KRISS VECTOR VS PUMPKIN - 9MM VS 45 ACP

This video provides a practical, experimental guide to understanding how winter clothing can impede self-defense ammunition performance. The host, demonstrating high authority in tactical gear and ammunition testing, uses ballistic gel to show that common JHP rounds in .380 ACP and 9mm Luger often fail to expand when fired through heavy clothing, leading to over-penetration. The 10mm Auto is highlighted as a caliber that can maintain expansion under these conditions.

This video, presented by an experienced instructor, identifies the five worst calibers for budget ammunition stockpiling in 2026: 300 Blackout, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win/7.62 NATO. It highlights their high cost per round due to limited mass production or material expenses. The instructor recommends more affordable and widely available alternatives like 9mm, .40 S&W, 5.56mm/.223, and 7.62x39mm for budget-conscious individuals.

This video, presented by an expert firearms instructor, explores emerging handgun calibers that are beginning to challenge 9mm's dominance. It details the ballistics, performance advantages, and specific firearm platforms for calibers like .30 Super Carry, 5.7x28mm, 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and .22 TCM, offering insights into why shooters might choose these over the traditional 9mm for specific applications.

This guide details a practical ammo comparison test for the Kriss Vector FRT, as demonstrated by an experienced shooter from MuzzleBroke. The test involves using two different 9mm Luger ammunition types, Fiocchi Target Max and Blazer Brass, both 115GR Full Metal Jacket, in different magazine configurations to assess performance differences in 'rattler mode'. The results suggest a noticeable performance improvement with Blazer Brass ammunition, particularly when using the stick magazine.

This video from God Family and Guns identifies the five most expensive and least budget-friendly calibers to stockpile: .300 Blackout, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ammunition markets and firearm applications, provides cost estimates and offers more affordable, mass-produced alternatives for each. The advice is geared towards individuals looking to build an ammunition reserve on a budget, emphasizing value and availability.

This video details an experimental test to determine how many bricks are required to stop various bullet calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The host, demonstrating familiarity with safe firearm handling and various platforms, tests handguns and rifles, showcasing the significant penetration power of larger calibers like the .50 AE and .50 BMG. The experiment provides a visual demonstration of projectile energy transfer and material resistance.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
