This video details an experiment where a 37mm smoke grenade from Ordnance Group was placed on a hot frying pan. The grenade ignited, launched, and deployed smoke, leaving melted plastic residue in the pan. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, issues a strong warning against attempting such actions due to extreme safety hazards.

This video explores whether a signaling flare can be ignited using a 12-gauge flare launcher or a standard 12-gauge shotgun. Initial attempts with the flare launcher failed due to insufficient primer impact. A technique involving adding a small piece of paper around the flare's primer to create a tighter seal was demonstrated to achieve successful ignition and function.

This video demonstrates how to diagnose and resolve a 'dry ball' situation in black powder firearms, where a projectile becomes stuck in the chamber. The speaker, Deuce, explains that this often occurs due to forgotten gunpowder charges. He illustrates the process of disassembling a revolver, identifying the issue, and then using a small charge of black powder to fire the stuck ball out, offering alternative methods as well.

This video explains the dangerous phenomenon of Deflagration to Detonation Transition (DDT) in firearms. Professional gunsmith Guido details how gunpowder normally deflagrates, creating controlled pressure. He warns that DDT, where gunpowder detonates, can occur due to improper loading, especially with low powder charges in long cases, leading to catastrophic firearm failure. The video emphasizes meticulous reloading practices to avoid this risk.

This video details the aftermath of an ammunition 'kaboom' event, focusing on the damage to a firearm's bolt face and ramp. It explains how overpressure or setback can cause the cartridge case to expand, copying the firearm's components. The instructor highlights the importance of the extractor channel's role in venting excess pressure and discusses the differences between a true kaboom and a setback event.

This video demonstrates a detailed, multi-stage manual reloading process for a niche 4-gauge shotgun shell. The expert instructor guides viewers through priming, powder loading, wad insertion, projectile seating with a 'Megaslug', and finally sealing the shell with melted polymer/wax. The process highlights specialized tools and components required for this large-caliber reloading.

This video explains how sectional density is a crucial factor in determining ammunition effectiveness. While other variables also play a role, sectional density is highlighted as a key consideration for projectile performance. The description also includes general hashtags related to firearms, ammunition, and specific calibers like 300 Blackout, along with social media links for the GUNBROS brand.

This YouTube video features Drobashevich examining old 12-gauge shotgun cartridges from the USSR. He opens one cartridge using an Opinel knife to inspect its components, including the shot, wads, gunpowder, and primer. The video also mentions a test to check the gunpowder's burning rate, possibly using a 'falcon' tool for this assessment. The content focuses on the historical and material aspects of vintage ammunition.

This YouTube video features a segment of a larger "Primer" episode, focusing specifically on the Japanese Arisaka Type 30 Carbine.

This YouTube video features a creator expressing gratitude to Buckeye Ballistics for supplying them with .410 hulls for reloading purposes. The title and description clearly indicate a focus on the reloading aspect of firearms, specifically for .410 ammunition. This suggests content related to ammunition preparation, potentially for use in firearms that chamber this caliber.

This YouTube Short features "Jeff Mau the science guy" as he and a staff member take apart ammunition to demonstrate how it works. The description encourages viewers to "go to the Gemba" and "light stuff on fire," implying a hands-on, experimental approach to understanding the components and function of ammunition. The video aims to provide an educational yet engaging look at the science behind bullets.

This video segment, titled "Minute of Mae: US Colt 1902 'Philippine Model'," offers a brief look at a specific firearm. The description highlights that this is a snippet from a larger "Primer" episode, encouraging viewers to explore the full content via a provided YouTube link.
