22 Magnum Versus Ballistics Gel

I was so close that the unburnt powder was actually imbedded in the gel.
@duane2072 on a side not it looks like what somones insides would look like if you shot them 5 times with a .22mag lol
@duane2072 Thanks for the complements! You should make a video of you shooting your gel. It would be interesting to compare the effects of a polymer-tipped bullet to a JHP.
@metalstorm91291 Na, nothing to be embarressed about. This is how we all learn. It was a good video. I shot alot of the Hornaday V-Max 30 gr and I really wanted to see the first strike. But, hey, what do ya do. I just made some gel and when I get some time im gonna go out and shoot it with the JHP 40 gr. I want to see the wound channel on that because that is one little whicked round. We will see how it goes.
@duane2072 At around 1:15 you can see where my first shot hit. That would be about the size of an actual wound channel. However, when I made this video I just wanted to make some gel to shoot at. I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to its consistency, so it may not be a very accurate representation of flesh. It should be close, but it’s definitely not perfect.
Now that I have grown up a bit I would like to do a more accurate test with better equipment. It’s a bit embarrassing in that regard.
Unfortunately you kept shooting the gel so one cant see what the actual wound channel would look like. But it is a lot bigger then I imagined. I should do one with a .22 mag jhp 40 gr..
@braveheart14airsoft y dont u take your gay ass airsoft “gun” and shove it in your ass
i wasnt expecting the 22 mag to do that much.
@metalstorm91291 and at close range it could stop an attacker not to mention that was less time and $ then the emergency room bill
@braveheart14airsoft In case you haven’t noticed, most things in life take time and cost money, and many of those things are less fun and rewarding than testing ammunition on ballistics gel. It took less time and money to make the gel in the video than it would to bake a fancy cake, and was far more rewarding in the long run. For instance, now I know that the ammunition in the video isn’t suitable for hunting small game at close range. The bullet fragments would ruin the meat.
why dont you just shoot your foot instead of wasting time and mony makeing ballistic gel? idiots
HEY! lol Your gel just sploded off the table
You should do a 125 yard test with a 40gr HP .22WMR and with the 30gr V-Max. If someone else did a 125yd test with the .17hmr 17gr V-Max & 20gr TNT then this all would be useful video information & quite interesting.
@asus3571 yeah ha ha very true strory there 2 judges the cheaper one that gets bad reviews has a nasty trigger pull intigraded fireing mechanism 13 pound pull i think the other is a double action its very nice but your right on the recoil i bet its nasty .410’s out of a 2/12inch barrel let alone the .45’s it can shot
@asus3571 Dang! I saw what you said about getting shot in the head earlier, but your comment was a bit garbled so I didn’t really think you had actually been shot in the head. Anyway, I just did some research on the judge and I got rather negative results from people who have them. Plus, the judge is rather lightweight, and with the cartridges its shooting it would probably have some pretty nasty recoil. I’ll get back to you later with a recommendation after I do a bit more research.
@metalstorm91291 yea .357 is unmatched i have a little personal relationship with .357 i was shot in the head in 93 with one so even with that beast of a gun its still very possible to walk away from a death shotno joke either but i do agree its prob one of the best home defense guns around outside of a shotgun thanks for the recomendation though not so sure .357 is the one for me given the cercomstanses any other recomendations was thinkin of the tarus judge watta u think???
@asus3571 Get a large revolver that can use both the .38 special and the .357 magnum. The heavier the gun, the less kick you’ll feel. I also know from experience that, though the .357 has a good bit of kick, it’s not too bad, even one handed. I would strongly recommend using the .357 over the .38 for home defense, because, in terms of pistols, the .357 is unmatched at stopping someone with a single shot, while I’ve heard of people resisting even after being hit multiple times by .38 rounds.
@DirtyFrigginHarry what did he do??
@asus3571
what about doing that thing Tom Cruise does in Valkryie?
You know if you”re going to shell out the cash for ballistic gel, It would really benefit you to have a proper stand or box for it.
@asus3571 Yeah, I’d go .38 then
@timmyjunior1 YEAH WAS THINKIN THE .38 .357 TOO MUCH KICK THAT CALIBRE HAS PATICULAR HAS SPECIAL MEANING I WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH ONE IN 93 STILL HERE (LOL)
@asus3571 Then a double action revolver is what you have left, go with a .38 special or a .357
@timmyjunior1 REALLY APPRECIATE THE ANSWER MY PROB IS MY LEFT ARM IS PARALYZED SO A .380 OR 9MM WONT WORK THERE ALL SLIDEBACKS UNLESS IF U KNOW A SAFE WAY TO OPERATE A SLIDEDBACK ONE HANDED I DONT KNOW OF ANY AND I HAVE KIDS SO SAFTY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THANKS ANY SUGGESTIONS??
@asus3571 For hd if it must be a one handed gun then go with either a 9mm or a .380 since you can only hold with one hand.
@timmyjunior1 well being my left arm is paralyzed cant shot a shotgun was thinking about the tuarus judge itll do 410’s out of a handgun any sugesstions? thanks
@asus3571 Buy a shotgun for home defense. Handguns aren’t very good for that task.
