When Is Best Millimeter Not Really Best? 10mm S&B 180gr JHP Gel Test

This video features a ballistic gel test and review of Federal Power-Shok 10MM ammunition, specifically the 200-grain load. The test is conducted using both a Magnum Research 1911 and a Glock 20, simulating heavy clothing conditions. The content focuses on the performance of the ammunition for hunting and self-defense applications.

This video features Mr. Madness conducting an ice penetration test comparing seven different calibers from .22LR to suppressed 5.56 NATO. The test visually demonstrates the significant increase in penetration power and ice displacement as caliber increases, with the 5.56 NATO round creating the largest crater. The host provides a clear, comparative analysis of each caliber's impact.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a direct penetration test comparing 9mm and 10mm calibers. Using standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, the test demonstrates the superior penetration depth of the 10mm cartridge over the 9mm. The host, Scott, provides clear visual evidence and concise results, highlighting the differences in terminal ballistics between these popular handgun rounds.

This video compares the performance of Buffalo Bore and Grizzly 180-grain 10mm ammunition. The test involves shooting both brands through heavy clothing into ballistic gel, using a Magnum Research MR1911 pistol. The goal is to determine which of these powerful 10mm self-defense loads performs better. The video emphasizes controlled testing on a private range and explicitly states no firearms or ammunition are for sale.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a prison door against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, .380 ACP, .45 ACP, 9mm, and 10mm were stopped by the metal door, the .50 AE Desert Eagle achieved full penetration. The .50 BMG sniper rifle easily defeated the door, a concrete bucket, and a mannequin.

This video features an authoritative speaker from 'Pro Gun 45' expressing a strong preference for the 1911 platform chambered in .45 ACP. The speaker considers other calibers in a 1911, such as 9mm, to be sacrilegious, with 10mm being the only other acceptable option. The visual evidence includes a banner with 'Pro Gun' and imagery of bullet casings, reinforcing the channel's focus.

This video features a former Navy SEAL, Jeff Gonzales, providing expert feedback on a home defense AR-15 build. He critiques the rifle's accessories, particularly the sling, and emphasizes the importance of reliable optics and the benefits of a suppressor for indoor use. The discussion highlights practical considerations for effective home defense firearms.

The Beretta ARX-160, showcased at SHOT Show 2011, is a modular, piston-driven rifle featuring ambidextrous controls and tool-less disassembly. Its design emphasizes adaptability with multiple sling points, interchangeable magazine releases, and a quick-change barrel system. While currently limited to military/defense use, future law enforcement and civilian variants are planned.

Fostech unveiled a 20-round .50 BMG drum magazine for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, constructed from billet machined aluminum. They also introduced the Fostech Rader, a lightweight .308 rifle featuring a proprietary magnesium aluminum alloy and ambidextrous controls. The drum mag is priced at $1599 with a Q3/Q4 availability, while the Rader rifle is expected around $3000 with a Q4 release.

Testing a Remington 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum load from a 16-inch Rossi M92 reveals impressive performance, achieving 1709.6 fps. The round exhibited significant fragmentation and penetration of 20.1 inches in ballistic gel, behaving more like a rifle cartridge due to its velocity. This challenges typical handgun round terminal ballistics expectations.
