Can You Skip a Bullet on Water? (5,000+ FPS) .22, 9mm, & 12GA Slug Skipping on Water

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, test of bullet penetration through common building bricks using various firearms and calibers. From .22 LR to .50 BMG, the experiment visually showcases the significant differences in ballistic energy and stopping power. The presenter, Parker, offers an enthusiastic and knowledgeable approach, highlighting the destructive potential of each round.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various common firearm calibers through stacked porcelain tiles. It provides a visual comparison of how different rounds, from a .22 LR up to a .50 BMG, interact with this material, highlighting the significant differences in stopping power and projectile energy.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various common firearm calibers through a stack of 1000 paper plates. It highlights how bullet energy and construction significantly affect penetration depth, with higher caliber rounds generally requiring more plates to stop. The experiment provides a visual, albeit informal, understanding of ballistic performance against a soft, uniform medium.

This video provides a strategic guide to stockpiling essential ammunition calibers before potential shortages. The presenter, Ted from Line 45, emphasizes identifying calibers that historically vanish first during crises, such as .22 LR for training and small game, 9mm for its widespread use in handguns, .223/5.56 for AR platforms, 12-gauge slugs and buckshot for home defense, 7.62x39 for AK-pattern rifles, and .308/7.62 NATO for precision and battle rifles. The advice focuses on maintaining sufficient reserves for training, defense, and hunting, acknowledging the impact of supply chain disruptions, import restrictions, and increased demand from various sectors like law enforcement and military.

This video provides expert advice from Ted of Line 45 on essential ammunition calibers to stockpile in anticipation of potential ammo shortages. It details why specific calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .223/5.56, 12-gauge slugs/buckshot, 7.62x39mm, and .308/7.62 NATO are critical for training, defense, and general use, highlighting factors like production, demand, and geopolitical influences. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a sufficient reserve of both training and defensive ammunition for each caliber owned.

This video provides expert advice on building an ammunition stockpile to prepare for potential shortages, often referred to as an 'ammo crunch.' The instructor, Ted from Line 45, details seven critical calibers that historically vanish first during periods of high demand or panic buying. He emphasizes the importance of stocking both training and defensive ammunition for each caliber, based on its common uses and supply chain vulnerabilities. The advice is geared towards responsible gun owners looking to maintain their ability to train and defend.

This guide, presented by experienced shooter CajunBoyJake, demonstrates the superior stopping power of a 12-gauge shotgun with #00 buckshot over a 9mm pistol for home defense scenarios. Through live-fire comparison, it highlights the significant difference in immediate incapacitation potential, advising viewers to prioritize shotguns for this role.

CajunBoyJake, a knowledgeable practitioner, advocates for a defensive home defense strategy prioritizing cover and communication over aggressive room clearing. He highlights that the practical reach difference between a shotgun and a handgun in a defensive posture is less significant than overall length suggests. The guide emphasizes securing a position, calling 911, and holding a choke point if movement is required.

This guide details the bump fire technique for semi-automatic rifles, as demonstrated by CajunBoyJake. It explains how to use recoil and finger tension to achieve rapid firing rates without full-auto conversion. The technique involves using a belt loop for consistent backward pressure while pushing the rifle forward, allowing the trigger to 'bump' against the finger with each recoil cycle. Proper safety and understanding of semi-automatic function are emphasized.

This video, presented by CajunBoyJake, directly compares the effectiveness of a 9mm handgun versus a 12 Gauge shotgun for home defense. Through live demonstrations using a Glock 17 and Winchester Super X 00 Buckshot on a simulated target, the video visually illustrates the significant terminal ballistics advantage of the shotgun, strongly advocating for its use in home defense scenarios over handguns.
