This video details a ballistic gel test of G2 Research Telos 9mm +P ammunition. The presenter fires rounds from two different barrel lengths (3-inch Taurus GX4 and ~4.25-inch P80) through a chronograph and into ballistic gel. The test focuses on the controlled fragmentation characteristics of the solid copper projectiles, measuring velocities, penetration, fragment counts, and recovered projectile weights. The presenter notes that while the fragmentation is highly controlled and consistent, the overall penetration is less than desired for some applications.

Quick Summary

G2 Research Telos 9mm +P ammunition is engineered for controlled fragmentation, breaking into six uniform pieces with a central core. Testing showed average velocities of 1042 fps from a 3-inch barrel and 1106 fps from a ~4.25-inch barrel. Penetration for fragments was 4-5.5 inches, with the core reaching 11-11.75 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key performance characteristics of G2 Research Telos 9mm +P ammunition?

G2 Research Telos 9mm +P ammunition is designed for controlled fragmentation. It breaks into approximately six uniform pieces upon impact, creating a significant disruption. The central core continues to penetrate, while the fragments spread out.

What velocities were recorded for the G2 Research Telos 9mm +P ammunition?

From a 3-inch barrel (Taurus GX4), the average velocity was 1042 fps. From a ~4.25-inch barrel (P80), the average velocity was 1106 fps. The manufacturer claims 1210 fps, which was not achieved in these tests.

How did the G2 Research Telos 9mm +P ammunition perform in ballistic gel?

In ballistic gel, the Telos rounds exhibited excellent controlled fragmentation, breaking into six pieces. Fragment penetration was around 4-5.5 inches, with the central core penetrating about 11-11.75 inches, depending on barrel length.

What is the weight retention of the G2 Research Telos 9mm +P projectiles?

The central core of the Telos projectile retained approximately 32 grains. The total recovered weight, including all six fragments, was 92.2 grains, matching the advertised 92-grain average projectile weight.
