Videos tagged with Water Effects

This video investigates the effects of water on tracer ammunition. It demonstrates that water can extinguish the tracer element of both .22LR and 9mm rounds. While the .22LR tracer's phosphorus tip was extinguished, the 9mm rounds continued to burn briefly after impact, suggesting differences in tracer composition or ignition timing.

This video investigates the effect of water on tracer ammunition. It demonstrates that 9mm tracer rounds are extinguished by water, while .22LR tracer rounds, particularly when fired from a distance to allow for ignition, can continue to burn after passing through water. The experiment highlights differences in tracer composition and ignition timing.
