This week on Tactical Rifleman, we are looking at what the best ammo and gun for home defense is, it's another video in our “Home Defense” series… better known as the “Wall Video.” After our last Wall video, we had a TON of comments from viewers, pissed that I didn’t use THEIR favorite hollow point or THEIR favorite rifle/pistol round. There were also tons of requests for other variables; such as “block in front of the wall,” “multiple-drywall walls,” and the “just do a plain gel block video” request. Well, we listened, and we have filmed several new wall videos, and have a bunch more planned for the near future. No, I’m not going to shoot my pretty walls with a .50 BMG. Well, maybe not for a while.
So, this week I tried to check a few of your request blocks… We are going to shoot the bad guy, with a bunch of your favorite Home Defense rounds, and then we are going to measure the over-penetration through that typical “American” drywall interior home wall (if they over penetrate).
Now, I did mention “your favorite Home Defense rounds.” Remember, in our previous “Wall” video we had already tested Buckshot, Birdshot, Slug, 9mm Ball, and 5.56mm Ball. So, we didn’t need to do any of those again. You, the commenters, listed a ton of other home defense rounds… mostly Hollow Points. Did we use YOUR favorite? Actually, I picked these rounds because… First, the 12 Gauge Buckshot is being used as a “constant” and because half the planet hates me for saying “I don’t like shotguns.” Second, to represent “Hollow Points” I decided to go with a standard jacketed hollow point, and I decided to go with .45ACP. Why 45? Well, because it is actually going to over-penetrate less than the same hollow points in other calibers. That’s right, the smaller 10mm, 357sig, .40, and even the 9mm all penetrate deeper than the .45ACP (with the same bullet design). As for the other four bullets (9mm & 5.56mm), I decided to pick ammo that I wanted to see. Remember I said “YOUR favorite Home Defense rounds”? Well, I am hoping after you see WHY I picked these, that you just might change YOUR mind about what ammo you want for home defense.
We love Inceptor Frangible ammo, and we have a Promo Code to save you a bit. Also, G-9 makes some really great ammo, especially for EDC. Their pistol ammo will go through the windshields and car doors, while still limiting over-penetration when it finally hits the bad guy. Magic? Nope, just a company thinking outside the box and applying physics to solve life’s problems. This is my new EDC ammo.
So, give this video a second view. I guarantee that you will pick something up. Yes, it is boring, no pretty brick walls or Tannerite. There is no jackassery for viewers to bitch about. Raw data. You be the judge.
Thanks for watching, and a special BIG THANKS to all our Patreon patrons, whos support helps us build these walls, buy this sexy ammo/guns/gel, and keep the film crew fed. Strength and Honor, TR.
