[@opinionsvary]

A little unheard of to see someone walk away from one hit of 10mm like with 2 or three hits of the 9mm. The only thing that matters the most is penetration. Stopped bullets in their terminal ballistic stage is like a shitting fat vs a solid turd in your underwear when a 10mm comes to play. Oh, well can't tell some people anything & all their analysis articulates their desired outcome to keep mythical minds secure.

[@opinionsvary]

You can over achieve easier with .40 caliber. It's just a matter of powder vs bullet weight. 138 gr can exceed 1,800 fps in 40S&W. 10mm can take 180gr just as far. 9mm in a 130gr or 158gr aren't all that remarkable, 164gr - 180gr probably be impossible. Why waste time on a insufficient caliber round?

​@midgepfeffer711 a service duty pistol would have no problem with it

[@robertosola7576]

Shoot the +P in the center of the metal plates like you shot the 10mm.

[@guitarlessonswith4480]

No one doubts a 10mm has more stopping power. But, 1) Your accuracy will drop, and hits matter more than noise. 2) It's well over $1 per round for a decent 10mm which limits practice. 3) It's a far less common round, so good luck when supply dwindles or society breaks down.

[@areyoutheregoditsmedave]

this sounds like a comment a bear would make 🤔

[@gabek1381]

Devils advocate: in the early days of COVID 10mm was easier to get than 9mm. The price argument and the accuracy argument are legitimate.

[@johnandrewserranogarcia7223]

"It's a far less common round," I hear this silly excuse all the time. The fact that there are less guns shooting it also means that the supply dwindles down slower. In the last couple of ammo shortages we saw that the first ammo to disappear from shelves were the most popular rounds. People buying uncommon guns were able to find ammo for their guns on shelves after the common calibers had already run out. The .41 magnum, 5.7x28mm, .357 SIG, etc. people were having an easier time in the early stages of the shortages than 9mm, .45 acp, 38 spl people. What this tells us is that if you cared so much about supply dwindling then you'd buy multiple guns in a variety of calibers.

Sandbox would be cool if it was multiple thin boxes lined up. 1” thick max per box, the cubes are always going to be holding too much sand.

[@ejsgarage]

That’s the most realistic evil queen ant drawing! Awesome comparison video. Thank you 😊

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Just started the video- maxxed out 9mm will never beat properly loaded 10mm. You can cherry pick a 9mm load to beat a watered down 10mm that is nothing more than a .40s&w in disguise (powerwise), but then that's not a fair comparison. Factory 9mm from a 5" barrel maxxes out in the 500ft-lbs range of energy, while 10mm comes in at 800ft-lbs. Most of us know this...

[@TykeMison_]

Bananaman is wrong 10mm is supreme I didnt even watch the video thumbs down unsubscribe love you dude keep making vids

[@HUMBLEMANTRYING]

Great video and great humor!

[@justin_ogre]

How about some underwood extreme defender tests. Those solid coppers will surprise you! That 65grain 357sig is supposed to be going over 2000fps!

[@Stylepoints71]

Your editing is top-notch. And you're hilarious. Thanks!

[@alancranford3398]

Your work in this video made me more impressed with my Kevlar vests. Thanks.

[@magnitudematrix2653]

Here is a pressure equation for the bore pressures. .7854xdia2/PSI. .7854 is a quarter inch of PI. It's interesting that you increase the bore and your efficiencies go up per powder weight. But if you go over bore and efficiency goes down. So you see an interesting spectrum of space and how there is no replacement for displacement. Capacitance, reflectance and phase make space or .7854.

[@ethandye8764]

Bro the sand is the great filter of high power bullets and I love it and I will be sad if it is gone, I love to see how much power it takes to go through it

[@deltab9768]

Thanks for doing a thin steel test! I’m buying a shipping container (slightly thicker than 1/16” walls) and was wondering whether it would happen to block normal handgun calibers. I’m going to say no, unless it was something really light like a .380 auto or .22lr. Luckily I’m not buying it for ballistic protection anyway.

[@sinistersilverado965]

+P is nothing, I shoot +P+

[@timclaus8313]

But I don't believe any pistol is factory rated for +P+, as there is no SAAMI standard for the loading.

[@user-sn5nh7md5o]

If you can get your hands on it. Winchester Ranger T-series 9x19 127gr +P+. Pure evil. Also noticed their .45 acp rounds are hot too. 230 gr at 920 fps, (almost +P), and the +P is at 990 fps. Winchester doesn't mess around with their Range line. (I have a buddy that's a Winchester distributor, so we get this stuff to shoot all the time).

[@CovertGamingET]

+P+ 9mm vs something would be really cool to see the results. I use +p+ in my AR9 and have always been interested in seeing it's performance vs another PCC caliber.

[@80sDweeb]

I also enjoy the first few years of the KZ650, but your list had a lot of great bikes. I lean more towards the 1980s, Ninja 900, 600, FZ600, Seca 550, 500 Interceptor, etc. More "modern classics" than vintage.

[@sataomawas]

What we need is a side by side ballistic gel comparison thought the thickest barriers they penetranted.

[@cavalierghost]

I shot steel at 10ft with a 5.56 before. I'm very lucky the ricochet lost enough energy. Cause that shit came straight back and smacked my forehead pretty bad, caused a gusher and a lump.

[@oknevals]

That was really funny vid. And box of complaints was great 😂😂😂

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

I'd like to see crono numbers on that +p9 and 40 cal. Maybe even full test

[@fallenangel9424]

I don't know if you know this but most 10mm is actually under loaded then originally when created. I believe there are 2 manufacturers that do load to specs and underwood ammo is one of them. Depending on the ammo used it could be loaded to almost the exact same specs as the 9mm +p. Anyway just some food for thought if you want a new video idea. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@ChatBot1337]

If only to go back in time.. I love 10mm, but I'm not about to switch the collection out at this point. Yes, Im lazy about how many calibers I keep around. But a few 10's are on the list as defensive toys.

[@Sheppard2030]

"Box of Complaints". MWahahahahaa!!

[@Rangergeo85]

I was told the box of complaints was full. Lol

[@ewpoirier]

The first of the 9mm went through a hard knot in the piece lumber slowing it down considerably.

[@johnlongmore5750]

If you want to keep the sand, maybe do a stack of USPS shipping boxes (PM Small FR's) filled with sand, that'd give you a series of 1&3/4ths thick boxes (still tape-able!) you could stack up to gauge penetration with increments.
