This video tests the resilience of 9mm ammunition under extreme conditions, including submersion in water for five days, complete coating in spray paint, Loctite, Gorilla Super Glue, and being frozen solid in ice. The tests demonstrate that most common ammunition types are remarkably durable and can still fire even after significant abuse, debunking common misconceptions.

Quick Summary

Ammunition, including 9mm cartridges like Blazer Brass and Speer Gold Dot, demonstrates remarkable resilience. Tests show rounds remain functional after five days submerged in water, coated in spray paint, Loctite, Gorilla Super Glue, and even frozen solid in ice, debunking myths about contaminants preventing firing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can 9mm ammunition still fire after being submerged in water for five days?

Yes, 9mm ammunition, including brands like Blazer Brass and Speer Gold Dot, has been shown to remain functional even after being submerged in water for five days. This indicates a high level of resilience against moisture ingress that could damage the powder or primer.

Will ammunition fire if it's completely covered in spray paint?

Yes, ammunition completely covered in spray paint, including the primer and casing, can still fire. The firing pin is typically able to penetrate the paint layer sufficiently to ignite the primer, demonstrating that superficial coatings do not reliably render cartridges inert.

Does super glue on a primer prevent a cartridge from firing?

Surprisingly, even a thick glob of super glue applied directly to the primer of a 9mm cartridge did not prevent it from firing. The firing pin successfully punched through the hardened glue, igniting the primer and allowing the round to discharge.

Can ammunition that has been frozen solid in ice still function?

Yes, ammunition that has been frozen solid in ice for several days, with ice covering the primers and filling cavities, can still fire reliably. Tests show that extreme cold and ice do not inherently disable cartridges.
