The Hidden Danger of Ported Barrels: Ported vs Non-Ported
This video tests the performance of ported firearm barrels by comparing a non-ported Glock 42 with a ported Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0. The test, which involves shooting rounds under a piece of cardboard, aims to determine if ported barrels fling fragments. The results showed no fragments ejected from the Bodyguard 2.0's ports. The creator theorizes this is because the ports in the Bodyguard 2.0 are located on an un-rifled portion of the barrel. The video concludes that while ported barrels reduce muzzle rise, their effectiveness varies by design, and emphasizes the importance of firearm safety, including eye protection and proper muzzle direction.
