Duration: 5:48

This video provides a low-budget ballistics test comparing G2 Research Telos 9mm 92gr +P hollow-point ammunition against standard Aguila 15gr FMJ 9mm rounds. The test uses soda cans and water bottles to simulate terminal effects, highlighting the Telos round's unique three-prong fragmentation design versus the FMJ's through-and-through penetration. The reviewer notes the significant difference in exit wound size.

Quick Summary

The G2 Research Telos 9mm 92gr +P round is designed for enhanced terminal ballistics, fragmenting into three pieces upon impact while the base continues forward. This creates a significant wound channel, as demonstrated in a low-budget test comparing it to FMJ rounds which showed minimal expansion and only through-and-through penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the unique design of the G2 Research Telos 9mm 92gr +P round?

The G2 Research Telos 9mm 92gr +P round is engineered to break apart into three distinct fragments upon impact. The base of the projectile continues to travel forward, creating a unique three-prong effect with forward penetration.

How does the Telos 9mm compare to FMJ ammunition in terminal ballistics?

In this low-budget test using soda cans, the Telos 9mm hollow-point created a significantly larger exit wound compared to the standard FMJ round, which passed straight through with minimal effect. FMJ is designed for penetration, not expansion.

What firearms were used in the Telos 9mm ballistics test?

The reviewer used a Springfield XD-E 9mm pistol for the Aguila FMJ test and a Taurus PT 111 9mm pistol for the G2 Research Telos 9mm +P test. These were chosen for a low-budget comparison.

What are the advantages of hollow-point ammunition like the Telos 9mm?

Hollow-point ammunition, such as the Telos 9mm, is designed to expand upon impact, creating larger wound channels and increasing stopping power. This contrasts with FMJ rounds, which are built for deep penetration.
