Lehigh Xtreme Defense Ammunition

This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests various 10mm ammunition types against approximately 100 pounds of clay blocks. The host, Scott, evaluates penetration depth, cavity creation, and bullet integrity for different grain weights and bullet designs, including Underwood Ammo's Extreme Defender, Extreme Penetrator, jacketed hollow-points, and hard cast lead bullets. The results highlight the distinct performance characteristics of each ammunition type against a soft medium.

This video demonstrates how hollow point ammunition performance can be significantly degraded when passing through barriers like a car door. It highlights that material buildup within the hollow point cavity can prevent proper expansion, negating its intended effect. The test uses a high-speed camera to visualize bullet behavior after impacting water and a simulated car door.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing two .38 Super self-defense ammunition types: Colt Defense (DoubleTap) 124gr JHP and Lehigh Defense 115gr Controlled Fracturing. The test, performed from a Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911, reveals significant differences in terminal performance. The Colt ammunition failed to expand, tumbling and exiting the gel block with no expansion, while the Lehigh ammunition fractured as designed, with its fragments and core achieving substantial penetration and spread.

This video conducts a clear ballistics gel test of various 30 Super Carry ammunition types, comparing performance from both a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus handgun and a Hi-Point 3095 carbine. The test highlights significant velocity differences between the handgun and carbine, leading to varied projectile performance, particularly in terms of expansion and fragmentation when exceeding designed velocities. Monolithic copper bullets demonstrated consistent penetration without expansion, while jacketed hollow points showed extreme fragmentation at higher carbine velocities.

This expert analysis from Garand Thumb delves into the lethality of .300 Blackout, comparing supersonic and subsonic rounds through rigorous ballistic gel and 'meat target' testing. The video highlights the caliber's versatility for military and law enforcement, emphasizing projectile selection for optimal performance in various scenarios. Instruction is provided by a recognized subject matter expert in tactical firearms.

This guide details the expert testing of the Lehigh Defense 9mm 115-grain Controlled Fracturing bullet, utilizing a Wilson Combat SFX9 and ballistic gelatin. The analysis covers bullet mechanics, performance through bare gel, heavy clothing, and Level 3A body armor, emphasizing its terminal effectiveness and safety features for law enforcement and civilian self-defense. Instruction is provided by industry leaders like Bill Wilson, Ken Hackathorn, and Paul Howe.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.

This guide details the tool-less field stripping process for the Beretta ARX-160, as demonstrated by a Beretta factory representative. It covers the quick-release barrel, stock, trigger group, and bolt assembly, emphasizing ease of maintenance. The representative highlights the rifle's modularity and ambidextrous features, noting its current military availability with future civilian plans.

This entry details the Fostech .50 Cal Drum Magazine, designed for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, featuring a 20-round capacity and billet machined aluminum construction. It also touches upon the Fostech Rader .308 rifle. The information is presented with high technical focus from a manufacturer representative.

This video from ARFCOM News details a ballistic gel test of Remington's 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi Model M92 carbine. The test highlights how carbine-length barrels significantly enhance .357 Magnum performance, achieving velocities comparable to some .300 Blackout loads and demonstrating substantial penetration and expansion in ballistic gel. The analysis touches on terminal ballistics theories and the unique behavior of high-velocity pistol rounds fired from rifles.
