This video demonstrates an experiment involving heating black powder substitute (Hodgdon Pyrodex RS) in a frying pan on a camping stove. The speaker, exhibiting experienced authority, observes the ignition process and notes the resulting flash, smoke, and residue. The experiment was conducted outdoors at a shooting range, highlighting safety precautions. The video also mentions SDI.TODAY for firearms technology education.

This video explores the concept of "double charging" in firearms ammunition and its potential to cause an "exploded pistol". The presenter explains that while a double charge is dangerous and should be avoided, it typically only leads to catastrophic failure when the ammunition's pressure is already at its limit or when combined with other aggravating factors. The video suggests that a correctly loaded double charge, using a propellant with the right burn rate, can generate more energy without significantly altering pressure travel, allowing the firearm's mechanics to absorb the excess energy. A link to a previous video on "Setback" is provided, along with social media links and safety disclaimers.

This video provides an expert-level disassembly of a rare 4-gauge shotgun shell. The instructor, demonstrating high authority, meticulously details the components, including lead shot, wadding, and gunpowder, using precision tools like digital scales and calipers. The process highlights the significant size and weight of the components, offering a unique look into the construction of this large-caliber ammunition.

This Guns & Gear Bonus Tip video features Kevin “KJ” Jarnagin and Kent Sakamoto of Hodgdon discussing the crucial rules of reloading firearms. They emphasize key factors that contribute to both maximum performance and, importantly, safety during the reloading process. The content aims to provide essential knowledge for individuals involved in reloading ammunition.

This video features Kent Sakamoto from Hodgdon TV and Kevin "KJ" Jarnagin from Guns & Gear discussing the critical process of selecting the right gunpowder for the 6mm GT cartridge. The discussion delves into the factors influencing powder choice, aiming to optimize performance for this specific rifle caliber. Following the technical discussion, the video shifts to a practical demonstration where KJ takes his reloaded 6mm GT ammunition to the range to assess its performance. The content aims to provide valuable insights for handloaders and rifle enthusiasts interested in the 6mm GT.

This YouTube video conducts a temperature stability test on several Alliant gunpowder varieties, including Power Pro Varmint, AR-Comp, Reloder 15, Reloder TS 15.5, and Power Pro 2000-MR. The video aims to evaluate how variations in temperature affect the performance of these specific reloading powders. The description also includes a link to the creator's Patreon page for further support.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
