Soft Point Vs FMJ!

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test comparing Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Point (SP) ammunition against RMA Armament body armor. The test involves firing both ammunition types into ballistic gel placed behind the armor, with a water jug serving as a penetration indicator. The FMJ round impacted the ceramic plate, fragmenting, while the SP round's performance is observed for its potential to penetrate the armor and the water jug.

This video from Guns Blazing Ranch provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of three .45 ACP ammunition types: FMJ, JHP, and Monolithic rounds. Through ballistic testing against water bottles, the video visually illustrates the distinct terminal performance characteristics of each, highlighting how JHP and Monolithic rounds offer superior expansion and energy transfer compared to FMJ. The demonstration uses a Ruger SR1911 pistol.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between Hollow Point (HP) and Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition through practical testing. Using a Shadow Systems MR920 and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates the significant difference in terminal ballistics, emphasizing the superior energy transfer and expansion of HP rounds for defensive applications. The authoritative presentation highlights key concepts in terminal ballistics.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert-level penetration test comparing the 9mm and 10mm calibers. Using a Glock 19 with 124gr FMJ and a Glock 20 with 180gr FMJ, the test demonstrates that the 10mm caliber penetrates more wooden boards than the 9mm. The host, Scott, provides clear visuals and direct comparisons, showcasing safe firearm handling and structured testing methodology.

This video provides a practical demonstration and evaluation of 9mm Dragon's Breath ammunition, contrasting its flashy incendiary effect with the practical terminal ballistics of standard hollow points for self-defense. The host, a tactical gear reviewer, highlights its novelty but ultimately concludes it's inferior to hollow points due to over-penetration. It also showcases the 945 Industries Off-Body Carry Bag.

This guide details the process of testing the terminal ballistics of the 700 Nitro Express rifle using extensive ballistic gel blocks. It covers the setup, firing procedures for both soft point and FMJ ammunition, and observation of results, emphasizing the extreme nature of the cartridge and its significant recoil. The demonstration is led by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, a recognized expert in high-caliber firearm testing.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
