Today we're on the range with our InvestArm Plains PIstol testing it's penetration and stopping power with some ballistic gel. In this test, we shoot this.54 caliber pistol several times into the ballistic gel block using GOEX 3F black powder. I try 4 different powder chargers in this test, 15, 20, 25, and 30 grains.

This video includes slow-motion footage of the groundball hitting the ballistic gel at 240 frames per second.
