Dude that 45 seemed a little juicy. Soon as you shot it i was thinking it was HOT even before you showed the split case.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It recoiled HARD. I shoot all these calibers all the time and there was way more recoil with that shot than with the .40, and usually they are about the same, within 5-10% felt recoil of one another. This one felt like 50% more than the .40. Still a quality control issue by Sig...
I wish you would have included the 10mm along side those for comparison.
@greg - Wish I had one
Without handling the case it's tough to be sure, but it looks to me like the damage to the case occurred when the slide slammed the case mouth - off center - into the breach face. When a case ruptures during firing, you'll see carbon around the split caused by burning propellant. I'll add that at .45 ACP pressures (under 21K PSI), case failure is rare...particularly with factory new cases.
Its obvious from your videos that the calibers really start to separate themselves beginning with the 9mm but in each of your videos, that 40 cal really seems to shine.
Yup, thanks for watching them.
Big .40 fan here. They never disappoint
Yep once you shoot all those calibers, you definitely know where the power is.
9mm fans are a strange lot. They'll insist it has better terminal performance. With similar construction, how can a bullet with less frontal area and less sectional density going the same speed do more damage?
Like the saying goes “ this 40 got a stiffler like it been watching porn”😈
I agree, although 40 S&W is mainly used as plinking ammo for my Glock 20, 10mm. Which is my favorite handgun cartridge of all time. Even the 45 ACP doesn't come close to it's default energy of 500 to 600 foor lbs of Energy, or 700 to 800+ foot lbs of it's loaded to it's true performance levels. I've even seen 10mm loads gets as high as 1,000+ foot lbs of Energy.
@@TheTGRproductions45 still better than 40 dose more damage
Is it bad that when I clicked on this video that I assumed it would be live chickens? 😂
So you complained about meat prices but not ammo, I love it, thanks a lot.
Already have the ammo...
@BuckeyeBallistics I'm loving this series of demos. It's Sooooo incredibly helpful. I also watched your review you suggested on the Ruger .380 you mentioned in a reply a couple days ago and added it to the running for purchase.
Welcome back 😁
HUGE .40 s&w fan here!
Same finally someone understands me
People can bitch all about .40 cal but it's still one of the best semi auto cartridge. It's more powerful than both 9mm and 45 acp. It's a true 10 mm short as it supposed to be.
Your case did not rupture. It got crushed by the slide when the slide closed on it. It failed to eject because you did not have the magazine in. The follower or next round in the magazine assists upward/right side ejection. More extractor tension will help with more positive ejection when no mag is in. It's a problem I fix on lots of 1911's. Also it would be nice if you could barrow a 9mm with 4-5" barrel so it matches closer with your 40-45. 3" 9mm can be 100fps slower than 4.5" barrels.
Thanks for the info- I was wondering if it was because I removed the mag, but then I reasoned that other guns fire without a mag inserted no issue. But if it is a 1911 thing then I guess that makes sense. I was however discussing with another viewer that that particular shot had a lot of recoil, more than normal. So maybe an out of spec extra spicy factory load in conjunction with the mag being released didn't help matters. I only removed the mag because I didn't want it chambering the next round...
That's exactly what happened brother
huh, learned something new today. You can stovepipe a 1911 by not having the mag loaded to assist with the ejection.
First I've ever seen that.
People seem to have forgotten or have ignored that some calibers hit more powerfully than others and have only concentrated on penetration. Hunters will tell you game does react differently to more powerful bullets. Therefore so should people, hence use the 40S&W or the .45acp as it will hurt more than the .380 or 9mm.
Yeah I never understood the people who focus on penetration. For self defense against human agressors, as long as it's over 12" in the gel blocks then after that ideally you want the largest wound cavity possible. 9mm, .40, and .45 all have zero problems penetrating well beyond 12" with pretty much all standard weight fully expanded hollow points- .40 & .45 obviously tend to leave larger diameter wound cavities. That said, I carry 9mm for size/capacity/recoil so I'm not dogging anyone who doesn't carry .40 or .45...
It's that what you believe idiot how's many times you been shot
That was for North shore
100 percent fact. Great comment and only the truth. I have hunted deer for 43 years. Took a lot of deer with a 30-30. But when I went to the 30-06 , the dear dropped lots faster.Same thing for pistols. I am a forever 40 fan. God Bless. 🙂🙏🇺🇸👍
@@BuckeyeBallisticsi think that penetration became the issue because the fbi made it the issue after the 9mm so called failure in the Miami shooting. A 9mm round went through the arm into the chest of the perp stoped just short of the heart. The fbi for some reason became the go to on bullet performance for le agencies then it went over to the defense market.
But what I have always thought was bs is the winchesters silver tip hp 9mm was chosen because of its low chance of over penetration.
Thank of the bs it takes to blame the round for lack of penetration when the round was picked because of shallow penetration in the first place
Its been so long but I think it was a 115gr bullet. ( btw 115gr usto be the normal weight not a light weight)
Nice ,I'm a 45. Guy but I do love the S&W 40.
Excellent comparison test. One of the very few that actually used standard weight bullets per caliber, making this a meaningful test. Most others attempt to use as close as possible to same weight projectiles in each caliber, which makes the comparison meaningless. Great work.
Alot of folks do throw off on .40 and I don't understand, it's a great round.
It's a really good round it's more powerful than the 9mmm but it's not as powerful as a 45-plus tr45 Soopers you're only going to get 588 foot pounds out of the most powerful 40 cal you get 750i the most powerful 45 super but I do like the 40-caliber a lot I have a Beretta and about a thousand rounds of jacketed hollow-points so yeah I like the 40-caliber a lot but 600 foot pounds is definitely nothing to sneeze at
I've never thrown up on .40!
@@GregAlcornyou’re wrong and I have proof and know exactly what ammo you refer to :) the Underwood 135 gr. It’s tested from a 3.4” barrel bud.

I love shooting it in Glock 23. It hits 610 fpe in the Glock 23. Also you compared it to .45 super, that’s not normal .45 acp.
I’m very proud of you New front sight, all matching, ammunition!
I have some Fed 45 and 9mm HST that I’ve always been a fan of during the big ammo shortage. I carried a CZ P-10C for a bit and shot a big 5 gallon water jug and the jacket came off almost every bullet. I switched to my Glock 30 for a bit and did the same test and those jackets separated from the bullets too. I’m using some recent bought 147 grain HST and need to test them out of the FN Reflex to see if it’s back to the old HST I remember. I think QC was letting more pass because of the supply and demand at that time.
I've done some expansion testing using Sig V-crown ammo in my Glock 22 and Glock 27 .40s shooting through gallon milk jugs filled with water lined up in front of each other...the results were fantastic mushrooms! Thanks for making this video brother!
Check out my gel tests on them
@@BuckeyeBallistics just watched! Good stuff!
wow on the .40
BTW thanks for the test and spending the money for the meat. It's much more realistic than clear ballistics gel. .40 fan also but I shoot a 9mm due to age now, tendonitis and cost. Carried one for 20 years.
I do knox gel tests as well, which I think are more realistic than the clear gel...
Just observable impact the 9mm looked to be the most dynamic. But the actual results tell a bit different story. All 3 big boys are good for defense against chickens. Lol. Thank you sir.
I think that was the result of 9mm having the highest velocity
@@BuckeyeBallistics Agreed.
Your videos have really made me rethink a 380 for self defense
He used a much shorter length barrel on the 380 than any other handgun
@@snuffytheseal3891 true, but almost all 380s for CCW are short barrel. Mine is short barrel
@@megamilyon6111 yea but the other calibers also have shorter barrel options. And there is longer 380s
Love my M&P. 40, therefore I love your channel. Keep up the good work my man! You could add 10mm to the mix but it's basically just .40S&W on steroids lol. I've actually seen tests where .40cal does better than 10mm believe it or not.
Yeah I've noticed a lot of 10mm loads aren't but 50fps faster with the same bullet weight, so you really have to pay attention to what you buy if you want that true 10mm power. I'm getting one for the channel soon...
Love my .40
Ballistics don't lie.
People hate on the 40 but don't realize it's potential. 155 gr Winchester silver tip booking it at 1200 fps the energy produced is right at 500
Most people that say terrible things about the 40 S&W are in love with some other cartridge or dont understand ballistics. Isn't it funny how if you put he same bullet in a 10mm case and add 50-150 its then perfectly adequate for grizzly bear protection. HA HA
@frank - Very good point!
That's great and all but my 357 sig will do that with cheap target ammo
@@mattjessie3576 yeah but 357 sig isn't practical and it's a fan boy round
Love seeing these vids!
same
Glad you guys like them!
Great video. I don't know if it makes a difference but I noticed on some guns you pulled the magazine out after loading and on some, you didn't. On the .45 you pulled the magazine out after loading the round. I have always assumed that the magazine (and follower) aided in at least the direction of the ejection if not the strength of ejection. Could that have caused the stovepipe after the burst case? Also, most stovepipes in my experience are usually from the upward recoil of the firearm (limp-wristing). As mentioned by other commenters could the round have been way too hot and thus more upward recoil?
Excellent video tonight buddy!
Thanks BBQ!
I'm a .40 fan too. Enjoyed your video. We use chickens in our crabpots here in SE Virginia. Do an ammo test, stick em' in the crab pot. lol Currently, my carry round is the Underwood 155 grain. Haven't put it on the chronograph, but manufacture says it's 1300 FPS. I feel good with 14 rounds of those.
That's a load I would like to test one day
Love Underwood .40 155 grain hp, it is the same load I use. Underwood has been tested time and time again to meet and exceed expected velocities. Additionally the only 10mm ammo I trust to perform like a real 10mm load is from underwood and secondly buff bore.
Underwood tests the 135 grain Nosler out of a 3.4” so it may be more powerful than you think. This round is rated by them at 588 foot pounds but its 675 from a 4.9” barrel and this guy got 589 (1 fpe above rated) from a 3.4” barrel

I love shooting it in Glock 23. It hits 610 fpe in the Glock 23. 😊
Would love if you opened up the 22 and 380 just to check to see the damage. Good video thanks for posting👍🏻
Love you caliber nuts. The exit wounds from the 9mm, 40 cal, and the 45 were almost the same. I love hearing how my 40 had an exit wound a millimeter wider than the 9. I own all 5 calibers shot on this video and will put anything down first shot. Not trying to be ugly but it's like i carry a cannon compared to all other calibers. Just funny hearing it.
lol I always get a laugh out of the people who think 40 and 45 are some kind of wonder caliber that can decimate anything in its path. Shot placement is what matters. 9, 40, 45 are all gonna do about the same amount of damage and there are trauma doctors who've stated that they couldn't tell a difference between those three calibers from gunshot wounds. I know that'll hurt some of their feelings but the facts are the facts.
@deviantarsenal you have all the answers
@@M60gunner1971 I sure do, ask me anything.
Wouldn’t know the price. Mines are all colt and beretta, but I love your video. And remember everyone. This are not weapons. This are just GUNS.
Nothing wrong with using the 115's, very common and tried & true 9mm caliber 👍 balanced test aside, im kinda glad you used it as opposed to a 124 🎉
And its not just the bullet weight. The difference in loads makes a big difference in 9mm look at the old federal highway patrol load 115gr +p+ 9lble I think. Its a really hot high speed 9mm load. That was a common law enforcement load back in the day.
I still like it and the 124gr +p+ federal hydr schok loads. That if I am ccw a 9mm that can handle the +p+ one of these is what I carry
the 115 has been the standard for over a hundred years.
Cool test
Cool video. Brother gun Dungeon been doing some chicken videos also for awhile. Check are not cheap. 40s&w is my go to. But do got 380acp also.
Found his channel a few weeks ago. I did this chicken stuff back in the day almost 10 years ago with rimfire originally.
i love the .40 s&w, it is my favorite and ideal cartridge caliber, but 180gr was always too heavy for the .40 s&w, great for the 10mm auto though, between 135gr minimum and 165gr maximum parameters is best, with 155gr/150gr bullet weight being ideal for the .40 s&w!
9mm = not enough🤏
10mm = too much💪
.40 s&w = just right👌
9mm not enough?? Not enough for what ?? Brown bear?? Moose?? Elephant?? Lol.. for self defense it's more than adequate
Get a 10mm gun. You can reliably cycle .40s&w in most of them. Then, when you need more penetration, switch to the heavy ammo.
This review is very kool. The 22lr was very deadly as well.
Thanks
40 short and weak is nothing to sneeze at. I still love my 10mm but there are a lot of shortcomings with the 10mm market. 40 upgrades and accessories are everywhere.
Love your chanel great work.
Thank you!
those poor chickens never stood a chance
that front sight fixed for the 1911 was so nice to hear, been bugging the OCD every video 🙃
that juice blow-back, salmonella, chickens using bio-weapons in response
I did wonder if I was breathing the mist in after the 12 gauge lol
.40S&W does not have a +p loading recognized by SAAMI, 45acp does. In my experience a 185 grain 45acp +P has more energy than .40S&W
45 has more ass behind it than just about any .40
I like the 40 also
Always liked the 40sw. Makes ya pay attention when you shoot em.
So does concentrating. Lol
That case rupture looked very strange, glad it wasn't anything worse. I would pull that barrel and check some rounds doing the plunk test. Maybe a have a gunsmith look it over for you. I know SIG and Hornady both have disclaimers on their defensive cup and core ammo, since we are still under Chinas "slow shipping crisis" supposedly due to the "covid." Even today, still, at 5/19/2023, Its a ludicrous excuse/reason in my mind. SIG and Hornady have these disclaimers that, they will be using uncoated brass until they can get back to nickel plating as fast as needed for production. (or something close to that) Its probably a 24 hr turnaround normally Even these large US ammo companies send their brass out to be nickel plated, and its at least a 4 week turnaround, and they cannot have that. Which I completely understand. Nickel is not arriving fast enough or in enough quantity from suppliers (probably Chinese suppliers) Most of these major manufacturers of ammo, make their own cases, and projectiles, like S&B, Fiocchi, LaPua, Remington, Winchester, Hornady, Federal Premium , etc I am not sure about Sig I believe they get at least some cases from Starline brass. Many of the rest are buying from the large brass and projectile companies and making their ammo. CCI is another I am not sure about, but I would think they make their own, brass and projectiles, especially since they do manufacture primers. I have no concrete knowledge tho. Maybe someone else does.
I’ve been subscribed to you for years, and I clicked on your logo and it said subscribe. Well i subed again. You may want to tell people to check that. I’ve seen other tubers having Trouble with this.Rock on bro!
Thanks for the heads up, I'll probably post something about it and try to remember to mention it in the next few videos I record. Appreciate you!
Good stuff!!! -Gunny T sends
Now i know what caliber to use in case of a chicken invasion
i have 2-9mm and 3- 40 cal i will take the 40 all day after my own comparison, nice videos thanks
The .22lr, the 'face ammo', is especially surprising in its power. Wow!
Nobody hating on .40. I'm a 9 guy but due to circumstantial location concealment and capacity is my focus. Don't get me wrong, if I knew 20 yrs ago what I know now, that 40 would be my caliber. Stopping power plus better capacity than 45.
You haven't watched my channel long enough lol, people always doggin .40S&W.
I will always be a 40 fan no doubt about it
Great video ❕ wish you added 10mm and 12ga to this list 👀
Shotguns are next, still need to get a 10mm
great video!
Thanks!
115 grains pretty standard for 9 mm that's why that's all you could find because it's the most common 9 mm Full Metal Jacket ball ammo
115 gr in 9mm used to be the standard for that caliber and in many loadings is a very potent round as we see in this chicken test. I doubt the 380 load expanded. The 40 & 45 made some nice holes. These chickens stayed clean enough to still eat. Chicken dinner anyone?
what is the standard gr for 9mm now?
@@ndedmylife 124gr or 147gr.
@frank - I'm with you on that, because it did less than the .22 lol. We'll see what it does in the gel test, but it definately didn't expand in the chicken.
The 380 Critical Defense expands reliably from barrels less than 4" long. The only .22 LRs which expand from handguns are the Stingers and Yellow Jackets.
@adrian - My gel tests beg to differ with you on that
Im a 40cal DIEHARD/FANBOY & Always will be even if IM THE ONLY ONE LEFT!!!! it's a MAN'S CALIBER
I'd like to see the test repeated with
9mm - 124
40 - 165
45 - 185
The 40 really separates itself with 135-165 grain loadings .. especially when loaded to full power like underwood and buffalo bore does.
My 40 sw carry load is a 165 grain critical defense. From my 3.3. " xds mod 2, these things get 1120 ish fps and they are absolutely nasty
I might do that at some point, same with some super light and fast stuff like Extreme Defenders or Civil Defense. Watch em really blow up!

It would be interesting to see how the revolvers would do in comparison, such as 38 sp. 357 and the mighty 44 mag.
I agree- am working on adding those to the collection.
Seems like they all did good.
Hey Nelson
Sig ammo jamming in a defensive gun sends me back to Winchester, Remington green nox, and Hornady.
I just want to say. I like the way this guy says "Chicken"
I'm curious as to why you removed the mags on some after chambering a round...
Most of the mags were loaded and I didn't want them chambering another round into each gun.
I think you just winged one of them🤣
Good video
Now in the FBI chicken tests they put it through 4 layers of denim (little chicken jeans).
I do that in my gel tests 😉👍
Haven’t seen a survivor from the .40 shootings I’m familiar with.
I have a friend who raises chickens. He uses a pellet pistol to kill them. Claims there is less meat wasted that way. I thought the 300 Winnie Mag was supposed to be the superior caliber. Anything hit with it stays down and won't run off. Thanks for the vid.
I took my rooster out last month with a pellet to the head because I can't use a real gun due to being surrounded by neighbors.
They'll be some happy dogs in your neighborhood 😅. Great test, and i agree its hard to beat 40
Probably raccoons and oppossums lol
@@BuckeyeBallistics I've been feeding possum every night for the last 15yr with my cats food😅
Well, I've been shot with a .32 and a .45 from about the same distance and either one was any worse than the other. Been shot with a BB gun too trust me you dont wanna be hit with any caliber
Nice
Atomic Defense 185 grain .45 +p annihilates any 40 cal ammo. 616 ft lbs of energy. That's firmly in 10mm range
I pretty much agree with you there. Everyone always tests 230 grain .45 acp even though the 185 grain has long been considered the ideal bullet weight for that caliber. Same with 40 cal, I rarely see anyone test bullets lighter than the 180, when the 155-165 grain hits way harder with nearly the same penetration.
What was the problem with your front sight on your Ruger 1911?
It broke randomly while firing, like sheared off right under the dot.
I remember reading about someone else had theirs to snap off, i think they said Ruger sent them a new sight. I believe the problem was on the early production models.
Yeah mine is earlier production, and Ruger also sent me a replacement very quickly once I remembered to call. What was funny though was the lady said she never heard of it happening before (I didn't believe her).
.40 stopping power
Nice visual
Great test. I personally think it would have been better if you shot them without the wrappers on. But I understand considering you're wanting to eat the good meat!
I tried that before and the checkens just want to go limp and not sit up properly. Also the legs and arms fall away from the body and just nothing is compact. It much better represents hitting a live body by keeping everything tightly wrapped with all the juices in it and no air inside anywhere.
It looked to me like the 45 made a larger exit in slow motion
I gel tested those V-Crown in 9mm/40/45, and with those they were one of the few where the .45 performed better than .40. Long large tearing wound all the way through the block. Excellent load for the .45!
@@BuckeyeBallisticsthank you for the video. It's always interesting to see these. I'm just not 100% comfortable with a 9mm for self defense. What's your honest overall opinion?
9mm does a pretty good job with the right load. I watch a ton of police shootouts, and 90% of them or better are carrying 9mm and it almost always does the job. I've seen a ton of them where one shot stops the badguy who is shooting back, and in over half of those they die even though the cops immediately start rendering aid and call medics. Usually if they stop from one shot it's because it hit a vital organ- one expanded 9mm hollow point to the lung or heart and you are done. As always said, shot placement is key, not caliber. The ones that survive always survive because they missed the vitals.
As you can see in this video, 9mm does at least 90% of what a .40 and .45 does. I carry 9mm for the compact size, lower recoil and thus faster follow up shots/accuracy- and the higher capacity. I'm actually about to switch over to .30 Super Carry for even higher capacity when I get my Shield Plus here soon. 9mm has plent of power, just use good ammo. I have a 9mm gel test playlist on the channel with all my tests thus far...
@@BuckeyeBallistics I really appreciate the follow up information! I bought a G26 for my wife, a STK100 for myself, and I just bought a G17 today. I will check the gel test video out as well and research the best ammo for self defense. I wondered about the 30 super carry. I almost bought one. I might still do that.
I carry Sig Sauer Elite and, I think it's Winchester Silver Tips..something like that. I hope I never have to find out if they work on a person man. We do have Elk, Bears, Coyotes, Panthers, bobcats, you name it...When we go walking on the mountain, we take pistols, bear spray, and my self defense 12 gauge. Thanks again for the help
No problem, my pleasure. I try to always respond to everyone who isn't a jerk lol.

Nice test. I just rather 10mm over 40

For self defense, would you say 9mm is cheaper than a .40 or .45?
Yes
.45 acp anti cow projectile
People don't care for the .40 S&W because it's a compromise between 9.. & 45acp. 9 you get more rounds and 45 has more power. It's the ultimate round for someone who is undecided
"I got juiced"
-someones daughter after prom
😁
.40 s&w is my favorite and ideal cartridge caliber, but 180gr was always too heavy for the .40 s&w, great for the 10mm auto though, between 135gr minimum and 165gr maximum parameters is best, with 155gr/150gr bullet weight being ideal.
9mm = not enough🤏
10mm = too much💪
.40 s&w = just right👌

Depends on who you ask but I agree with everything you said except .357 sig. But I carry 9mm for size, quiker follow up shots, and higher capacity. .380 in my pocket for backup...
@@BuckeyeBallistics I have a .380 lcp and a 9mm apx looking to get either a compact 9mm or .40 and do the same as you

@johns - Would be interesting to see what those would do to the chicken lol. I have put them into gel before in different calibers...
The poor chicken has no chance😅
What is normal for .40? I think 180 is pretty average for .40. but jes 124 would be the best for 9mm. If you coudn't get 124 for the 9 mill than what are you carrying?
you could go with the browning 147s if not any brands 115g JHPs are always a safe bet as well.
.40 s&w is my favorite and ideal cartridge caliber, but 180gr was always too heavy for the .40 s&w, great for the 10mm auto though, between 135gr minimum and 165gr maximum parameters is best, with 155gr/150gr bullet weight being ideal.
9mm = not enough🤏
10mm = too much💪
.40 s&w = just right👌
.45 acp = too big & heavy and not enough speed and power🐘🐢🦥🦨🐗🐂🐖🦕
.357 sig = too small & light and too much speed and power🐁🐆🐿️🐎🦏🦍🐍🦖
@@ethanmac639 in my opinion a .40 could be a 10 mm If we wanted it to.
@mario - I would say 165gr is mid weight for .40, usually I see 165 & 180's on the shelf, occasionally 155 which is also one of the "common" weights.
@@BuckeyeBallistics Pretty much. I used to carry Cor-Bon's 135gr load in my Glock 23 back in the day. Now I keep Liberty's 60gr HPs in it with Barnes 140gr Tac-XPD in the spare mag.
1:59 When i saw your some video,the 180 grain vs 230grain is comparable ammo 40 vs 45 acp,the 180 grain vs 230grain plus P by 45 acp are more power than 40 sw the 185 grain of 45acp are more power than 180grain 40 sw,also plus P 200grain are more power than 180grain 40sw,if you load 155grain 40sw vs 185grain 45acp maybe this is comparable,the light weight of 40 sw are comparable to the light weight ammo plus P of 45acp 1:59
Please note: No chickens were harmed in this video.....
.357 sig has entered the chat
10mm...
@@BuckeyeBallistics Touche
That 12ga looks interesting. Time to go shootin!!
.40sw best weight is 155 grain
My old 1911 would jam without a mag in it
If a 1911 jams without a mag the extractor needs to be tuned.Pop the extractor out and fix it. Better yet replace it with a Wilson bullet proof extractor.
@david - I had wondered if that's why it happened, but still doesn't really explain the shredded brass.
That is a sign of a broken 1911 ! 😄
40 has a speed of 9mm and stopping power of 45 sweetspot

Almost complete. Just needed 10mm 😉.
I'm getting one soon 😭
Long long time ago my agency went from 38 to the glock 40 cal. Awesome round, definitely gets the job done. Many small hand weak wrists now having all agencies return to the 9mm claiming that now the 9mm bullets are so great out performs all other pistol calibers. BS hiring weak donkeys. Good video
Properly loaded 9 over everything but for 40/45/10s Glock/M&P only 🙅🏾♂️,Only two you’ll ever need G23(9 swap)/G20🏕🐻(45/.40 uppers)plus most 40s are always on sale 🏷, 9s Better overall lighter/more capacity🎒far as stopping power goes period💥🍆💥🧠don’t matter if it’s an airsoft bb 🤣,keep HST in the factory’s, Critical🐝/JSP😴/FMJ/+🪵in coded situational Extds💨🚪🚘🐗
Chicken that will not come home to roost
40 is supposed to have a bit more muzzle energy
Correct
