Duration: 13:31

This video provides a detailed ballistic test of CorBon's 9mm +P Urban Response ammunition. The instructor conducts gel tests with a heavy clothing barrier to simulate real-world conditions, measuring velocity and penetration from two different handgun platforms: a short-barreled MC9 and a standard Glock 17. The results are compared to the manufacturer's specifications and previous tests of CorBon's Power Ball ammunition, focusing on expansion, energy transfer, and penetration depth.

Quick Summary

CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P ammunition features a 100-grain jacketed lead projectile with a softer ball insert for controlled expansion and reduced penetration. Tested velocities reached 1423 fps from a 3.1-inch barrel and 1519 fps from a 4.5-inch barrel, with gel tests showing significant expansion and penetration between 11.25 and 12.25 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P ammunition?

CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P ammunition features a 100-grain jacketed lead projectile with a softer, rubbery ball insert. This design aims to prevent clogging, aid feeding, and promote controlled expansion while offering less penetration than other rounds like CorBon's Power Ball.

What velocities were achieved with CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P during testing?

During testing, the CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P ammunition achieved a 5-round average velocity of 1423 fps from a 3.1-inch barrel MC9 and 1519 fps from a 4.5-inch barrel Glock 17, exceeding the manufacturer's stated muzzle velocity of 1475 fps.

How did the CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P perform in ballistic gel tests?

The CorBon Urban Response 9mm +P demonstrated good disruption and controlled expansion in ballistic gel tests behind a heavy clothing barrier. Penetration depths ranged from approximately 11.25 to 12.25 inches, with projectiles expanding significantly.

What is the intended purpose of CorBon Urban Response ammunition?

The CorBon Urban Response ammunition is designed for self-defense, particularly in urban environments or situations where over-penetration is a concern. Its design prioritizes controlled expansion and reduced penetration while maintaining effective energy transfer.
