22LR PENETRATION TEST PT.2

This guide delves into the often-overlooked mechanical quirks and ballistic realities of .22LR rimfire ammunition. It explains why rimfire is inherently less reliable, discusses factors affecting performance like barrel length and ammunition quality, and offers solutions for improving consistency through proper maintenance and testing. The video emphasizes that while .22LR is an excellent training tool, its reliability issues make it unsuitable for defensive applications.

This video conducts a penetration test comparing M855 green tip and M193 5.56 NATO ammunition using a POF 415 Edge rifle. It also includes chronograph data for both rounds. The test reveals surprising results regarding penetration depth and velocity differences, offering insights into the performance characteristics of these common 5.56 NATO loads.

This video investigates the effect of water on tracer ammunition. It demonstrates that while 9mm tracer rounds are extinguished by water, .22LR tracer rounds, particularly from a Ruger 10/22, can continue to burn after impact. The experiment highlights differences in tracer composition and ignition timing.

This video demonstrates the practical effectiveness of the .22LR caliber, often underestimated, using a Glock 44 and a .22LR rifle. The instructor highlights how barrel length significantly impacts projectile velocity and penetration power, showing the rifle with its 24-inch barrel easily piercing two 2x4s compared to the pistol. The demonstration addresses common misconceptions about the .22LR round's capabilities.

This video explores the terminal ballistics of 9mm ammunition impacting a frozen lake. The experiment demonstrates that while 9mm rounds can penetrate ice, they do not typically bounce back spinning as some might expect. The test also shows that even with shallow ice, 9mm bullets can be recovered, and a 'mag dump' can effectively create an ice fishing hole.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a boulder, culminating with the .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP caused minimal damage, larger rounds like 5.56mm and 12 gauge slugs began to chip the rock. The .308 and initial .50 BMG shots caused significant fragmentation but did not penetrate. A second .50 BMG shot successfully penetrated the boulder.

This video argues for the necessity of AR/AK platform rifles equipped with 30-round magazines for self-defense. The speaker uses the example of a white supremacist march in Indianapolis to underscore the perceived need for such firepower in civil unrest scenarios. The advocacy is framed within the context of Second Amendment rights.

This entry critiques the improper attachment of a Russian Esmarch-style tourniquet to an AK-style rifle stock, as demonstrated by Locs N Load. The speaker, a firearm enthusiast, highlights how this method severely hinders rapid deployment in a critical situation, contrasting it with more practical methods of carrying medical gear. The content serves as a cautionary example of what not to do for emergency medical preparedness.

This YouTube video from LocsNLoadFirearms documents the presence of the NFAC (New Black Panther Party) in Brunswick, Georgia. The description highlights support channels through Patreon and Cashapp, and promotes USCCA for CCW insurance, BGOE (Black Gun Owners and Education), and a Jacksonville, Florida BGOE Facebook group. The content appears to focus on a group's demonstration or gathering.

This video humorously demonstrates a fictional firearm, the 'Nicked Gun,' which fires backward, causing the shooter to be struck by her own projectile. The demonstration highlights an unrealistic and comedic weapon mechanic, visually resembling a Walther PPK with a suppressor. It serves as an example of fictional movie props rather than practical firearm training.
