Pocket Rocket vs Super Snub!...Super Vel .380 & .38 Special +P Self-Defense AMMO Test!

This video evaluates the performance of the resurrected Super Vel .38 Special +P 90gr JHP ammunition. Using a Smith & Wesson Model 638 revolver and a Phantom V642 high-speed camera, the test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gel and heavy clothing simulations. The ammunition, historically significant as Super Vel invented the hollow point, is tested for its effectiveness. Velocities are also recorded and analyzed, showing an average of 1,251 fps.

This video from Plinkify USA highlights an impressive upgrade for AK firearms, specifically a "FRT" (presumably a Fire Control Group replacement) that significantly enhances performance. The uploader describes it as "hands down the best three hundo you'll spend this year," noting its ability to handle a high volume of ammunition, including .223 rounds, even with a drum magazine. The upgrade was tested on a Palmetto State Armory Krink and is praised as a valuable modification.

The video details recent ammunition and firearm accessory acquisitions. The presenter discusses purchases from Rural King, including 6.5 Creedmoor and 380 ACP, and an online order of Super Vel 223 Remington and 380 ACP. Local shop purchases include 410 slugs, 5.7x28mm, 40 S&W, and 41 Magnum ammunition. A new Smith & Wesson Model 57 revolver in 41 Magnum is also introduced, alongside Vortex 1-8x LPVOs.

This video tests the performance of 160gr Super Vel SCHP ammunition fired from a 10.25" barrel, comparing it to a previous test with a shorter barrel. The test uses a TNW Aero Survival pistol and a high-speed camera to analyze penetration depth, retained weight, and expansion in both bare gel and heavy clothing scenarios. Ballistic gel data is provided for each test, along with detailed velocity measurements. The video aims to educate viewers on the technical aspects of ammunition performance, specifically how increased barrel length affects projectile characteristics.

This video features a ballistic gel test of Super Vel's 10mm 160gr SCHP (Solid Copper Hollow Point) ammunition fired from a 4.5" EAA Witness pistol. The test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gel and heavy clothing scenarios. Velocities are recorded and analyzed, showing an average of 1,119 fps with a spread of 25 fps. The video highlights the dependable performance of solid copper projectiles despite potential velocity differences compared to lead-core ammunition, emphasizing its technical aspects as an educational resource.

This video details a comprehensive terminal ballistics test of Federal Syntech Defense 9mm ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, uses professional equipment like LabRadar and standardized protocols to evaluate projectile performance in ballistic gel through a clothing barrier. The test compares results from a Canik Mete MC9 and a Glock 17 Gen 4, providing objective data on velocity, segmentation, and penetration depth.

This video provides an expert-level unboxing and range test of the Taurus Model 856 .38 Special revolver. The host, an experienced firearms enthusiast, conducts empirical trigger weight testing and side-by-side comparisons. He demonstrates proficiency in both single and double-action shooting, achieving tight groups at various distances and with different ammunition types. The review highlights the revolver's accuracy, reliability, and comfortable handling, recommending it as a solid choice for a .38 Special snub-nose.

This comprehensive review from Tools&Targets analyzes the performance of three top .380 ACP ammunition loads: Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep, Underwood Xtreme Penetrator, and Winchester 95-grain FMJ. Using a Ruger LCP Max and standardized ballistic gel testing through a heavy clothing barrier, the analysis provides objective data on velocity, penetration, and expansion. The expert assessment highlights the practical implications for concealed carry and self-defense scenarios.
