Everybody Is Scared Of The Wrong Bullet

About this video

Colion analyzes slow-motion footage of different calibers impacting concrete blocks to challenge common misconceptions about bullet stopping power. He argues that popular handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are far less devastating than people believe, while larger rifle calibers like .308—often found in traditional hunting rifles—demonstrate significantly more destructive force. Colion suggests the media and public often fear the wrong firearms based on appearance rather than actual ballistic performance.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that handgun rounds (9mm, .45 ACP) are not the dramatic fight-stoppers many believe them to be, showing similar modest performance on concrete
• According to Colion, the .223 round (commonly used in AR-style rifles) performs comparably to handgun rounds on concrete, despite media portrayal of it as uniquely destructive
• Colion teaches that larger calibers like .308, 12-gauge slugs, and .50 BMG demonstrate significantly more stopping power, yet often reside in firearms the public considers less threatening
