[Marine Cpl]

And one again, actions speak for themselves.

It's CINDERBLOCK MAN!:

 

[Cippee]

Too bad they didn't test 10mm.

 

[Darth]

Too bad they didn't test 10mm.

Or 500.

Or 5.7x28mm.

 

[HighlandLofts]

It's PROVEN, Andrew's REPUBLIC of NEW YORKISTAN need's a SAFE ACT on CINDER BLOCKS!

 

[HighlandLofts]

No cinder blocks over 4 ounces and one cubic foot.

 

[GOYABEAN]

Three different Guns three different loads of Powder oh and all cinder blocks aren't built the same

 

[HighlandLofts]

THIS IS NEW YORK, CINDER BLOCKS IS NOT WHO WE ARE!

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

I've been threatened by gangs of cinderblocks on more than one occasion. I feel better knowing which caliber I should be using to defend myself.

 

[togmaster]

Block head.

 

[Defilade]

Problem was, It was a Glock!

 

[dwa12479]

So the cinder block still has its soul?

 

[S&W Fan]

Who uses FMJ's for SD ? ?

 

[Saltwater60]

And who needs a round to go through a cider block? All you need is a round that will penetrate and stop a human. Any of those rounds listed above will do the trick.

But if you were behind the Cider block? Ahhhh

 

[Marine Cpl]

But if you were behind the Cider block? Ahhhh

Or if the perp is behind a refrigerator, large piece of wooden furniture, an aluminum display stand at a store, gas pump, garbage can or small dumpster returning fire. You are going to want a caliber that is better suited in penetrating these barriers.

Eh. Non comparable ammo different barrel lengths. If you don't care about the barrel length then what the hell is the point lol? At least he displayed how the 45 is superior.

All it did was make a small dent. The others went through the first layer.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

I don't like the shot placement. And I also don't like that the 45 was the shortest barrel. Why not shoot the 45 out of a 1911 and the 9 out of a short barrel?

Hard cider...

It wouldn't of made a difference. I've got other videos showing the 9 or .40 out penetrating the .45 on hard barriers. There's the medieval helmet, steel pot WW2 helmet, phone books, asbestos planks, ect. There are many.

Don't forget the infamous frying pan too.

 

[Airborneguy]

Can a .45 even penetrate paper? I'm starting to wonder.

fmjs are the most popular bullets all over the world.
Some actually fragment like crazy.
In a 380 is a good idea to use fmj to gain a tad penetration.
They might not be the first choice for many for personal proteccion but if you have decent FMJ ammo do not feel
shorthanded. In certain situations might even give you a tactical advantage like shooting through glass and other
intermediate and hard barriers.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Anything soft that that requires weight for penetration.... Yes!

Anything hard that requires speed for penetration.... No!

 

[Podmonkey]

For targets hiding behind cinder blocks or frying pans, or T 34 tanks I like to use this.
Picked one up at a Texas gun show back in the day. Skip to 6:35 for the actual firing.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Can a .45 even penetrate paper? I'm starting to wonder.

Funny you say that. I picked up a bunch of brass at my range yesterday and mixed in was some 357 sig brass. Looking at the brass I wasn't sure it could even reliably cut through the wind.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Jokes can be used for for diversion but facts don't lie. I used to be a 1911fanboy. Nobody could tell me that the manly .45 wasn't the beast tamer. How could it not be? It's bigger!

Well, when you research ballistics and tests and learn how bullets work, you see different. It's up to you to see these results with a bias or not. That's entirely based on your character.

Eh. The 45 is effective. I don't need much more research than that. And speaking of bias... if you find the 45 acp that can penetrate the notorious frying pan then it would be about capacity. Then if you find a way to increase capacity then it would be about weight. Then if you find a way to reduce the overall weight then it's about cost and so on and so on. Honestly these tests are silly. They're all effective. Use whatever you like best.
