Roupas Impedem Expansão de Munição Hollow Point? (Teste) *VertX*

Published on March 29, 2025
Duration: 1:18

This test investigates whether thick clothing impedes hollow-point ammunition expansion. Using ballistic gelatin draped with a hoodie, the experiment fired .380 Auto and 9mm rounds. Results showed that hollow points from Winchester, Hornady Critical Defense, and Defiant Munitions expanded successfully, even with fabric present. Notably, one .380 Auto round appeared to cause more damage than the 9mm.

Quick Summary

A ballistic gelatin test demonstrated that thick clothing does not prevent hollow-point ammunition from expanding. Rounds from Winchester, Hornady Critical Defense, and Defiant Munitions all expanded successfully after passing through a hooded sweatshirt, challenging the notion that clothing acts as a significant barrier to expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does thick clothing prevent hollow-point bullets from expanding?

According to a ballistic gelatin test using a thick hooded sweatshirt, thick clothing does not prevent hollow-point ammunition from expanding. Bullets from Winchester, Hornady Critical Defense, and Defiant Munitions all expanded successfully after passing through the fabric.

What types of ammunition were tested for expansion through clothing?

The test included Winchester .380 Auto, Defiant Munitions .380 Auto TCX, and Hornady Critical Defense ammunition. These rounds were fired through a thick sweatshirt into ballistic gelatin to observe their performance.

Were there any surprising results in the clothing barrier test?

Yes, one surprising result was that a .380 Auto round from Defiant Munitions appeared to cause more damage than a 9mm round in this specific test scenario, despite the common expectation that larger calibers would yield greater effects.

What gear was used in the ballistic gelatin test?

The test involved draping a VertX Sun hoodie, described as lightweight, over ballistic gelatin. The ammunition was fired from a PSA Dagger pistol to simulate a real-world scenario.
