Duration: 25:09

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features Scott testing pure silver bullets in various calibers (.50 BMG, .500 S&W, 12 Gauge, 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .308 Winchester) against a custom werewolf ballistic dummy. The tests reveal that pure silver bullets, while offering deep penetration, exhibit minimal expansion similar to FMJ rounds, with effectiveness varying significantly by caliber and velocity. The video also includes a sponsor segment for USCCA.

Quick Summary

Pure silver bullets tested by Kentucky Ballistics demonstrate deep penetration but minimal expansion, similar to FMJ ammunition. Calibers from 9mm to .50 BMG were tested against a ballistic dummy, with the .50 BMG round causing complete head obliteration. Effectiveness varies significantly with caliber and velocity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do pure silver bullets perform in ballistic tests?

Pure silver bullets, as tested by Kentucky Ballistics, offer deep penetration but show minimal expansion, behaving much like Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition. Their effectiveness is highly dependent on caliber and velocity.

What calibers of pure silver bullets were tested?

The video tested pure silver bullets in 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .500 S&W Magnum, .308 Winchester, 12 Gauge (as shot), and .50 BMG calibers against a ballistic dummy.

What was the most destructive silver bullet test?

The most destructive test involved a 752-grain .50 BMG pure silver bullet fired from a Noreen ULR rifle, which completely obliterated the ballistic dummy's head, demonstrating extreme terminal ballistics.

What is the primary takeaway regarding silver ammunition?

The primary takeaway is that while silver is a unique material, its ballistic performance in bullet form is comparable to FMJ, emphasizing penetration over expansion unless driven at exceptionally high velocities or in specific configurations like large shot loads.
