    The only problem of TUI is that sometimes it doesn't tumble, but when it does it seems very efficient. I like them.

    Tools, I think the takeaway from these videos is that .380 is simply a marginal performer in the very best of circumstances. People keep trying to make it into something that it’s not, and ammo companies are happy to play along.
    Also: thanks for dropping that Paulism at the end of the video.

    Good test, no surprises. Many years ago, an acquaintance used a PPK .380 to defend herself from an abusive husband, very abusive. FMJ's, 6 rounds, six through and through. He still dang near got her before enough blood loss for him to collapse. It showed me the relative ineffectiveness of FMJ in .380. All those hits were torso hits, 12 holes. Sure, eventually they worked, but not quickly. The new designed bullets with the fluted noses are the way to go if you use anything with a less than 3.5" barrel. You've shown us proof of concept in that. Just so you know, FMJ is just a hole punch, particularly in the shorter barrels. If it makes the perps run when hit, it's better than a prolonged conflict, but fooling yourself into thinking it's a one shot stopper in the torso might give you a worse day.

    • @usernamesrlamo
      @usernamesrlamo หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Study after study shows .380 has basically as much one stop incapacitation, fatality rates and average number of rounds fired as 9mm and 45acp. It always comes down to shot placement more than caliber. And perhaps that is why .380 is on par, because good shot placement is easier.

    That temporary cavity, known as stretch cavity, does not completely represent the human body. However, it does reflect how the round can disrupt the organs with shock energy.
    In the Army, I saw people hit with a .50cal
    One I saw was a direct hit in the belly-button area at about 100 meters, and it severed the torso from the waist, nearly completely (It basically exploded the target).
    I saw the same round impact in a lower arm, and it severed it. In the shoulder, it totally incapacitated the target, but did not separate any parts.
    The round in the belly that severed the torso, was due to that temporary stretch you are seeing. The gel gives an idea, but it has a lot less stretch resistance than the human body does. However, when you put enough energy into the soft tissue, it will certainly have a severe and catastrophic result.
    The lesson learned then was, - when you needed the target down for sure, send a round from the Ma-Deuce.

    • @buzsalmon
      @buzsalmon หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @44Mag I was thinking about the initial shock and disruption in gel compared to the human body.
      Agreed, too bad good guys don't carry around an M2. That's the same concept to me, at least for carrying the 45acp rather than the 32acp

    A depth of 17.5" is within the 12" - 18" acceptable window for typical defensive purposes. Thanks for measuring the length of these TUI and comparing them to the FMJ since that is relevant with a bullet that is designed to tumble. It was also nice that you fired more than one of these TUI into the gel to see if they are consistent. These TUI do seem weak. Though appear to be a better choice than FMJ.

Case in point, when I worked investigations, most of the time, rounds stayed in the body including FMJ from 9mm and .380. One guy was shot in the eye (literally), and fell on the 9mm casing. The round did not exit his head or cause any deformation. One guy was shot in the throat with a .380. The bullet broke and lodged in his spinal cord. Honestly, one is better off to carry a .40 or larger, but the .380 and 9mm certainly will “work.”

    I was always under the impression that gel test show what happens to the bullet not what the bullet does to the gel .. lol but who knows ..like its a decent way to see how a bullet might react to hitting someone .. but idno its interesting either way lol

      It's definitely best used to compare round performance against others. It's gonna give you a general idea of what to expect as far as penetration and energy transfer, but guts are gonna behave differently when it comes to the "disruption."

      You're correct. Gel tests measure projectile expansion and penetration. Examining the wound track is like reading tea leaves.

    This TUI isn't reliable. I've got HST 99 grain in my BG 2.0. When they're gone, then Winchester FP FMJ. Good test, Tools. You save folks their hard earned money. 😎👍🇺🇸

    • @ToolsandTargets

      The Winchester flat point fmj is what I would use for fmj. I almost used that for this test but figured the round was a closer match to the TUI.

    One reason we respect you is because you do tests even when you're sure they're going to be a failure. Even fps was about 20 to 30 less than expected. I'll stick with Honey Badger , Underwood or HST or Defiant. Appreciate your time. 🙏👍

    Very interesting video, TNT. Thanks for putting in the work. Unfortunately, it seems the debate will continue as to what to run in a .380. Unless you can run Gold Dots, (my personal opinion). I bought the Bodyguard 2.0, probably because I am a little bit of a sucker. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great, and as they say, that dog will hunt. But, with options like Shield Plus, Sig 365, 43x, Hellcat and so on, I can’t figure out why I would ever carry the 2.0 over them. So, in practical terms, for me the best 380 round is a 124 grain 9mm Gold Dot. Know what I mean?

    tui succeeded in performance and i believe it would cause more damage. also take note of the different length of projectile, can also make a bigger tumble. choosing it over other ammo would be arguable.

    FMJ is the most durable affordable reliable best penetration in anything. Perfect for the .380. Lead is my favorite. 200 gr out of a 38SW is gonna make a dent in something. Rambling sorry. Thanks for the show.

    I don't know, Tools. That kind of penetration seems pretty solid. The TUI temporary pressure cavity seems... substantial. Maybe this is a pretty good little self defense round even from a short-barreled .380?

    The fact that it has the same bullet weight and velocity as the normal fmj shows that it have to tumble more than the regular with more penetration.I would at least prefer it over regular fmj. 17 inches is no over penetration. I think its a good option but expensive. Than I would rather take some of these philips screw driver solids. They do tumble also (high speed camera) and because of the shape causing more tissue damage.

    380 is really an undersung hero for defense, but that TUI really isn't worth that price. There are finally a couple of decent 380 acp hollow points now and they are pretty cheap. Thanks for the test.
