Videos tagged with Explosives Handling

This video demonstrates the correct techniques for holding a hand grenade, emphasizing the differences for right-handed and left-handed individuals. It explains the function of the pull ring and spoon as safety devices and provides specific grip methods to ensure secure handling and proper ring manipulation.

This entry details a near-fatal breaching incident involving a Delta Force operator and a C6 breaching charge. It highlights the critical importance of proper handling and the high-yield power of such explosives in tactical operations. The content emphasizes the extreme stress and risks associated with Tier 1 tactical entries, particularly in environments like prisons.

This video demonstrates the practical application of setting explosive charges for door breaching, focusing on techniques for wooden doors. It highlights the use of detonation cord and dynamite, emphasizing strategic placement on hinges and locks. The instruction stresses safety protocols, including the importance of attaching detonators last and ensuring personnel are clear before detonation, while also noting differences between training and real-world scenarios.

This video advertises an 'Open-to-the-Public High Explosive Class' offered by WCMG LLC. The training covers the safe handling and use of various high explosives including C-4, Semtex, RDX, HMX, Dynamite, ANFO, and more. Two classes are detailed: an 8-hour 'Introduction to High Explosives' with hands-on detonation, and an 8-hour 'Advanced Usage of High Explosives' focusing on real-world applications like breaching and directional charges. The company holds multiple ATF licenses, and the lead instructor is a PA Certified Blaster.

This guide demonstrates the fundamental safety mechanism of a grenade, specifically the M67 style. It highlights that the grenade will not detonate as long as the safety lever (spoon) is held in place, even after the pin is removed. The demonstration emphasizes proper grip and the function of the safety lever, reinforcing safe handling practices for training aids.

This video details a comprehensive breacher kit setup, emphasizing organization and accessibility of specialized tools for demolition and tactical operations. The instructor, an HR breacher, explains the purpose of each component, from ammunition and medical supplies to firing systems and custom breaching tools. The setup prioritizes rapid access to critical items, redundancy for electrical initiation, and adaptability for various mission requirements, highlighting the importance of both specialized gear and simple, reliable tools.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian, an established firearms and explosives content creator, experimentally tests if a 'pineapple' style fragmentation grenade can break a car window upon impact before its 5-second fuse detonates. The experiment, conducted in a desert with a Range Rover Sport, demonstrates that while the initial impact may not suffice, a second, direct impact successfully shatters the glass, allowing the grenade to enter the vehicle. The subsequent detonation causes extensive damage, confirming the grenade's weight and force are sufficient to break automotive glass.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique for deploying an M67 fragmentation grenade using a drone equipped with a custom servo release mechanism. The process involves careful arming of the grenade, drone flight, and remote triggering of the release over a target area. The demonstration highlights the potential for drone-based payload delivery in specific, controlled environments, emphasizing the high-energy and experimental nature of the procedure.

This guide details the proper technique for throwing an M67 fragmentation grenade, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers essential safety steps like securing the pin and lever, and the throwing motion itself. The video highlights the 4-5 second fuse delay and the resulting blast effect on a frozen lake. Instruction emphasizes stability during pin removal by holding the grenade to the chest.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique for deploying an M67 fragmentation grenade using a commercial drone over a frozen lake. The process involves modifying a drone with a custom release mechanism and carefully arming the grenade for remote detonation. The video also features a gold-plated AK-47. Instruction is provided by Edwin Sarkissian, a recognized content creator in the firearms and explosives space.

This video showcases a "High Explosive Class" hosted by Washington County Machine Guns in September 2022. The organization holds licenses from the ATF for manufacturing high explosives and destructive devices, and they open their LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) training to the public three times a year. Prerequisites for attending include being 18+, a US Citizen, and passing a federal background check. No prior experience is necessary for this event, which is documented through pictures and videos.

This video provides a detailed look at World War II landmines and detection equipment from the Colorado Springs Military Museum. Dragonman showcases various landmine types, including the M7A1 and diaphragm models, explaining their activation mechanisms via pressure plates or tripwires. He also demonstrates the function of detonators and the use of steel flags by engineers to mark detected mines.
