Are Tiny Pistols Lethal?
This video from Civilian Tactical features a high-authority firearms instructor assessing the lethality of tiny pistols. Through ballistics gel testing, the host compares the .380 Auto from a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 against 9mm and also tests the .22 Magnum from a Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun. The analysis concludes that modern .380 Auto ammunition is nearly as effective as 9mm, making pocket pistols viable for self-defense.
