Gordo-BoomI answer the age old question of how many 9mm bullets does it take to cut a 2x4 in half. I'm shooting 147gr 9mm rounds out of my CZ-85 Combat.
Note: I found out after I had edited this video together that the rear sight on my CZ was actually broken. It broke in half when I went to clean the gun. I wondered at my appalling accuracy, I guess I know why now.

Testing includes: Patterning of the shotshell at 15 feet Penetration of 1/2" thick dry wall at 15 feet Shooting a watermelon because we kind of have to, it's tradition.
This video was cursed to shoot. I shot this video 5 different times and there was always some problem or another. Either camera problems that caused footage to get lost, random wind noise, repeated jams from the old gun (some made it in the video anyway). It was just one thing after another trying to get this video done. The tests were a lot of fun to do so it's not all lost. The footage I ended up using was the best I could get from multiple shoots but does lack some shots I would prefer, like closely comparing the targets at each ranges up close, but the information should all still be there from the target cams.

Lots of fun to shoot but I think the heat and sun baked my brain because I forgot to show close ups of the melon carnage. I think the video shaking at the end was due to my camera starting to overheat. It was really hot that day.
