Published on December 13, 2022
Duration: 12:40

This video tests the lethality of the smallest gun in Demolition Ranch's collection, a Colt .25 ACP, against custom wax ballistic targets. While the .25 ACP shows limited effectiveness, especially with FMJ rounds, higher calibers like 9mm, .50 AE, .45-70, 12 gauge, and .300 Win Mag demonstrate significantly more power, easily penetrating or destroying the targets.

Quick Summary

The Colt .25 ACP showed limited lethality in ballistic tests, with FMJ rounds penetrating a custom wax torso and hollow points expanding inside. The small pistol also experienced jamming issues with cheaper ammunition during range testing.
