Frequently Asked Questions

What household items were tested for flammability against incendiary ammunition?

The video tested various flammable household items including MAPP gas cylinders, propane tanks, brake cleaner, starter fluid, WD-40, lacquer thinner, denatured alcohol, and white lithium grease when subjected to incendiary ammunition impacts.

Which firearms were used in the incendiary ammunition tests?

The tests featured several firearms, including an MP5 clone with a Dead Air Mojave 9 suppressor, a CMMG Dissent MK47 in 7.62x39, and a GM6 Lynx bullpup rifle chambered in .50 BMG.

What was the result of firing .50 BMG API rounds at propane tanks?

Surprisingly, .50 BMG Armor Piercing Incendiary (API) rounds fired from the GM6 Lynx rifle did not ignite the propane tanks. Instead, the rounds caused the tanks to vent rapidly, releasing a visible white cloud of gas.

What safety precautions should be taken when testing incendiary ammunition?

Essential safety precautions include wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like eye and hearing protection, maintaining a safe firing distance, ensuring firearms are handled responsibly, and conducting tests in a controlled environment with awareness of potential hazards like ricochets and explosions.
