Hey guys welcome back to Gun Runnerz. I'm Joey. Today we have our ballistics gel our
Smith and Wesson Model 640 snub nose five shot revolver and we have some RBCD rounds
just like you guys requested. We're going to be doing some ballistics testing here,
so let's see how these things do. This 357 magnum round is a RBCD Performance Plus total
fragmenting soft point. It is a 60 grain bullet that travels at 1975 feet per second delivering
520 foot pounds of force. It has not been well received by the gun community yet due
to lack of testing but it is designed for maximum energy transfer and controlled expansion.
Alright the weapon we're going to be shooting today is a Smith and Wesson Model 640 snub
nose five shot revolver. It's chambered to shoot a 357 magnum. Okay guys our stand off
distance is going to be about a foot. This is a lot closer than most of the shots we
take but the idea is that my Dad carried this on his ankle for most of his career. He was
going to use it if someone was on top of him and he needed to pump a few into his chest.
Just like snub noses we're going to take a really close shot today. Our ballistics gel
is a little bit less than clear today because we just filmed our other video with melee
weapons and if you'd like to see Matt totally destroy this thing with a sledgehammer go
check out that video. It will be in the description. Alright let's take a shot. Alright so that
shot placement was a little low so we're going to do it again. Let's see if we can get it
a little bit higher this time. After Matt and I analyzed the ballistics block we were
really surprised at the performance of this ammunition. We expected it to have minimal
penetration and maximum expansion, but it had neither of that. The rounds performed
more like a *** hollow point than anything else. The first shot came in low but was level.
At the two inch mark it dove down into the table, hitting it at the five inch mark. Then
it ricocheted back up losing its jacket at the fourteen inch mark the majority of the
bullet exited the back of the block and over penetrating. The second round had good shot
placement. It came in and at the four inch mark it pedaled like a hollow point and did
one full rotation. Then it started fragmenting and most of the fragments left the block and
over penetrated once again. We were really disappointed by this. We expected it to be
the God-sent ammo that RBCD claims it is. For the price point we wouldn't recommend
it. It's inconsistent, it's fifty dollars for twenty rounds if you can find it, and
it would really make out to be a *** defensive ammo. We have a 9mm RBCD that we expect to
perform at a much higher caliber, so if you want to see that make sure you comment below.
