Larry Tests Book Penetration with 9mm, .40, and .45

[chemicalsweet13]

We use 45 ACP for home defense because it's a subsonic round with LESS penetration. That way we don't accidentally shoot someone through a wall that wasn't an intended target. 9mm rounds are faster, produce more penetrating impact but are not recommended for home defense because of the greater risk of collateral damage. Also they don't have as much stopping power as the 45ACP. BTW I don't think you should shoot that close to your target...dangerous.

geez man...what are you eating..? stay on diet dude!

[Thunkful2]

The search for the cheap home-made bullet proof vest. A phone book is not good enough. I wud like to try taking a phone book & soaking it in various things, letting it dry & then trying it. Like, get some slow-drying thin epoxy (maybe epoxy paint or thinned with acetone). Soak & saturate the phone book. Let dry & then give it some shots.

I see trees of green, red roses too.....

Later, while doing more testing, Larry found the natural gas line in his back yard. We miss you Larry. R.I.P.

[dkhill27]

The 9mm is like Muhammad Ali (in his prime)...... Quick fast no knock down power. The .40 is like Rocky Balboa (in his prime).......All around speed and power with some knock down power. The .45 is like Mike Tyson (in his prime)........Prue brute strength and severe knock down power.

[jmk180666]

I wonder if any of those bullets could ake it through your FAT ASSSSSS!!!!

[kharvey507]

went thru that book like you thru a bucket of fried chicken

[AlbertaKris]

not sure what this was testing, or worse, what it proved.

[wissn2112]

books are not people. You woudn't want to get hit with any of the 3 bullets.

[TSgtShoeman]

A 9mm may or may not expand when it encounters its target; But I GUARANTEE you that a .45ACP WILL NOT SHRINK! ;P

[Jzubbs301]

Louis Armstrong lives!!! lol!

[DonaldNatale]

This means that 100% of the energy of the .45 acp is in the target, rather than some of it being wasted in the dirt behind the target after passing through it.

[MegaHairyass]

45acp is shit

[1973Saved]

@MegaHairyass Really? Tell that to the tens of thousands of people killed by them for the past hundred yrs or so & their families.

[blakfalcon1]

it says that a .45 wont shoot through a book, however if you put a 9mm in someone's torso it'll make a little hole in each side, swap that out for a .45 hollow point and i wouldn't be surprised if you could get a hole the size of a grapefruit. .45 = man stopper, one shot, one kill.

[TheDogRomeo]

@blakfalcon1 pure ignorance. do you know anything about loads & types of ammo?

[blakfalcon1]

@TheDogRomeo what part of that is ignorant? yes i do, what "in your very obnoxious opinion" have i got wrong?

[NowLifeStarts]

Does he have a massive flem ball in his throat or is this how he normally talks?

[beretta562]

all this test proves is that user name TMHonfire102 is unmanly unbeastly is a bisexual that takes it up the butt from his redneck butt buddy billy cus he's aways talking about being butt hurt and he makes all of us gun owner's look bad. theres nothing wrong with any of these rounds or guns its all about how well you use them and where you place the shots. really before you watch this video go watch the other dudes video his name TMHonfire102 his video (9mm is for homo's)and40S&W is for bisexuals

[HerbWalker]

Ya killin' me brother! CLEAR your throat!! hahahahaha

Good test! :)

[arizonahotairballoon]

Larry....Larry...Larry

9mm and 40 cal is a penitration round.

45 expands more, for more colateral dammage.

Its simple. the 45 acp shoots 780 feet per second

the 9mm shoot at 1100-1300 feet per second.

You do not have to be the lead cashier at wal-mart to relize the 9mm will penitrate deeper.

Besides you do NOT want you round going through someone bad and into a by-standard behind the target...tacticaly speaking.

you want it to expand and not just put a hole, more damage is good!

[HerbWalker]

@arizonahotairballoon

In my M1911 Im shooting Hornady Critical Defense 185 grain FTX/JHP . At the muzzle,its moving at 1000 FPS........I bet IT will go thru your book:)

[knightlike101]

@arizonahotairballoon I was going to say just that. Good thing I read ahead. Good post.

[1973Saved]

@arizonahotairballoon

The .45 cal ball (unexpanded) makes a hole as big as a 9mm hollow point expanded.

If you get a .45 cal hollowpoint expanded it puts the 9mm.

The video is no good because the guy didn't even know or use the same ammo in each gun & show it to the camera.

If the .45 didn't go through the book why didn't he show us the slug which would have been in the book? Sure looks bogus to me.

[PANT3RA]

dude clear your damn throat!

[MrGlock86]

ITS CHEWBACCA!!!  AARRRGGHH

[flipteezy]

Dude needs a cough drop

[RantinAndRavin]

Dude needs cough and get that phlegm up before making videos

[akalda1]

Can you please swallow before talking?

[RantinAndRavin]

@akalda1 I know right,that's annoying.He's got phlegm.

[boobear1964]

I didn't mean for this video to say anything other than to compare different standard ball ammo and there ability to penetrate paper....

[ariel4more]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. the .45 didn't penetrate both books. THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT IN A DEFENSE GUN. if the bullet goes through the target, that means that all the energy the bullet had wasn't delivered into the target. what part of that don't people understand?

[lexmark136]

@ariel4more Energy transfer isn't really important with these small cartridges, two holes are better than one.

[ibanezkid07]

@ariel4more if the bullet goes through even better cause it went through maximum tissue and bone organ whatever and hes bleeding from two holes hollowpoint wounds dont close up by the way.

[BearCIaw]

plus one round of 9mm +P+ (more pressure hence more power) is about 519 ft/lbs of energy while the only the .45 +P is equivalent... take this information from someone who actually knows what the hell he is talking about

[BearCIaw]

the reason the .45 doesnt penetrate as much because it has more surface area hince .45 of an inch while the 9mm is only .35...plus 9mm is usually 115 or 124 grains of lead average while the .45 is 230 grains (2x the weight)... penetration doesnt show what is more powerful

[Hoshang2]

cut down on those burgers ude

[RussellsParadox]

I guess .45 is for asexuals.

[mitchg233]

Larry, push away from the dessert tray!

[lXlRIVERlXl]

Lol, .45 is actually the homo round!!!

[blindskatr420]

.40 cal, best of both worlds... 'nuff said.

[b0mccue]

good video. Proof and no opinion.

[FreeAgain2]

You may need about 9 inches of phone books - soaked - to actually catch various types of bullets.

[X7xthebigcheesex7X]

clear your throat dude ah lol

[kauzica]

larry mother fuck
