Videos tagged with Nitrocellulose Shortage

This video from God Family and Guns discusses the current and potential future shortages of gunpowder, primarily driven by a lack of nitrocellulose. The speaker, drawing on information from reliable sources, explains that global instability, increased military demand (from US, European, Russian, Chinese, Indian, and Pakistani forces), and import issues, including tariffs, are significantly impacting the supply chain. The video highlights that nitrocellulose production is concentrated in a few factories, many outside the US, making it vulnerable to disruptions. This scarcity is leading to increased ammunition prices and a prioritization of common calibers like 9mm, 5.56, .308, .22 LR, and 12 gauge by manufacturers, while less common rounds like .380 ACP and .38 Special are becoming harder to find.
