Throwing grenade at a frozen lake

This video demonstrates launching a grenade into a frozen lake using an X Products Can Cannon, an AR-15 upper receiver designed for launching projectiles with blank ammunition. The experiment showcases the device's capability to propel ordnance and the resulting significant explosion upon impact with the ice.

This short demonstrates the process of throwing a fragmentation grenade and taking cover. It highlights the importance of immediate safety procedures post-throw. The video also shows a cautious inspection of the undetonated grenade after a significant delay, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of ordnance.

This video showcases a custom-modified M67 fragmentation grenade fitted with spikes and a 5-second delay pressure fuse, fired from a recurve bow. The experiment successfully destroyed a household dryer, demonstrating the effectiveness of the spike modification for preventing ricochets and ensuring detonation on target. Debris was found over 200 yards away, highlighting the explosive power.

This video tests the theoretical possibility of defusing a live grenade by unscrewing the fuse assembly within its 4-5 second delay. While the host successfully simulates this, the experiment highlights extreme risks. Factors like 'cooking off' the grenade significantly reduce survival chances, estimated at only 25%. The host advises throwing it back as a safer alternative.

This YouTube video explores the effects of firing a flashbang grenade at a human face, using a skull as a target for demonstration. The content appears to be a visual and potentially scientific exploration of the explosive device's impact.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of an M67 fragmentation grenade by detonating it inside a Bank of America ATM. The experiment highlights the significant blast force and fragmentation generated by the grenade, completely destroying the ATM's internal components. It showcases the raw power of military-grade explosives in a controlled, albeit destructive, test.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.

This video tests the durability of an AR-15, AK-47, and a shotgun by encasing their barrels in concrete and firing them. All firearms successfully functioned after the concrete shattered upon firing, demonstrating remarkable resilience under extreme stress. The experiment highlights the robust engineering of these common firearm platforms.
