Videos tagged with Terminal Velocity

This entry debunks the myth that bullets fired into the air vanish, drawing on expert analysis from Colion Noir. It details the physics of falling bullets, their retained velocity (over 200 mph), and the severe real-world consequences, including injuries and property damage, as evidenced by news reports. The core message emphasizes that responsible gun ownership precludes such dangerous and negligent actions.

This guide details the three types of ammunition deemed safe for firing skyward: blank cartridges, signaling flares, and birdshot. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes that standard ammunition should never be fired upwards due to extreme danger. The video highlights the physics behind why these specific types are acceptable, focusing on their lack of a dangerous projectile or their designed trajectory and low terminal velocity. The importance of professional gunsmithing education from institutions like SDI is also promoted.

This video from Tática Civil, featuring an expert instructor, explains the dangers of firing upwards due to projectile drop and terminal velocity. It demonstrates the safe use of 9mm shot shells for controlled demonstrations, highlighting the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor red dot sight. The instructor emphasizes crucial firearm safety protocols.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the safety implications of firing firearms vertically, specifically addressing the common misconception that all upward shots are equally deadly. The host demonstrates using a Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor optic, revealing that specialized 9mm shot shells behave differently than standard bullets due to their construction. While standard projectiles fired upwards can be lethal, these shot shells show a reduced impact, highlighting the importance of understanding ammunition types and general firearm safety principles.

This video discusses the dangers of firing firearms into the air, particularly during elections, to intimidate opponents. It highlights that bullets fired upwards can be lethal upon return due to their retained velocity, citing personal experiences and studies. The content emphasizes the legal consequences and potential for accidental death or injury.

This video explains the critical role of terminal velocity in achieving maximum effective range for long-range shooting. It highlights that most bullets require at least 2,000 ft/s for proper expansion and wound cavity creation. The presenter uses a comparison between a Spitzer and a VLD bullet in 7mm to demonstrate how bullet shape significantly impacts downrange velocity and thus terminal performance at extended distances.
