  • Do some more homework on that "firearmsdefense," a typical .45 ACP round will penetrate far more building materials than a properly selected .223 round. The greater velocity and lighter bullet weight causes a rifle bullet to fragment after striking objects. Pistol bullets do not fragment, and generally do not expand after striking wood or plaster, but continue to penetrate.

  • @hiramohio that is not entirely true. There are many variables that will affect the penetration. a .223 moving at around 3000 fps will penetrate metallic skined barriers effectively if it does not have time to yaw and lose its rifled orientation. The .223 at 100 hundred yards dumps more kinetic energy than the .45 at 25 yards; a .223 will penetrate light armor (helmet) where a .45 has no chance. Soft substrate gives the lighter weight .223s room to yaw and fracture. Some loadings will drive true

  • @HYBRIDCOMBATIVES True, the .223 will penetrate steel helmets and light armor, but I was referring to the applicability of the .223 to home defense over the 9mm or .45 ACP. Handguns are weapons of convenience that can be concealed for carry. For inside of the home, the .223 is a superior weapon and poses less risk of overpenetration in common building materials. Can it penetrate wallboard? can it penetrate 2X4's? of course... but it tends to do so less than pistol bullet. (ammo dependent)

  • @Agent1W Fortunately for us tax rates are nearly at an all time low.

  • @hiramohio agreed.

  • Hi, nice video, but I would like comment on your notes over here, I believe that the .45 ACP does good on flesh, but it's really bad on any other material, I live in Guatemala and we have a high rate of murders and gangs, so I have seen 3 shootings involving the .45 ACP, and the bullets just bounced of the materials that they hit and the distance was no more than 30yds, so I think that the 9 mm would do better penetrating other material than flesh, anyway thats my opinion, take care.
