The most uncomfortable truth is that the 'bad guy' is going to be much more experienced and comfortable with being the bad guy, than you are at defending yourself.
I mean i guess that could be true if you're a fuckin candy ass
Best way to survive a gunfight is to avoid getting in one.
💯 I talk about that a bunch in previous videos
Orrr hear me out, take them from the hills😊
“Dense enough to stop a projectile moving at Mach Jesus.” 😂 Legendary!
Training is the most important thing you can do to prepare yourself for a situation you never want to be in.
I worked for an armored car company in Vegas in the 90’s. Staying on the fringes isn’t possible with some jobs. One of my good friends got shot while making a pickup after getting ambushed at a customer. Guys from another company that I knew got ambushed outside of a casino.
25:49 The worst thing I hear, "I don't need a gun because I live in a safe neighborhood or town". I thought my town was very safe until I started receiving & reading local police activity reports. Holy Shit! No town or neighborhood is safe!
You got scared and thought the sky was falling and hid in your house with a gun and internet.
Yep, barricaded myself inside with sandbags all around the house. 😅
@@FREEDOMGUNNER may you one day be able to free yourself from your self-imposed prison.
The uncomfortable truth is most people are out of shape, that's the thing that will take people our.
What is this a john wick movie I'm not running a mile most exchanges are only about 5 minutes long at the most
@@robertkidnley93 all of that is wrong, disengaging from the situation has a high success rate at keeping you alive whenever possible. You're right this isn't John wick, those bullets can kill you. And five minutes is 4 minutes and 50 seconds longer than 99% of fire fights that aren't on an actual battlefield.
@@robertkidnley93 When you realize you are over matched and try to extract yourself from the situation and run 30 yards and trip due to muscle exhaustion you will likely wish you weren't such a lazy bastard.
@@robertkidnley93 that training to run that mile. Makes 15ft that much easier.
storeowner and his son was killed in a store robbery because the storeowner was trying to rack the slide before the bad guy shot him
In California the uncomfortable truth is that criminals aren't complying with the restrictions like mag capacity. So we have to choose whether or not to comply and put ourselves at more of a disadvantage.
This is it. The laws they’re ramming through only hurt law abiding, tax paying citizens.
This system is setup to see us fail and die defenseless.
DNC takes on a whole new meaning.😉
My sympathy to our fellow Americans residing in commie states 😢
Same with NY.
My uncomfortable gun truth is the fact that you may be in a gunfight, or more specifically on the recieving end of a gunfight, and you may never have a clear, clean shot back at the enemy.
You see, the enemy doesn't mind killing you. But, he is well aware that giving you a chance to fight back will result in you killing him. So, he will never willingly give you the chance to return fire. Even if that means he shoots first and then runs away.
Then, when you try to engage the bad guy anyway, we begin to have to worry more about friendly fire than we did about the enemy himself.
Yeah, can be cautious everyday, carry everyday, and some yokel with a decent rifle a quarter mile away decides to have some target practice...oh well...
I agree with most of this but I would counter the “not seeing your sights” argument with the fact that point shooting is a thing.
Uncle Freedom is informative and funny at the same time.
Well....a 50 cal past me may not steal my soul......but I'll bet it would steal my will to fight......
"Screw you guys, you cheat. I'm going home ..... to change my pants"
I once heard that the 9mm round will blow the lung out the body.
I've been in the combat arms and in urban law enforcement. With the exception of two armed bank robbers I took down; I can't think of an armed suspect encountered beyond the length of a car. Most were within 3 feet or less. Civilian engagements at distances fitting an 11B better come with a good story. Stay in good physical shape and maintain situational awareness. Trust your gut. God gave you instinct. Don't talk yourself out of it. Don't let your pride keep you from disengaging and walking away from a potentially serious situation. Appreciate your videos. Very good advice.
Well said, thank you sir!!!
Every gunfight is a coin toss.
Being able to be threat focused with both eyes open are the biggest advantages I see with running a red dot on a rifle or handgun.
You can do the same with irons.
You shooy both eyes open with irons too. I grew up hunting so it took me a minute to adjust but it wasnt hard to pick up.
Great video, as most are. Gotta be honest brother, I disagreed heavily with the not stockpiling fmj, but thats the thing about this country, we all have different opinions, as well as different situational requirements. I dont have to agree with everything you say, but i agree with a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to make videos and give your thoughts and experience based input. As well as giving your personal reasons behind it. To the keyboard commandos in the comments that trash this dude for his opinions, set up your own youtube channel, take time out of your life, buy the cameras and editing software, get some real world experience under your belt, open yourself up to hateful comments, and give a solid counter-argument. Oh, and find Jesus.
I disagreed heavily also about not stockpiling fmj because I reload a lot of fmj 5.56 and it allows me to train more because of the price. He gives out a lot of useful information though
The FMJ I have had been extensively tested, by me, on actual "stuff." And the FMJ I have did really well compared to most of the HP I tested. But there are some caveats and astricts and I need to do my own video on my own experience.
But most of where I'm excited about "FMJ" is where I have a rifle, with a real rifle length barrel, pushing 5.56 velocity.
With pistols my experience is mostly with HP and I'm happy with those results (vary happy with XTP in various rounds). My wadcutter experiences were good and my 1 FMJ pistol experience didn't leave me happy. I'm still not sure if the issue is "you didn't hit anything" or "you hit but it still took off into the hills."
22lr sucks balls. If I had to be hit with something, that's the one I'd want to be hit with. Well, that and birdshot. But birdshot from 5-10 ft makes a dent.
Agree. I have a few thousand of fmj, allows me to train more and I slowly buy boxes of the good stuff. However I don’t really shoot those often, just enough to know how each one shoots out of what rifle. And if I’m in a position where I NEED to use a few hundred rounds of 3 different types of defensive ammo I stock. Then I’ve definitely done something wrong I needed to not be where I am a LONG time ago.
@@woodsghost9088 what do you test on? I had a bunch of fruit from a family orchard that was going bad. 22lr round nose would go right through it without much effect. Hollow points on the other hand would explode the fruits. It was crazy how much of a difference there was.
My line of thinking is that I don't stockpile ammo for 'shtf', I stockpile ammo because one day it will either be highly regulated or painfully expensive and I want to continue to practice shooting. So for me I buy as much FMJ as I can when the prices are low so I can shoot even when the prices are high.
No man has ever uttered the words, regardless of caliber, "shoot me again".
May i introduce you to Houston Jones?
This is so true 99.9999 percent of the time but haha made me think of this one police activity video where the officer shot the perp point blank and dude literally said “ ugh, gimme another one!” While still coming towards the officer. Granted that’s like one in a billion probably. Dude was probably doped up.
@@joshuas390Gold
Smiling right now at how much I enjoy your videos.
I have a few points of contention time to time, but they're solid.
Keep it up!
if you are uncomfortable carrying with a round in the chamber, then find yourself a good hammer fired double action/single action, or carry a revolver.
HK with the LEM trigger.
@@lordhellfire153 HK makes fantastic hammer DA/SA, my only complaint with them is that I can't get a USP or HK45 with an optic cut
Thank you, sir. For yet another informanal video. 😂👍
I hear people tell me all the time that they stagger rounds in their mag for some reason.. youre wasting your breath telling people not to
Ten years from now you will still get comments about it
My favorite is 'a bullet is a bullet so fmj is fine'
Or 'fmj has put plenty of people in the dirt'
Or 'more people have died from 22 than anything else' .. because its extremely popular. Deadly doesnt mean it will immediately stop a threat
It made me incredibly happy to hear you use that voice when you said “I’m a sheepdog.” Because I know who coined that term, and that guy is full of it.
As for my favorite BS that makes my eye twitch, it’s gotta be things revolver fudds will say in any conversation about handgun reliability.
Great as usual
Mach Jesus! I’m crying!!😂😂
I have seen hundreds of terminal wounds created by various calibers in the human body. SGN’s are amazingly devastating at 7 yds or less. Rifle fire (not 22lr) will just ruin your day and pistol fire (.38 and above) tends to make a bad guy think twice about continuing their nefarious ways! Bullets do really weird shit when they hit humans and placement is STILL critical!!
Great video Uncle Freedom!!!👍🏼🇺🇸
Another great video keep them coming and once again I hope you and yours are doing well after this past week of storms. All the videos I have seen none of it looks good. Prayers for your part of the country.
Always good!
this ought to be good. i.e. hardly anyone has been in a gunfight, and everyone thinks they will win.
yeah this one gets followed by whT I believe is the most important thing which is Gungighter Mindset
For the record, I never thought I'd win the "gun fight". I just meant to take enough enemy with me to save a few of my buddies. Then, damn-it, I kept living.
Every dude thinks they'll win a gun fight, they're great at sex, they're an amazing kisser, they can fight a bear, or they'll last more than 20 seconds against Mike Tyson.
None of these are true. Humble yourself.
hahahaha this is too true lmao. my first thought after the first time was...... Holy Shit that was not what I thought would happen followed by holy ahit I don't have any extra holes
Thanks.
Full Metal Jacket has been taking care of business for a long time, so have sticks and stones but it's darn hard to concealed carry a bolder or a tree limb.
I conceal carry my "limb" by tucking it in my sock. 😁
The one about striking fear into everyone by racking a pump shotgun, often connected with some round stacking bs. Another is the pride in never cleaning anything.
Yeah your videos make my day
Will not argue that irons are better than red dot sights, but I do enjoy using them especially around other shooters using red dots cause they are always asking me how can you hit your targets so well with irons lol.
everyone should be training with both, if your dot fails you need to be accurate with your co-witnessed irons as well. Tell those guys to get some rounds in with irons next time. 👍
Regarding .50, "It doesn't magically steal your soul when it passes by"

Being too close to the muzzle brake
.....makes a bad day!

This is where the myth about 50 cal having enough shock to kill comes from. I have no idea how that deer died. My personal theory is that it passed just a couple microns from the deer's nose and the shock blew out her sinuses.
Then how does it magically remove money from bank accounts?
@@newscoulomb3705 with a credit card.
@newscoulomb3705 Gun owners practice that form of magic, and they also try (to varying degrees of success) the Force mindtrick on their wives, "These are not the guns that I just bought."
yup, good shit 👍
You're right about training with your stuff. I've seen quite a few people who's gun went click instead of bang because they didn't disengage their safety.
Compared to most, I am a novice shooter that doesn’t know of any gun that goes “click” with the safety engaged. It seems to me that any gun that goes “click” with the safety engaged should be looked at by a gunsmith.
Think I’m on my way to setting up my 19 same way as yours. Have an X300T and ACRO P2, need to get optics cut still. Is that Radian Ramjet and Afterburner working well?
I have a lot of experience with perforating hides.
22lr is great for something under 2 lbs.
For something 20 lbs or larger, I need 5-7 connecting rapidly to get the desired speed of expiration.
I've hit in the vitals with a single 22 and 30 minutes later it was still among the living. So 7 friends later, things were brought to a end.
What I think is going on is when you reach a certain size, it's better to use the 22lr like a shotgun and send a stream/cone if time is of the essence.
Otherwise, sure, send one and wait 30-60 minutes.
I have no argument with someone who says "CNS hit!!!" Yes, if you can hit a dime or quarter, and have deep knowledge of the anatomy, and can take your time, go for it.
For defensive use, if I had to choose between 22 and almost anything else, I would choose almost anything else.
Between a 22 and a sharp stick? There are a lot of sharp sticks I would trust more than I trust the 22lr in a defensive situation.
@unclefreedom213 Love your content and view points. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Underwood Extreme defender rounds.
He talks about the Xtreme Defender bullet in two videos about handgun ammo. "Top 10 Defensive Handgun Rounds" and "Handgun Bullet Considerations for Defensive Minded Citizens". He said he loves them, in those videos.
Got my Ifak kit and I have taken many stop the bleed classes.
After watching John Wick: Yeah, I'm that guy.
Oh my stars this is freaking gold!!
FPE matters, always. Hollow points allow said energy to be dumped into the target ASAP. Grains are good to know, and can be roughly used, but without calculating FPE with grains and velocity, it’s just an arbitrary statistic. This is why 150 grains from a .308 does more damage than 150 grains from a 9mm, 10mm, .40, .45, etc. Ballistics and bullet advancements had an effect on all types of ammunition in all calibers. I’m not arguing against a 9mm, and while I don’t think it’s the “best” caliber, I carry one every day, everywhere in town.
I pretty much agree on all else, not that you care what I think.
What Glock slide is that in the thumbnail?
that deer identified as being armed 😂
"Behind the power curve". Is my guy behind a throttle as well?🛩️
Action always beats reaction
Some of the things you saying depends on the persons level of training, each individual should go what they're comfortable with and not whats popular...I have several reasons why I carry with no optic but I do own guns with optics
I have several SA/DA Beretta 9mm pistols, and I always carry with one in the chamber, and the safety off. My reflexes aren't quite what they used to be, and I can be safe with my weapons in other ways (e.g., never place your finger in the trigger guard until ready to fire, never draw upon anything that you don't want to destroy, etc.). Besides, that first DA trigger pull is heavier than the rest, so that is sort of a psychological safety.
Sam @bonus3, 20 yrs ago at the national guard post @ bowman field in Louisville i was told that the round shot from gun under the cockpit of an apache helicopter would rip you in half if came within 2ft of you. We all believed the pilot. It was a huge conversation topic. This reminded me of that😂😂😂
The uncomfortable truth about caliber:
10mm: You can’t afford it
.45 ACP: You can’t afford it
.357 SIG: You can’t afford it
.40 S&W: You can’t afford it
9mm: You still can’t really afford to train like you should but it’s the cheapest center fire option.
Dry fire, quick draw and movement drills. Laser/mantis or bb guns.
When i was younger I used to stagger rounds. To be fair it was because I shot a windshield at an adverse angle with a hollow point and it simply ricocheeted off. Seeing this I figured it had to be that the bullet had deformed on impact and because of the deformation it didn't pennatrate. That may have been true, but having shot at another windshield with full metal jackets and getting near enough identical results I figure that my first conclusion was probably flawed. It was more the angle than the projectile.
Yes, sharks with lasers and deer with guns, a deer rifle !
magazines are for sure the vast majority of malfunctions. When I was a grunt in the army our m16s jammed all the time. I always blamed it on the weapon because I didnt know any better. We were passing around these old vietnam era magazines without anti-tilt followers. Military didnt care because we were just training with them.
Beware the man with one gun.
“Be aware of the man who TRAINS with one gun” is the saying you were looking for homie😂
reloading FMJ gives us a cost effective round to train with especially if we are reloading.
As you train, so will you do when TSHTF. That's what I tell my Juniors and Seniors when they moan and groan about our safety drills at school.
As always great content sir. 🫡🇺🇸💪🏻
I don't always agree with everything you say but I enjoy your videos nevertheless. It's like stopping over at my neighbor's house and having a conversation.
The red dot i carry always gets dirty...i even got a new one that protects the window better to help combat this. Thats my major issue with them. Not buying slide cuts also lets me get a H&K vp9sk for around 525...btw, if you do have the cuts..HK says you need new screws every 2000 rounds. HK.."the best place to have to shop for anything" 😂
Thx for the info. Do you mean having it cut by them or the latest models that are OR?
That would suck quite a bit if the screws see all the load.
@@onpsxmember the latest models that come with the plate already cut. If you leave that plate, you have to change the plate screws every 2000 rounds...according to both manuals I've got from them. I just picked up a VP9 MATCH so I'll be uploading my experience with the gun in my Armory Playlist ▶️
@@mobilegamersunite
Had one in hand at iwa. I'll check out your playlist. That with the screws stinks.
My all time favorite. I don't need more than eight rounds, I can aim....what about the other guy?....
Hey, any experience with BH 62 DP?
Hey man what’s your take on 115 Gr JHP’s for defense? I’m running 115’s because I can easily find 115 grain FMJ’s to train with. Should I be running something heavier?
The theory goes that the more important feature of the bullet is how well it dumps energy into the target.
So hollow points will be better than fmj, less likely to go through the target.
Most 9mm hollow points start at about 124 grains for some reason I don't know, but I'd say get some of those.
Shoot a few every couple.of weeks so they dont surpirse you(they can recoil differently), but use the 115s for mag after mag of practice.
That's my 2 cents.
@@leewilkinson6372 that makes sense thanks. I also just don’t wanna train with a different weight than I carry
@QTIP95 I understand completely. That said, I've found that learning to manipulate the weapon correctly is about 90% of the battle....which can be done with cheaper ammo.
I do shoot a couple of magazines of defense ammo on a regular basis though, as it does shoot just a bit differently, to reinforce your point as well. In fact, my hollow points are usually more accurate.
I carried a rifle for a living for long, long, long time. My father owns a gun store. My late wife was Army as well and then a RO in civ life. My wife now is a Navy vet. I also ran a firearm parts manufacturing business.
With all that I hated the M9, especially with 115 gr ball. Now I understand it’s 124. I had the option to carry a 1911 and did so. I then did so with a J frame back up. However I was a rifleman and a pistol is all ways a back up for that work and frankly if I’m using a pistol the S has hit the fan.
In civ life I carried the same and did so for more then a decade.
However I started loading 124gr JHP just under +P and hit a beautiful node. I carry that now and to the shock of everyone, a striker fired pistol.
My follow up shots are faster as it’s not snappy like a 115 gr, at least to me.
I could seriously shot a 1911 with ball way better and faster then a 226 or M9 with 115 so that’s what I used at work and in the US.
I still have the J frame but have some pet loads for that too.
I would rather someone shoot what they have well then worry about caliber. Heck my oldest son carries a 40, my father like me converted from .45 to 9mm.
With hand loading though you can taylor rounds to specific guns or people. Granted not everyone has the time, money, and a private range like I do. 4:47
I dig what your saying and Really curious where you got the crazy statements???....
Semper Fi
9:27 Yeah it's called point shooting re: Jeff Cooper, Massad Ayoob, etc etc. You SHOULD be able to do that just fine out to about 7 yards. And if you wanna stagger rounds, you can do so just fine in a revolver. You can mark the cartridges with dye (Dyekem, etc) so you have a visual indication through the rear cylinder gap of what the next round is.
Once again, Uncle Freedom is spot on and it's gonna hurt some butts!
So a little advice before someone posts a comment while butt hurt. Know why you believe what you believe and back it up with common sense, science and experience. Not because grandad always said so.
Any chance how that Chuck Pressburg video was called at 11:01?
The problem with most people talking about gunfights or duscussing it with others, there speaking on theory or other peoples encounters. If actual gunfighters would be talking, there iant many in that room as most would think.
3:00
250 grains ?
where is the data to support that ?
He is saying shoot twice/three times at least ( center mass). It's bro science. Based on kinda sorta studies with logic that equals close to truth.
@@dylan.-6527
hmmm ... so the tens of thousands of enemy killed with one shot, count for nothing.
i get it now.
not.
@@grayman7208 statistics, bro science. Of course that happens.
ROFLMAO, Good and hilarious at the same time. Can tell your from AL..
Makes my eye twitch: carrying/having weapons just increases your chances of having that weapon taken and used against you, only people with Le or military experience will be able to effectively use a weapon to defend themselves against a violent criminal.
I see you have the Radian, how reliable is it, have you ever had any problems with it?? Would love any info, thanks
Just got a ramjet and have shot about 800 rounds through it and not a single issue. Not a single malfunction and lock back everytime. I did go straight to a 15lb spring and didn’t even try a 18lb.
Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it, it seems like all the people I've asked have said the same, so again I appreciate the feedback Thanks.
Disabled with line of duty injury, but survived. Had 16 years in on the road, during that time I attended several officer involved shootings, suspect autopsies, so I developed an entire new view of ballistics after seeing what certain projectiles do to a human. 99.9% of gun channels are unwatchable due to ballistic tests and so many unrealistic beliefs.
"Rack the slide" fine motor skills and dexterity vanish. The one thing i can say is "you react how you train, drill, take it seriously, dont try to out group your buddy."
Amen to that. This month makes 5 years since my shooting as security guard working part time for medic school. You read and react it’s something you never be 100% prepared for. You’re literally forced to make like or death decisions in milliseconds. I was shot 6 times close range and survived I’m grateful the robbers could afford FMJ ammo.
Not everyone loses fine motor skills in high acuity situations. Some peoples actually improve. Thats one of the greatest lies ever told. 20 to 30% of people do better under pressure, its nothing you can change you are born without or you arent.
Time compression is so real, literally everything is slow motion. Kinda cool.
this guy is fuddlore battling fuddlore
Most cringe worthy statement by some people is that they say they need a plate carrier. Listen if you really want one go right ahead but take a moment and be realistic-you will never use it and if you did (as a civilian) it probably will not save your life.
50cal shockwave..... lol, congress came up with it
Question. What's your opinion on jacketed hollow point?
Like hollowpoint ammo? I have a bunch of videos on ammo did you have something specific you're looking at?
@unclefreedom213 I'm sorry about not answering you sooner. I was dumb and answered my own question. Thank you for relpying. I hope you had a good Memorial Day.
Active self protection has seen zero reloads in over 40000 videos. You almost certainly only have what's in your gun, and if that magazine malfunctions you are probably dead. You should have training magazines and separate defense magazines that you didn't use in training so they didn't get damaged by dropping them
So rely on unproven magazines. Got it.
@@thickseed your silly, obviously just like defense ammunition you have to verify function.
I hate when people get new guns and don't zero them, expecting it to be on point.
3 rounds or less unless you wear a badge.. then it requires a mag dump... or 2.
Probably the worst one I’ve heard was a guy working at a gun store told me that when you engage the safety on a Beretta 92 it will fire because the hammer drops
full facepalm
I know some decockers can malfunction on different handguns and fire after lots of decocking and dry fire to the quarter cock notch or when someone added after market stuff that needs adjustment and brains. But on a Beretta the pin is out of the way. There are still malfunctions. Saw a few run auto through mags.
I vivdly remember someone decocking 75BD on the shitter before reholstering and it got loud for a moment.
Fmj been putting ting down bad dudes for a long time. ................we have come a long way since the model a ford now lets act like it😊
Yep, white wash is real thing keep those lights off walls and mirrors. Good video.
The whole don't be switching systems a bunch, I have used an old 1911 and M&P with a thumb safety so disengagement and hand placement is auto for that. Due to grip angle on a Glock I used one on a drill and I missed at a distance of what I consider easy because I forgot to compensate for the different platform considerations.
Lights you can 100% go to bright, Rifle mounted light 2,000 lumens had it pointed at my ceiling in a semi-dark room and I saw spots and had momentary vision issues. Inside stuff I think 400-800 lumens is about right.
357 in 16" barrel does amazing things compared to a small revolver.
The myth that bugs me the most is in a SHTF having 10 mags and being super overt, In most situations there is going to be a much stronger force that you may not want to fight that would 100% strip that equipment off of someone. Lets say a hurricane hit and its really bad and violent crime is really bad, LEO trying to regain control see a dude in a building decked out who is not government, yeah they are going to have a chat with them.
here's an uncomfortable truth; there might come a time. In fact. Everytime you leave your safe confines. You have to accept the fact that you might not come back or might end up in a situation that will have a life-changing result or suffer a traumatic incident or have an experience that will change how you view others, or you may end up having to live with that experience for the rest of your life and now your life is so much different after the fact.
You leave "the wire" you might not come back. You might not come back in the same condition you were before. You might lose a good friend in the conflict, someone you care about, or your family and might bear witness to such morbid and disturbing actions or see something you dont wanna see ever and it will haunt you forever. Such as seeing your loved one take a round to the dome or get severely injured and suffer that injury. You might be faced with a hard decision between risking the life of your loved one or succeeding the mission. Or save one or the other.
You will see betrayal. You will see people's mental capacities cease rationality or reach a limit and breakdown. You will see failure, you will be sometimes be blamed for that failure. You will make a mistake that results in loss or death of someone on your team and now you have to explain to their family what happened and went wrong.
You will see other's make mistakes and might have to stand up and call accountability on them for not following the rules. You might end up having folks on your team become unwilling to heed your advice or any advice of others because they think they know better. You might have to kick some people off your team in order to ensure safety and success in your operations.
You will deal with politics, you will deal with drama and quarrels that might be against someone on your team, or against you. You will have to deal with sabotage, mutiny, and slander. And did I say Betrayal? yes that will happen alot. People will backstab you if it can benefit them.
The fewer gunfights you get into, the better.
this is my daily life. I'm a cop everyday is a coin toss so I don't leave home mad at my spouse, or upset with my kiddos.
I’ve heard the .50 cal could cause damage from the speed and mass moving through air before taking a T3 class. Listening to “The Reaper” Nick Irvine say this after learning it wasn’t true was cringe.

it is also a fact that a heavier bullet hits harder than a lighter bullet, and transfers more impact (blunt force trauma).
physics.
KE = (1/2)mv2
@@newscoulomb3705
yep,
i'm well aware of the formula.
but, irrelevant.
KE doesn't kill reliably, simply because it is variable.
mass is not a variable.
that's why 5.56 works up close, but not far away.
and to increase the lethality the military went from 55 grain to 72 grain.
to get better long range performance.
but a 500 grain slug from a 45-70 kills up close and far away equally well.
why?
not energy.
mass.
@@grayman7208 It's extremely relevant because your blanket statement isn't true. The correct answer is, "it depends." Additional mass without sufficient velocity does nothing, and additional velocity with additional mass requires higher pressures and results in more recoil. Trade offs.
Also, the mass of the bullet doesn't allow for greater energy at greater ranges; that has more to do with the ballistic coefficient. And the fact that heavier bullets are both bigger and traveling at slower velocities means that they are also often less accurate at longer ranges (more deflection and drop).
As for lethality, that has more to do with bullet composition and terminal ballistics. A 40 grain varmint round and 62 grain core lock are more lethal than a 72 grain FMJ.
So again... it all depends.

my "blanket statement is 100% true"
my statement, that you apparently did not read, or perhaps understand, was this.
"KE doesn't kill reliably, simply because it is variable.
mass is not a variable."
and that is 100% true.
"As for lethality, that has more to do with bullet composition and terminal ballistics. A 40 grain varmint round and 62 grain core lock are more lethal than a 72 grain FMJ"
that "blanket statement" isn't true.
a 72 grain fmj, through the brain is 100% lethal.
whereas a 40 grain varmint / 62 core lock in the foot is not.
"Additional mass without sufficient velocity does nothing,"
completely irrelevant to my statement ... we are talking about bullets being fired from a firearm.
so ... wanna bet ?
a 500 grain 45/70 bullet at 1000 fps vs a .40 grain 22 lr at 1000 fps ?
same velocity, a little more mass in one than the other.
so tell me ... which one does more than the other ?
@@grayman7208 Considering you edited your initial comment after I responded, you probably recognized that it wasn't fully accurate either. Yes, all things being equal, more mass is more better, but the point you missed is that adding more mass, by definition, makes things unequal.
Regardless, you are clearly more interested in being "right" than being "correct," so there's not much point in discussing this further.
I have a buddy that won’t carry with a loaded chamber,says he is just gonna rack the slide if he needs it. He went and got a new 365 with the plastic sig dot on it, he will carry it sometimes and has never shot it. I tried to tell him shooting with a dot on a pistol takes alot of practice and he should atleast dry fire. His other buddy was in the military and approves of all the crap he is doing and I’m just Joe Schmo what do i know?
The only people that believe this crap are the people who carry psa daggers with the magpul Glock mags because they made it through 50 rounds and “never had an issue”.
To the people that stagger rounds 1 hollow point then 1 fmj so on and so on, what are you going to do with that fmj round if you don’t want the penetration? You going to rack the slide and kick it out onto the ground every time? You going to pop the fmj into the dirt and get back on target? If you’re in a crowded area and an active shooter situation breaks out it’s gonna be bad.
Get a good pistol/holster,carry it hot, get a shot timer,take a class or watch a ton of informational videos on YT, dry fire once a week minimum,get a shot timer and shoot as much live ammo as you can with a purpose.
*Nick Irving (demo ranch buddy the “reaper” who was a military sniper) said that shit about 50cal blowing off you face from just passing by. I’d assume because the round would just pass through a person they see the hole in the wall and think they missed.
That he. carries it but never has shot it is sonwild to me. I won't even consider carrying a handgun until it's seem a minimum if 700 rounds or so and 1 to 200 has to be a defensive round

Can we please stop getting our ladies these tiny .380s or snubby 38s? I've noticed this trend in .45 guys. They wouldn't be caught dead with anything 9mm, but somehow believe 38 and 380 work more efficiently and effectively in the hands of a woman. I completely understand that my wife won't carry a full size Glock 17 like I do. That's why I bought her a 43x.
