Barrels do several things. They provide a supporting structure for the bullet case so that it does not rupture, keep the bullet under acceleration for length of the barrel allowing the powder to burn, and provide rifling to spin the bullet to keep it from tumbling and keyholing the target.
The damage will be even less if the bullet is just laying there loose. Fixing the bullet like that will allow all the energy to go forward and sideways, but not backwards.
Exactly what I thought. In videos without it held down the bullet goes forward and the casing goes backwards at the same speed. But because the casing can’t move backwards all the energy is now given to the forward momentum. So he’s doubled the power of each of these cartridges
Put glue on it lay it down and light it. Case will go farther than the bullet. Not far!!!!! I did this test when I was 12.100+ times. Bullet can't really hurt you without a barrel to trap the explosion behind the bullet.
I thought this too. Had a friend throw 22LR rounds into a camp fire once. I was hit with a projectile barely felt anything. It was basically a small firecracker.
A bullet needs a barrel for it to be functional, it's just basically a small frag grenade, I seen more damage done with the back side of the cartridge by the primer going off then the actual bullet hitting a object, seen the primer end blow holes 🕳 thru sheetmetal ,while the bullet just bounced off
This happened as an accident when my dad was test firing 20mm canon when he was in the fleet air arm many years ago. Long story short, the primer end of the canon shell castrated and removed parts of the lower bowel of his work mate. He spent many months in hospital. My dad just got peppered with cordite burns on his face
Back in 1976 or so, the western auto and a few other business burned hard in the downtown, the fire was later deemed arson…anyway there was a lot of ammo in the store and firefighters were having a hard time fighting it due to rounds flying all over….don’t remember anything about injuries but it made thing’s certainly more interesting!
When we were kids (teens) we found a lot of 12 ga. rounds, we got the idea to tape them to the ends of our daisy BB guns to set the primers off, we didn’t dare shoot each other with shot, so we pried open the ends and poured out the shot and filled them with dirt, then wads of paper, then pieces of wood, then tooth paste….taped the shells to keep them from bursting all over…big fun!
So every gun has a different barrel designed to be most effective for its bullet. And the the length of the barrel, or the choke for a 12 gauge etc also makes a difference. With a barrel, they all would pass right through. All results would be the same and rather boring as we all know what will happen. By removing the barrel the comparisons seem more equal and the results somewhat surprising. As we see the 7.62 is dangerous with or without a barrel. And a 22 is pretty harmless outside of a gun. He did a great job in this demonstration. I like the tests and would love to see more like this.
Thank you, I was really confused why 22 didn’t penetrate even 0,5mm. I thought something is not the same as shooting from gun, but couldn’t pinpoint it. Your comment did it 👍🏻
It's old ammo. The 22 lr is old russian garbage from 40 years ago with the powder mostly gone. Look how much powder is burning afterward in the 12 gauge shots. New good ammo would have the 22 going right through
It's pointless to evaluate cartridges outside of the firearms they're designed for. Also, telling everyone not to do this at home is tantamount to telling them that they can do it anywhere else.
@@taowroland8697 Wow! You don't get it? It has nothing to do with garbage ammo, its because the case is not supported - the gas just explodes the case and very little is actually used to push the bullet! Also if 22LR survived 40 years and shoots thats pretty good ammo!
Wow. I have watched many of your videos. They were all fun to watch. This one was equally as crazy as the last time with exploded bits, i like it. Many bangs pops and other things.
I did that almost a decade ago with a 9mm luger round. About 20 feet maybe 25 away from a foam boogy board. Wrapped it to a pellet rifle and it shot but only went in the board just enogh to stick under the fabric layer into the foam.

.12 function as a flamethrower in case in don't destroy the target properly lol Btw you forgot to mention that this happens because in every case the cartridge has a surface to rest against. In other words, if you would just threw them lose into a bonfire, as an example, what would go off would be the case not the bullet itself. The bullet would jump off with minimal speed and distance since it's a lot heavier than the case. Cheers.
This experiment is not a standard for measuring the strength of ammunition...it must be tested with a weapon because its strength is in the gases trapped inside the barrel.
Here’s the thing fellas. If a bullet goes off outside of a firearm, more than likely there won’t be anything holding the casing in place. Since the casing is heavier than the projectile the casing will fly off leaving the projectile behind (roughly). In this set up the casing is still being fixed in a stationary position so essentially you’re shooting a gun with a 0” barrel
I guess it's the other way, the casing is usually lighter, which is why it indeed moves faster than bullet when the round is not contained. Since most of similar tests concern cases such as free ammo in fire, it's interesting to see also this variant. If it can be called 0 length barrel gun is to consider since it's missing chamber and casing can freely expand or split, which takes away most of the energy, compared to something like shooting a revolver without a barrel.
Yes I actually wanted to bring up that point as well the chamber is what encases the bullet and keeps its form. That’s why you are able to reload ammo. Regardless this test is useless for a real world scenario. The best way to test this is to heat up the ammo with a torch
Around 1960 someone tossed a .22 short into the fireplace, it popped and my older brother received 1/4” sq. of brass into upper middle chest. Ol’doc Whittacre dug it out in his office. Of course it was lucky not to have struck his neck or eye…
That was an interesting video you forgot the one thing you need to take in consideration when a bullet goes off and it’s not in the chamber of a gun meaning just lying around with nothing holding it in place. The cartridge is usually the part that flies off the bullet is heavier than the brass or the casing doesn’t usually have that much velocity
@@cliffords2315 as I stated in my comment, Greg means that in a true exploding cartridge, there wouldn’t be a jig holding the base of the cartridge firm against a solid base like in the video. In the video, the cartridge isn’t allowed to travel at all, only the bullet. That’s not what would happen in a real life scenario. It’s Newtonian physics. For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. The cartridge in the video isn’t allowed to move backwards or anywhere else for the matter. Which means that when the powder explodes, the forces of that explosion have only one place to go, forward. And that’s more or less like having it chambered in a sawn off barrel. You can saw off some double barrels all the way down to the trigger allowing the shell to poke out the end. While the explosion wont result in intense pressure behind the pellets because there is in all intents and purposes no barrel, the pellets will still travel forward because the shell is chambered and sitting firmly and locked in the chamber not allowing the forces the explosion to travel anywhere else. So I’m layman terms basically just like the experiment in the video.
The video is interesting, but in reality it is not faithful to demonstrate how far the ammunition penetrates, since much of the driving power is lost when the cartridge is not contained in the weapon. All the energy that causes the pod to be destroyed, if it were in the weapon, would add to the momentum of the projectile. Anyway, the video is quite illustrative Best regard
I'd like to see a two-piece safety pin system. One sits in front of the striker orifice plus the one shown. It would make it less likely to accidentally let it slip and have a detonation.
Movies where they're shooting holes in the wall, with rounds that were thrown into a fire or some such. it's always been obvious that with the case completely unsupported, you're looking at about the speed of a baseball with far less mass.
Yes, any cartridge needs a barrel but supporting the head of the cartridge in your fixture mimics, if only a little, a barrel. Most occurrences of cartridges firing outside a gun barrel involve fire. Heat a cartridge up until the powder ignites. In an unsupported scenario, the cartridge case would move probably more than the bullet resulting in decreasing the speed of the bullet considerably. In other words, the projectile would do considerably less damage.
That 762x39 keyholed really cause more damage than I thought, I figured that pistol rounds into the faster burning powder it would be a little more effective it's interesting tests thank you!
I have a scare over my heart I got five years ago that still hurts from a 7.63 x 39 that went off while polishing it. my hands hurt for a couple of weeks.

The barrel of a gun doesn't accelerate the bullet, just makes sure it goes straight
@@Echo_8054 I'm pretty sure that the presence of the barrel affects the bullet acceleration during the combustion of the propellant

This along with my comment.
No it needs a chamber to contain the expansion of the cartridge. The barrel is only a means of directing and maintaining the flight of the projectile.

I once exploded just little 6 mm flobert cartrige on the ground with a wooden stick and I had that copper srapnel in my leg like 2 months 😀
That 12ga was not operating at pressure, so little if any of the powder burned. The force was almost all from that big primer.

This is why DMR / Sniper rifles use long barrel
Would have been more relevant had the metal target been restrained properly instead of yielding. But no surprises there.
