I'd consider any round that doesn't reliably cycle the firearm to be a fail, before even considering ballistic performance

Just wait until you hit that incendiary bullet with the mower 😂

RIP rounds are the ammo equivalent of gas station knives

You try to rob me you will be filled with 115 grain fmj practice rounds. Of various brands. Their will be 12 different countries sponsoring the holes in your body. 😂

The blue boom boom round is a self-offense bullet

Home defense rounds, you really don't want too much penetration. I'm more interested in Gel block test!

@timothym9398 2 months ago

To be fair, if the bullets advertisement says "minimum penetration in exchange for maximum flesh and bone damage" I don't really consider it a failure if it achieves low penetration, and massive wound channel. That's not so much of a failure, as a different goal set, and trying to accomplish the same end result through a different strategy.

I believe the boom boom defense bullet needs tested on a ham with bones. For science!

I am a +30 year ffl gunsmith. I do consultant work on ballistics for court. Most average people will look at these specialty bullets thinking that it has to work better, because it "looks" more lethal. A well placed shot from a regular fmj to the right place is very effective all to its own.

I still feel that RIP rounds would make you look bad in front of a jury and get you in trouble.

Several years ago, I saw some ammo from a company called MagSafe. The projectiles were compressed tungsten powder. They were supposed to be the ultimate in soft tissue damage without have any chance of over penetration or less chance of going through building materials.

Update: I found some of this ammo. I worked at a range in Atlanta that carried MagSafe ammo. They had a demo there one year and my wife bought some for a tiny little Keltec P32 she carried sometimes. I dug through some old ammo and realized MagSafe changed their name to Extreme Shock. I have an 6 round pack of .32acp.😂😂😂😂

someone gonna need to do a video with one of those belt fed 9mm frt set ups with those blue tips lmao

The MHP was discontinued because they failed to expand frequently. Especially when shot through cloth.

@MattSmith-us3ru 2 months ago

If you live in an apartment complex or a family home with a bunch of kids rooms throughout the house or something like that, a round with consistently great expansion and 7 inches of penetration through any realistic amount of clothing seems to me like just about the best 9mm you can get for home defense.

2:24. Toilet Guy missed a chance to comment: “Full length barrel”, don’t flatter yourself.

@AdamPONeal1167 2 months ago

At 6:15, I can’t believe he didn’t make one of his signature, hilarious, self-deprecating jokes when he stated he wasn’t “use to handling that much length.” 🤣 Love this channel!
