This video provides an expert-level analysis of Fort Scott Munitions 9mm T.U.I. ammunition, featuring extensive ballistic testing by Iraqveteran8888. The expert instructor demonstrates the projectile's performance through various barriers, including ballistic gel, drywall, and pine boards, comparing results from different barrel lengths. The T.U.I. round is evaluated for its unique 'Tumble Upon Impact' design and its effectiveness in simulated self-defense scenarios.

Quick Summary

Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. 115gr ammunition from a 16.1" barrel achieved 1310 fps and 438 ft/lbs, penetrating 24 inches of gel with 100% weight retention. From a 4.6" barrel, it reached 1115 fps and 318 ft/lbs, penetrating 22 inches. The T.U.I. round is 'barrier blind' and designed to yaw upon impact, creating a larger wound channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. ammunition perform in ballistic gel?

Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. 115gr ammunition from a 16.1" barrel achieved 1310 fps and 438 ft/lbs, penetrating 24 inches of gel with 100% weight retention. From a 4.6" barrel, it reached 1115 fps and 318 ft/lbs, penetrating 22 inches.

What is the 'barrier blind' characteristic of Fort Scott T.U.I. ammunition?

'Barrier blind' means the ammunition maintains its terminal performance, like expansion or yawing, even after passing through intermediate barriers such as drywall, wood, or glass. The T.U.I. round demonstrated this by penetrating multiple pine boards cleanly.

How does barrel length affect the performance of Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. ammunition?

A longer barrel, like the 16.1" on the Kel-Tec Sub 2000, significantly increases the velocity and energy of the Fort Scott T.U.I. 9mm round compared to a shorter pistol barrel (4.6"). This results in greater penetration and terminal effect.

What kind of wound channel does Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. create?

The T.U.I. projectile is designed to yaw or tumble upon impact, especially after penetrating barriers. This tumbling action creates a larger, more irregular wound channel compared to a projectile that maintains its shape and penetrates straight.
