I think the .22 mag didn't get to reach it's full velocity from a tiny revolver which is why it didn't do that much and had unburnt powder flying everywhere.

[@bullfrogjay4383]

Correct

[@razony]

Yup! Just have to add. Good to learn new things!

[@garytrainer748]

Yep.

[@MikeMalkowski]

They do make a 22 mag load specifically designed for short barrel applications. I assume it has faster burning powder.

[@bullfrogjay4383]

@@MikeMalkowski Gold Dot makes a short barrel round for self defense as well as Hornady (Critical Defense). I'm sure others do to as well. Thier powder burns faster for sure and there is not as much powder.

[@smc8144]

Need to cut the clay block open and show the interior “wound channel”. In slow mo that 22mag sure seamed to hit a lot harder. Moved the 25 lb block of clay.

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

How does one "wound" an inanimate object? Just wondering. I guess if you bring enough gun, you can wound just about anything. ;) I get it, but it still tickles my funny bone a little.

[@garytrainer748]

I agree on the 22 mag.

[@andyanderson9165]

Open up that block of clay if you want to see the real results. I would suggest each round gets its own block of clay for a true side by side comparison

[@karlinathan]

.22mag had a much larger bulge around the hole than the others. I'm not convinced that it didn't win.

[@trindadecr7221]

25 the best

[@billbaker3565]

.25 gives center fire ignition reliability plus it was designed for short barrels. I think all that peppering on the clay face was unburned .22 Mag powder. I’ve seen other tests on KZbin that showed out of the short NAA barrel .22 LR can have higher velocity than the .22 Mag because of all that unburned powder. Nice test.

@@WHOTEEWHO it seems like a longer barrel on the .22 mag would’ve gotten the results you expected. All that splatter on the block looked like unburned, or semi burned powder splatter. Performance would’ve been more impressive from a barrel length of 4-6 inches (or more to maximize the powder burn)

[@richardkellar9259]

SUCH a fun round with HUGE fireballs and, almost no recoil! My FAVE pistol for fun shooting!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Yup most 25 you find is fmj

[@icarusfrost4542]

Another great vid. All the stippling with 22 mag is unburnt powder. That’s why longer (not to long) barrels create higher velocity and pressure.

[@garyeaton5719]

When I was 15, way back in 1960, the NRA did a gun safety presentation to our HS gym class. That was Deer River HS in northern MN. At the end he shot a .22 short into a block of Ivory soap. It was an eye opener for all of us. BTW, That school then was K to 12 in one building and the 22 short was all they would let him shoot indoors. And if your homework was caught up, they would give you time off for the only 7 day deer season in the whole state. Plus a 14 year old could get a drivers license. The good old days!

Certainly enjoyed that, my recently deceased father was more of a long arm fella but the .25 ACP Mauser of WW I vintage his Grandfather had was always ready in the nightstand for the last 50 years or more. Even though I had larger calibers in mine I still had to buy one a few years back when I saw it at my local firearm store for memories. That Mauser (his not my cheap .25), the .303 Enfield and M1 carbine are recent additions to my safe (among others) and not going anywhere. ;) I am a fan of the .22 mag though out of my Heritage rough rider 6" but hardly a carry gun.

I think the 22 mag may get better penetration but I've never thought of 25acp as weak or comparable to 22lr. Great vid.

[@buddy22801012]

The 22 mag is designed to be fired from a rifle so it uses a slower burning powder. All those small marks in the clay were from un burned powder.

[@MrRedeyedJedi]

All those little marks are from unburnt powder peppering the block, as the short barrel means not all the powder in that long casing gets to burn.

You should hav dissected the clay to show the wound channels. The .25 looked pretty impressive .

[@numbnutz9398]

The barrel for the 22 mag wasn't long enough for a complete powder burn. Left a bunch of "umph" on the table. That's what was splattered all over the clay. I was surprised by the 25 though. I would have pegged the mag to be the winner, but I'm constantly surprised by the results of these clay block tests. Way more fun than the balistic gel blocks.

[@avelezusmc7929]

I was not expecting those exit holes

[@mongosafariadventure]

Excellent demonstration. I've had similar results with a 22 magnum derringer with a baseball size fireball and gun powder burning out free in the air. NOTE: With a longer barrel to use all the gunpowder I bet the 22 magnum would blow the 25 ACP away in damage to the clay. BUT that was not todays test. I have more respect for the 25 ACP. Now I need a few clay blocks to test a Ruger LC9 (pocket gun).

[@thomasallen3818]

That.22 mag gave that clay block a pretty good powder burn. That’s because you fired it out of the little revolver. I would think that if you shot the same round out of a rifle, you’d get more of the powder to burn going down the barrel.

[@JamesSmith-to7le]

I wonder what that 25 would do out of a longer barrel ?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

No tellin

[@benwebster1899]

I don’t think it would make much of a difference, since the .25acp was designed to be shot out of a short barrel unlike the .22lr. So I don’t think It would benefit from a longer barrel.

[@Whatever-gv3gq]

I don’t think it you would see too much of a difference with the 25. Now on the other hand I think you would see quite a different out of the 22 mag just because of the unburnt powder.

I wonder if a pistol specific 22 mag loading would do better by burning more than half of the powder? I've seen 25 acp stopped by couch pillows point blank.......

[@turbotim007]

Is it possible that it did more damage because the inner wall channel is weaker due to the other rounds making it easier to expand?

[@patrickc1508]

As far as self defense, they’re all underpowered. That .25acp is clearly the best choice for defensive use, even if you just look at the centerfire reliability vs rimfire reliability. I wouldn’t want to get shot with any of them, but I wouldn’t want to rely on them stopping an attacker. Use what you’ve got. It’s better to have a .22 or a .25 than nothing. I usually draw the line at .380 though. It’s small enough to pocket, iwb, or even ankle 🤨 carry. Bigger is usually better to a point, but sometimes you just need something small enough for what you’re wearing and what you’re doing. I couldn’t imagine going golfing with a full size 1911 on my hip. I can’t see a glock 19 working when you’re walking around shirtless in a pair of basketball shorts and flip flops. There are needs for small guns, but a small .380 like a lcp is usually small enough, with a little more punch than that .25.

[@cri8tor]

Wish 25 and 32 acp were more available. Think there's a lot of misinformation out there on those calibers and too many people get the idea that they're not powerful enough for self defense, so the demand was reduced.
