10mm vs bulletproof glass

[Bigtanker]

22Plinkster uses a Glock 40 to test regular 180 gr FMJ 10mm and the Lehigh Defense Xtreme penetrater 140 gr. loaded by Underwood ammo. Cool stuff.

Interesting. That penetrator didn't deform much at all.

 

[Birds Away]

Very cool.

Nope. Does anyone know how that bullet is constructed? What it is made of?

Straight from the website

CNC machined from solid copper to overcome barriers to penetration

The Military Arms Channel (youtube) had a video that tests those same rounds but with ballistic gelatin. Very impressive indeed. Maybe of my spare carry mags should have those in it!

Watched that video the other day, seems like nothing can slow down that round. I was impressed, I plan on ordering some.

Keep in mind their on some on INGO that will scoff at the video because a Glock was used. Their just cheap plastic things you know.

What I didn't like about that is that I wish he would have used a standard 10mm from underwood instead of armscorp. He might as well have shot a .40s&w at it because that's about what Armscorp rounds are loaded at.

Not that I'm ever in bear country, but I wonder if those would be a better defensive round in that kind of situation. Of course a 44 Rem Mag, 454 Cassull, or 50 S&W Mag with a similar bullet would be even better.

Yeah but you are limited to 5 or 6 rounds before a reload.

Good point tanker. I think a G20 with 1 in the tube and 15 in the mag allows for a lot more opportunities.

Plinkster is definitely one of my favorite YouTube channels.
And yes, I'm a subscriber.

I recall seeing a video of Nugent finishing off a Cape buffalo with a 10mm- several shots, but it seemed to work.

You can get .44 magnum with those bullets, but if that 10mm goes through 1" of bullet proof glass, it will go through any part of a bear's skull and rip right through its brain. I think it is Finland where the police that patrol in the arctic use Glock 20's because of polar bears. They are probably loaded with hard cast lead bullets, but this one would be even better.

I've got two mags of these with my Glock 20, waiting on a hog hunt or a trip to bear country. I bought some in .380 and the new Xtreme Defender for my 9mm. I'm not carrying them yet, because I don't know how reliably they'll feed. We'll see. The 10mm rounds feed just fine in my Glock 20, though.

I'm betting he had hard cast lead bullets. I saw the video, btw, and while the animal was already probably mortally wounded, it got up and turned toward him and he put it down with a handfull of shots. It took him right down. These bullets would have been even better, no doubt. Solid copper beats even hard cast lead, for penetration. Just look at the way that thing smoked the bullet proof glass in 22 Plinsster's video!
