Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers were tested for home defense in the video?

The video tested three primary calibers for home defense scenarios: 9mm, 5.56x45mm, and 12 gauge double-aught buckshot. Each was evaluated for its terminal ballistics using a ballistic gel dummy.

How effective was 9mm ammunition in the ballistic gel test?

The 9mm test, using Sig Sauer 124-grain V-Crown ammunition, resulted in a clean entrance wound and a significant exit wound on the ballistic gel penguin, indicating good terminal performance for self-defense.

What were the results of the 5.56x45mm test?

Fired from a 16-inch barrel, the 5.56x45mm round produced substantial damage to the ballistic gel, creating two exit wounds and demonstrating high energy transfer, making it a potent option for home defense.

Which caliber showed the most widespread effect in the home defense test?

The 12 gauge double-aught buckshot, fired from a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, demonstrated the most widespread effect with a tight spread of pellets, creating multiple impacts and significant damage to the ballistic gel target.
