Blastin' Binary Targets!

Published on December 6, 2021
Duration: 13:39

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of binary targets, specifically poppers from USA Chemical Supply, when shot with various AR-15 platforms. The presenter highlights how different calibers and firearms impact these targets, showcasing their durability and the satisfying 'boom' they produce. It's a fun look at reactive targets for recreational shooting.

Quick Summary

Binary targets, such as poppers from USA Chemical Supply, are designed for reactive shooting experiences. They detonate upon impact from standard rifle ammunition like 223 caliber, 55-grain rounds, producing a loud 'boom' and visual effect. Filling hollow targets with liquids can enhance their explosive reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are binary targets and how do they work?

Binary targets, like the poppers from USA Chemical Supply, are designed to create a significant reactive effect when struck by a firearm projectile. They often contain a small explosive charge that detonates upon impact, producing a loud 'boom' and visual effect, making them fun for recreational shooting.

What type of ammunition is effective for binary targets?

The video demonstrates that standard rifle ammunition, such as 223 caliber, 55-grain rounds from Grind Hard Ammo, is effective for detonating binary targets. The key is sufficient velocity and energy transfer upon impact to initiate the target's reaction.

Can you use different types of firearms with binary targets?

Yes, the video showcases the use of various AR-15 platforms, including an 11.5-inch model and a 10.5-inch side charger, with binary targets. This indicates that common rifle calibers fired from different configurations can successfully engage these reactive targets.

How can you enhance the reaction of certain targets?

For hollow targets like pumpkins, filling them with liquids such as Sprite can significantly amplify the reaction when struck by binary targets. This creates a more dramatic explosion and dispersal of the target material.
