First Look At The New 10mm 200gr HST From Federal!

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Scorpion 10mm 180 Grain JHP ammunition, comparing its performance from a Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Glock 20 (4.6-inch barrel). The instructor, Tools&Targets, critiques the ammunition's claimed velocity and energy, deeming it "weak 10mm" compared to premium loads. Despite this, the gel test shows good expansion and penetration from both firearms, with the Glock 20 achieving slightly better results.

This video provides an expert-level review of Federal Premium HST 147 Grain +P 9mm ammunition, featuring objective ballistic gel testing. The host, demonstrating high authority, uses a LabRadar chronograph and standardized protocols to measure muzzle velocity, penetration depth, and projectile expansion from both a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ and a Canik METE MC9. The results confirm the HST's consistent performance and effectiveness for self-defense applications.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Power-Shok 10mm Auto 200-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test was conducted using a 5-inch barrel Magnum Research 1911 and a 4.6-inch barrel Glock G20, with chronograph readings and gel penetration/expansion measurements recorded. The presenter notes that while the ammunition performed adequately for its advertised purpose, the velocity and energy levels are considered low for the 10mm Auto caliber.

This comprehensive ballistic gel test evaluates Federal's 230 Grain Hi-Shok JHP .45 ACP ammunition. The test, conducted by an experienced instructor, utilized a Glock 30 and a Rock Island 1911, measuring velocities, penetration, and projectile performance through a heavy clothing barrier. The results indicated a failure to expand for both firearms, with significant differences in penetration depth and projectile behavior.

This video provides an in-depth look at the .45 ACP cartridge, dispelling myths and highlighting its modern performance. It covers the cartridge's historical significance, its effectiveness in various platforms from revolvers to submachine guns, and its surprising manageability in terms of recoil. The content also explores enhanced .45 ACP variants and its ease of reloading, emphasizing its consistent power and reliability for self-defense and combat scenarios.

This video provides a critical analysis of Hornady Black 10mm 155gr XTP ammunition through rigorous ballistic gel testing. The host, an experienced reviewer, uses professional equipment like LabRadar to measure velocities from both a Glock 29 and Glock 20. The results indicate that while the ammunition performed adequately in terms of expansion and penetration, the velocities achieved were significantly lower than advertised, leading to a conclusion that it performs more like a 'spicy .40 S&W' than true 10mm power.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.

This guide details the tool-less field stripping process for the Beretta ARX-160, as demonstrated by a Beretta factory representative. It covers the quick-release barrel, stock, trigger group, and bolt assembly, emphasizing ease of maintenance. The representative highlights the rifle's modularity and ambidextrous features, noting its current military availability with future civilian plans.

This entry details the Fostech .50 Cal Drum Magazine, designed for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, featuring a 20-round capacity and billet machined aluminum construction. It also touches upon the Fostech Rader .308 rifle. The information is presented with high technical focus from a manufacturer representative.

This video from ARFCOM News details a ballistic gel test of Remington's 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi Model M92 carbine. The test highlights how carbine-length barrels significantly enhance .357 Magnum performance, achieving velocities comparable to some .300 Blackout loads and demonstrating substantial penetration and expansion in ballistic gel. The analysis touches on terminal ballistics theories and the unique behavior of high-velocity pistol rounds fired from rifles.
