9MM NUKES!...Unlimited Ammo 124 Grain Self-Defense AMMO Ballistic Gel Test!

Published on June 21, 2024
Duration: 11:47

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Unlimited Ammo's 124-grain JHP 'Nukes' ammunition in 9mm. The test includes velocity measurements from a Canik MC9 (3.1-inch barrel) and a Glock 17 (4.5-inch barrel), followed by penetration and expansion tests through a four-layer clothing barrier. While the ammunition demonstrated good disruption and penetration, full expansion was not achieved, with some jacket fragmentation observed. The presenter suggests the heavy clothing barrier may have hindered optimal performance.

Quick Summary

The Unlimited Ammo 'Nukes' 124-grain JHP 9mm ammunition averaged 1,091 ft/s from a 3.1-inch barrel and 1,154 ft/s from a 4.5-inch barrel after passing through a four-layer clothing barrier. In ballistic gel, it achieved 19.5 inches of penetration from the shorter barrel and 17.75 inches from the longer barrel, with good disruption but incomplete expansion.
