Recreating Famous US Military Sniper Shot with Ballistic Gel #shorts

This guide details a ballistic gel test comparing the 10mm Auto and .357 Magnum calibers, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. Both calibers, using specific JHP ammunition, were tested for penetration in 16-inch Clear Ballistics gel blocks. The results showed full penetration for both, leaving the caliber debate unsettled. The video emphasizes practical comparison using specialized testing equipment.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 'chain shot' ammunition, an adaptation of historical pirate cannon shot, loaded into modern shotgun shells. The test evaluates the penetration of fine, medium, and thick chain shot. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that chain shot is impractical and potentially dangerous for modern use, best left to historical reenactments.

This expert-level analysis details a ballistic gel test comparing Wilson Combat's 115gr and 124gr .38 Super +P XTP ammunition fired from a Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911. The test, conducted by Tools&Targets, provides comprehensive data on velocity, penetration, weight retention, and expansion, offering insights into the self-defense capabilities of these loads. The speaker, demonstrating expert authority, breaks down the performance metrics and compares them to advertised specifications.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides an in-depth look at the Detonator Shotgun Slug, a 20-gauge round designed for impact detonation. The instructor, demonstrating advanced knowledge, conducts rigorous testing on various targets including steel plates and ballistic gel, highlighting the slug's unique characteristics and potential legal implications. The content emphasizes the critical importance of using appropriate barrels and chokes, warning against potential catastrophic failure if misused.

This video provides a detailed test of various 9mm ammunition types, including standard FMJ, blue tip rounds, and the explosive Havoc round, against a hog target and ballistic gel. It also features a rigorous test of an Enigwatch bulletproof watch safe, subjected to multiple 9mm impacts. The presenter, with a hobbyist authority level, offers insights into ammunition performance and the durability of specialized safes, concluding with recommendations and warnings regarding self-defense ammunition.

This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel testing procedure to evaluate the actual power and effectiveness of snub nose revolvers compared to their longer-barreled counterparts. The experiment, led by Kentucky Ballistics, utilizes various powerful handgun calibers and standardized testing methods to provide data-driven insights into penetration and expansion. The results challenge common assumptions about snub nose revolver performance, particularly in heavier calibers where reduced velocity can sometimes lead to deeper penetration due to less bullet expansion.

This guide details how to significantly reduce the noise signature of a .22 LR pistol using a suppressor and subsonic ammunition. The presenter, demonstrating high authority, explains the physics behind suppressor function and the importance of ammunition choice for optimal quietness. The video culminates in a direct comparison showing the suppressed pistol is quieter than a compound bow.

This video debunks a politician's claim about the weight and caliber of an AR-15. The speaker, demonstrating expert authority, clarifies that an AR-15 typically weighs around 6.5 lbs, not the equivalent of 10 moving boxes. It also explains that while some rare AR-15 variants can chamber .50 Beowulf, the common calibers are much smaller, like .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, and not the .50 BMG.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of 12-gauge shotgun ballistics, featuring insights from Jim Harmer. It details the destructive potential of a 12-gauge load in ballistics gel, highlighting the wide wound channel created by numerous pellets. The content includes a breakdown of shotgun shell components and emphasizes safety warnings for viewers.

This video from Backfire offers an expert assessment of a pre-owned Browning X-Bolt Pro Featherlight in 300 RUM, highlighting its resale value and the significant recoil associated with the caliber in a lightweight platform. The instructor emphasizes understanding why high-end firearms might be resold, particularly due to chambering and its impact on shootability.
