My Weakest Guns! High Power 177 Pellet Gun VS Low Power 22 Rounds (Ft. an even younger Autumn!)

Published on March 10, 2024
Duration: 22:34

This video compares the terminal ballistics of a high-powered .177 caliber pellet rifle (Ruger Airhawk Elite 2) against low-powered .22 LR ammunition (Aguila Super Colibri, CCI CB Shorts, CCI 22 Shorts) using various targets like oranges, grapefruits, apples, cookies, and socks. The experiment aims to determine which platform delivers more impact damage. The presenter, Autumn, demonstrates shooting techniques and analyzes the resulting damage, concluding that while the .177 pellet gun shows some penetration, the low-powered .22 LR rounds often create more significant damage, especially with hollow points. The video culminates in a grand finale shot using a 12-gauge shotgun with buckshot and slug for a dramatic comparison.

Quick Summary

This video compares a Ruger Airhawk Elite 2 .177 pellet rifle against low-powered .22 LR ammunition (Aguila Super Colibri, CCI CB Shorts, CCI 22 Shorts). Tests on fruits, cookies, and socks suggest that while the pellet gun penetrates, the .22 LR rounds, especially hollow points, often inflict more significant damage and create larger exit wounds.
