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 tests the lethality of a 12-gauge birdshot round fired from a trip alarm into ballistic gelatin. While the high-brass casing split and ejected forcefully, the projectile did not penetrate the gelatin head and caused superficial damage. The instructor notes that while not lethal, it poses a significant eye hazard.

This video tests the capability of a Caliber 12 perimeter alarm to fire a projectile. The experiment involves modifying a blank cartridge by removing shot and folding the tip to increase pressure, then testing it with a Caliber 12 projectile without powder. The results show significant deformation and a loud report, but insufficient energy for real damage. The video strongly advises against replicating this test due to extreme danger.

This entry details a combat veteran's harrowing account of a VBIED attack, emphasizing the critical importance of immediate medical response and the psychological resilience required in combat. The veteran's first-hand description of severe injuries and the chaotic aftermath highlights the brutal realities of modern warfare.

This video explores historical grenade booby trap methods, including the 'Afghan Tulip' and pressure-activated traps. It highlights the psychological and area-denial effects of such devices, emphasizing their significant destructive potential. The content is presented as educational, not instructional, and details various historical implementations used by forces in Afghanistan, Vietnam, and modern conflicts.

This video from Tática Civil demonstrates three methods for creating grenade booby traps: The Cup Method, The Tripwire Method, and The Loot/Weight Method. The speaker, exhibiting high authority and tactical expertise, explains how to use common objects to retain the grenade's safety lever until triggered. These techniques are presented for informational purposes, highlighting the mechanics of improvised explosive devices.

This guide details the experimental technique of firing a custom-modified M67 fragmentation grenade, fitted with external spikes and a pressure-activated fuse, from a bow at a target. The video demonstrates the successful application of this modification, highlighting the destructive potential and tactical considerations for preventing ricochet. The process involves careful preparation of the modified ordnance and precise execution of the shot.

This YouTube video features Drew Estell, a former member of 5th Group (Green Berets), recounting an experience where his signal intelligence team discovered they had driven over seven Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during a deployment. The description also promotes the full episode available on their channel and includes several relevant hashtags.

This video depicts the act of dropping a Molotov cocktail down an abandoned mine shaft. The description humorously notes that this is an old video and that the ATF and Bureau of Land Management have already investigated and spoken with the creator. The video is presented as a potentially successful outcome of this experiment.

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 guide details the process of deploying and detonating a custom RC-XD explosive device, inspired by the video game Call of Duty. It emphasizes remote detonation via smartphone and highlights the use of high-yield explosives for significant destructive effect on a target at approximately 50 meters. The demonstration, performed by FPSRussia, showcases a high-energy, albeit satirical, approach to simulated ordnance deployment.
