This guide details the critical steps for re-pinning a TAG-30 fragmentation simulator, emphasizing the absolute necessity of not releasing the safety lever (spoon). It outlines how to use the original pin or an alternative object to secure the mechanism, highlighting the expertise of the instructor in demonstrating practical safety procedures with training devices.

This video explains the science behind binary explosives, specifically Sonic Boom targets. The host, demonstrating high authority, details the two-component (oxidizer and fuel) nature of these targets, emphasizing they are inert until mixed. Proper mixing techniques are shown before detonation with a Steyr AUG rifle, highlighting the need for a high-velocity impact. The content also briefly promotes the Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI).

This video demonstrates an experimental attempt to create an underground Tannerite pipeline for detonation. Lead Firearms Instructor Matt Carriker highlights the importance of proper explosive placement and sufficient impact velocity for successful chain reactions. The guide details the process of filling a PVC pipe with Tannerite, initial failed attempts, and the eventual successful detonation after consolidating the explosive material. It underscores safety by showing the team unharmed after a significant blast.

This guide details the technique of 'cooking off' a grenade, as explained by former Army Ranger John Lovell. It emphasizes understanding the tactical context of bunker clearing, the risks involved, and the importance of precise timing to maximize explosive effectiveness. This advanced technique requires expert instruction and practice.
