Duration: 0:37

This video demonstrates a highly dangerous experiment where shotgun primers (Winchester Triple Se7en 209) are heated in a frying pan on a stove. The primers ignite after approximately five minutes, causing significant cratering and nearly punching through the pan. The instructor emphasizes that the damage is more severe than from .223 bullets and strongly warns viewers against attempting this experiment due to the inherent risks.

Quick Summary

Heating shotgun primers in a frying pan causes them to ignite after about five minutes, resulting in small explosions and significant cratering that can nearly punch through the pan. This damage is more severe than that caused by .223 bullets in similar tests. The experiment highlights the inherent dangers of handling ammunition components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when shotgun primers are heated in a frying pan?

When shotgun primers are heated in a frying pan, they can ignite after a period of time, causing small explosions. This process leaves significant cratering and impact marks on the pan, demonstrating the energetic nature of these components.

Is it safe to experiment with heating shotgun primers?

No, it is extremely dangerous and strongly advised against. Heating ammunition components like shotgun primers in uncontrolled environments can lead to unpredictable explosions, causing severe damage to property and serious injury to individuals.

How does the damage from shotgun primers compare to bullets in a frying pan experiment?

In a frying pan experiment, shotgun primers caused more severe damage, including cratering and nearly punching through the pan, compared to the impact marks left by .223 bullets under similar conditions.
