Duration: 6:52

This video tests Sellier & Bellot 10mm 180gr JHP ammunition fired from a TMW Arrow Survival Pistol with a 10-inch barrel and pistol brace into clear ballistic gel. The test reveals variable penetration depths, with some rounds showing significant expansion and others losing their core. Subsequent tests with more rounds demonstrated more consistent performance, with expansion and adequate penetration deemed suitable for defense.

Quick Summary

Sellier & Bellot 10mm 180gr JHP ammunition fired from a 10-inch pistol brace setup achieved consistent penetration depths between 16.8 and 20.1 inches in ballistic gel after initial variable results. The JHP bullets reliably expanded, even through denim, indicating suitability for self-defense.
