This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 9mm Sig Sauer P365 using ribeye steaks as a ballistic medium. A Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) round passed through all 12 steaks, while a Federal Hydra-Shok hollow point round was stopped in the 10th steak, demonstrating significant expansion and tissue damage. The experiment highlights the difference in terminal ballistics between FMJ and expanding hollow point ammunition.
