This video demonstrates an unconventional method for clearing a squib load from a firearm barrel. A high-profile firearms influencer, PewView, uses a Meta Tactical Apex bullpup chassis on a Glock and encounters a squib load with Federal 115gr ammunition. Instead of conventional clearing, PewView detaches the barrel and uses a Smith & Wesson Competitor to fire a 9mm round into the obstruction, successfully clearing it. The experiment is captured with high-speed cameras, highlighting the impact and the undamaged barrel post-clearing.

This video features a ballistic dummy being subjected to the destructive force of a real MK-2 Grenade, Dynamite, and DetCord, all captured in super slow-motion. The creator expresses gratitude to Ballistic Dummy Lab for providing the dummies for destruction and to Ballistic High-Speed filming crew for their expertise in capturing the event. The video offers a unique visual demonstration of explosive effects on specialized targets, providing a high-impact spectacle for viewers interested in the physics of explosions and destructive testing.

This video demonstrates an experiment to visually capture bullets in flight using a high-speed camera. The host, a firearms content creator, tests various calibers (.223, 9mm subsonic, 12ga slug) at 900 fps. The experiment successfully captured a 12ga slug, highlighting the challenges and potential of high-speed ballistics photography. Proper range safety and understanding of projectile velocity were emphasized.

This video from Forgotten Weapons, featuring Ian McCollum, provides an expert-level analysis of the Colt 1860 Army replica's firing sequence using high-speed (2000 fps) footage. It details the mechanics of percussion ignition, highlighting the visible spark cloud from the cap and the subsequent delay before powder ignition, evidenced by smoke escaping the cylinder gap. The analysis offers deep insight into the firearm's operation beyond what the naked eye can perceive.
