i think the 9mm has a deeper penetration because of its small fast bullet, whereas a .40 can reach around the same speeds it has a larger heavier bullet so it is fighting the friction alittle more. the 45 is an example of a fat slow bullet, they are all good man stoppers as long as you get good shot placement
Great video, you can make a comparison of 9 mm vs .38 super. I trie to find a video like that but i don´t found nothing and would be very interesting to see the results.
correct me if imm worng but a bullet that creates two holes (entry and exit) seems to me to be more damaging than a bullet that transfers more energy to said target. two holes= more blood loss?
@2323Proverbs Let me first say, I'm no gun expert. But in my opinion, I think a smaller caliber weapon is deadlier than a larger caliber. A .22 round is very deadly, eventhough it may not penetrate through. This is because a .22 round may bounce around in the body causing more damage to other organs rather than the initial point of entry.
@2323Proverbs It's possible. Blood loss is a great factor towards incapacitation of an aggressor, but it isn't the only way to bring something down. A bullet that does not exit that inflicts more internal injury could also be the way to win the fight. No two bullets will ever hit the exact same way though....so many factors come into play ;) Your overall shooting fundamentals are what is going to win the fight, in my opinion.
@2323Proverbs thats true for longer term, it will stop them (die from blood loss) but the term stopping power (from my understanding) is to stop them from whatever they are doing the energy transfer is supposed to put them in a state of shock, which im guessing triggers the flight response.
@2323Proverbs Depends on what you're trying to accomplish, if your goal is to stop someone asap, then you want the bullet to transfer all it's kinetic energy to the intended target..if you want to kill said target, then the more open wounds the better for faster bleed-out, but could take minutes before assailant drops..not the best scenario if you're under attack.
@trekbsg There are so many factors though. In some cases....having a round that penetrates more could be a huge benefit...why wait for them to put their head out the window when you can shoot them through the wall ;)
good video, thats why i tell people not to make 9mm look bad, because the 38 super (9mm) in 1911 frame was used in the 30s for a bit more penetration of car doors, and other mob shootouts where people hid behind walls and barriers, this is when the extra penetration mattered in saving your life, and the 45 getting stuck in a wall or car door could cost a person their life. most civillains shoot it out by a vehicle, business, or home invasions and barriers must be pentrated.
230 grain 45 hollow point any kind is going to have more knock down then any popular pistol round. I know about 44 mag and .50 but realistic carry? I don't know anyone who packs around dirty hairy or a heavy ass desert eagle. My 2 cents
@utahbigdodge Usually true, but a lot of people cannot put a .45 where they need it to be, time after time. Shot placement is always key! In my opinion the 9mm and .45 ALMOST even out. When you compare the speed of the bullet, and the weight of the bullet the 9mm isn't far behind. :)
IMO the 10 is the best because it stopped. It had way more power to begin with and it transferred all that energy to the book. The ones that penetrated transfer less energy. yes the 9mm can penetrate armor BETTER than the 10, but it still CANT penetrate any descent armor. No handgun cartridge can, not even 5-7. so its a pointless advantage to have, specially when ur sacrificing stopping power for it. the ONLY real world advantage to those smaller calibers is round count. Debate ended lol
@boombap420 The 9mm doesn't penetrate better than the 10mm. In the heaviest weights of their respective calibers the sectional density is greater on the 10mm and performs much better. Of all the rounds used its generally the only one considered for hunting where penetration is very crucial. The reason here is round nose vs hollow point and if you looked closely at the end of the video the 10mm has expanded pretty drastically.
@boombap420 Agreeing that 10mm is the best just not for the reasons you listed :) A guy named Chuck Hawks has a pretty good article about sectional density that can be found pretty easily with google. There are also online calculators you can plug in the raw numbers and it will give you a better understanding of how bullet weight changes things.
@boombap420 Yes. people overlook the 'penetrating power' to transfer of energy of said round. If it's going through your target it's not taking all the energy "dished out".
cool video. 10mm is a beast. my personal home protection is a .45. 10mm, 40,and 9mm are all great rounds which is why they are all so popular. they will all definately do the job. a 230 grain bullet though should definately have more knock down power and less penetration. thats why i choose 45 for home defense. 10mm is definately the strongest round tested here though
É TANTA IGNORANCIA Q SOU OBRIGADO A EXPLICAR E UMA VEZ SO. PRESTA ATENÇÃO RAPAZ: O MELHOR CALIBRE É O 38, POIS NAO TEM PONTO NA FRENTE. É 38, TREZOITAO MESMO.

the reason why the 9mm was the only to go through is bcuz its the skinniest round and also the fastest travelling one, but i still would much rather a .45 in any situation because it has much more stopping power than any other of these cartridges
@GoldenEagle520 The 10mm will be traveling faster than the 9mm. It failed to go through more because it was hollow point even than it being larger. FBI testing showed that the 10mm is the best round for causing damage [just couldn't be handled by some].
Nice comparison. However in a self defense situation,you don't always want the over penetration especially in doors around others. Either one will kill a man yes, but the energy displacement in human tissue and bone with the .45 is greater. More damage and a much faster "stop" in most cases proper shot placement. Just my 2 cents.
@truckie118 I have not either, but these are scary times we are living in. You don't know who to trust! Argh!!!! Down with the books! Kill or be killed I say...
the 9mm has more penetration, at least in ball, but the 45 will disperse more energy into the target, not to mention a bigger hole.
Therefore, which is better? I'm not exactly sure at this point; but I think the overwhelming evidence is in favor of heavy/slow over light/fast when it comes to handgun ammunition - in any caliber
@robbopaloobop It is all debatable. There is a reason the arguments never come to a cease fire. I think most modern calibers are adequate in most situations. I could see how in certain situations you might want a bit more penetration, if someone is behind a wall, or wearing thick clothes you might need the bullet to start going through something before starting to expand. But, if they are in thin clothes, the 9 might just poke a hole. It all depends on how it's used. Make your own choice :)
@dawgtorsa I would agree with that. I was trying to decide what to carry for security work. I need something that will expend its energy in the target so .38 special would be more ideal for me than the 9mm. (They only let you carry one of those two calibers in security). However if my goal was penetrating objects or heavy clothing perhaps even body armor then I might go with the 9mm.
9mm can have the best of both wolds, make that 3! 1. super deep penetration w/ any fmj specially 124gr. fmj nato spec. 2. good defence round w/ new style hp. 3. good controllability. im a gun nut so there really isnt a bad round. there all fun, even the big magnums.
This makes the point that in an urban/home defense situation OVER penetration is a VERY SERIOUS consideration. You want to stop the bad guy, but not kill your children in the other room, or your neighbors next door. 45 has lots of energy transfer to stop an attacker without going through walls and endangering others.
@birdmanmn Very true. Different calibers serve great purposes and you just have to evaluate what is best for your environment and any possible situations. Sometimes penetration is a great thing, but not always.
Doesn't matter what caliber you get shot with it's going to either put you down or make you think twice about doing anything other than pissing the shooter off any further lol I like 9mm and .45 ACP both are good calibers easy to find and easy to control in Glocks
I'm in the process of doing a lot of research in order to buy my first gun. I've shot a 9mm Springfield a couple of years ago, and a few .40s recently. After shooting the .40, I thought, "wow, this is powerful!" Almost too much of a kick in order to hit the target. Now going back in time with the 9mm, I hit the targets w/ accuracy, still powerful, less of a kick. So I think I will be able to "place" better with a 9mm than a .40. Seeing the penetration in this video convinces me more. Thanks!
@davidamarquez Good thinking. You don't really need a man stopper like the .40 or .45 but even with the 9mm, with a some stout hollow-points, you could do some serious damage.
Its not about penetration that just shows lack of energy transfer on a pistol round that is that light. 115 grains in and out? No thanks, give me the other 3 though anytime.
@pjicleanair420 Some people are looking for penetration. Opinions may differ. I think with it being able to penetrate it shows that it isn't losing energy easily, so...to an extent less energy is directly transferred, but I think it would be a whole lot more punch if it was an HP.
* 1 shot in the fifth book with 10mm. Don’t get me wrong, I'm not rudely criticizing your video.
By shooting 1 time in each book you insure that the only variable in the experiment are the various calibers. Identical books, equal distance for each shot, 1 shot each in the center of the book.
@jnjoblon I agree. After I did it I was thinking about that. I'm gonna do a lot more ballistics videos and see what I can do to poke the fire of the never ending caliber debate, lol. :) I always use identical ammo though. I'm not gonna use an HP for one and a FMJ for another...lol. I've seen a lot of retarded videos on here that prove nothing, because of inconsistencies, I'll try to avoid those :) Thanks!
Thanks bro:) i learned alot from ths video. i would have thought tht the 45. would have penetrated through all the books and past through the ground and hit China jajajaaja lolz. yea i thought the 45. would be the strongest.
@omipe3 No problem dude, now that I've got my finances and other priorities in order I should have plenty more videos coming, with reviews and ballistics...It's still a debate though with the .45, even though it didn't penetrate very far, is it's heavier weight gonna put more of an impact on the target??
@Rated15R I'm pretty sure the .45 isn't the only round that will mushroom. Lol. When you really think about it, 9mm and .45 are close to equal...45 big and slow, 9mm slightly smaller, a few hundred feet per second faster.
I know that the .45 is a little bit big and slow, but would you rather go with something that would penetrate through your enemy's body? or keep the bullet inside of the enemy's body giving him more problems? that's if you're using regular ammo i mean.
then I also have a question, because I want to buy a gun in the future. which would you prefer? the 9mm or the .38 special?
@Rated15R I'd choose the 9mm over the 38. Many more options out there for you in regards to which firearm you use...what ammo is sold, etc. In real life situations, I'd be using hollow point or hydra-shock, it should stay in regardless of caliber, and disperse all of the energy in the attacker. So, regardless of caliber, shot placement wins!
So are they all hollow point bullets?
