How much does the weight of a bullet affect the penetration when compared primarily across a single manufacturer? This week, we look at the penetration of Federal self-defense ammunition in the ballistics gel -- utilizing bullet weights from 105gr to 147gr. As a bonus, we look at Seismic's 185gr round as well. All of these rounds are 9mm Luger.
Red dot optics are handy tools for improved target acquisition, but they are not without a learning curve. In this week's video, Rodney introduces the basics of red dot optics, how they can be useful, and some simple tips for their use.
In this week's video, we take a look at the stopping power of the 10mm Auto. We are firing into synthetic ballistics gel at approximate FBI Standards with 180gr FMJ and 170gr and 180gr JHP. We also look at the difference in controlled firing speed, as well as testing penetration in the ballistics gel from a range of 50 meters.
The 10mm Auto and .40 S&W share an intimate history, with the 10mm Auto being the parent cartridge of the .40 S&W. But do they share even more than that? In this week's video, we look at how the 10mm Auto cartridge came to be, and consider the truth behind some of the differences between the two cartridges. Watch this week's video to learn more about the history of the 10mm Auto.
In this week's video, we take a look at the stopping power of the .45 ACP. We are firing into synthetic ballistics gel at approximate FBI Standards with 230gr FMJ and JHP. We also look at the difference in controlled firing speed, as well as testing penetration in the ballistics gel from a range of 50 meters.
