9mm 74 gr ARX fired from 4.5" Glock 22 with Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel and .45 ACP 114 gr ARX fired from 5" 1911A1.

Unfortunately, this block failed calibration but only by a small margin. This means that the penetration results are slightly inaccurate, but otherwise, it should still be a reasonably accurate representation of potential and still more accurate than Clearballistics gel. The BB calibration result was 498.1 fps and 4.1". Max allowed penetration is 3.75". That said, the gel blocks are approximately 14" long.

Full disclosure: This ammunition was provided at no cost to me by the manufacturer.

Great work! I thank you for taking the time to make a great video and going to the trouble of producing the tests to present us this information.

Results like this never really impress me much(regarding the ammunition) though. We aren't being attacked by ballistics gelatins, we are being attacked by people. People wear clothes, have bones, etc. super lightweight for caliber bullets driven at high speed make for impressive gel results, but there is no way I would trust them with my life.

thank you for the encouragement. I would not consider that impressive results.according to Dr Fackler and Dr Roberts, properly prepared 10% gelatin produces results that strongly correlate with human soft tissue.
