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 details an experiment where various grenades and explosives were subjected to microwave radiation. Conducted by Matt Carriker and explosives expert Sean, the tests revealed that most explosives, including thermite, CS gas, stinger grenades, plastic explosives, and TNT, did not detonate from microwave exposure alone. A flashbang did detonate, destroying the microwave. A live fragmentation grenade also failed to detonate, likely due to its metal casing. The video emphasizes the dangers of handling explosives and concludes with controlled detonations for disposal.
