CCI FMJ .17 HMR vs .22 WMR 22 Magnum Ballistic Gel Test

This video compares the .22 LR, .17 HMR, and .22 WMR (Magnum) through various barrier tests. The .17 HMR showed surprising performance in lumber and steel, while the .22 WMR's hollow point excelled in ballistic gel. Despite varying results, the .22 WMR generally offered more penetration and energy than the .22 LR across tests.

This video provides an expert review of the Savage Arms B Series Timber Tactical rifle, highlighting its features for competition shooting.

This review by CajunBoyJake tests the accuracy of a North American Arms Mini Revolver with a 1-inch barrel at various distances. The speaker demonstrates a unique sight alignment technique and concludes that 15 yards is the maximum effective range for this firearm, primarily classifying it as a 'get-off-me' defensive tool due to its inherent limitations in precision aiming and accuracy at longer distances. The video also touches on its discreet carry potential.

This review by Buckeye Ballistics provides expert-level insight into the CCI Uppercut .22 WMR ammunition, specifically its performance in ballistic gel tests. The analysis highlights its effectiveness from a 3-inch barrel handgun, demonstrating consistent expansion and penetration that rivals some larger caliber defensive rounds, particularly when tested through denim. The data suggests this rimfire load is a viable option for personal defense.

This video provides an unboxing and range test of the North American Arms (NAA) Sentinel micro revolver in .22 WMR. It highlights the firearm's presentation in a lockable case, the ease of loading its swing-out cylinder compared to other NAA models, and its performance during a live-fire demonstration. The review covers recoil management and functional reliability of this compact self-defense option.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
