This guide outlines the methodology for a suppressor durability test, as demonstrated in the video. It details the setup using a 7.5-inch AR-15, a Plan B mount system, and rapid-fire testing. The video highlights the importance of extreme safety precautions due to the high risk of catastrophic suppressor failure, emphasizing that such tests should only be conducted by trained professionals.

This video details an experiment where a single .50 BMG round was heated in a pan on a portable stove, simulating cooking a hot dog. The .50 BMG round detonated, punching a hole through the pan and leaving an imprint of its base. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, emphasizes the extreme danger and unpredictability of such actions, advising against repeating the "forbidden hot dog" experiment. The demonstration was conducted at an outdoor range with safety measures like taking cover behind a truck.

This YouTube video focuses on crucial safety tips for shooting steel targets, particularly after a TV reporter was struck by a bullet fragment. The content aims to educate viewers on safe practices to prevent similar incidents. While specific firearms or calibers are not detailed in the provided title and description, the emphasis is clearly on responsible shooting and range safety.

This video provides a DIY guide for creating high-output smoke devices using three common ingredients: stump remover (potassium nitrate), powdered sugar, and mineral oil. It details the specific ratio of ingredients (6:4:3 parts) and the process of mixing and containing the mixture, often in repurposed tiki torch canisters. The presenter emphasizes that this is an advanced DIY project and strongly advises against attempting it without professional training due to inherent safety risks and the potential for extreme heat and fire hazards.

This video demonstrates the extreme danger of shooting pressurized oxygen tanks. While smaller caliber rounds like 7.62x39 and 5.56 FMJ failed to cause significant damage, a .308 Winchester round ignited the released oxygen, causing combustion. The .50 BMG round resulted in a massive explosion, highlighting the severe risks involved. The content emphasizes that oxygen tanks are not safe targets and should never be shot.

This video title, "Look at we found! These are oldies, should we be worried about our Lungs?", suggests the discovery of old items, with a specific concern raised about potential respiratory health implications. While the exact nature of the 'oldies' is not detailed, the mention of lungs implies potential exposure to dust, mold, or other airborne particles from aged materials. The phrasing hints at a discovery that might be intriguing but also poses a cautionary element.

This guide details the operation of the Pulsefire Flamethrower, emphasizing its electric ignition, LiPo battery requirements, and a burn time of approximately 22 seconds. It also covers practical applications like weed clearing and ice melting, while strongly advising safety precautions, including the mandatory presence of a fire extinguisher. The video also briefly features the H&K MR762A1 LRP rifle as part of a giveaway.

This episode of Practical Shooting After Dark discusses the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the shooting sports community. Hosts Ben Stoeger, Joel Park, and Mr. Kim share insights on how events, matches, and training are being affected, offering advice on adapting training routines, managing ammunition supplies, and maintaining safety protocols. They also touch upon the future outlook for shooting seasons and the potential long-term changes in the sport.

This video details the construction and testing of a custom-built black powder cannon designed to launch a bowling ball with an integrated GoPro. The experiment highlights the significant power of black powder and the challenges of managing extreme recoil, even with a heavy steel frame. The creator, an experimental ballistics enthusiast, demonstrates a high level of practical knowledge in custom propellants and launcher design.

This guide details an experimental modification to a 12-gauge plastic flare gun, attempting to increase hammer force with rubber bands to ignite a .50 BMG primer. The process involves securing the flare gun, adding rubber bands, testing tension, and remote firing. It highlights the challenges of off-center strikes and insufficient force, ultimately concluding the modification was unsuccessful in igniting the primer. The video emphasizes extreme safety precautions due to the inherent dangers of such experiments.

This guide details the setup for a remote firing experiment, as demonstrated by DemolitionRanch. It covers constructing a specialized stand, establishing a safe firing range, and utilizing remote firing methods to analyze extreme recoil. The experiment highlights the significant projectile force generated by a .500 S&W Magnum when not actively held.

This video from Demolition Ranch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the effects of microwaving napalm. While the napalm itself does not ignite in the microwave, it boils and cracks the container. Adding metallic components like birdshot and shell casings induces sparking. A controlled burn outside the microwave confirms the napalm's flammability. The video highlights experimental safety measures, including protective shielding.
