This video from Civilian Tactical demonstrates whether a car door can stop various .22 LR ammunition types. The host, exhibiting high authority through live-fire testing, shows that while some .22 LR rounds are stopped by the car door's interior panel, high-velocity options like the CCI Stangers can penetrate both sides. The test utilizes a Volquartsen VT2 rifle and various Federal, CCI, and Winchester ammunition.

This video tests the effectiveness of a common household pillow as an improvised firearm suppressor using a mil-spec decibel meter. The experiment involves establishing baseline sound levels for handguns and revolvers, then measuring the decibel reduction when a pillow is placed over the muzzle. Various methods of pillow placement are explored, including wrapping it around the cylinder gap of a revolver, to assess their impact on sound dampening. The results indicate that a pillow can significantly reduce gunshot noise, particularly when used with semi-automatic handguns and when the cylinder gap of a revolver is addressed.

This video details a surprising ballistics test of Winchester Silvertip .45 ACP ammunition. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, observed inconsistent performance between a short-barreled Glock 30 and a 5-inch barreled Rock Island 1911. While the ammunition performed exceptionally well with significant expansion and penetration from the shorter barrel, it failed to expand at all from the longer barrel, a phenomenon the presenter found inexplicable.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Sellier & Bellot XRG Defense .38 Special ammunition, conducted by the Tools&Targets host, an experienced reviewer. The test meticulously measures velocity, penetration, and expansion through a simulated clothing barrier using revolvers like the Rock Island Model 206 and Smith & Wesson 686 Plus. The analysis highlights critical performance data, offering insights into the ammunition's effectiveness for self-defense.

This video conducts a ballistics gel test comparing Winchester Silvertip 9mm and .40 S&W ammunition through a simulated clothing barrier. The test evaluates bullet expansion, penetration, and velocity from short-barreled handguns. While both calibers performed well, the .40 S&W demonstrated slightly superior penetration and energy transfer.

This comprehensive ballistic gel test, conducted by an expert with high authority, evaluates the performance of Winchester Silvertip .44 Magnum 210-grain JHP ammunition. The test utilizes a LabRadar for precise velocity measurements and compares performance from a 4-inch Taurus Tracker and an 8-inch Colt Anaconda, demonstrating significant velocity gains with the longer barrel. The results highlight excellent expansion, weight retention, and penetration depths suitable for self-defense applications.

This guide details the field strip and reassembly process for the Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun, as demonstrated by the Tools&Targets host. It covers the removal and reinstallation of key internal components, emphasizing the platform's simplicity for maintenance. The host, possessing high authority and hands-on experience, provides practical insights into the shotgun's design and operation.

This video details a comprehensive terminal ballistics test of Federal Syntech Defense 9mm ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, uses professional equipment like LabRadar and standardized protocols to evaluate projectile performance in ballistic gel through a clothing barrier. The test compares results from a Canik Mete MC9 and a Glock 17 Gen 4, providing objective data on velocity, segmentation, and penetration depth.

This video provides an expert-level unboxing and range test of the Taurus Model 856 .38 Special revolver. The host, an experienced firearms enthusiast, conducts empirical trigger weight testing and side-by-side comparisons. He demonstrates proficiency in both single and double-action shooting, achieving tight groups at various distances and with different ammunition types. The review highlights the revolver's accuracy, reliability, and comfortable handling, recommending it as a solid choice for a .38 Special snub-nose.

This comprehensive review from Tools&Targets analyzes the performance of three top .380 ACP ammunition loads: Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep, Underwood Xtreme Penetrator, and Winchester 95-grain FMJ. Using a Ruger LCP Max and standardized ballistic gel testing through a heavy clothing barrier, the analysis provides objective data on velocity, penetration, and expansion. The expert assessment highlights the practical implications for concealed carry and self-defense scenarios.
