This video revisits an experiment from 2013 where Hickok45 loaded and fired a Glock 21 Gen 4 with black powder ammunition. The experiment aimed to see the effects of black powder in a modern semi-automatic pistol, highlighting the significant smoke, slow ejection, and the potential for jamming. The discussion also touches on the differences in powder bulk and pressure compared to modern smokeless powders.

This video demonstrates a highly dangerous experiment involving taping a 50 BMG round to an air rifle and firing it remotely. The setup results in an explosion, highlighting the unpredictable and hazardous nature of such modifications. The presenter, acting as a hobbyist, showcases the outcome without providing in-depth technical analysis or safety recommendations beyond basic remote firing setup.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing a .50 BMG rifle with a pre-existing barrel split. The presenter fires two rounds through a Serbu RN-50 with a damaged barrel, observing how the split progresses and impacts the bullet's performance. The experiment highlights the extreme risks associated with using compromised firearm components.

This video from Civilian Tactical features an experiment testing the effectiveness of solid wooden bullets fired from a GForce Arms GF5 12 Gauge shotgun. The host fires custom rounds containing wooden beads into ballistics gelatin to assess penetration. The results indicate that the wooden beads themselves do not penetrate the gelatin, with only accompanying birdshot showing any effect. The host, identified as a Firearms Content Creator, demonstrates safe handling and knowledge of ballistics testing.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique for muffling gunshot sounds using a common household item: a pillow. Firearms content creator Johnny Q, known for his enthusiast approach and use of tactical gear, tests the efficacy of a pillow as a makeshift silencer. The experiment involves a baseline test with a professional suppressor followed by firing an unsuppressed 9mm handgun through a pillow, observing the resulting sound reduction and projectile interaction with the material.

This guide details an experiment from DemolitionRanch where a PSA Sabre 10 rifle chambered in .308 Winchester is tested with 7.62x39mm ammunition. The video, presented by Matt Carriker, demonstrates that while the rifle can fire the incorrect caliber, the casing undergoes significant fire-forming due to the chamber size difference, and the action does not cycle. It highlights the importance of using correct ammunition for safe and reliable firearm operation.

This video details an experiment using improvised 12 Gauge slugs made from fishing weights fired from a Mossberg 500. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducted ballistic testing on various targets to assess lethality and armor-piercing capabilities. The experiment highlights the potential dangers and effectiveness of such homemade ammunition.

This video demonstrates a DIY approach to preparing a 16-gauge shotgun shell by manually seating a primer using a Tic Tac container for storage. The experiment culminates in firing the shell at a watermelon, showcasing the explosive result. The content creator, DROBASHEVICH, focuses on visual experimentation and safe handling during the demonstration.

This video demonstrates the severe consequences of firing a shotgun with a bent or obstructed barrel. Expert firearms content creator Edwin Sarkissian uses a remote firing setup in a desert environment to show how a flattened or 90-degree bent barrel can rupture upon firing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of barrel integrity for safe firearm operation.

This guide details an experiment from Collapse N Protect demonstrating a DIY method for reducing revolver noise using a towel. While the experiment shows a 25 dB reduction, it highlights that this method does not achieve hearing-safe levels. The content is presented by a firearms enthusiast with expertise in sound measurement and firearm handling.

This video demonstrates an experiment to determine if water can extinguish a 9mm tracer round. The host uses a Canik Mete SFX Rival S pistol and FireQuest tracer ammunition. After a baseline test showing the tracers igniting, a tracer round is fired through a gallon jug of water. The experiment concludes that water effectively extinguishes the tracer round.

This video demonstrates an experiment involving a 3D printed bullet, comparing it to a live .45 ACP round. The host of 1st Shot Tactical, identified as a firearms enthusiast and influencer, humorously attempts to fire the 3D printed projectile from a Remington 1911 R1. The attempt results in a 'click' as expected, due to the absence of primer and powder, highlighting basic principles of ammunition function. A strong safety disclaimer is emphasized, advising against replicating the experiment.
