a ruler across the top here all right so this thing is NUMBER_TOKEN inches long as a NUMBER_TOKEN inch long block of gel so we used three different types of ammunition in our testing we first shot i believe this is a new load from federal it's a NUMBER_TOKEN grain NUMBER_TOKEN hollow point that's guaranteed to expand and at least penetrate NUMBER_TOKEN inches into gelatin to meet fbi standards fbi standards says that a bullet must penetrate NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN inches to be the most effective and so the claim is is that this round will do it another cartridge that uh we love we tested a specific load i should say is the the NUMBER_TOKEN green extreme defender from underwood using a lehigh machined bullet and then as a control we fired a NUMBER_TOKEN grain yep NUMBER_TOKEN grain pmc ball round all right so let's first talk about the performance of the federal hollow point and it traveled about NUMBER_TOKEN inches in but there's a it stretches to NUMBER_TOKEN inches and then the bullet bounced back which is common in the silicon based test medium because the silicon is more durable than organic gelatin so it'll stretch and come back uh it's a little bit more elastic i should say than regular gel so it bounced in and then kind of came back to rest at NUMBER_TOKEN inches but it it went just a hair over NUMBER_TOKEN inches total of penetration which you can see from the wound channel now you can also see if i tilt this down if you look at this top track you can see a blossom and that blossom comes in right about eight inches in and continues on to um to you know the NUMBER_TOKEN inch mark or so starts right here about eight inches and then that blossom ends where the bullet stretched back and just a little over NUMBER_TOKEN inches so it has pretty good stretching going on right here in the gel it blossoms just a little bit with the stretch cavity where it enters and then it's just a hole then it blossoms again the bullet did tumble and it came to rest backwards right at NUMBER_TOKEN inches again so pretty good performance out of that hollow point that's exactly what federal claims it will do and that is most definitely lethal so the next round that we fired would be the underwood NUMBER_TOKEN grain extreme defender now a nine millimeter i love this this load um but this has that screwdriver tip type bullet and that will be this bottom track that you see here and then the bullet came to rest right here so if we put up our grid
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
