Rittenhouse Prosecutor Says Hollow Points EXPLODE?!

This video provides a head-to-head comparison of five popular handgun calibers (30 Super Carry, 9mm, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, 45 ACP) using Federal HST ammunition fired from short-barreled handguns into ballistic gel. The instructor, from 'The Gun Dungeon', focuses on comparing bullet expansion and penetration, noting surprising performance from the 30 Super Carry and significant expansion from the 45 ACP despite less penetration.

This gel block test compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO M855 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm Tula ammunition. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and tumbling, while the 7.62x39mm round showed similar width expansion but greater length and penetration. The test highlights the distinct terminal effects of these common rifle calibers.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 6 Creedmoor cartridges, focusing on their effectiveness for hunting and competition. It highlights the 6 Creedmoor's efficiency with shorter barrels, lower recoil, and comparable terminal ballistics to the 6.5 Creedmoor for deer hunting. The content includes ballistics gel testing, accuracy demonstrations, and discussions on rifle configurations and ammunition choices.

This ballistic chicken test compares the terminal performance of 223/5.56mm and 300 Blackout rifle rounds. The test utilized 55-grain V-Max for 223/5.56mm and a 110-grain Nosler Varmageddon for 300 Blackout, both fired from 16-inch barrels. The 300 Blackout demonstrated more energy transfer and penetration, resulting in more violent expansion and destruction within the ballistic medium compared to the 223/5.56mm.

This video discusses a significant policy shift by Everytown for Gun Safety, moving from advocating for bans to offering firearm training and storage advice. While the speaker is critical of the curriculum's potential biases, they acknowledge that increased training could lead to more informed gun owners. The content touches on safe handling, storage, and the political implications of such programs.

This video details a ballistic gelatin test comparing .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers using 20% ballistic gelatin. The instructor, Buckeye Ballistics, notes that an accidental over-concentration of gelatin resulted in a firmer block, significantly impacting penetration compared to standard 10% gelatin. The test highlights differences in penetration and wound cavity formation between FMJ and hollow-point ammunition across these calibers.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of BB gun lethality for self-defense, featuring an experienced instructor from 1ShotTV. The test uses a realistic ballistic dummy head to compare a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, an Umarex MP40 CO2 replica, and a Gamo Wildcat Whisper pellet rifle. The findings indicate that BB guns are ineffective for self-defense, while pellet rifles show some potential but lack the stopping power of conventional firearms.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the BulletSafe VP3 Level 3A bulletproof vest's capabilities. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise in ballistics and armor ratings, tests the vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot using a realistic ballistic dummy. The results highlight the vest's effectiveness in stopping rounds while also illustrating the potential for significant blunt force trauma and skeletal damage from high-energy impacts.

This review covers the Crosman DPMS SBR, a full-auto BB gun mimicking an AR-15 SBR. The host, demonstrating experienced authority, details its select-fire capability, dual CO2 power, 25-round capacity, and performance metrics like 430 FPS and 1400 RPM. The review includes practical demonstrations of loading, accuracy testing with minimal recoil, and penetration tests on various targets, concluding it offers a realistic full-auto experience for recreational shooting.

This video from 1ShotTV, featuring an experienced firearms content creator, experimentally tests the viability of a flare gun for self-defense. The tests reveal significant fire hazards when firing into household materials and inconsistent performance against clothing and ballistic targets. The Orion 12-gauge flare gun's single-shot capacity and slow reload time are highlighted as major drawbacks for defensive use. The conclusion strongly advises against using flare guns for self-defense due to these risks and limitations.
