Joerg sent me over. I like your ethics when filming and editing you making Joerg's explosive slingshot ammo. I not only liked what I saw, I subscribed.🤗💚
Thanks for this Joerg. How have I not found this channel before? And you're British this is nuts...like a younger Sidney Alford, may the great man rest in peace. Blue touch paper, how retro...no visco? and how much was that much that lump of zirconium?
I did something similar in college with nitrogen iodide. I made flypaper. When a fly lands on the paper, it hits a crystal and just that tiny contact is enough to detonate the crystal. Bang! No more fly. That stuff is nasty!
It is quite simple to make from sodium azide (easy to buy though a bit expensive) and lead nitrate. The latter is fairly simple to make e.g. from metallic lead and nitric acid. Instead of lead nitrate, possibly lead acetate (pretty poisenous) can be used as well..
Very cool and very fun video. One suggestion though, you should consider incorporating more close-up shots of what you're doing with your hands. I'm watching on mobile and I can't really see anything when you're working with such small amounts of material.
I just subscribed, I love explosives and love on a reservation here in Washington state :) we have so many fireworks you can't find anywhere else YEAR ROUND! Always take safety precautions but I'd never try to make my own ammo like this, too worried I'd blow my finger off lol.
Great channel man you have a great style and working with explosives, well who doesn't like exploding things, is awesome! I'm actually really p'd off with TH-cam's algorithm that I haven't been able to see this channel sooner. Cheers!

Im here because of joerg. I knew about the explosive on top of the can and yet you scared the sh*t out of me hahaha. Subscribed brother. The best of luck from me.
I like your channel because you really do interesting stuff like Joerg does... dont stop and you will get more people and views...stay healthy my friend 👌👌👌
If you wish to avoid using a primary explosive for impact-sensitive projectiles, some reading in the pyrotechnics library about railroad torpedoes will be interesting. The ingredients are cheap and easily available, and are in fact the same chemicals used in the Exploding Hammer Festival in Mexico.
When I was a kid, I used to wrap match heads in plasticine and shoot them at the house over the road, from my air rifle. BANG! click BANG! click BANG! at night. Used to light up the other side of the road for a moment. Good times.

I still think you're the perfect Watson to Joerg's ideas, as long as these 2 videos I've watched! Either way, make Joerg's ideas reality in their best possible iteration and I will watch you make them and him use them
I saw _The Three Black Powder Amigos_ vid, so thought I'd pop over and add to your growing band of subscribers. I take it, watching the fumes arise in your workshop in this vid, that they presented no danger?
Thank you for showing us the paintballs features. You said that it was only a couple of crystals needed. How many mg is that roughly? I'm interested in comparing that to the 1g you used.
in a glass you need 200 ml of dist water, 0.7g of pva, 14 grams lead nitrate and 1.5 ml of 0.35% KOH solution mix it all together, then in another beaker add 150 ml dist water and 5 grams of sodium azide. then you mix those two beakers together
How does this paintball packing scheme withstand the throwing/shooting acceleration, and only detonate on the striking deceleration? It looked like Joerg's last shot hit the slingshot arms itself causing it to detonate unexpectedly, but it still survived the release to get to that point.
That’s right, it hit the arm of the slingshot causing it to explode. These need a sharp shock to initiate the detonation. We have fired thousands from paintball guns, using lead and silver azides and never had a detonation on acceleration. The quantity of azide is so tiny, it’s almost unmeasurable. They’re very similar to kids throw down, fun snaps.
Hmm I'm not sure how I feel about this... I'm used to seeing wildly impractical explosives, in miligram quantities, strapped to the side of an empty cider tin, usually after 10-20 minutes of some guy talking about the synthesis process and expounding on his irrational fear of the colour yellow. This just seems all too... practical.

I thought Englishmen steped back a yard, not a meter...
Or two yards in this case! ;-)

Ah, lead Azide, well, it is a pain to keep it cold enough.
Besides, if someone inexperienced wanted to make it they would blow themselves up faster than anything else. ;)
Probably wouldn't even take you that much googling to figure it out anyway

Global exposure👀 elastic fantastic😁🇬🇧
This is lead-azide. Let me show you it's features.
Do you wind up breathing in lead dust doing this? Also coating your workshop in lead dust?
technicaly yes, but it`s quite a small amount. Still better not to do that inside :)

Sodium azide and lead nitrate in stoichiometric amounts.

If it will do that to a can, think of what it would do to your hand!
can't stop looking at "nothing", because "it's not there"
what? I don't know
See Kids , Science Is Fun ! , oh how I wish I paid more attention to the Chemistry teacher .
How does one acquire an explosive licence and legally film explosions for TH-cam?
Joerg brought me here, hope you dont mind if I make myself comfortable .
I’ve thought about making a small amount of lead azide before but it’s illegal and I’m scared of sodium azide. that stuff is too toxic for me
It's not illegal if you are in the US.
Is it just me or is the sound just a tiny little bit out of sync at the beginning of the video?
But aren't the lead vapors toxic?
Thank you .
