howdy guys and gals welcome to the social regressive where tonight we are
gonna be testing some great apocalyptic ammunition this is streaked ammo this is
a kind of a safe tracer it has a glow-in-the-dark substance at the back
of it and these just happen to be 9-millimeter 115 grain hollow points
these are designed for defense and they are priced such so what we're gonna do
is I haven't actually tested these to see how they perform on gel and we're
gonna do that here tonight with these blocks and hopefully we're gonna be able
to catch that glow at the butt of the projectile after we put them here in the
blocks the test equipment that we are using tonight is the fabulous Smith &
Wesson M&P 2.0 this is the the nine-millimeter right here this has that
5 inch barrel I have been testing this recently and I just love it
this is the pistol that I've been waiting over 10 years for a lot of the
polymer pisser's pistols have been leaving me dry but this one is just
wonderful very accurate I love the way it feels love the mechanics so yeah we're
gonna be putting the round here in jail we're gonna see what kind of damage it
does since this is a hollow-point and it's designed to be defensive let's see
what this does
there it is boys and girls at a distance of seven yards this has performed just
the way that we want it to so this has a cut that opens up very quickly you can
see that it expands almost immediately gets to its maximum width right over
there that's about an inch wide and then it kind of stops that that major cutting
once it gets here to about ten inches from there it kind of goes dormant goes
all the way through block number one so now we are in we're out about looks like
we went to 18 inches and bounced back to 17 so this does have more penetration
than a lot of the defensive loads you're gonna find out there but I'm really
happy with it I like the way that this is punched it's a good hard hit
good cut right back through here you might consider this over penetration but
some people say it's just penetration enough
fresh from the ballistics-gel this is textbook perfect performance right here
look at this nice and wide we have neatly curled petals this looks like
it's not going to have lost much weight look at the the amount of base that's
left there we still have plenty of projectile packing that punch and that's one
of the reasons we were able to get that kind of deeper distance let's see what
dimensions we're working with these petals have opened up okay just passed a
1/2 inch 1/2 inch exactly 1/2 inch exactly so it looks like all the way
around we're looking at a 1/2 inch of expansion very neat very uniform and you
can see that the projectile was still pointing forward no tumbling this is
a very stable little round so let's see what this is on the whate this used to
be 115 and we have lost a total of 0.3 grains so this has held together
wonderfully even at that close distance I remember that this hit was 7 yards
and if this was going to kind of blow into chunks it would be within that
distance so I think that this one is going to be a very solid one to choose
if you're looking for ammunition for maybe pest control around your place you
have a 9 millimeter pistol you'd like to use or maybe one of the AR rifles one of
the little what do they call it pistol caliber carbines something that you want
to be able to use for kind of flexible varmint control around your area maybe
you have coyotes come in a little close I think this is going to be a just a
really cool way to go because if you do miss you'll be able to see where you
missed one of the most annoying things about firing at night is that you a
lot of time you can't even see what happened and that's what we were running
into and we were doing some of our tests with our gas masks if we did miss the
target there just we didn't have enough resolution we couldn't see any dirt
splashes or mud or anything we had no idea what had happened and this is gonna
streak right into the target and tell you what's going on all right check this
out you know how I said at the base of these is a glow-in-the-dark substance
that it doesn't actually burn watch this alright I'm hitting it
with a flashlight now that's it that's what you see flying through the
air and this is being charged up by a flashlight but remember that the light
that's being generated when this powder burns is probably about as bright as the
Sun it's really really bright in there so it's gonna supercharge this and make
it so you can actually see it flying downrange at night now this is nowhere
near as bright as what you're gonna get with you know one of like the the
phosphorous sort of burns you get with a regular tracer but it's also not as
dangerous so yeah it's a good choice and if it is dark enough if it's well past
dusk you will be able to see this well thanks a lot to patrons of the
destructive arts that make these videos possible we have sportsmen guide and
Stan and Mary at the 338 Lapua Magnum level we have Joseph Davis we have mr.
no-name and we have Peter at the 300 Win Mag level and then we have a bunch of
folks that are chipping in just a buck or two a month to keep weird tests like
these going we're gonna be testing all kinds of ammunition on gel and the big
stuff you're gonna be watching for is gonna be a rifle ammunition we're gonna
be testing some six five Creedmoor and some 243 at realistic distances how
would you like to see what a projectile does at 400 yards not ten yards we're
gonna be getting into that and this is gonna be a whole lot of fun do not miss
