Am so glad you tested this bullet for me. I now know what not to load in my .40 cal glock. Will stick with Winchester Rangers or PDX-1 bullets. Thank you.
65 degree temp on the block of gel is likely the test failing point. The metallurgy on the powder is not designed to expand at low temps- so unless you're shooting zombies I'd really like to see the results on a block of gel at average body temperature. Unless the gel melts at 98 degrees, in which case you cant properly test the powder core frangibles with it...
Gel will start to melt well below 98 degrees. Calibrated ordinance gel is actually at a lower temp and has to be refrigerated. I monitor the temps on this, but refrigeration is not necessary. Above a certain temp, it's too soft and the BB calibration is off.
Why do other rounds I tests in this temp range generally work? There has to be consistency in the test; this ammo failed within that protocol. If one ammo works and another doesn't, it's the ammo.
I'm not an expert, but THE experts will tell you that frangible handgun rounds such as this are a fail. If they worked so well, every police department in the U.S. would be using frangible handgun rounds. Few if any do. My decision on what I carry is based in part on LEO tests and/or street performance.
This is great ammo....its made so that you can kill the "badguy" and not hit your kids in the other room....i know it works good do to the 1,500lb cow with one 9x19 air freedom round....works for hogs also ....if i can drop a 1500lb cow with one 9x19 round then i know the 40 will work well.....1500lbs vs 175lb man ???? what do you think ?
@tnoutdoors9 I think the graphs are representations of kinetic energy transfer not what the medium would look like. I'm not sure if that's what you where trying to explain. I was very surprised with this test. Thanks for taking one for the team!
@TheHortond The point is that it's a test of the "worst-case scenario". Yes, it's extremely unlikely that someone will be wearing 4 layers of denim, but it's comforting knowing that if someone is you can rely on your ammo. That's why this is a testing standard. You don't test the ideal scenario because real-life situations are rarely ideal. You test things attempting to make them fail so you know what they're capable of.
These rounds are relatively new to the pre-frag market when compared to the other pre-frag companies. Extreme Shock is going out of business if I'm not mistaken. I've tested both Magsafe and Glaser rounds which have been around for almost 40 years and have been perfected. I don't use them for social work though, great for taking out caged animals without damaging the cage on the other side of the critter. Comparing Extreme Shock to Glaser is insulting.
Love your vids.. Always great insight .. I was wanting to pick everyone's brain as to what's the best ammo for home defense.. Something that can stop a bad guy but not continue through walls and injure a sleeping child in the next room??
Sorry you lost your bet but it was only a drop in the bucket compared to the cash you had to lay down for the twelve rounds of big-dollar, astonishing, talc-like ammo.
I agreed with opisex tn in my opinion you make some of the best if not the best ballistic test here youtube hell I think ammo manufacturer's should start to donate ammo to you so we all can see if think can really back up some of their so called marketing gimmicks
Each block is melted, particles strained, then recast. It takes approx. 4 days before it's good to go again. I use a 24" Stanley toolbox for the mold. Even with it being sealed, if a block sits for 10-14 days it can get below spec, as in less than 3.25 BB penetration. When that happens, I simply remelt and add appropriate amounts of water. That also screws up my testing schedule. I'm coming up on the one year anniversary of using this stuff.
@tnoutdoors9 great channel and awesome reviews!! you get down to the point and know what youre talking about!! ive made quite a few purchases of sd ammo from your reviews.have you tested hornady zombie max in the .40 s&w?
Way cool ballistics test. Gee, that ammo sure is a little costly. Oh, I will let you know where to send that five bucks. I was really expecting some more from that ammo. Great video and very well done ballistics test.
u measured .380avg.,measure a new bullet,see what you get.iam thinkin u tumbled b4 entering denim. i got .398" on a 155gr ranger jhp. u may not b engaging rifling well.
Very interesting... I was think about buying this round for home protection... How ever the legal ramifications in Kalifornia maybe beyond what I am willing to deal with.... And you showed that no ammo is100% all the time. Thanks!
@ashepp7 hydroshocks dude. Keep it simple. The goal is NOT to over penetrate and not to go through objects, just stop the bad guy. Thats it. No real legal ramifications to worry about. You are either scared for your life and put in a position to defend it or youre not.
Thank you very much for testing this hyped up round. I much rather have a heavy hard hitting massive expanding round. HSTs, Ranger-Ts, & Gold Dots, I'm completely loyal to them.
Do you know if Extreme Shock has a new telephnoe number tried calling them on the phone listed on their web site unable to get through got a sound like a fax machine. Iused tjhis ammo on a side of beef made quite an impressive entry wound veryexpensive not target ammo for sure. Also they claim they are lead free but I'm wondering how carcinogenic might be the so call Nytryilum powder.
It is expensive but it's not ammo for the range, it's ammo you buy once and hope to never have to shoot.
I use it for my carry gun at work because I have businesses on both sides of my shop. I don't want my rounds to penetrate walls and harm innocent people.
Yours is the one of the most detailed and scientific ballistic analysis I have witnessed in a long time. Thumbs up and subscribed. Will be visiting again soon.
Extreme Shock is what you get when you see the price. That's because "Tungsten-Ny Tryllium" is manufactured from unobtanium which is mined all way over in Whatchacallitstan.
Thanks for the look. My .40 will carry other, street proven ammo. It is nice to see that other manufactures are thinking outside the box, but this one is not for me.
Thank You Very Much! We appreciate someone going through the expense and time to give us the TRUTH. $2.50 a shot!?! That would add up to some serious change for a Glock 22 or 23 and a spare mag. Forget practicing with the stuff to see if it functions reliably.
I just like these videos. $2.50-$3 a round makes my wallet cramp. This stuff just screams gimmick. Golden sabers, gold dots, ranger t's, federal hst/tatical, and cor-Bon dpx( or any other round loaded with that same Barnes bullet) would be my personal choices.
The reason the standard is 4 layers of denim is because we are planning on defending against Canadian criminals. In all seriousness though, 4 layers of denim should not have prevented this round from performing as advertised if theyre charging more than two bucks per round; thats just a rip off. If youre in a plane use less-than-lethal ammo, anywhere else use a JHP. plain and simple.
when it comes to handgun rounds Saftey Slugs are way more nasty and are a lil more safer when it comes to penitration and a doctors nightmare. but a good ol shot gun with bird shot loaded in it is by far the best home defense. 7 1/2 shot will never go through a wall maybe at point blank but it will still rat hole somebody real nice at close range.
@benz254 Will the bullet explode in the chest cavity or against bone and barely nick heart or lungs? I'ld stick with good old hollow points for handguns
@huntwithairguns again im not talkin about killin the crack head im talkin about NOT killin my neighbor and just stoppin the crackhead or wounding to the point that i can take over the situation. you cant tell me anykind of shotgun round is goin to put somebody in there place.
@benz254 If someone breaks into your house, there is a decent change they are hopped up on drugs. Those little tiny BB's aren't going to do much to him. I'd rather kill the intruder than to have to deal with him in court. At least use some larger sized shot than 7.5.
@Composer1777 Many of the people I've interviewed say they aren't made of ballistics gel; you know, they seem to think they've got muscles, bones and fat and stuff. A bullet which penetrates 17" in gel would probably penetrate people material a little less readily.
A nice sharp sword or baseball bat would be a better apartment defense weapon than gimmicky ammo few people would want (or could afford) to function test in their firearms.
What really makes me giggle is this: even though the round failed to expand, the resulting wound might have been better at incapacitating a bad guy than a wound generated by its "optimal" performance.
Anyway, that $5 bet is more than covered by all of the tests you've done. For all of their fury in marketing, we don't see the manufacturers doing publicly available ballistics tests like yours!
Too Much $ for not enough Performance. I have been telling my Brother for years this stuff is Crap for self defence.. Still sticking to the Gold Dot / Ranger T Series and Critical defense thanks to you! lol
Think they would be awesome for showing off to your buddies at the range, by blowing up melons and milk jugs and stuff. Other than that, more trouble than they are worth. For the record, Abby is the one that keeps Gibbs informed on ballistics. ;-)
But i would love to see this ammo with a bare block and some melons. After seeing the water jug i really determine to find out whats the cause of the tungsten tip to not expand with the denim. Ive seen many vids with bare gel and plain barrel and water and that ammo had me convinced. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for making this vid, ive bought a few boxes of their air freedoms,extreme penetrations, and fang face. But neatly to say i keep critical defenses in all my home defenses. They discontinued their fang face due to hollowpoint issues in their state, and to save cost the plug the hollow cavity with a copper plug instead of tungsten. Thanks again for replying to my post about this ammo.
Extreme Shock ? More like Extreme Fail LOL, am i right ? I remember the first time i saw this ammo on the internet years ago, and i never could take it seriously, and after this video, nothing has changed. What i wanna know is how is this company still in business ?
All ammo test results.....bullets, expended brass, video files on DVD, photos, water jugs, hair follicle samples, etc., are sent to an underground bunker near Area 51 in Nevada.
Seriously, I use the tested bullets to fill potholes in my driveway; it's the Tennessee way.
I agree with your decision to not retest, but for a different reason. In a self defense situation, the round you fire must perform first time, every time or you can't count on it. You fired that round, it didn't expand, the bad guy wasn't stopped and now you are a victum. Seems to me there are plenty of cheaper and more dependable choices of ammo out there.
@tnoutdoors9 Thanks for the video and thanks for sticking to your guns and not retesting... you get one chance, right? What if that had been the chambered round and you had to defend yourself... You may not get a second chance in that situation either. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year!

when it comes to handgun rounds Saftey Slugs are way more nasty and are a lil more safer when it comes to penitration and a doctors nightmare. but a good ol shot gun with bird shot loaded in it is by far the best home defense. 7 1/2 shot will never go through a wall maybe at point blank but it will still rat hole somebody real nice at close range.

@benz254 Will the bullet explode in the chest cavity or against bone and barely nick heart or lungs? I'ld stick with good old hollow points for handguns

@benz254 Good luck killing a crack head with 7 1/2 shot. Birdshot is worthless for penetration. I'll take 00 buck instead.

@huntwithairguns again im not talkin about killin the crack head im talkin about NOT killin my neighbor and just stoppin the crackhead or wounding to the point that i can take over the situation. you cant tell me anykind of shotgun round is goin to put somebody in there place.

@benz254 If someone breaks into your house, there is a decent change they are hopped up on drugs. Those little tiny BB's aren't going to do much to him. I'd rather kill the intruder than to have to deal with him in court. At least use some larger sized shot than 7.5.

@Composer1777 Many of the people I've interviewed say they aren't made of ballistics gel; you know, they seem to think they've got muscles, bones and fat and stuff. A bullet which penetrates 17" in gel would probably penetrate people material a little less readily.
A nice sharp sword or baseball bat would be a better apartment defense weapon than gimmicky ammo few people would want (or could afford) to function test in their firearms.

What really makes me giggle is this: even though the round failed to expand, the resulting wound might have been better at incapacitating a bad guy than a wound generated by its "optimal" performance.
Anyway, that $5 bet is more than covered by all of the tests you've done. For all of their fury in marketing, we don't see the manufacturers doing publicly available ballistics tests like yours!

Typical blue jeans are double layered. Think of the four layers as someone wearing Carhartt or other heavy-duty work apparel.

Think they would be awesome for showing off to your buddies at the range, by blowing up melons and milk jugs and stuff. Other than that, more trouble than they are worth. For the record, Abby is the one that keeps Gibbs informed on ballistics. ;-)

Well they said on their advertising disintegrates on HARD targets interior walls etc... should starts doing dry wall testing with hollowpoint ammo.
DrKlickklackPow 2 months ago
But i would love to see this ammo with a bare block and some melons. After seeing the water jug i really determine to find out whats the cause of the tungsten tip to not expand with the denim. Ive seen many vids with bare gel and plain barrel and water and that ammo had me convinced. Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks for making this vid, ive bought a few boxes of their air freedoms,extreme penetrations, and fang face. But neatly to say i keep critical defenses in all my home defenses. They discontinued their fang face due to hollowpoint issues in their state, and to save cost the plug the hollow cavity with a copper plug instead of tungsten. Thanks again for replying to my post about this ammo.

All ammo test results.....bullets, expended brass, video files on DVD, photos, water jugs, hair follicle samples, etc., are sent to an underground bunker near Area 51 in Nevada.
Seriously, I use the tested bullets to fill potholes in my driveway; it's the Tennessee way.

I agree with your decision to not retest, but for a different reason. In a self defense situation, the round you fire must perform first time, every time or you can't count on it. You fired that round, it didn't expand, the bad guy wasn't stopped and now you are a victum. Seems to me there are plenty of cheaper and more dependable choices of ammo out there.

@tnoutdoors9 Thanks for the video and thanks for sticking to your guns and not retesting... you get one chance, right? What if that had been the chambered round and you had to defend yourself... You may not get a second chance in that situation either. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year!
