High and low temperature as well, humidity... And differently from most metals, these types of degradation on plastic are accumulative as the molecular structure is completely different.
Commonly used petrochemicals like lubricating oil and bore cleaning solvent can be incredibly damaging to plastic. Even eco-friendly solvents like acetone (used in brake clean and nail polish remover) will soften and compromise strong engineering plastics like polycarbonate.
If you go frame by frame (Use . and ,) you can find a bunch of of impacts all over the place(I think one right in front) and even see how some shrapnel is slower than others, the one up top is two frames so 0,06s slower

@@mikhacoffman4522 I highly doubt it. I personally know a few Ukrainians who fought there. If you're on the front line for a few months, the chances of you surviving or not getting wounded are very small. It's a massacre. Ukraine has been trying to hide it from the beginning. My wife personally knows a guy from whose platoon only he and his buddy are alive today nad are intact. The rest were killed or seriously wounded. The guy eventually escaped from Ukraine because they wanted to send him again. This guy here is probably one of the instructors.
@ Kraken released a video of their operations in offensive in 2022 and he’s all over it lol, he then reposted it on his channel, My dude, lots of people are in the front lines, I also know lots of guys out there and they’re fine, lots of people die but not everyone or else this wouldn’t be a war lmfao.
I have an idea for one of your SFMs. An RGO but after removing the pin and arming the grenade the user is required to be extremely fast at launch or risking a nuclear detonation at the hand. (RGNuclear)
the metal balls in the plastic ball could also be giving it an effect sort of like a mini dead-blow hammer to ensure the momentum of the ball is transferred properly into the firing pin instead of the ball bouncing in some odd way and not transferring enough force
The filling is not pure hexogen, but hekfol (A-IX-1), hexogen phlegmatized with a mixture of ceresin and stearic acid. Done precisely to make it safer to handle and compress to charges. :) As to other main fillings, I have read that RGO and RGN were also filled with cast TG40, cast T and even PVV-4, but haven't seen an example of such a grenade in captivity yet.
@@edibandulan5266 Hexogen is a secondary explosive, however, it belongs to the more sensitive type of secondary explosives. Pure, it is about twice as sensitive to impact as is trotyl (TNT) and about thrice as sensitive to friction. Therefore, it is most often used in a phlegmatized state (desensitized by the addition of wax, plasticizers or other substances). The only items where pure, nonphlegmatized hexogen is used are detonators and detonating cords. The binder in C4 has a quite potent phlegmatizing action on hexogen, so C4 is very safe to handle; it contains about 90...91 % hexogen by mass, not 94 %.
@@fritzhaber3994 Based on my literature the C4 is use around 6% plasticizer and RDX is more like booster explosive like TACN. I don't think you can detonating pressed RDX in a blasting cap with a visco fuse or electric cord also i believe it does not even burn when you light up with fire since i never make it too, for me making explosive like PETN or ETN (sugar derivative) is far more cheaper than producing RDX and also PETN/ETN have a higher detonation felocity than RDX.
@@edibandulan5266 Sorry, but these assertions are wrong. C4 contained originally 91 % hexogen and 9 % of a binder, composed of di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate and mineral oil thickened with Vistanex MML-120 polyisobutene, nowadays, the Holston plant C4 contains ca. 90,25 % hexogen, 1,25 % DMDB taggant and 8,5 % of the sebacate/mineral oil/Oppanol B200 binder. See, for instance, MIL-C-45010 specification. Pressed hexogen is used as a secondary, main charge, in some blasting caps and detonators, under the azide priming composition. It does burn energically when lit on fire, with a bright bluish flame, and the burning can pass to detonation, if too large a quantity is lit at once or if the burning hexogen is confined. Making any explosives in improvised conditions is dangerous, don't do it. Nitroerythrite is not used commercially, pentrite is cheaper to manufacture than hexogen, but the maximum detonation velocity of hexogen is somewhat higher, than both those of nitroerythrite and pentrite.
@@edibandulan5266 primary and secondary, while technically useful terms, are not chemically useful to understand how any particular explosive compound undergoes decomposition. You are talking literal chemistry, the mechanics are complex and concentrations/interactions with other substances are what make 'primary' and 'secondary'. If you wanna know more, I would recommend taking chem classes at the most convenient university, can probably make use of the credits for more than your odd explosives questions. There is not enough space in a youtube comment to actually explain this! Isn't shit neat!? EDIT just saw your other comment, I might recommend law credits instead. Probably don't want to be telling people how to 'making explosive like PETN' on the internet, that can get you a very unpleasant conversation with government agents.
Its not rare or new lol USA also has impact grenade, many countries have had impact grenades for decades. You just never hear about them, and only recently have they popped up in some video games in terms of American media, and never in movies that I've seen. Just overall, its not well known that impact grenades exist. I'm pretty sure impact grenades have existed since WWI, in one form or another.
This was incredibly in detail. I've always wondered how grenades/unique grenades work and the diagrams people show are never enough. I need one taken apart in person and the mechanism shown to me to fully understand. Thank you for the hands-on demonstration and showing us how the fuse works with that broken one. I was curious on how friction would set it off but the acceleration from your hand throwing it wouldn't. This was an awesome video!
I think the smaller balls inside the larger plastic ball acts in the same way as the small lead pellets inside of a dead-blow hammer . To guarantee a solid, and steady impact force downward. (Onto the plunger)
28:06 bit of frag hits the rear berm, must be a good 30m from the grenade. I know if I had to use one of these impact sensitive grenades I'd be telling myself so firmly not to drop it that I'd definitely drop it.
It reminds me of the problem with the Italian impact fuzed grenade of world war 2. They had a very high failure rate. British troops figured the Italians painted them red so you could avoid them more easily as there often many live, unexploded grenades laying around when they advanced on Italian positions. They were referred to as ' red devils '.
western guntubers: uhm akshuyaly this ar15 clone no.271941 i bought for 50000$ lacks enough rails for my 6 laserinos and 4 scopes valgear: helo gais this is ak12 i pick up from ded rashan. is nice wepon for clearing trench. *proceeds to explain how to make improvised explosives*
packaging is quite elite,the combination of wood(notice the inside is never coated) and old style styrofoam plus sealed plastic boxes means perfect humidity control,in theory at least,they should have added more corosion protection in the plastic cases. I think they should remanufacture an updated fuse and problem solved. It's not a bad fuse system but the complexity means it probably degrades over time
I think that the RGO / RGN is my favorite grenade series too. The plastic is probably lacking UV stabilisation. I imagine it gets more brittle the longer it is exposed to light. Though having it as natural coloured plastic with no dye colouring it will make it stronger as the dyes generally weaken plastics. Hexogen is RDX for anyone who is wondering about it. It has a much higher detonation velocity than TNT so it is a natural filling for frags and especially blast grenades. It is not as stable as TNT though and is detonated more easily. It usually has a small percentage of wax in it like paraffin to stabilise it. C-4 and Semtex are also RDX based explosives though the latter also includes PETN in all the available formulas.
The pile of grenades laying on top of a package of Oreos at 27:04 is strangely comical. I didn't laugh. Just amused. Thanks for the great content on all this gear. I sometimes find myself reading ordinance disposal guides online, and will read for hours about different types of explosives. so your content is great, being able to se that gear tested. Glory to the heroes Ukraine.
Hey Val, good to see you. I was wondering about the knife shown in the video. What brand, make, model, blade length, whether you're satisfied with it, things like that. I'm a knife collector, so that always interests me. I was also a cold warrior, stationed in West Berlin in 1960 and beyond, then throughout all the spook capitals of the world, like Vienna, for the rest of the 60's. The front of our apartment building opened onto where the wall was going up, so it was a real relief to see it come down all those years ago. It sucks that empire is on the march in Europe and possibly the Pacific again. Oh well. Who said it? "Only the dead have seen the end of war". Hopefully the war for Ukrainian independence will be over soon, and the outcome will favor Ukraine and her allies. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Why is it that any channel that deal with education regarding science, engineering and outdoorsmanship are all allowed. But when valgear here combines them all in one neat package he gets banned? smh my head 😢
So intricate but so simple, this design is genius,but let down by poor production, iv been watching your channel since way before the war, so glad its got so massive and popular, and doing such good work :)
you might see a very updated version of this in the field soon,if they aren't already issued. They might have tested them via drone drops first,even more deadly
My understanding is that Soviet industry was lagging in the plastics/polymer fields and that’s the primary reason that in general these materials are very inconsistent. Definitely a disadvantage of not having a free market and having several different companies developing competing and having a robust plastics industry.
Your understanding is wrong. Soviet industry had several competitive designs in many equipement procurements, so the grenades were likely to be sourced from different enterprises. Free market is a ripoff market, and the corrupt US regime doesn't care, as the debt is born by taxpayers.😛

Plastic doesn't age very well and gets brittle over time. More modern plastics are better or at least should be. Plastics from the 70's wasn't very good in general. But you would think new production fuses would be much better.
If got two questions 😊 How does the upper react, too different temperatures and weather conditions (the upper plastic + ball and detonator)..? And also under extreme weather conditions, like extreme minus or extreme high or normal temperatures ??? THANKS IN ADVANCE & STAY SAFE! matt

UV light will break down plastics so that's something to consider.

Commonly used petrochemicals like lubricating oil and bore cleaning solvent can be incredibly damaging to plastic. Even eco-friendly solvents like acetone (used in brake clean and nail polish remover) will soften and compromise strong engineering plastics like polycarbonate.
I imagine that the Soviets did not include UV stabilisation compounds in their plastics so it would get brittle quite rapidly with heavy sun exposure.
