ProChrono DLX Chronograph Review & Range Test. Something to Play With During the Ammo Shortage!

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a detailed test of various firearms against a life-sized Velociraptor replica to determine what it would take to defeat one. Host Scott, alongside Chris from Ballistic Dummy Lab, tests handguns from .22LR up to .500 Magnum, shotguns including a Spas-12, and rifles ranging from .45-70 to a .4 Bore. The experiment provides insights into the stopping power required for different threats, with a focus on practical application and the effectiveness of various calibers against a simulated large predator.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers when shot into a frozen lake. An experienced instructor demonstrates how a .22 Magnum had minimal effect, a .380 Auto and 9mm showed moderate penetration, a .45 ACP performed similarly to the 9mm, and a 7.62x39mm rifle round from an AK-47 created significant damage.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a commercial 'quebra-queixo' (likely a type of barrier or target material) against various calibers. It demonstrates how different ammunition types, from .22 LR to 6.5 Creedmoor, impact and damage the material, providing a visual assessment of penetration and structural integrity. The testing highlights the significant destructive power of higher calibers like 7.62x39mm and 6.5 Creedmoor.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms against drywall, ranging from a .22LR to a .50 BMG. The host, Parker, demonstrates how many sheets of drywall each caliber can penetrate, providing a visual comparison of their stopping power in a simulated home environment. The experiment highlights significant differences in projectile energy and effectiveness across calibers.

Ted from Line45 reviews Lehigh Defense's Controlled Fracturing (CF) ammunition, highlighting its unique design where the bullet splits into multiple 'petals' upon impact while the core continues to penetrate. This creates multiple wound channels, offering enhanced tissue disruption without sacrificing terminal ballistics. The ammunition is CNC machined from solid copper, lead-free, and demonstrates consistent performance across various calibers in gel tests.

This video details the initial shooting experience with a Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan Bush rifle in .35 Whelen, highlighting common issues such as light primer strikes and the tendency for the rifle to shoot low. The presenter tests various ammunition types, including Remington Core-Lokt, Winchester Power-Point, and Buffalo Bore, documenting performance and potential malfunctions. The content emphasizes the importance of thorough testing and evaluating online information regarding firearm reliability.

This guide details the field strip and reassembly process for the Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun, as demonstrated by the Tools&Targets host. It covers the removal and reinstallation of key internal components, emphasizing the platform's simplicity for maintenance. The host, possessing high authority and hands-on experience, provides practical insights into the shotgun's design and operation.

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.
