Crazy 9mm Ammo

This video from Civilian Tactical reviews the incredibly volatile Havok Halo rounds from Hickory Flat Boars. The host demonstrates their high reactivity, showing a smoking crater in dirt and significant charring/melting in a ballistic gelatin test. A strong warning is issued about the fire hazard these rounds pose, especially in dry conditions, due to intense sparks and heat upon impact with hard targets. The host's expertise is evident in his handling and safety demonstrations.

This video provides a cautionary introduction to Havok Halo ammunition from Hickory Flat Boars, highlighting its extreme volatility and reactivity. Expert instruction demonstrates its behavior on soft ground and ballistic gel, showing an incendiary/explosive-like reaction. The speaker, possessing high authority and expertise in safe firearm handling and specialized ammunition, warns of significant fire hazards when impacting steel targets in dry conditions.

This video tests the 'ultra violent' 9mm Havoc round and the Enigwatch Centennial Safe. The Havoc round, filled with an explosive compound, demonstrates significant destructive potential in ballistic gel and hog meat tests, though it's not recommended for self-defense due to its extreme nature. The Enigwatch safe, rated for 9mm, withstands multiple 9mm impacts, protecting its contents, though internal electrical components sustain damage.

This review by Boondock Ballistician critically examines the G2 Research R.I.P. round, often dismissed as a gimmick. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC), the analysis reveals surprising barrier-blind performance and fragmentation potential, challenging common perceptions. The speaker, demonstrating high-level expertise, suggests design improvements for future iterations of this concept.

This review of the Smith & Wesson M&P Carry Comp 9mm highlights its versatility for concealed carry and combat. The pistol features a 4.2-inch barrel, aluminum frame, and a robust optics mounting system. Notably, it demonstrated exceptional reliability by firing 2000 consecutive rounds without a single malfunction, making it a strong contender in its price range.

Yoki Sturrup outlines three dream firearms for a hypothetical rich scenario, focusing on suppressed shooting for enjoyment. The list includes the Q Honey Badger SBR in 300 Blackout, the H&K SP5 in 9mm with a Rugged Obsidian 9 suppressor, and the FN Scar 17S in .308. The speaker highlights the quiet operation of the Honey Badger, the iconic status of the SP5, and the powerful, albeit recoil-heavy, nature of the Scar 17S.

This comedic skit humorously emphasizes the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It illustrates a handgun malfunction, specifically a stovepipe, and uses a visual gag with a spent casing to drive home the safety message. The creator showcases tactical gear and a Sig Sauer P365 XL, demonstrating firearm handling in a range environment.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a tree. Surprisingly, even the powerful .50 BMG round failed to penetrate the tree completely, demonstrating the significant stopping power of natural barriers against firearms.

This video explores the hypothetical concept of using a human body as a suppressor, simulating the scenario with ballistic gel. A Derya Arms .22 rifle is fired into a ballistic gel head, with the host noting the shot sounded 'dead silent'. The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.
