10MM vs 357 MAGNUM

This video, presented by an expert firearms instructor, explores emerging handgun calibers that are beginning to challenge 9mm's dominance. It details the ballistics, performance advantages, and specific firearm platforms for calibers like .30 Super Carry, 5.7x28mm, 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and .22 TCM, offering insights into why shooters might choose these over the traditional 9mm for specific applications.

This video analyzes the potential shift away from 9mm Luger in 2026, exploring several alternative calibers. It details the ballistics and applications of .30 Super Carry, 5.7x28mm, 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and .22 TCM, offering insights into their performance advantages over 9mm in specific scenarios. The analysis is presented with a high degree of technical detail, drawing on ballistic data and historical context.

This video provides a practical, experimental guide to understanding how winter clothing can impede self-defense ammunition performance. The host, demonstrating high authority in tactical gear and ammunition testing, uses ballistic gel to show that common JHP rounds in .380 ACP and 9mm Luger often fail to expand when fired through heavy clothing, leading to over-penetration. The 10mm Auto is highlighted as a caliber that can maintain expansion under these conditions.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 'chain shot' ammunition, an adaptation of historical pirate cannon shot, loaded into modern shotgun shells. The test evaluates the penetration of fine, medium, and thick chain shot. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that chain shot is impractical and potentially dangerous for modern use, best left to historical reenactments.

This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel testing procedure to evaluate the actual power and effectiveness of snub nose revolvers compared to their longer-barreled counterparts. The experiment, led by Kentucky Ballistics, utilizes various powerful handgun calibers and standardized testing methods to provide data-driven insights into penetration and expansion. The results challenge common assumptions about snub nose revolver performance, particularly in heavier calibers where reduced velocity can sometimes lead to deeper penetration due to less bullet expansion.

This video from Mr. Madness provides a casual yet informative comparison between the 10mm Auto and .357 Magnum calibers, using ice as a medium to visually assess terminal ballistics. The experiment, conducted on a frozen lake, highlights the visual impact differences between the two powerful handgun cartridges. Mr. Madness, a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates safe handling practices throughout the test.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, resulting in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The incident highlights extreme pressure events and the critical importance of firearm safety and immediate medical response. Scott's resilience and commitment to educating viewers despite his injuries are evident.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Desert Eagle Mark XIX, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The firearm was subjected to extreme conditions including water submersion, snow burial, mud immersion, and sand burial. Despite some malfunctions in mud and sand, the Desert Eagle demonstrated notable resilience, functioning after water and snow exposure. The test highlights the firearm's robust construction and the importance of understanding its limitations under adverse conditions.

This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics testing several of the world's largest caliber firearms against a realistic ballistic dummy torso. The expert demonstrates the destructive power of rounds like the .700 Nitro Express (1000 grain) and .600 Nitro Express (900 grain), showcasing detailed firearm engravings and unique actions like the Blaser R8 straight-pull bolt. The testing provides valuable insights into the performance of these extreme hunting calibers on simulated organic material.

This video features a high-energy, experimental review by Scott, a high-authority firearms and gear reviewer, testing the Liberty Safe National Classic Select. The safe undergoes extreme fire and ballistic tests, demonstrating impressive resistance to handgun rounds and fire but ultimately succumbing to .50 BMG and significant mechanical force. The review highlights the safe's robust construction and effective fire seals.
