feature-rich value.
