This video analyzes the Controlled Chaos version 3 bullet for the 300 Blackout cartridge. The description details the bullet's innovative two-part design, where the front section fragments into petals upon impact to create a large wound cavity, while the rear section maintains integrity for deep penetration. It also highlights design enhancements, including increased base weight and precise ogive diameter adjustments, aimed at improving accuracy and terminal ballistics. Performance metrics like ballistic coefficient, test barrel length, muzzle energy, and velocity at 100 yards are provided.

This experiment tests if submerging 9mm ammunition in Mobil 1 synthetic oil for 9 months ruins the gunpowder. Previous tests showed ammo survived shorter durations. Live fire testing of the 9-month soaked rounds in a Glock 17/19 resulted in all five rounds firing successfully without malfunctions, indicating modern ammunition is highly resistant to oil contamination.

This video provides a detailed, expert-level disassembly of a 40mm Bofors L/70 Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot with Tracer (APDS-T) cartridge. The demonstration, conducted with high authority, covers the separation of the projectile from the casing, unscrewing the sabot assembly, and finally extracting the tungsten penetrator from the polymer sabot petals. It highlights the intricate construction of advanced military projectiles.

This video demonstrates the dramatic difference in ammunition behavior when heated versus fired in a firearm. A live .223 round, when heated with a torch, detonates violently, shredding its brass casing because the pressure is not contained and directed by a barrel. The speaker, a firearms enthusiast, highlights that the primer is often the most explosive component in such uncontrolled detonations, emphasizing the importance of proper firearm function for safe projectile propulsion.

This video showcases an advanced trick shooting demonstration with a customized Marlin 1895 lever-action rifle. The shooter performs a 'Terminator' style spin-cocking maneuver and successfully shoots an ejected .45-70 casing out of the air in slow motion. The build features a Midwest Industries handguard and a Holosun red dot sight, highlighting custom modifications for enhanced performance.

This video reviews True Velocity Ammunition, highlighting its polymer-cased cartridges. The ammunition is noted for its lightweight design (approximately 30% lighter than brass), advanced three-piece construction with a steel head, and potential performance benefits like reduced powder charges for the same velocity. The reviewer tested two .308 Win. loads, a 175-grain Nosler hollow-point boattail and a 170-grain Accubond, across three rifles: a Springfield Armory 2020 Waypoint, a Colt 901, and a Springfield M1A. Performance, including accuracy and ease of extraction, is discussed, with promising results noted. The ammunition is positioned as a premium offering with a premium price, representing a significant step in cartridge case evolution.

A hot brass casing ejected from a handgun landed in a shooter's low-cut clothing, causing a burn. Instructor Mike uses this incident to highlight the importance of appropriate range attire, warning against revealing clothing that can easily catch hot brass. He emphasizes bringing a jacket for protection.

This NRA News segment features Cam Edwards interviewing Emily Miller about a D.C. businessman facing jail time for unregistered ammunition and a brass casing. The discussion likely delves into local firearms regulations and their implications for citizens. Miller, an author for The Washington Times, brings her reporting to the forefront, highlighting a specific legal case and its potential impact on gun ownership rights and responsibilities in the nation's capital.
