Hi everyone! This video tests which airgun is actually deadlier...the 25 caliber or the 30 caliber. Below is the link to the written article that accompanies this video. I suggest taking them both in for the full story.

Good experiment and sound science. The only thing I’ll point out though is that the test was performed uniformly at 20 yards. I believe that would favor the .25 caliber. We can leave aside the physics jargon,.. You’ve made all variables equal, except of course the properties of the pellets themselves. You would expect the pellet with the smaller profile cross section to experience less drag through the medium. Now, how about when you start to widen the distance? I’ve seen anecdotal tests of a Hatsan Blitz hitting line boards, back and forth between a .25 and a .30 caliber. The 30 definitively carries more energy past the 75 yard threshold. Was your decision to set the targets at 20 yards just arbitrary? Because I believe beyond a certain distance threshold you’ll actually see the results of the experiment flip between the two calibers.

@BakerAirguns
@BakerAirguns 2 года назад
Penetration is the foremost function of a projectile. When dealing with low energy airguns (compared to high energy firearms), penetration is often questionable. If it doesn't go in, or go in far enough, energy transfer is a moot point. Even the biggest, baddest airguns made are barely firearm handgun powerful. How do handguns kill? They poke holes so you bleed, even with modern hollowpoints. Airguns are no different, and less powerful. -Donnie
@timtullio1210
@timtullio1210 2 года назад
@@BakerAirguns Penetration is not the foremost function. It's dumping all the energy into the animal and not just punching hole through. If you have, and can dump all the ft/lbs of energy into animal and not through it, you're ahead of the game. That's knock down power, that's lights out power. I have an .25 Edgun, two .30's and two 357's pellet/slug PCP's. Trust me, .25's don't hit and kill nearly as fast as the larger calibers. Thirty cals blow squirrels clean out of the tree. Thirty's kill groundhogs, .25's are sketchy without a perfect hit.

@@timtullio1210 Yeah man I just GOTTA agree with you. Really liked the video, but I believe his "physics" are incorrect. Energy dump is EVERYTHING! I killed LOTS of birds as a kid with a pump 177 and very rarely did it ever make a hole. Hollow points are designed Specifically to increase energy transfer. And if the projectile exits the target, well that's waisted energy...
@100PCMMCW
@100PCMMCW 2 года назад
@@timtullio1210 you've made a very good point but with respect, I feel like the point of this video was not about the question of; Is penetration more important than energy dump? I felt it was very much about introducing to less experienced air gun shooters, the basic first principals of ballistics as they pertain to Air Guns (especially PCP's). As a Break Barrel gunner, it helped me visualise a couple of really important scenarios: 1. The crossover of efficacy of the two bore sizes' projectile at the same FPE at the muzzle for both penetration and terminal energy. EG - If I have less penetration, my effective range is reduced, which could affect target selection (size, type and POA/POI). Or, what's my DOPE going to be? How would that affect my working range, firing positions or both? Donnie's theory and explanations of the variables would help almost any lay person to answer those questions themselves - whether that be to choose a new platform or, make adjustments in the field quickly with whichever platform they're using. Which is fantastic. 2. If I was considering a new platform, do I need .30 cal, or would .25 Cal suit my needs better? And from that perspective, I felt Donnie's testing methodology and explanations spoke to both of those scenarios really well as a layperson to PCP world. The other great outcome of Donnie explaining things the way he has, is that less experienced PCP gunners can apply all of this to their own decision making in the field. The more folks that have a good understanding of Ballistics as a subject, the less likely it is they'll make unfortunate choices, and the higher the likelihood of humane kills. That's what I took from the video anyway. If that was Donnie's intention for this video, do you feel he nailed it? What are your thoughts from that point of view? Cheers

Dude! We need to chat soon on this topic for big bore Airguns. I just dropped that Doe last weekend with the .50 cal Texan short carbine at around 500 FPE. At 50 yards the slug bedded on the backside of the hide. It was perfectly broadside so I was like WTF! I expected to blow right through that Doe. At the same 500 FPE power level, I get .457 slugs penciling through deer almost every single time. So your test has a lot of application for big bore Airguns on larger game. With Deer they rarely just fold up and expire on the spot so having a full pass through on a double lung shot is preferable to create a fully open wound cavity for better blood trails not to mention a deer can survive on a single lung. Contrary to some of the comments on this post about a full energy dump being ideal. With deer, it is not. Keep up the Airgun geekery brother!

@scottmichael3745 2 года назад
Although I respect your opinion, I do disagree. The more energy transferred, the more damage done. That IS physics. But I Absolutely see what you're saying about faster bleed out with the passthrough. Shot placement is of course critical, but if slightly off center, I'd prefer damage to passthrough. You could hit em in the ass with a passthrough and have them run off, but with full energy dump, it may have had a broken leg or spine and not able to run off. But the military has done more research on this subject than Anyone on the planet. Might want to read some of their thoughts on the subject. (Spoiler, they believe in energy transfer).
@UpNorthAirGunner
@UpNorthAirGunner 2 года назад
@@scottmichael3745 Well first off you’re totally wrong in the fact the deer isn’t expiring from bleeding out of your shot selection was correct. Your shutting down the respiratory system not the circulatory system with a double lung shot. What I’m saying is you get a better blood trail for tracking and NOT that the animal is expiring from loss of blood. Dispatching from blood loss can actually take a long time. I’ve tracked Deer for hundreds of yards with blood everywhere to have it all of a sudden just stop. Often from the single hole becoming clogged most likely from tissue. It happens and every seasoned hunter has experienced it. The amount of energy we get with big bore Airguns is in the realm of handgun firearm cartridges not high energy projectiles like you mention the military doing studies on which I’m assuming you’re referencing studies done on 5.56 and 7.62 ammo. Those projectiles are producing energy in the magnitude of thousands of foot pounds of energy, not hundreds like we see with Airguns. I’ve dispatched quite a few deer with big bore Airguns and will tell you it’s much more like archery, not firearms. Go watch handgun shootout footage on RU-vid with handguns. People aren’t getting blown off their feet when getting hit with 9mm or 45 ACP rounds. Sometimes if they are hopped up enough on adrenaline (or drugs), they just keep coming. Shot placement is crucial but dumping 500 FPE into a 200 pound animal doesn’t do as much as you think it would. Go watch some of my videos where I dump 600 FPE hollow points into the chest of a large Doe and they just look around like what just but me. It’s different man. Trust me

Basically because of the size difference, there is more grab area upon arrival of the projectile, thus quickly arresting it's penetration distance, so that is easily understood.

Who shoots 2 calibers at the same energy though? 25 cal is capable of 100ft lb and the 30 cal much more. 60gr 30 cal at 950fps vs 50gr 25 cal at 950fps the 30 cal is going to perform better right? Slugs are designed to expand and stop with the exception of bull nose or solid nose slugs so very cool break down of what you've shown but I can't see anyone going up to a 35 cal to shoot it at 600fps to go hunting. FPE comparison is great for what you're showing though nice work for giving the up side and down side in both options.

Lot's can be said about this topic and how one wishes to use this information, but as a general rule when dispatching an animal you typically want to transfer the complete amount energy of the projectile to the target. Even more important than that, is first hitting the target in the best location for the cleanest kill. This will ensure the most successful result. If a projectile passes through the target precious energy has been wasted. Too many variables to talk about depending on many issues but that is a good start. Enjoyed seeing your results and after testing similar things with handguns I was not surprised with your results. A .22 rimfire will travel through more 2X4's than .a .357Mag, a 45ACP, and a 44Mag but I would have a different choice than a .22 rimfire for a personal protection weapon, if available. Good stuff to ponder.

Awesome video!!!! Lethality is determined by how much kinetic energy is delivered on target, pass through's leave little to no damage (wound channel collapses in on itself the entire length, this is where smaller cross section projectiles with hollowed out cross sections excel, they leave a gaping wound channel that does not collapse on itself, and blood loss and trauma set in) where as a hit and stay in target leave's said wound channel open where the projectile is embedded which translates to more blood loss, and more trauma on soft targets. Head shots are all about penetration, just like body armor is defeated by higher velocities, with smaller cross sections at POI. H&N 31.1gr Grizzlies are ideal for head shots, they have a small cross section starred hollow point, made with hardened lead.

Excellent explanation and rudimentary insight into projectile physics. You proved valid points for both calibers and showed that all other things being equal, that with a light projectile of identical momentum and lower drag will out-penetrate a more massive projectile of higher drag with less velocity -ie- speed kills. Referring to WW1 and WW2 tank armor penetration studies conducted by the US Army will validate your conclusions as well. Roy Weatherby was really into something.... But for all you ladies and gentlemen out there still trying to quantify "killing power" please remember that a .25 bullet might expand, but a .30 will never get any smaller.

@ballsflying

Interesting video, you nailed it I think. I think the .30 caliber dumps more energy and does this quicker. The ballistic gel jumps up quite a bit in the 30 cal hit. Moreover the .30 caliber remains its energy longer. So try this at 50 m. I have the Hatsan .30 breakbarrel. The trajectory of the heavy pellets is curved, 50 m takes 2,5 milldots.

There is still more to this that should be factored in. Show the wound channel and upset between them and I believe it show show a much different picture. Another thing this does show is that the .30 caliber transfers it's energy into the target much more rapidly causing much higher shock. These air guns in either caliber are used for small game that do not have a 13" or 18" cross section so a projectile with the capability to transfer its energy much faster has the advantage. I have seen this argument in archery just the same and the heavier projectile always won. There is also the difficulty in testing this in hunting handguns. There had to be a different test and physics equation created because the equations used for rifle cartridges made large bore handgun cartridges and even many large bore rifle cartridges look absolutely harmless. They came up with something called the K.O factor. Love the video. I'm now a subscriber.

It's NOT just about penetration. It's also about wound cavity. The 30 caliber wins as far as total destruction. That's the bet to go with.

EXACTLY! The difference in depth is NOT significant! If the 25 kills a hog, Im betting the 30 would do it better due to a bigger hole and a heavier pellet. He nerded his way into nonsense.

Few things.... The greater than sign faces the other way. Less than LEFT (both start with with S's. Gotta thank my 6th grade math teacher for that trick, thanks Mrs Cabrara) Penetration has little to do with "deadly" I'd rather get shot and have the bullet pencil thru than get hit with a hollow point slug with more fpe that explode my organs and kills me immediately. Wood has knots. Shooting through wood as a test is never going to give you repeatable results. Aside from that, I loved the video. I was actually suprised by the results. Regardless if I disagree with the "deadly" aspect

If you're rich, both are lots of fun and you can own whatever you like and put whatever you like to your purpose. That being said, I am careful what I buy, and I was shopping for info on this very subject and did find this video. I've got a Hatsan Mod 125 .17 cal. can't live without an excellent gas-piston break barrel. Next, my .22 cal. Benjamin Marauder pistol is loads of fun. So, this was a question of which heavier caliber to get, .25 or .30? Well, it might be both. But I'm getting the .25 regardless, based only on what I saw here. Thinking of getting the Hatsan Galatian Tact. Because Tactical is practical.

Hi from italy here , nice video , i have a question, why an airgun domed pellet like jsb does penetrate further then a bullet ? I have seen a lost of video of penetratiin test of 22lr solid bullet so no expansìon 29 or 36 or 40 grain fired from pocket pistola at 70 - 80 fpe and it does penetrare only 12 - 13 inches in 10% ballistic gel , it is only .22 so lead area to overcome the gel block , in tour video a .25 and 30 penetrate 18 inches . Im curiius why this happen . It seems that bullet has more drag then pellet ?Sorry for my english 😁

As someone who spent a year doing research and live testing on .177,.22,.25 cal airguns under 25fpe I would say most people commenting are basing this off what’s on paper or their personal experiences. I have literally took the time to try to create a “killing power” formula or medium for these power ranges and let’s just say when you talking about LOW POWER SMALL CALIBER (under 25fpe) and smaller than .25 cal there is no linear climb in energy delivery in actual game. Meaning I use lower velocity high penetration.177 for almost all small game and have found it fairs way better for consistency in killing power and speed verses my higher energy options. Like I said most will disagree but I spent a year focusing on this and I’m telling you for the SMALL CALIBERS it’s just better. For the calibers he’s speaking about I don’t have direct experience to comment but with well placed shots on proper game none of this really matters bc you can’t be any deader than dead.

I have a Hatsan 135 QE vortex .25 caliber break barrel air rifle that I shoot H&N 22 grain hornet pellets from and I did a penetration test video that I posted on my channel shooting a hornet pellet from 20 feet away at 3 back to back plastic gallon water jugs and the hornet deposited so much energy into the first jug as they tend to do within the first 5 inches of penetration as is evidenced by it partially ripping the back of the first jug when exiting and it poked a hole in the other side of the second jug but didn’t quite exit it. Had I been shooting a 29 grain domed pellet with the 29 or 30 foot pounds of energy my rifle is putting out at the muzzle it probably would have entered the third jug but not deposited as much energy into the first jug and thus not done as much damage. In a similar test with the Diana 350 magnum .22 I used to have shooting a JSB 18.13 grain domed pellet with about 24 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle it would penetrate slightly deeper poking the third jug but not piercing it but not depositing as much energy or damaging the first jug as much. Even with 5 less foot pounds of energy the domed pellet held onto it’s energy slightly further. Yet when shooting an unopened gallon Hawaiian Punch container the Diana 350 magnum couldn’t shoot the domed pellet through it but my Hatsan could shoot the hornet through it because it’s only about 5 inches of liquid to get through as well as the 2 thick layers of plastic and the hornets dump most of their energy within the first 5 inches so the greater energy from my rifle could get the hornet through that 5 inches. This test comparison on this video should be done with the .25 caliber and .30 caliber versions of my rifle using domed pellets

just a idea, increase the distance and test again . smaller projectiles have a disadvantage of wind, but i would like to see if the 25 can maintain its advantage at a greater distance. as with any hunting round it is the damage and wound channel that do the killing so the 30 will make a bigger hole and do more damage BUT with penetration as the subject of debate i would like to know if the 25 will shed fpe faster and loose the advantage. really interested as i have been thinking about getting a 25. i have no preference in airgun calibers i just love to shoot them.

in practice the same type pcp do have a output 177 is 30 fp .a 22 45 fp, a 25 60 fp and a .30 80 fp so the comparing is only with the same output energy in your test and my tuned dreamline is doing 115 fpounds .30 also a 700 mm barrel and the rest tuning parts whats needed ,you can not get there with a smaller caliber because 150 bar is more driving force at a bigger bullet and also there is speed limit with pellets somewhere 900 fps (accuray)so you have to find it in the weight of the projectile the output.

I would assume most people are shooting birds and squirrels and maybe raccoon size animals. And when you're getting a full pass through every time penetration doesn't matter anymore. It's the wound channel which the wound channel of the 25 would be bigger. So it would be more damage

No hostility here. But (you know there had to be a but) the projectiles are made of the same material. The projectiles ductility has to be considered compared to the targets resistance to deformation and desired depth of penetration to adequately predict its performance on a given target. I would like to see testing with projectiles of various hardness at the same velocity. (for penetration testing) It could very well be ,in a hunting or defense situation , that the .30, while not going as deep into the target may have distributed its energy in a way that was more effective compared with deeper penetrating projectiles of a smaller diameter ,made of the same soft lead. That extra momentum and increased frontal area ,(that increases the resistance to penetration ,) is what knocks thing down . It also makes a broader wound channel that is less likely to close behind the projectile. It really depends on exactly what one desires to achieve with the projectile’s terminal performance. Great vid. 👍 We need affordable pellet cast and swage molds to be produced in this country so we can play with different lead alloys. You want to get right on that Don?😁👍 There’s a Vietnamese fellow that has come up with what looks like an effective system made from plates of steel. Feel free to root around in my playlists about DIY homemade airgun pellets it’s in there somewhere.
