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 video demonstrates an experimental test of chambering .50 BMG ammunition into a 12 gauge Orion flare gun. The presenter details a remote firing setup using duct tape and a cord, highlighting the difficulty in igniting the .50 BMG round due to its tough primer. A successful ignition of a 12 gauge blank is shown for comparison, emphasizing the importance of using correct ammunition.
Dragonman showcases his custom-built "attack jeep" featuring twin .50 caliber machine guns and an M60. He demonstrates the remote firing capabilities of the .50 caliber mounted on the dashboard, noting the use of WWII aircraft trigger solenoids. The description highlights the extensive modifications made to the jeep over 20 years, including a lowered roof, reinforced chassis, and upgraded suspension. The video also promotes Dragonman's 33rd annual Front Range Freedom Shoot event.
This experiment tests the lethality of firing knives from a 12 Gauge shotgun. While the knife projectiles created significant damage to water bottles and left marks on a shrapnel vest, they failed to penetrate it. The speaker suggests this could be due to a light powder load or impact angle, inviting viewer input.
This video explores the extreme experiment of firing a .50 BMG round from a 12-gauge over/under shotgun. After initial testing with standard shells, a remote firing rig is used to safely discharge the .50 BMG round. The results show significant destruction and casing expansion due to the lack of a proper chamber, but the shotgun surprisingly remains intact and functional.
This video from Demolition Ranch, featuring Donut Operator, explores the surprising resilience of a 5.56x45mm round when fired through severely bent AR-15 barrels. Multiple tests with spiral, double 90-degree, and even loop-the-loop configurations demonstrate that the projectile can still exit the barrel and impact a target, albeit with significant fragmentation and energy loss. The experiment highlights the robust nature of the 5.56 round and the potential for extreme barrel modifications to still allow projectile egress.
This guide details an experimental technique for observing how bullets travel through extended, curved paths using flexible conduit. It covers setup, firearm selection, firing procedures, and safety considerations, demonstrating the potential for bullets to navigate complex bends. The experiment utilizes a Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911G in .45 ACP to test bullet trajectory over distances up to 250 feet.
This video details an experimental test involving firing airsoft BBs from a real 12-gauge shotgun. The presenter, Matt Carriker, explores the ballistics and pressure dynamics of using lightweight plastic projectiles in a high-pressure firearm. The experiment includes modifying standard shotgun shells and a highly dangerous test of filling the entire shotgun barrel with BBs, fired remotely for safety. The results highlight the unexpected pressure build-up and projectile behavior.
This video details an experimental modification of crossbow bolts by attaching firearm components and explosives. The first test involved a 9mm round, which detonated but lacked penetration. The second, more successful test utilized a binary explosive in a .44 Magnum casing, creating a significant blast but still dissipating energy outward. The demonstration highlights the inherent dangers and unpredictable nature of such modifications, emphasizing safe handling practices through remote firing.
