Показать описание
Bill Quirk discusses the differences between defensive ammunition and training ammunition. Full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition is typically less expensive, reliable, and ideal for training purposes. Hollow points (HP) are typically more expensive, accurate, reliable, and ideal for defensive purposes due to the way it expands upon impact to cause damage. Watch now to learn everything you need to know about FMJ and HP ammo.

So, FMJ for training targets, JHP for bad guys. Roger that

I stockpile mostly fmj. Yes the hollow point does cause more damage.... But alot of people are under the impression that they won't do the job and stop the bad guy. That is not true at all. Also being able to punch through barriers can be a plus. Idk about everyone else but after I draw and fire once or twice im getting OFF THE X and looking for cover while continuing to fire. FMJ also feeds better. My primary mag is loaded w HP. My secondary mag is FMJ as I'm probably gonna be punching through barriers

Thank you! I took my safety course recently and my instructor covered this and now I'm just making sure I understood everything properly.

Thank you very much for this video. I realized that having a .357 Magnum FMJ at home in case the world goes crazy is a bad idea. There could always be an innocent person behind the crook.

Enjoy your straight forward approach. I would enjoy your thoughts/vlog regarding the COVID caliber collectors and what they should be practicing...really how they should focus. I am near 65 and not close physically, to what I used to did/do/done. Yet, I still go and toss rounds with a different speed and purpose.

Hollow points have their place and purpose but don’t deserve to be labeled the standard for defensive ammunition. If you want consistent performance and reliability regardless of distance, barriers, barrel length, ect.. fmj is still king. tissue damage does not equal lethality and ft/lbs mean absolutely nothing in a vacuum

Just purchased a SIG Sauer 9MM pistol. Thank you for the video and knowledge on the 9MM FMJ HST.

"rifle bullet fail to go through drywall"
I think you hit the nail on the head.

Great informative video! Couldn’t expect less from BDU. I do tons of ballistic gel testing with different loadings. (I’ll be uploading these videos at the start of next year). I’ve known several people to carry ball rounds and have converted a couple of those over to JHPs after I showed them my results. The ones I find that are stuck on carrying ball rounds are prior military because ‘if it worked over there it’ll work over here’. Aside from that; I always recommend Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, Winchester Ranger-T, and Hornady Critical Duty. In that order. These round are not only proven in labs but on the streets as well.

And just because those are the top performing rounds doesn’t mean they’re the best in each caliber. For example, my test on the federal HST showed me that it can’t handle the sheer speed of the .357 Sig. jacket separation in almost each testing(due to the non bonded bullet) which resulted in that round being taken off my preferred carry load list in that caliber. Same with the Non bonded Ranger T in .357 Sig. with that caliber, Gold Dot is the way to go. The hot loading. Not the reduced penetration loading the FAMS utilized.

I always remind people, just as you did today, to test your carry rounds in your carry firearm. What works in mine may not work in yours and vise versa.

LOL, "It is isn't about damaging the person or hurting the person". Yea it is, it's about maximizing damage to kill the person.

Thanks for the info. You could have been an expert witness in a certain high profile self-defense case that's ongoing where a lot was made about the difference between the two by the prosecution, and nobody really understood.

10/10, could not ask for a better video! Asking any more would be childish. This was perfect

Another good thing you could do to help with feeding issues it's polish your feed ramp to a fine finish. I do that to all my handguns and I never have an issue doesn't matter what brand of firearm it is I polish them all even if it comes factory polished I found countless hours re-polishing to make sure it has a smooth entry

Best explanation I’ve heard regarding hollow points and fmj. Thank you

Great video explaining the difference between FMJ rounds and HP rounds. Spot on with how different pistols chamber ball ammo and hollow tip ammo. You have to shoot each round through your weapon to see what works. Now, shooting targets at 25yds with a 9mm? That's 75ft. In a self defense scenario, we're talking more like 7yds or 21ft. Again, great video but if you're defeating a target at over 20ft in self defense, good luck in court. Just saying.

How wrong about FMJ rounds all NATO rounds are FMJ and have kill more than ANY other type of projectile shape. I prefer FMJ rounds as they will go through walls if needed without deforming unlike ANY JHP that will deform. Remember not all targets are standing in the open and a well placed bullet is way more important. For home defense especially in a dark house a shotgun with 00 Buck is still the best weapon ask any police or military person like myself. Hell, a 22 round is a very devastating round as it bounces around once inside the target. DO LOTS OF RESEARCH and ask tons of questions!
