For this test, we used 10% FBI Clear Gel created by Clear Ballistics. For the first test, we used a Kriss Vector Rifle in 45 ACP. For the second test, we used a Kel Tec Sub 2000 in 9mm. We’re overall very impressed with how the tests turned out. We hope the world realizes the potential that pistol caliber carbines can yield. Our Ultra-Light 9mm temporary cavity diameter matched 223 self-defense rounds. Our Civil Defense 45 ACP temporary cavity diameter matched the top 300 blackout rounds.
