This video details an experiment where a single .50 BMG round was heated in a pan on a portable stove, simulating cooking a hot dog. The .50 BMG round detonated, punching a hole through the pan and leaving an imprint of its base. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, emphasizes the extreme danger and unpredictability of such actions, advising against repeating the "forbidden hot dog" experiment. The demonstration was conducted at an outdoor range with safety measures like taking cover behind a truck.

This video demonstrates a tactical experiment involving a TAGinn TAG-67 pyrotechnic training grenade and a Skoda Superb. The presenter, Ziga from Polenar Tactical, expertly explains and demonstrates the grenade's safety features, including the pull-pin and spoon mechanism, and the 4-second fuse delay. The experiment culminates in the grenade being rolled under the car and detonating, showcasing its pyrotechnic effects. The high authority level of the speaker is evident in their precise terminology and safe handling demonstration.

This video demonstrates a high-risk experiment where an M67 fragmentation grenade is subjected to extreme heat within an oven, ignited by a Pulsefire flamethrower. The footage, presented by Edwin Sarkissian, shows the grenade detonating due to cook-off, destroying the oven and scattering debris. It highlights the critical importance of understanding explosive behavior under thermal stress and maintaining safe operational distances.

This guide details the operation of the FBG-6 Flash Bang 2.0, a pyrotechnic distraction device. It emphasizes the function of the safety lever and the 2.0-second delay. The demonstration highlights that real flashbangs disorient through sound and flash, not the extreme visual effects seen in media. Expert instruction from Polenar Tactical covers safe handling and deployment principles.

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 demonstrates an experimental test by Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms and explosives content creator, to assess the destructive potential of a German Stielhandgranate 24 against the tracks of a Caterpillar D7 bulldozer. The test reveals the remarkable durability of the industrial steel tracks, which withstood the blast with no visible damage, highlighting the robust construction of heavy machinery compared to historical military armor.
