This video features Edwin Sarkissian comparing the ballistic performance of a vintage Mauser C96 'Broomhandle' in 7.63x25mm Mauser against a modern Glock in 9mm. The tests involve penetrating sheet metal and blocks of cheese, offering a unique, albeit informal, look at projectile energy and terminal ballistics. The content highlights differences in penetration capabilities between historical and contemporary handgun cartridges.

Quick Summary

Edwin Sarkissian compared the ballistic performance of a Mauser C96 (7.63x25mm Mauser) and a Glock (9mm). The 9mm penetrated more sheet metal (6 sheets vs 5) and created a larger cavity in cheese, though both stopped on the sixth block.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did the Mauser C96 perform in a ballistic test against a Glock 9mm?

The Mauser C96 in 7.63x25mm Mauser penetrated five sheets of 24-gauge sheet metal and stopped on the sixth. In a cheese test, it also stopped on the sixth block.

What was the outcome of the Glock 9mm's ballistic test?

The Glock 9mm penetrated six sheets of 24-gauge sheet metal, stopping on the seventh. In the cheese test, it also stopped on the sixth block but created a larger wound cavity than the Mauser C96.

What unique ballistic media was used in the comparison?

The video humorously used blocks of vacuum-sealed cheese as ballistic media to test projectile penetration and terminal effects for both the Mauser C96 and the Glock 9mm.

What calibers were compared in the video?

The video compared the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge, fired from a Mauser C96 'Broomhandle' pistol, against the 9mm Luger cartridge, fired from a Glock pistol.
