Will a 9mm "Blow A Lung Out?"

Published on June 21, 2022
Duration: 7:03

This video features Iraqveteran8888 hosts Eric and Stephen Williford, 'The Barefoot Defender,' demonstrating the destructive power of various firearm calibers. They test 9mm, .500 Magnum, 5.56mm, .45-70 Government, and 12 Gauge shotgun slugs against watermelons. The demonstrations aim to debunk political claims about 9mm's power and illustrate the significant differences in ballistic performance between handgun and rifle calibers, as well as different types of shotgun ammunition. The hosts emphasize responsible firearm use and critique misinformation surrounding gun control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 9mm bullet really blow a lung out?

Based on ballistic tests shown in the video, a 9mm round creates a hole but does not cause the exaggerated 'blown out lung' effect often claimed in political discussions. Its destructive power is significantly less than larger calibers.

What is the most powerful caliber demonstrated in the video?

The video demonstrates that the .45-70 Government rifle and the 12 Gauge shotgun slug exhibit the most extreme destructive power, completely obliterating watermelons. The .500 Magnum handgun also shows significant power.

Why is shooting a shotgun blast in the air considered irresponsible?

Shooting a firearm into the air is irresponsible because the projectile can travel a great distance, potentially harming unintended targets or property. It is also ineffective as a deterrent and can escalate a situation dangerously.

What is the purpose of testing different calibers on watermelons?

Testing different calibers on watermelons serves as a visual demonstration of their relative destructive power and terminal ballistics. This helps to debunk myths and provide a clearer understanding of ammunition performance compared to political rhetoric.
