This video argues for the superior stopping power and impact of the .45 ACP cartridge over the 9mm. While acknowledging the advantages of 9mm in terms of weight, speed, and controllability, the presenter emphasizes the .45 ACP's historical effectiveness and its authority in decisive engagements. The content directly addresses the common debate between these two popular handgun calibers and positions the .45 ACP as the choice for those prioritizing uncompromising power and fight-stopping force.
This video provides an in-depth look at the FN SCAR 17, exploring its real-world applications as a battle rifle and its cultural impact, particularly in video games like Fortnite. The creator discusses its design origins, its strengths and weaknesses, and its place in modern firearms discourse. The review touches on its heavy-hitting power, modularity, and iconic status, even mentioning its use in Afghanistan and its penetration capabilities. The video also features mentions of Arrowhead Tactical, Americana Pipe Dream, and Optics Planet, alongside a humorous DUNE skit and a BFIV shooting montage.
This video from Tactical Rifleman compares the M855 "Green Tip" ammunition with the newer M855A1 round fielded by the US Army. It delves into the history and design evolution of these 5.56mm rounds, explaining the rationale behind the M855's steel core addition for improved barrier penetration and accuracy at distance, compared to the older M193. The discussion then shifts to the M855A1, a lead-free round developed to address environmental concerns and enhance terminal ballistics. The presenter highlights the M855A1's improved accuracy, flash suppressant, better barrier penetration, and unique fragmentation mechanism in soft tissue, differentiating it from the M855's performance.
This video, titled 'Hard Barrier Penetration: Why It's Important (I.E. Auto Glass)', focuses on the practical application of firearm capabilities, specifically the ability to penetrate common barriers like automotive glass. While the video doesn't explicitly mention specific firearms or calibers, the title and context strongly suggest a discussion about ballistics, terminal ballistics, and the performance of ammunition when encountering obstacles. The creator, The Yankee Marshal, uses this content to encourage viewer support through platforms like Patreon and to promote merchandise, emphasizing a message of taking control away from 'corporate America'. The video aims to educate viewers on a specific aspect of firearm performance relevant to self-defense and tactical scenarios.
This video from SHOT 2017 introduces Polycase Ammo, a unique projectile designed with a polymer and copper blend. The claims suggest it offers both frangibility for safety and superior barrier penetration compared to traditional hollow points. Furthermore, the ammo's terminal ballistics are purported to be enhanced by a 'churn' effect caused by its propeller-like fluting, negating the need for expansion. The presenter acknowledges these are significant claims and expresses interest in acquiring samples for future testing.
This video demonstrates a Marine Force Recon technique for shooting through "bulletproof" vehicle glass. The presenter, Rob, tests different types of vehicle glass, including safety glass, laminated windshields, and multi-layered "bulletproof" glass. He explains that "bulletproof" glass is designed to stop fragmentation and small arms fire, not necessarily high-powered rounds or specialized sniper projectiles. The demonstration shows that while 5.56mm ammunition with an AR rifle couldn't penetrate all layers of the "bulletproof" glass in a single shot, repeated shots in the same location eventually breached it by destroying layers. The video also outlines tactical applications for vehicle interdiction, emphasizing stopping the vehicle and then concentrating fire on the driver's area.
This video conducts a barrier penetration test on Hornady Critical Duty 9mm ammunition, comparing its performance against sheet metal and wood before testing in ballistic gel. The reviewer also includes a comparison test with 147gr Gold Dot ammunition. The goal is to assess the claimed superior barrier penetration capabilities of the Critical Duty round for defensive handgun use. The reviewer expresses anticipation that the findings may be surprising.
This video from the VSO Gun Channel investigates the barrier penetration capabilities of the 5.56x45mm cartridge against a block wall.
