This video demonstrates an experimental setup where a .50 BMG cartridge is attached to an air rifle. The objective is to use the air rifle's projectile to strike the primer of the .50 BMG cartridge, intending to cause an explosion. The air rifle is modified for remote firing, and safety features are disabled. The experiment results in a massive explosion.
This guide details a highly experimental technique for testing the compatibility of .50 BMG ammunition with a 12 Gauge Orion Flare Gun. The process involves chambering the round, understanding the firing mechanism, setting up remote firing, and conducting tests from behind cover. It highlights the toughness of .50 BMG primers and the importance of safety when deviating from standard firearm use. The demonstration is conducted by an experienced individual from Civilian Tactical.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the physics of firearm recoil by testing what happens when various guns fire without being held. The experiment demonstrates how different calibers and firearm designs react to recoil forces when unbraced, providing insights into muzzle flip and firearm movement. The presenter, Scott, uses a range of calibers from 9mm to 50 BMG to illustrate these principles.
This guide details a method for testing firearm functionality and durability underwater, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. It emphasizes safety through remote firing and controlled environments. The tests reveal significant energy loss and potential for catastrophic failure in firearms when fired submerged, with larger calibers like .50 BMG causing extreme water displacement and structural damage.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics, featuring Scott, humorously tests the 'Looney Tunes' myth of a carrot causing a shotgun barrel to explode. Using a pump-action 12 Gauge shotgun and a remote firing mechanism for safety, they demonstrate that a carrot lodged in the barrel indeed causes catastrophic failure upon firing, splitting the barrel. The experiment highlights the dangers of barrel obstructions and confirms the destructive potential seen in cartoons.
This video demonstrates an experimental technique for attempting to curve a .50 BMG projectile through custom-bent galvanized steel pipes using a Serbu RN50 rifle. The experiment highlights the immense power of the .50 BMG round, showing a pipe rupture on a sharp bend and a successful navigation of a more gradual curve. The presenter, Edwin Sarkissian, showcases proficient handling of high-caliber firearms and an understanding of breech-loading mechanics, emphasizing safety with proper protection and remote firing.
This video explores the experimental concept of firing a .50 BMG round from a 12 Gauge shotgun. While a break-barrel GForce Pheasant Gun could chamber the round, a semi-automatic GForce II could not. Remote firing was employed for safety, but the experiment ultimately failed due to insufficient firing pin energy and excessive headspace, resulting in light primer strikes and the round pushing further into the chamber.
This guide details a post-submersion firearm test, focusing on safety and functionality. It covers initial inspection, basic cleaning, and a remote firing procedure for a Glock 17 left underwater for 150 days. The experiment highlights the importance of careful handling and safety protocols when dealing with firearms of unknown condition after extreme environmental exposure.
This video from Yee Yee Life details an extreme durability test of a Glock pistol submerged in water for 100 days. Despite significant rust and a seized slide, the firearm was successfully fired remotely after manual intervention, demonstrating remarkable resilience. The host, a firearms enthusiast, emphasizes safety with a remote firing setup.
This video demonstrates a unique durability test where a Glock 17 handgun is submerged in pond water for 60 days. The firearm is then rigged with a remote firing system using zip ties and a pull-string to safely test its functionality. The test confirms the Glock's ability to fire after prolonged submersion, highlighting its robust design. The content creator, an outdoor and firearms influencer, showcases an experimental approach to firearm testing.
This guide details an experimental procedure for firing a shotgun while buried underground, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It covers preparation, safety setup for remote firing, the firing process, and post-fire inspection. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast and content creator, successfully fired a Turkish Pump-Action Shotgun buried in a dirt trench, with the firearm showing no damage. The experiment highlights firearm resilience under unusual conditions.
This video details an experimental test of a Glock 17's durability after being submerged in a pond for 30 days. The host, an enthusiast content creator, demonstrates a safe remote firing procedure after cleaning the mud-covered firearm. The Glock 17 successfully fired and cycled, passing the initial test, with plans for further submersion.
