45acp vs 38super
This video by Edwin Sarkissian compares the ballistic performance of the .45 ACP and .38 Super calibers, specifically within the context of 1911-style pistols. The testing involved penetration through paper and a Level 3A ballistic helmet. The .45 ACP showed less penetration through paper but was stopped by the helmet, while the .38 Super penetrated more paper but also failed to penetrate the helmet, indicating different performance characteristics under stress.
