Duration: 16:22

This video details a ballistic gel test comparing CCI Uppercut, CCI Stinger, and Armscor Precision .22LR ammunition fired from an 18.5-inch Ruger 10/22 rifle at 27 yards through a heavy clothing barrier. The test meticulously records velocities using a Lab Radar chronograph and analyzes projectile performance in gel, focusing on expansion and penetration. The findings highlight significant differences in performance, particularly the lack of expansion from the CCI Uppercut in this specific test scenario.

Quick Summary

In an 18.5-inch rifle barrel test with a heavy clothing barrier at 27 yards, the CCI Uppercut showed no expansion and significant tumbling, achieving 15 inches of penetration. The CCI Stinger expanded effectively but penetrated only 8.25 inches, while the budget Armscor Precision also failed to expand but penetrated 14.5 inches.
