Gorilla Ammunition Silverback 135gr

This video critically examines the 8.6 Blackout cartridge, questioning its purported advantages, particularly the emphasis on a 1:3 twist rate. The presenter argues that while the cartridge offers more energy than 300 Blackout, its significant bullet drop and limited effective range make it less ideal for hunting compared to other alternatives. The analysis delves into the physics of rotational energy, suggesting its contribution to terminal ballistics is often overstated and that faster twist rates can lead to increased barrel and component wear.

This video reviews Liberty Ammunition's Overwatch .45 ACP self-defense rounds through ballistic gel testing. The instructor, from Tools&Targets, analyzes muzzle velocity from a Glock 30 and a 5-inch 1911, noting significant velocity differences. The gel test reveals distinct fragmentation patterns, with the Glock 30 exhibiting expected fragmentation and the 1911 showing unusual behavior, including a failure to feed and a projectile that largely remained intact, exiting the block differently than expected. The instructor discusses the pros and cons of fragmenting versus non-fragmenting projectiles for self-defense.

This review by Tools&Targets features a ballistic gel test of G9 Defense 9mm External Hollow Point (EHP) ammunition, both standard pressure and Plus P. The instructor, while acknowledging the ammunition's good performance in gel tests, expresses skepticism about its overall value compared to traditional lead hollow points, citing lower energy levels and the availability of similar solid copper fluted rounds. The test utilized a Canik MC9 with a 3.1-inch barrel and a heavy clothing barrier.

This review provides an in-depth analysis of Gorilla Ammunition's 205gr 300BLK subsonic rounds using a Daniel Defense V7 pistol. The expert demonstrates ballistic gel testing, chronograph data, and accuracy assessments, offering insights into the ammunition's performance for defensive and hunting applications. The review highlights the importance of barrel length in achieving optimal bullet expansion with subsonic loads.

This video from Iraqveteran8888 features an expert-level review and testing of two Fort Scott Munitions 5.56 NATO loads: the 55-grain Brushhog (solid copper) and the 62-grain Brasshog (solid brass). The instructor meticulously tests their terminal ballistics through various mediums including ballistic gel with clothing, drywall, watermelons, pine boards, and milk jugs. The analysis focuses on projectile behavior like tumbling and yawing, and their effects on wound channels and penetration.

This video reviews the Federal Hydrashok Deep 9mm 135gr ammunition, highlighting its improved performance over previous versions. The presenter discusses consistent expansion and penetration depths achieved in gel tests, emphasizing its barrier-punching capabilities. The ammunition is presented as a significant improvement, aiming to live up to the lineage of the HST line.
