Hitting objects and evaluating the kenitic energy on them (based on the amount of movement) was the basis for the 1905 army pistol ammo tests, which resulted in a heavy bullet of at least .45 caliber coming out the winner and led to the .45 ACP 1911 adoption. So its not surprising that the .45 ACP in these tests did so well. However we now know that velocity can have better stopping power on 4 and 2 legged things rather than just a slower large heavy bullet. That said I just enjoy .45 ACP more due to its natural subsonic nature with a suppressor.
For a sub gun, pcc, pdw. The 45 is the way to go over 9mm for a dozen reasons. 1) subsonic ammo does not reduce lethality. 2) ANY ball ammo is very close in energy and velocity. I’ve crono’d nearly every brand I can find and it’s all within about 50 fps. 3) not reliant on bullet construction for terminal performance. 4) 45 acp is lethal to a greater distance than 9mm approx 175 yards vs 100. (I’m talking about energy foot pounds at distance) 5) if I want 10mm ballistics and terminal performance I can use 185 gr +p+ hard cast. (Actually more energy than most off the shelf 10mm) The list goes on. Also, people fail to realize that any improvements in bullet construction that made the 9mm hollow points as lethal as 45 ball ammo has been made on 45 acp hollow points as well. I’ll take the hit on drop (as I know my holdovers at distance) and capacity (25 vs30).
One thing a person would be surprised by is that the 9mm typically has a good bit more kinetic energy from a longer barrel. 230 grain .45 barely picks up any extra velocity past 5 inches of barrel while 115 grain 9mm picks up a lot of velocity. The demonstration here shows why momentum is just as if not more important than energy.
Lol this is a cool Video and I remember Bowling Pin shoots I was involved in several Decades ago a little different lol. I love my Slab Side and carried one for years but getting Older I’ve downsized to a 9mic and found it’s a little lighter and easier to handle and with the amazing choice of ammunition now even a .380 is devastating. Great Video Guys stay safe and Semper Fidelis
@@DeltaTeamTacticalMedia oh absolutely my little G19L is pretty smooth and lightweight and I only run 10 rounds with a spare to balance out my Old Ass lol..
always great time dealing with dtt! never seen someone go bowling with a gun but im sure the buddies would love to come out and try it with the 45 kit!
Delta Team Tactical has been my go to for some time now and Rifle Bowling looks like it would be a hoot! Can't wait to WIN the Tuck45, finish the build and give Rifle Bowling a ROLL!
I have the 45ACP Foxtrot Mike PCC. Without a doubt, I prefer the 45ACP because of the controllability of the cartridge as well as the fact that I pair it with my Glock 41MOS. Same mags, no confusion. I just have to stick to factory Glock, PMag and ETS Magazines to avoid compatibility issues with the lower. It's the modern day Tommy Gun.
Ok, this is one that I have had multiple arguments about. The argument is that 45 is always better due to size and energy over the 9mm. The counter argument is that 9mm offers more opportunity to poke more holes than a 45. But the 45 is subsonic so its better with a suppressor. But the 9mm is better because it can do both! The truth is that out of a longer barrel, the 45 has more energy when impacting the target and has more recoil but the 9mm does offer more opportunity to shoot that target will less recoil. Both do their job, but each has their own benefits.
I really think you have started something with untapped potential here with rifle bowling. I make sure to watch every one of them. I really look forward to the next video each time. Its a great way to introduce the world to your company, the people that work there, and the products you sell. Very well done and thank you.
Built 8 shofar this year 7.62x51 X3, 5.56x45 X3 , 7.62x38 X2 1x 5.56 & 1x 7.62x39 pistol's W/ 10.5" barrels sure would love to add .45 ACP AR to compliment my 2 1911 .45 ACP pistol's GI and officer model's. Tuck would be a perfect compliment to my setup
Umm... a strike followed by a 5 and 3 means first frame with 18, not 17. regardless, the muzzle energy probably matters most here, even though the 45 does have a small advantage by being wider. :) Seems like this should involve binary triggers, drum mags, and 3 frames in a line, but at further distances. :)
The result of this was kind of a foregone conclusion. I wonder if some ammo manufacturer would care to try to come up with a 9mm sending a 200 - 230 grain bullet at 800 - 1000 ft/sec. Or would the physics just not work? By the time you seat the bullet deep enough to get the max OAL, would there be any room left for propellant? And, with the reduced diameter, expansion characteristics would be paramount to effective terminal performance.
I am only commenting so that I can enter to win....that being said, in my experience delta is a fine company and this video makes me like them just a little bit more.
I have to say the 9mm because it's lighter and a faster flying round then the 45 me and my buddy did the same thing with 223s about 200 yd the key is aiming low at the board
I dont understand the argument. A 9mm is a 9mm and a 45 is a 45. Both do the job intended. I never heard of an operator saying "I would have been ok if I had my 45 and not my 9mm. The bullets sure TF dont care.. Its like the Chevy Ford argument. Most that argue it cant tell you the firing order of the car they claim to know so much about.. Its a dck shaking comp for teenagers, But for some reason todays men havnt grown out of it.
I'm gonna bet the .45 ACP pistol build knocks down more pins. More energy hiting a pin that transfers to nearby pins compared to 9mm energy. If the .45 ACP shooter misses that's the only way 9mm will win I predict!
