Ruger LCP .380 Auto vs Cantaloupe

[generalzod4life]

Theres alot of keyboard warrior denigrating the .380 round like its a .22 or something.

I personally think from experience that the .380 is the BEST personal defense round there is... low recoil, low muzzle blast and noise so it wont blind and deafen You at night, accurate and easy to do follow up shots, and the round is perfect for a small form concealable pistol like the LCP or my personal carry gun the outstanding Sig P238... and with some good hollowpoints... forget about it

[Tezcatlepocatl]

At what range were you shooting at it?

[wrrob]

There are toothy grinning cantaloupes on Mars?

[xRandomBEASTx]

It's louder than that right?

[Kanthor420]

Nice damage from a gun that small. Good vid.

Now put Humpty Dumpty back together again!

When your out shooting fruit you dont have to clean it up right?

It just degrades into the soil in a couple of weeks.

[imaDirtySpoonYah]

what did the cantaloupes do to you man, its not like they asked for this!!!!!

[999manman]

Right camera=FAIL

[Jx8o5]

the first two shots went in and the cantaloupe was like "haha fuck you im still here!" then he got split in half and was like "this sucks"

[zeno57]

They say the human skull is liken to a quarter inch piece of plywood in bullet resistance. I would love to see a .380 bullet shot at a 1/4 " plywood or a human skull whatever you can do . thanx

[coookalo]

holy shit did you see that cantalope charge at you?

[msgoods100]

there are people starving over seas!!!!!!

[interloper65]

thanks- I will now feel safe if I'm attacked by cantaloupes when armed with my LCP!

[osimnod]

Very helpful camera work to demonstrate what this caliber can do. From reading your comments, you used Aguila FMJ 95 grain. It would be interesting to capture the effect of JHP on this melon. I have a Bersa Thunder .380, which is much heavier (at 20 oz. with empty mag) than LCP but excellent sights and good "feel".

[Blanckmeister]

right in the eye. What ammo please?

[vexviper]

Sounds like t-rex is coming 0o

[RWT683]

Those damn cantaloupes are taking over this country....it's about time somebody took a stand.

[ploetzlich30]

killing a melon is not right, dude!

these things are *ucking tasty, and should be washed down with some even tastier drpepper!

just clamp a couple phonebooks together and lets see how this puppy performs!

[StoppingPowerInfo]

@ploetzlich30 Dr. Pepper tastes like that after you vomit in your mouth taste...

[thanatos241]

cantelope football?

[StoppingPowerInfo]

@thanatos241 Still better than soccer.

@StoppingPowerInfo BLASPHEMY!!!!!

[antwan17]

i have a kel tec...but ive gotten what i needed to see. death from my pocket if try to rob me.

[StoppingPowerInfo]

@antwan17 I hope we're still talking guns at this point.

[iqentab]

@antwan17 I do believe a .380 ACP is better than nothing. Kel Tec .380s are nice small guns that have light recoil and are good enough to do the trick. Not to mention, if I was attacking someone, and they shot me with a .380, and I didn't die, I don't think I'd be in the mood to continue after them.

[StSimonMartyr]

Buffalo Bore and Double Tap have 380 loads that meet or exceed 38 Special +P loads

Why anyone thinks the 380 is a mousegun is beyond me.

Shot placement > Caliber

[iqentab]

@StSimonMartyr I truly think that the only reason 38 specials (and even the +P) are only used anymore because they can be shot from the tiniest of revolvers. They are light in recoil, and great for someone not comfortable with heavier recoil (though my mother at 5'1" can fire a .40 S&W without batting an eye). Beyond these reasons, the .38 special is really an underperforming, outdated round. Then again, we are speaking of handgun ammunition, which, truth be told, are all underpowered.

[SupremeAmerican]

@antwan17 kel tec? More like jam from ur pocket if i try to put my penis in ur butt

[Luke16510]

thumbs up if ads are annoying

[pveg65]

@Luke16510 Especially the one that says"9mm wont protect you", it shows up in every gun video.That one is getting really old!

[StoppingPowerInfo]

@pveg65 that company proally has more money than the rest of them...

[JustAnotherYtuber]

@Luke16510

Uh, yeah obviously, just like saying thumbs up if Obama is black.

[tdotrunners]

There is no.380 auto video ammo that test the different ammo . I can only find fourum stats Im in Canada so there is way thats happeningA wet phone book with maybe cor-bons, jhp, any bonded jhps I think four hallos points and maybe two 95grain fmj would be enough. A hole lot of 380 pennitration talk these days.

Jhp= Jacketed Hallow Points speed up when entering but du they have the 9inch of depth we all need OR IS FMJ that HITS 12-15inches MIGHT BE JUST AS GOOD..u will many hits

[StoppingPowerInfo]

@tdotrunners We have a heck of a time finding anything other than the type of ammo we've bought locally.

[Blanckmeister]

@tdotrunners I have tested just about all the ammo available. For defense, 70g Powerballs are the best. Next, Remington or Winchester FMJ. Remington is American, Winchester is Czheck (95 vs. 92 grains). Hornady are supposedly made for this gun (there is a picture of the LCP on the box), but the "smiley" problem seriously affects the pointed tip with adverse opening affects. For a hollowpoint, Speer make the best. I carry a mag of each if I can, usually powerballs and FMJ.

[RidgeRunner88]

@Blanckmeister I don't know where you heard PowrBalls are the best... In .380 often times the jacket separates from the core and they expand unreliably... Corbon DPX's are a MUCH better choice for a HP .380 round.

And if you want a the best FMJ, look at Buffalo Bore. Expensive like Corbon, but a very hot .380 round.

[Blanckmeister]

@RidgeRunner88 I didn't hear this, please reread my post. I did not compare Buffalo Bore because I felt it unsafe in The LCP. I also would not recommend hollowpoints of anykind for that gun for that matter, but if I had to because nothing else is available, the Speer/CCI black box functioned flawlessly(approx. $20 for 20r). Powerballs are not necessarily hollowpoints, but you are correct in your statement that the jackets sometimes separates from the core.

[Raycheetah]

That's what that melon gets for smilin' atcha funny! =^[.]^=

[taofledermaus]

We'd have fun with my HS camera and your creative shots!

[StoppingPowerInfo]

You've done some really interesting work.

[ZombieSlayer762]

what kind of ammo did you shoot at it?

[StoppingPowerInfo]

The brand is Aguila. 95 gr. full metal jacket

[ZombieSlayer762]

ok, i was hoping these were not HP's you should do one with HP's for comparison.

[thegentleart]

@StoppingPowerInfo using FMJ isn't really depicting "stopping" power, since no one should use FMJ's for self defense.

[StoppingPowerInfo]

@thegentleart Oh, I can see your point, but honestly how many people grab a box of "winchester white box" at ole Walmart and call it "good enough"? I'm guessing that isn't a small number.
