Gotta remember that the compressed CO2 in the soda gives a lot of extra boost to the expansion of the liquid.. take out the soda and replace with plain water and you will see noticably more realistic results.
When my father was the fleet maintenance supervisor at Keeseville, NY Pepsi-Cola, the warehouse guys kept us well-stocked with "breakage". They were always putting cases of soda in his truck. I would say in 1988 or so, we ended up with a three-liter bottle of Diet Cherry Cola Slice. Nobody wanted to be the one to open that damned bottle. So it sat in the cold cellar for about five years... I got to where I couldn't stand to look at it, so I left it in the sun for a while, then shot it with my dad's Ruger Blackhawk. Used a .357 hollow point. It was... interesting... I shot it from 20 yards or so, as I knew it was going to be a "Gallagher Concert".
they'll take care of you. one time I got stupid out in the field and took the magazine apart on my 9 mm ruger pistol and lost part of it. Lol I called ruger the next day told them I was dumb said I was willing to pay for it and they shipped me one for free. They're a great outfit to deal with!
Check and see if your recoil spring is too long. It will coil up and not let yhe slide go all the way to the rear putting stress on the spring plug and front of the slide. This may be why you lost your front sight. Even if it's the stock spring the gun came with it can happen. Great video.
I have a Kimber 45cal Raptor and I love it. It's been an awesome gun, it's so Precision built it is difficult to break down, that is the disadvantage that I do not like.
There's the "thanks" button under the video that allows people to donate or leave a tip with zero commitment (which I thought was better), but not a single soul has hit that button yet. I mentioned it for about 20 videos and then gave up. People thank me on my car fixxin videos for saving them "a thousand bucks" because I showed them how to do it themselves, yet can't be bothered to tip me 2 bucks out of that thousand (apparently). I'm working on a few t-shirt designs though, maybe that'll help once I get those up...
With soda I think it's close to the same result except for maybe the .22, because it is pressurized. I did a cantelope video after this however with ball ammo/fmj, check it out! And then I did watermelon with these same defensive rounds...
I guess they do! Never seen it though (probably because I wasn't looking lol). Sheeit, for that matter I just realized they were Sunkist and not Fanta 🤣
So you were right, I looked on a box of Circa 2011 velocitors and it just says 40 grain plated hollow point. The box also says Speer though so I think people just automatically assume it's a gold dot.
I remember seeing somewhere though that they were supposedly "gold dots." Maybe their website, an advertisement, or maybe it was just some bs thread on a gun forum or something. I had somebody else say they were gold dots too though, so it came from somehwere...
That's so funny because I honestly thought you were fucking with me with that orange soda hahahaha! With my OCD I just couldn't help thinking it should have been in the middle LoL!
I plan to do a video on this eventually- what's nice about a .22lr pistol is you can accurately place the shots as fast as you can pull the trigger with little training. The same can't be said for 9mm (for example)...
Thanks for watching both- I got a few more iterations of these now with different fun targets and with rifles and shotguns too. Still working on more...
I noticed your pistol grip. have you ever tried the combat pistol grip with both thumbs forward? i prefer it. ive tried both. yours isn't wrong and everyone is different. If you're effectively hitting your target thats what counts
Yeah I don't like it, and thanks for being the first person ever thus far to agree that there is nothing wrong with my grip if that's what works for me.
I could barely watch the vid after seeing the first shot. I grabbed my shadow systems MR920 and tried to hold it like you did, before leaving a comment……you need to change your grip. I don’t care if it works for you, your grip feels unsafe.
And I could barely care to read more than the first sentence of your comment, but I did anyway. MY grip feels unsafe to YOU? That's the most idiotic thing I've heard in a while. That's like a lefty telling me I should shoot left handed because it feels better to THEM. No, I shouldn't, lmao.
I was 13 15 years old I used to shoot bottles like that that's a great video I'll tell you I knew you had ear protection on you so I had a 22 pistol is when I started it so that's how I started and I hit it one time so that's what it is
Bro ive never shot soda but I was planning on shooting today and I wanted to make it more exciting with reactive targets so I got two soda jugs and Halloween decorations to pop.
I would rather see this test with water jugs or something not under high pressure. The pressure released when these are shot introduces an incredible amount of noise into your test results. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!
Well I've made up my mind, I don't wanta be shot with any of em. I do believe there was a substantial difference in the .380 and 9mm. I recently changed my small carry gun from an LCP to a P365. My big city carry gun is still a Glock 27. We all know what lives in the hatcheries of the big cities.
Be cautious when sourcing ".380 +P" ammo. Unlike .38 special, 9x19, and .45 ACP, there is no SAAMI specification for .380 +P. Because of the lack of a standard, ammo listed as +P can be anywhere from a 5% increase in pressure to double pressure. Be very sure of your gun and be very confident in the manufacturer of the ammo before firing it. Also... please don't use it in any blowback design. As for 90gr Speer Gold Dots, you can order them (bullets only) from Midway. You'll still need powder, primer, and brass.
When I shot pint soda bottles of water with my Python, the lock/safety ring that stays on when the cap is removed flat disappears. I can find the cap that flys off but not that ring !!
I would like to make reasonable suggestion: (not sure what state you live in so taking that into consideration here goes) we all seen these test in many channels however we haven't seen what these calibers would do to actual tissue organs. So my suggestion would be to get either beef-pork kidneys or liver then encase it in ballistic gel. I think that would be not only a realistic test but it would answer one of the most popular debates out there "STOPPING POWER" 9mm vs 45acp vs .40s&w. Also it will be interesting to see what's the difference between all these cartridges. Thank you for the video.
Well I'm not sure about actual organs, but I do plan to eventually shoot big hunks of meat when I can afford such (I think the cost is why most channels don't). And obviously in a self defense scenario, one (typically) is not aiming for the liver or kidney- but I sorta understand why you are requesting those. Putting some things in the videos like kidneys or hearts may be a little too gruesome for some viewers, but I don't think liver is too bad considering that's commercially sold in about every grocery store for consumption (unlike hearts and kidneys). I did have the idea to submerge meat covered ribs into gel, liver might be a good idea as well. I'll see what I can come up with...
Thanks for subscribing, glad you like the content. This watermelon video is something new I was trying, but it's pretty popular so I'm going to keep doing similar videos.
@@BuckeyeBallistics I loved it. Not the “flashy” mean. You’re testing weapons and ammo we normal folks can get. I have no need to see how a modified Mk19 works going full cyclic on a field full of big screen tvs….
I'm curious Could you use a browning black label 380? it's a 1911 and personally my favorite paired with rip ammo, but it's got a longer barrel than most 380's so I feel jhp's would have a better chance of expanding for your tests.
When i saw your some video to the chicken meat ballistic,the 40cal.180 grain vs not plus p 230grain 45acp the result is 40caliber has more damage than 45acp
Thanks for the video, but the bottles were nowhere near centered in the cameras field of view. If anything, the bottles should have been off to the right, since they moved to the left. They were far left and went out of view.
I'd say yeah- it's my favorite .22 pistol and one of my favorite guns overall. You might want to check out the other videos of it though in my .22 playlist, had a few issues with mine that you might want to watch out for. Strong language warning if you watch the review video...
I hate to point it out since you are a good shot but I was trained to put my thumbs forward towards the target and not crossed the way you shoot. Great video but like someone pointed out you could have used water and drank the soda. Thanks
Soda is more explosive- I'm currently saving up water jugs for another video (recycled fruit punch containers). And I don't like that grip, not as tight and more muzzle rise...
Gotta remember that the compressed CO2 in the soda gives a lot of extra boost to the expansion of the liquid.. take out the soda and replace with plain water and you will see noticably more realistic results.
Yeah, but that was the fun part I guess.
I did just a plain water one and nobody watched it lol.

You can get 1,300 ft per second and 300 lb feet of energy at the muzzle with a 380 out of a 5-in barrel

I was actually surprised at the 22 and 380. Good demonstration. Thanks and keep it up.
why does everyone underestimate .22. Look at the videos vs windshields it punches right thru
Every time I see a video like this, I'm always surprised by the energy of the .380.
.380 ain't no joke with the right load!

@@John-uo1qf That's it! Underwood better sponsor me now! 😅
with the right munitions its shreds just the same, love it.

That 1911 45 is one pretty gun. The prettiest semi auto pistol ever made. Who here agrees with me?✊

Really enjoyed this video of yours as well! If I'm being honest, for some reason the watermelon video was more satisfying.
Oh I agree, watermelon was better. I've also done water, flour, cabbage, cantaloupe, and cinder blocks so far.

Glock 35 and 40 caliber combo is crazyy!
Can you please start using CCI stingers for your .22 rounds. That is the one most people know for high velocity .22.
You know, you're probably right. Will do!
Your .45 shot actually demonstrates why JFK's head went back and left despite being shot from behind.
Well now I know what caliber to choose if I ever get jumped by a 2 liter
I love your videos and you help me decide which gun to get thanks
It would be cool to see this test with regular ol ball rounds just to see the what common ammo can do.

If I’m attacked by 2 liter sodas I’m good!
All appeared to be very effective. I wouldn't want to be hit by any of them.
That is for sure!
But honestly. Would you trust a .22lr as a self-defense gun against someone with a bigger caliber gun for example? (Sincere question)
I plan to do a video on this eventually- what's nice about a .22lr pistol is you can accurately place the shots as fast as you can pull the trigger with little training. The same can't be said for 9mm (for example)...
A 9mm is more powerful and not much more of a challenge to be good at it. My wife shot her 1st gun, my 9mm and was on target after the 2nd mag.
Speed, not accuracy.

Hmm interesting.. I think the 9mm in both the soda and the watermelon test sprayed backwards.
