Is 22LR Better Than 9MM?
This video explores the effectiveness of .22LR, .380 ACP, and 9mm calibers for self-defense using cantaloupe as a ballistic analog. While .22LR has minimal recoil and is inexpensive, it requires multiple well-placed shots to be effective. .380 ACP shows more aggressive performance but can be challenging to shoot due to recoil in small platforms. 9mm demonstrates significant stopping power with a single round, making it a popular choice for self-defense despite its recoil.
