  • the pistol always wins.

  • @nebula25x ~ BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Awesome, I'm picturing Troops in full battle fatigues, with the Yellow Pages strapped to their chests... xD

  • I commented too soon. The vid stopped at 8:38. :-(

  • Cool vid!

  • @MegaHairyass More like go with Speer rather than Hydrashocks. I'd like to see the difference between the two calibers using the same brand of ammo.

  • great video and little demo keep up the good work, and i hope to see more soon

  • all u ignorant 45 buttlovers...... 40 wins

  • Enjoyed this phone book blasting video too...

  • @Skormm totally agree...45 is the best for defense. over penetration would just cause too much legal problems in court if u end up hitting someone you dont want to hit.

  • Ok, stop with the arguing... This video definitively determines that BOTH a .45 cal handgun firing 230 gr ammunition, AND a .40 cal handgun firing 180 gr ammunition are BOTH very effective in hunting phone books. Sheesh.
