This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Train & Protect 9mm 115-grain ammunition, evaluating its performance through a heavy clothing barrier. The test involved measuring muzzle velocity with chronographs and assessing projectile expansion and penetration in gel blocks fired from a Glock 19 Gen 5 and an MC9. The results indicated poor performance, with projectiles failing to expand and exhibiting excessive penetration, attributed to the projectile design clogging with cloth.

This review tests Fiocchi's Extrema XTP 115-grain defensive ammunition. The test involved firing the rounds into ballistic gel using a 3.2-inch barrel Walther PPS and a 4-inch barrel Walther P99. While the ammunition performed well in the gel, the recovered bullet showed less expansion and retained weight than advertised, weighing 107 grains out of the original 115 and expanding to 0.4 inches.

This review tests Winchester Kinetic HE 115-grain ammunition, noting its advertised velocity of 1240 fps and 392 ft-lbs of energy. The ammunition demonstrated reliability and accuracy in a Walther PPS and a Walther P99. In ballistic gel tests with a Glock 19, the round expanded significantly, remained intact, and penetrated about three-quarters of the way through the gel, making it an impressive affordable conventional hollow point.

This review of Winchester Active Duty 9mm ammunition, often cited as similar to US Army issue, focuses on its performance characteristics. The testing highlights its high velocity and energy output, suggesting it's a potent round suitable for defensive applications or duty use where reliable cycling is paramount. While accuracy was not the primary focus, the ammunition demonstrated significant energy, potentially exceeding standard NATO specifications.

This video provides an objective and analytical comparison of Federal Premium's new 9mm Punch 115gr and 124gr self-defense ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority through standardized testing, found the 124gr load superior in this specific test due to better velocity, energy, and expansion from a short-barreled pistol.

This video details a ballistics test of Steinel 185-grain solid copper hollow-point .45 ACP ammunition fired from two 1911 pistols: a Taurus Commander with a 4.25-inch barrel and a Rock Island Armory with a 5-inch barrel. The test measured velocity, gel penetration, and projectile expansion, comparing the performance between the two barrel lengths. The presenter, experienced in ammunition testing, provides insights into the ammunition's performance relative to advertised specifications and its effectiveness.
