.45 ACP ZOMBIE MAX Review and Ammo Test

Ballistic gel test of the .45 ACP Hornady ZOMBIE MAX 185 gr JHP, using a diluted form of SIM-TEST Ballistic Testing Media. This format is comparable to calibrated ballistic gel, and includes four layers of denim. Video includes brief overview of the cartridge, recoil shots, and one shot test. Post-shot evaluation shows bullet path through the block, average diameter, retained weight, and various close-up views of the bullet. Test gun was a Colt 1911 Government Series 80, 5 inch barrel.

VERY IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING AMMO TESTS ON THIS CHANNEL:

Please understand that these techniques are merely representations to indicate possible ballistics; they are not intended to replicate real-world street results. Even by adding bone, additional clothing, etc., there are just too many factors involved in a self-defense scenario to offer a 100% degree of accuracy when compared to street results. It is essential to perform exhaustive research on your carry choice, which could yield actual use data. The law-abiding citizen bears ultimate responsibility for their ammunition choice and insuring reliability in their handgun.

I would laugh from the irony if I found this ammunition during an actual zombie apocalypse.

[POIFarmer]

I wonder if a court of law you frown on you using zombie max ammo in a defensive (non-zombie) situation : )

[AmericanMade72]

Epic ending.

[nypddblue]

Gotta love the ending :)

Great vid, I love that you had fun with it! I am one who looks for light penetration with good expansion. Thanks again for your work, it's brilliant.

@NWguy83 No, no I don't. When I refer to "zombies" I typically mean a SHTF situation. But with all the diseases, parasites, and countries that hate us out there, It IS possible. Watch the History Channe's History of the Zombie.

[NWguy83]

@Thelonesniper101 Because the FBI puts its ammo and weapons through some of the toughest tests ever. But i can alreay tell that you are one of those people who thinks zombies are actually real.

[Thelonesniper101]

@NWguy83 And why should we care?

[draconianburns]

Thanks for the review

[NWguy83]

The FBI chose Winchester PDX1 ammo over Hornady Critical Defense for their new .40s&w ammo.

[emkivi82]
