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.

This video details an experimental procedure where a loaded Glock 19 pistol was placed inside a microwave and activated for an extended period. The experiment, conducted by Matt Carriker, aimed to observe the effects of prolonged heat exposure on a firearm and ammunition. The firearm eventually discharged due to heat-induced pressure, resulting in significant damage to both the pistol and the microwave. The video demonstrates the destructive potential of extreme heat on firearm components and ammunition.
