At What Distance Should You Use A Pocket Pistol?

This video demonstrates an accuracy test for pocket pistols at various distances, from 5 to 50 yards, using a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 equipped with a Viridian red dot sight. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that pocket pistols can achieve effective A-zone sized groupings up to 50 yards when paired with a red dot sight, highlighting their potential utility beyond typical close-range engagements. The drill emphasizes practical application and understanding of a firearm's capabilities.

This video explains the concept of 'snappy' firearms, characterized by significant muzzle flip during recoil. It highlights that slide mass is a key factor, with lighter slides (like on the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 in .380 ACP) leading to more perceived snappiness. Conversely, heavier slides (like on the 9mm Walther PDP) absorb more recoil energy, resulting in a flatter shooting experience despite a larger caliber.

This video provides essential techniques for concealed carry, focusing on practical drills and carry conditions. It emphasizes proper IWB holster setup, drawing mechanics, and adopting a modern shooting stance. The instruction includes dry fire practice for trigger control and one-handed operation, along with considerations for winter carry and pocket pistol deployment. The expert guidance stresses the importance of continuous training for self-defense proficiency.

This comedic skit humorously emphasizes the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It illustrates a handgun malfunction, specifically a stovepipe, and uses a visual gag with a spent casing to drive home the safety message. The creator showcases tactical gear and a Sig Sauer P365 XL, demonstrating firearm handling in a range environment.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a tree. Surprisingly, even the powerful .50 BMG round failed to penetrate the tree completely, demonstrating the significant stopping power of natural barriers against firearms.

This video explores the hypothetical concept of using a human body as a suppressor, simulating the scenario with ballistic gel. A Derya Arms .22 rifle is fired into a ballistic gel head, with the host noting the shot sounded 'dead silent'. The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.
