This video explores the effects of igniting a .50 BMG primer using various projectile-based methods, moving beyond a simple firing pin strike. The experiment demonstrates that while a direct primer strike can initiate the powder charge, the outcome is highly dependent on the projectile's size, power, and ability to seal the primer pocket. The presenter, acting as an amateur experimenter, highlights the unpredictable nature of such tests and the potential for catastrophic case failure.
