The real world isn't going to have the same barriers of the same thickness within the same conditions as those tested.
In the video you posted earlier, the gentleman doesn’t even know what type of metal the HST’s jacket is made of (its not brass), and he shoots a G26 with a G17 barrel. He doesn’t even bother to remark on any measurements of the wound cavity or penetration depth. He does not mention calibration, percentage, or temperature of the gelatin he has “formulated”. And he fires ONE round, in a medium that cannot be duplicated for comparison. I feel his credibility is questionable.
There is a difference in shooting something for funsies, and shooting to collect data. This gentleman does not seem to know that, and has merely produced an anecdote. A very silly anecdote.
Am I to assume you are going to find out how the Hydra Shok Deep performs in the same “test”?
