    I’d love to see tests on a car door, glass window, and wood board, all with a gel block behind. Because the overwatch is supposed to have more penetrating ability than the civil defense. Also, if possible, I’d like to see testing on the gel block dummy that has bone structure. I know they’re extremely expensive, maybe someone would sponsor the test.
    Great videos. Thank you. 🙏

    I love when this ammo gets reviewed! This is my EDC.
    Most energetic ammo for sale is LCD. (At least in civilian 9mm). It actually was originally sold as a patten the government bought up but when it expired the guy (or someone) took the design and made them and sold them. The Overwatch rounds were made for a special interest group in national security if im not mistaken.

    @talorunningwolf9709 6 месяцев назад +3

    I personally have been using Liberty Civil Defense in 9mm and 45acp,. I have found from personal testing (and wasting goodwill heavy coats of various weight that the Liberty Civil Defense does the exact job it is made to do! The main reason I chose Liberty Civil Defense is because they are extremely similar to the old Glaser rounds from back in the 80's and 90's. As a former LEO and veteran, I know the importance of having to discharge my weapon in either in the service of my country and unfortunately I have had to also discharge my weapon as a LEO as well. And I can tell you one thing for certain and that is if you ever have to discharge your weapon in defense of yourself or another person, you definitely want a round which WILL stop a person with one round and not worry about the round over penetrating to the next block or next county!! From all that I have been to tell (though I have not had the luxury of using ballistic gel) along with various thicknesses of heavy coats along with jeans and a shirt along with ballistic gel. Which would of course provide definitive proof of my hypothesis of the performance of this particular ammunition. I would very much like to see if Tools & Targets does finally perform such a test with both liberty Civil Defense and Liberty Civil Penetrator ammunition as I believe that any such test in any other the various calibers would settle once and for all that Liberty Civil Defense and Penetrator does exactly what the Liberty Ammunition Company says it does!
    Challenge: prove me wrong!

First NovX then Liberty… NovX to break the initial barrier, then Liberty to tear up the inside of the wound cavity… Great for the MC9 Mete, 365 Sig, Glock 26, Hellcat Etc….

    I've tested these extensively. They are the most accurate 9mm round on the market. Easily 2 MOA out of an 8.5" AR-9 at 100 yards. Most comparable defensive ammunition run 4 MOA at best and many are worse. Also very low recoil and easily cuts through 3A and military flack jackets. Also great for hunting in California.

    @scottstewart5784 10 месяцев назад +2

    I'm warming up to these for my nine. First off - 400+ foot pounds from a shorty? That means something. Second - I like that it goes in 3 inches then frags. Now here's my thinking - some 400 foot pounds at impact, those pedals or chunks weigh together 45% of the total, so they also have 45% of the kinetic energy. Whatever energy is left after three inches (most of it), 45% of it gets deposited 3 inches in. What's three inches inside a torso? Organs. The damage zone from the petals is a five inch diameter cylinder two inches thick. That HAS to increase your probability of hitting something vital. Then 55% goes on for that good and reliable penetration. If it's barrier-cool it may be a winner.

    Great test with results as expected. They went in and did tons of damage, without any over penetration. I don't think, although I could be wrong, but I don't believe these are meant for hard barrier penetration. If that's the game we're after for self defense, we are likely better off looking elsewhere.

I actually prefer the 115 grain XTP's over the critical defense because they get deeper penetration without going over 18-19" in gel.. I hear the Remington 115 grain UMC is a good budget hollow point but I haven't actually tested it myself yet

  • @shadowwolf9503
    @shadowwolf9503 10 месяцев назад +3

    Great test- like always ! Ill agree with you Tools, im not a fan of super light for caliber ammo. I dont like the shallow penetration and ive seen rounds in this catagory cause malfunctions in normally reliable handguns. I would only recommend and use fragmenting ammo in very special situations where over penetration is a major concern.
    I do have a test id enjoy seeing. I have always liked the 38 Special and usually keep a few around for defense work. I know its not popular, but i regularly load them up with the ole standby from the 70's- the 158gr LRN. I currently have this load in all 3 of my 38 revolvers. One, a 4" inch Armscor (RIA) and 2 snubbies- my S&W 642 and an older Rossi 2 inch barrel. Thanks Brother for all the time and hard work you put into this channel. I never miss one !

      For a .38spl snubby,I like swchp 158 gr +p as they are shoulder stabilized so they get penetration to vitals and some expansion.
      As with you and Tools 🔧, I'm doubtful that a core with only a mass of a .22lr is going to administer enough damage to vital organs for rapid incapacitating. As far as shallow penetration frag is concerned,it's not anymore effective than snake shot.

    • @shadowwolf9503
      @shadowwolf9503 10 месяцев назад

      @@terrywadsworth5645 The ole 158gr plus P lead hollow point is a great 38 round without a doubt. But I haven't seen any of those for sale around these parts for a long time. I do have a partial box of Aguilla 38 semi- jacketed hollow points, standard velocity. They claim 900fps, but are standard velocity. Im not sure if that is accurate or not. I don't see how a 158gr 38 going 900 fps is rated a standard velocity round. I've seen mixed reviews on them. They do fire just great in my older , non plus P Rossi 88 snubby. To be honest, I change my 38 carry ammo like most people change underwear, LOL. I do stay away from very light for caliber rounds. Just don't trust them to be reliable or to have enough penetration. I have some of the Federal Blue coated Nyclad standard velocity 125gr hollow points. They were highly recommend back in the ole days. Especially for Snubbies. I do carry those from time to time. But I'll have to say, in my limited testing, they seem to have shallow penetration. They are a low recoiling 38 round and my wife likes them. I did get a box of the Hornady pink tip, 90gr 38 lite rounds with my Rossi 88 when I bought it. The girl I bought it from had them loaded up in the revolver. I did carry them in my S&W 642 Ladysmith for awhile, just to do it. My wife said she can handle me carrying the Ladysmith, but not with pink tipped bullets. Now truthfully, I didn't realize the 642 was a Ladysmith until I'd done did the paperwork. She has become one of my favorites to carry.

    Out of the G17, we only got two 50-yard velocities. One of them was very high at 1645 fps, whereas the other one was much lower (and more what I would expect based on the MC9 numbers) at 1368 feet per second. Those shots made Ke50 numbers of 432 and 299 energy foot pounds respectively for a 2-shot average of 362 energy foot pounds.

    These type of rounds just are not my cup of tea, give me a good bonded hollow point in at least 124 grain. Whether it's for me or not I always watch like & leave a comment to support the channel, I love what you put out and appreciate you my friend. Have a good one brother see you on the next one.

      @DavidLLambertmobile 10 месяцев назад

      I like 124gr +P bonded too. ✔️ Gun companies often R&D 9mm models with 124gr FMJ or NATO type 9mm. I used .45acp & 10mm Liberty Civil Defense, 2010s.

    I carry federal HST 124 Grain (currently standard pressure but have also carried plus P)
    I've only ever carried Federal HST, or Speer Golddot.
    Both are proven, reliable Effective.

  • @bowmanjr1000
    @bowmanjr1000 10 месяцев назад

    Got to do barrier test Liberty stated at shot show they will penetrate level 3 plates/vests , also seen a RUclips video of someone using the civil defense against car door passed right through. Allegedly they will not break apart until the hollows cavity is filled with liquid/tissue is when the will fragmentation start so its supposed to be able to go through barriers and only expand once its hits its target . Thats what liberty states

    • @bowmanjr1000
      @bowmanjr1000 10 месяцев назад

      Very fascinated by these rounds would love to see you do something with some kind of barriers to truly test it have been following up on all the videos of the liberty tests you have done very educational

    @joseeduardomagadan9728 9 месяцев назад

    Now for the 45 acp version. This ammo needs more testing but it is performing, just no real life reports of usage like the HST or Gold dot making it hard to trust it. Maybe its meant as sky marshal ammo.

    @billdye3530 10 месяцев назад +1

    In certain restricted areas like schools or churches "if allowed" this would be good but Im not sure how it would do hitting ribs or pelvic/hip region. I agree if the base kept more weight I might carry it. Muzzleblast is an issue. Dont think Boogieman will wait til you put earplugs in. 🙉💥

  • @sparhawk5515
    @sparhawk5515 10 месяцев назад

    I’m not concerned about barrier penetration with this specific ammunition. I use it strictly for in home defense because it doesn’t go vey far through drywall;losing most of its destructive energy in the first wall. This means my family and neighbors will be less likely to be harmed by missed shots. An additional benefit is the low recoil. My wife loves this in 9mm because it’s so much easier to control and recover from multiple shots fired in rapid succession.

  • @MotoFreak37

    I shot some of the 9mm and .40 S&W Civil Defense at my local range, and the range officer came over to check and see if I was shooting a rifle caliber on the pistol range. It's loud.

    Actually, you want the fragmentation to go "crazy" like you say: that's how you eliminate a target/aggressor/attacker, or whatever you what to call a bad guy.

    These will work great on a low-fat person, but a high fat person may survive. I've heard others say it goes through type 3 body armor and windshields.

  • @MeMadeIt
    @MeMadeIt 10 месяцев назад

    Noooo, thanks! I'll stick with my HST.
    Fragpansion looks great but c'mon, 3"~5" in gel is only about 1"~2" in flesh, nevermind going thru something tougher like bone. Very nasty flesh wounds for sure, but those 42gr cores are about what a 22LR does and can't be relied on to stop an attacker.

  • @bracoop2
    @bracoop2 5 месяцев назад

    I think the 42 grains of the piece that keeps penetrating is heavy enough to make the bad guys drop when combined with the energy of the round dumping everything into the target at first contact. But I could be wrong lol. Don’t attack me.

  • @rouchenelvann
    @rouchenelvann 10 месяцев назад +1

    I’m still not sold on this round either. I’ve seen some tests where the cavity got clogged with heavy clothing and performed like a fmj.
    On another note, I’d love to see a test on the G9 external hollow points in 10 mill to see if it meets your standards for true 10 mill. As well as a test on Maxim Defense’s tui rounds for short barreled rifles.

  • @TheAxe4Ever
    @TheAxe4Ever 10 месяцев назад +1

    I’m definitely not a light for caliber fan, but if for some reason I didn’t have my HST’s or Gold Dots or couldn’t get ahold of other quality hollow points (Buffalo Bore, Underwood, Defiant etc.) I guess this would beat FMJ’s. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    @johngrunwell2412 10 месяцев назад

    Great test. I truely believe that these types of rounds are for up front and personnel carried in a short close and personal platform (G43) with trying to limit over penetration but increase deafness. Not for a Duty type platform where the environment is quite variable.

    I used this for my nighttime apartment defense until last night. I always tried to rotate the chambered round, I could have messed up. However I found 2 round where I had to manually press the bullet back into the shell. I'm assuming that's no longer safe to shoot. I'm losing trust in the rounds.
