Roupas Bloqueiam Duelos de Fogo? *Teste de Expansão* (Vertx)

Duration: 1:18

This video tests whether thick clothing, specifically a Vertx hoodie, impedes the expansion of hollow-point ammunition. The test involved firing .380 ACP and 9mm rounds into ballistic gelatin through the layered fabric. The results indicate that thick clothing does not prevent hollow-point bullets from expanding effectively.

Quick Summary

Thick clothing does not prevent hollow-point ammunition from expanding. In a ballistic gelatin test using a Vertx hoodie, .380 ACP and 9mm hollow points successfully expanded, with fabric fragments observed in the gel. This indicates that common clothing layers do not disable the expansion mechanism of most hollow-point bullets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does thick clothing prevent hollow-point bullets from expanding?

No, this ballistic gelatin test demonstrates that thick clothing, like a Vertx hoodie, does not prevent hollow-point ammunition from expanding. Multiple layers of fabric did not impede the designed expansion of .380 ACP and 9mm hollow-point rounds.

What types of ammunition were tested for clothing penetration?

The test included Winchester .380 ACP, Defiant Munitions .380 ACP TCX, and Hornady Critical Defense .380 ACP. A 9mm round was also fired for comparison, though specific details were not provided for the 9mm brand.

How did the clothing affect the bullet's performance in the test?

The clothing, a Vertx hoodie, was penetrated by the bullets, and fabric fragments were found in the ballistic gelatin. However, the primary function of hollow-point expansion was not compromised by the layered fabric.

Were there any surprising results from the clothing penetration test?

Yes, it was surprising that the .380 ACP rounds, particularly the Defiant Munitions, appeared to cause more damage than the 9mm round after passing through the clothing. All tested hollow points expanded effectively.
