Hornady CCI 30gr V-Max & Remington 33gr Accutip .22WMR Ballistic Gel Test at 50 & 100 Yards

This video from 704 Tactical provides a practical assessment of the North American Arms .22 Mag Mini-Revolver for self-defense. Through ballistic testing into a clay block, the content creator, identified as an experienced firearms reviewer, demonstrates the bullet's penetration and wound cavity characteristics. The analysis highlights minimal bullet expansion but significant performance for a small-caliber handgun, offering valuable insights for potential users.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test and review of the CCI Uppercut .22 WMR ammunition, conducted by Buckeye Ballistics. The review details the performance of this 40-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) round, focusing on penetration and expansion through various mediums, and compares its effectiveness to other common defensive calibers. The instructor's authoritative tone and use of specialized equipment highlight the E-E-A-T demonstrated in this analysis.

This video presents a ballistic gelatin test comparing Federal Punch and Winchester Silvertip .22 WMR ammunition fired from a Taurus 942 pistol with a 3-inch barrel. The test focuses on penetration depth, wound cavity creation, and bullet expansion. The presenter notes that neither ammunition expanded significantly from the short barrel, but both demonstrated tumbling, creating notable wound channels. The Federal Punch generally outperformed the Winchester Silvertip in terms of wound cavity size and consistent tumbling.

This ballistic gel test compares the Federal Speer TNT .22 WMR and Remington AccuTip .22 WMR. The Speer TNT exhibited rapid, explosive expansion with very shallow penetration (under 4 inches), potentially limiting its effectiveness on bone. The AccuTip demonstrated more controlled expansion and significantly deeper penetration (8 inches), making it a more robust option for various applications. The test highlights the distinct performance characteristics of different bullet designs within the same caliber.

This video from Exile Armory LLC showcases a variety of firearms available for purchase, highlighting specific models, calibers, and prices. The presenters discuss new sponsorships, including Base Racing Fuel, and mention other local businesses supporting their racing endeavors. The video also features a segment on firearm safety and a motivational message about kindness and avoiding negativity.

This video reviews several revolvers that, despite their design intent, have garnered reputations for being frustrating to shoot or own. The discussion highlights how buyer expectations often clash with real-world performance, leading to dissatisfaction. Revolvers like the Charter Arms Mag Pug, EAA Windicator, Taurus Judge, and lightweight Smith & Wesson models are examined for issues ranging from inconsistent manufacturing and heavy triggers to sharp recoil and unexpected handling characteristics.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
