Hollow Point Vs FMJ *Teste de Energia*

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a .357 Magnum round fired from a 12-gauge shotgun using a sabot. The test involves shooting through water and ballistic gel to assess energy transfer and wound cavity creation. The results highlight significant energy transfer and the destructive potential of the sabot-fired projectile.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO ammunition, specifically XM193 FMJ and green tip variants, through clay media. The testing reveals that even after hitting the same point of impact as a .30-06 round, the 5.56 NATO rounds did not achieve full pass-through, with clay particles falling out from the green tip round.

This video critically examines the FBI's ballistic testing standards, highlighting areas for improvement. The presenter, Boondock, suggests that while the FBI sets a high bar, certain aspects like clothing simulation and steel barrier material consistency could be more realistic. The discussion also touches upon the nuances of over/under penetration, fragmentation versus expansion, and the importance of testing rounds based on their intended application and range, drawing parallels with military testing methodologies.

This video explores the limits of 12 gauge shotgun slug weight, testing slugs ranging from a standard 1 ounce to a massive 6100 grain (nearly 14 oz) projectile. The presenter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrates the significant increase in recoil and potential firearm stress with heavier slugs. The experiment involves testing slug penetration through various mediums like water, ballistic gel, and even body armor, while also assessing the durability of different shotguns under extreme pressure.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of three different 9mm rounds (RIP, Hollow Point, FMJ) through 10 lbs of peanut butter. The RIP round and Hollow Point were stopped by the peanut butter, while the FMJ round penetrated multiple jugs, demonstrating varying levels of terminal performance and penetration.

This video demonstrates techniques for engaging FPV drones using specialized 5.56 Drone Rounds. It highlights the importance of volume of fire over precision for drone takedowns and explores engaging drones from static positions, moving vehicles, and in team fire scenarios. The content emphasizes the learning curve associated with this new technology and the effectiveness of Drone Rounds as a kinetic counter-drone option.

This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

This video from Tática Civil, featuring an expert instructor, explains the dangers of firing upwards due to projectile drop and terminal velocity. It demonstrates the safe use of 9mm shot shells for controlled demonstrations, highlighting the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor red dot sight. The instructor emphasizes crucial firearm safety protocols.

This guide details an experimental test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal. Using a ballistic mannequin, cardboard indicators, and a concrete backstop, the test demonstrates that a near miss from a .50 BMG round does not impart enough shockwave or air pressure to cause fatal injury, though the projectile itself possesses immense kinetic energy as evidenced by its impact on the concrete block. The test was conducted objectively by an individual with high authority, indicated by their empirical testing methods and proper safety protocols.

This video explores the surprising functionality of a realistic toy shotgun, the M870 by Dart Armory. The presenter tests if it can chamber and cycle real 12-gauge shotgun shells, comparing its operation to a Mossberg 590. The toy shotgun successfully loads, chambers, and ejects real shells, demonstrating a high degree of realism in its mechanical operation.
