This video provides a detailed comparison of Federal Punch and Winchester Silver Tip 22LR ammunition fired from a Beretta 21A Bobcat pistol with a 2.5-inch barrel. The test involved chronographing velocities and testing penetration and terminal performance in ballistic gel. The Winchester Silver Tip surprisingly outperformed the Federal Punch in gel testing, demonstrating effective segmentation despite lower velocity.

Quick Summary

In a ballistic gel test using a Beretta 21A Bobcat, the Winchester Silver Tip 22LR demonstrated superior performance over Federal Punch. Despite lower velocity (894 fps vs 1051 fps), the Silver Tip effectively segmented into three pieces, achieving 14.75 inches of penetration and a significant wound channel, while the Federal Punch penetrated 12.5 inches and remained intact.
