Bowling Ball mortar launching a 12lb ball 1/2 mile at Washington County Machine Guns

This expert guide, presented by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrates the extreme danger of using modern smokeless gunpowder in a muzzleloader. The experiment clearly shows that muzzleloaders are designed for slower-burning black powder, and substituting modern powders leads to catastrophic failure due to immense pressure differences. The video emphasizes that this practice is akin to creating a 'pipe bomb' and should never be attempted.

Gunpowder requires confinement to explode; when unconfined, both smokeless and black powder burn steadily. Smokeless powder burns predictably, while black powder burns faster and more aggressively. The key to a propellant's effectiveness is its ability to produce rapid gas expansion under pressure within a firearm's chamber.

This video provides a detailed unboxing of a 40-year-old Soviet 120mm mortar round crate. It showcases the careful inspection of two OF 120 M rounds, including their fuse, body markings, and tail fin assembly. The crate also contained propellant charges and relevant documentation like an inspection slip and packing list from 1990.

This video provides an immersive auditory experience of being shot at by various historical firearms, including the Virginia Long Rifle, Brown Bess, and Baker Rifle. It establishes a baseline with a modern 14.5 URGI rifle and highlights the distinct sound profiles of each weapon, emphasizing the differences between smoothbore and rifled black powder projectiles. The demonstration is conducted by Administrative Results, offering an experimental and authoritative perspective on historical ballistics.

This experiment tests the impact resistance of a 300-gallon water tank against a bowling ball fired from a custom black powder cannon. The bowling ball successfully penetrated the tank, demonstrating significant kinetic energy transfer. While the water absorbed enough energy to prevent the projectile from exiting the rear, the tank's structural integrity was compromised, with the projectile remaining inside.

This video showcases an experiment involving a "Black Powder Billard Ball Cannon" being fired at a "running car." The description indicates the content creator, "Black Powder Billard Ball Cannon," also known as "704 Tactical," is active on platforms like Patreon, YouTube, Facebook, and Rumble, and engages in gear reviews, with many items sent for review. The video aims to demonstrate the power of the cannon against a moving vehicle.

This video showcases a comprehensive test fire of 43 machine guns from Washington County Machine Guns' rental inventory, conducted in a single, unedited take. It features a wide array of firearms, from bullpup rifles like the FN F2000 and Steyr AUG to classic SMGs such as the Uzi and Thompson, and modern platforms like the Kriss Vector and H&K MP5 variants. The session highlights various calibers and includes demonstrations of different M16 configurations and heavy machine guns like the M60.

Washington County Machine Guns LLC conducts its annual test fire of all rental inventory to ensure functionality.
