EXPLODING 9mm AMMO! Tested on BALLISTIC GEL TORSO!

Published on July 4, 2024
Duration: 2:50

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of specialty 9mm exploding slugs fired from a B&W T9 PCP air pistol. The host, exhibiting high expertise in airgun performance and ammunition testing, uses ballistic gel torsos and various barriers like denim to analyze the slugs' effects. The testing reveals that while the slugs create an explosive effect upon impact, the lead projectile itself shows minimal deformation, with penetration depth being a key observation.

Quick Summary

Expert testing of 9mm exploding ammunition from a B&W T9 PCP air pistol reveals significant fragmentation upon impact with ballistic gel and denim barriers. While the slugs create a dramatic explosive effect, the lead projectile itself shows minimal expansion, with penetration depth being a key factor in their terminal performance analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do 9mm exploding slugs perform in ballistic gel?

When fired from a B&W T9 PCP air pistol, 9mm exploding slugs create an immediate explosive effect upon hitting ballistic gel. However, the lead projectile itself shows minimal expansion, with the primary effect being fragmentation or release of internal components.

Does denim affect the performance of exploding 9mm ammunition?

Testing indicates that a denim barrier does not significantly lessen the impact of 9mm exploding slugs. In some cases, the fabric appeared to carry more thermal energy into the cavity created by the slug's impact.

What is the penetration capability of these specialty 9mm slugs?

The video shows that these 9mm exploding slugs can penetrate a ballistic gel torso lengthwise. Recovered slugs demonstrate they can travel significant distances within the gel, though their expansion is minimal.

What is a PCP air pistol?

PCP stands for Pre-Charged Pneumatic. It's an airgun system that uses a built-in reservoir filled with compressed air, allowing for high power output and consistent shot velocity, often seen in higher-end air pistols and rifles.
