GUNTALK S3: Rimfires - Ep9, Pt3

This video from Autumn's Armory features a fun and informative test of Rice Krispies treats as a bullet-stopping medium. The hosts, including a guest appearance by 'Daddy', engage in a dueling tree competition before moving on to the main event: shooting various calibers into Rice Krispies. They systematically test different ammunition types, from .22 Short to .380 ACP and buckshot, observing penetration and bullet recovery. The experiment highlights the surprising effectiveness of the marshmallow-based treats in stopping smaller projectiles, while larger calibers and buckshot easily penetrate.

This video tests the penetration power of .22 Short, .22 Long Rifle, and .22 Magnum ammunition against a car door. The .22 Short failed to penetrate or even chip the paint, while the .22 Long Rifle achieved one full pass-through and several dings. The .22 Magnum significantly damaged the paint but did not achieve full penetration.

This video provides a top five list of calibers to stock for preparedness scenarios, emphasizing availability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. The instructor, Eric from Iraq Veteran 8888, details specific ammunition types within each caliber, offering insights into their performance and value as investments. The guide also touches on the importance of components for handloading as a wildcard option.

This video provides expert advice on stockpiling ammunition for potential SHTF scenarios, focusing on specific calibers and bullet types. It emphasizes quality and reliability over cost, detailing the advantages of certain brands and weights for different applications. The instructor highlights the importance of understanding ballistic differences and firearm compatibility when making stocking decisions.

This video demonstrates that while it is physically possible to fire a .22 Long Rifle cartridge from a .22 Magnum firearm (or a .17 HMR from a .22 Magnum), it is strongly advised against due to potential safety risks and firearm damage. The primary distinction lies in casing dimensions, not projectile size. The presenter uses a multi-caliber revolver with interchangeable cylinders to illustrate these points, emphasizing the difference between 'can' and 'should'.

This video emphasizes a critical imbalance in firearm ownership: investing heavily in platforms while neglecting sufficient ammunition for training. The speaker, drawing from personal experience, advocates for a 1:1 investment ratio between a firearm's cost and its corresponding ammunition, particularly for duty handguns and fighting rifles. This approach ensures adequate resources for proficiency development, which is crucial for self-defense and preparedness.
