i had doing stupid things with 5.56mm ammo when I was 12yo i put bullet on door's hole and hit the prime with 🔨& nail 💥 and that was scratch my fingers
When I was in the Navy we had to watch ordnance safety films a lot, and in one particular film a civilian tech rep at Pax River Md was loading a 20mm round into a hot lab test barrel by hand to measure cookoff times. As the civilian rep was inserting the round into the hot barrel the round went off, during the slow motion replay all you could see was an empty left sleeve of his long sleeve lab coat wrap around his back from l to r.. The after accident report said he lost his entire arm from just below the shoulder, lost hearing and vision in left ear/eye, perforated left lung and kidney. Guy was lucky he survived!!!! Seeing those rounds peel back like they did brought this memory back. When dealing with Ordnance safety rules are written in blood.. literally.

"Don't try this at home kids." Do this at work. Then when you blow your fingers off.... you can get workman's compensation. Don't work hard! Work stupid.
Dylan Grafftey-Smith if you're replying to me, your claim is false. And instead of telling you it's false I'll tell you why. See, when WW2 started Americans and British had only 1 kind of shell: Armor Piercing and what it does is simple, go through armor. If it goes through, it would damage the crew by the shrapnel from both the armor and the shell left overs. In contrast, Japan, Russia, Germany, and France had Armor Piercing High Explosive (APHE) and it did the same thing as the AP except it had a set length of MM that the shell would explode at thus being more effective at both disabling a tank and the crew. If the shell surpassed double the armor it was supposed to penetrate, it would explode Inside the tank.

All brass cases are "chamber formed" when firing, meaning they expand until they can't anymore and then the excess pressure forces the bullet down the barrel. That's why the first stage in reloading is resizing the brass to factory spec. If there is no chamber, the full force of the explosion is applied to the brass until it fails. Sometimes hot loads (that's for you, OG) split the brass case even inside a chamber. Oh and putting one of these inside a pipe could be considered manufacturing a firearm, which I think you mentioned in another video. Don't do it. Especially in the socialist Republic of California.
LoneWanderer360 Idk about the SRC, but iirc according to federal regulations, you can make your own firearm as long as it's not an SBR, automatic, etc. I could go to the Homeless Deathspot and build a shot gun from pipe fittings.
DrivenByDiamond You're right, but I wouldn't do it in Commiefornia. You forget to dot an i or cross a T and they may look to make an example of you. Why isn't your plumbing pipe serialized? Where's your triple redundant safety? Why isn't your firing pin microstamped? Who knows how far they might take it.
And one of the reasons why brass is so good for casings is because it's thermoelastic properties allow it to quickly shrink back down just enough to be easily ejected and then as said they're soft enough to cold-form later in a resizing die.
On a farm, the other worker (18yrs old) found a full size rifle bullet (not sure what caliber). He wanted to empty the powder out and make a necklace out of it. From the workshop, I heard the sound of a power tool, then suddenly a deafening bang followed by silence. I ran over to see what happened, and found him standing in front of the vice, holding the electric drill in front of him. He was staring at the vice and looked white as a ghost and in utter shock. He slowly looked over at me, then back at the vice. So I also looked at the vice and saw shredded brass all over, with a bullet held in the jaws. After asking what happened, he explained he was trying to empty the powder, so he tried to drill a hole... right through the primer cap.
In case it is not clear to anyone reading this, there is NO point at which drilling a live rifle/pistol/shotgun primer should be considered safe. Further more, please do not ever use power tools near gun powder.
This channel reminds me of my childhood when I made lots of experiments with pellet guns. One time, I shot at steel files at very narrow angles to see the projectiles grind away.
Water ricochets are dangerous as hell. Once I shot at my grandmas pool and the damn thing ricocheted and hit a door only 2 meters from her. Her bad hearing made her not even notice but it scared the hell out of me because the pellet punched the the door very hard. After that I became obsessed with safety.
Driver7 I managed to ricochet pellet from a rottentree stump (small patch in it was still hard enough) right into the tip of my jaw. I saw it coming at me but couldn't dodge it.
I love going back through the old TFM catalog and finding little gems like this one - again. This one isn't actually that old, relatively speaking (the channel being 16 years old!), but it does have the core TFM goodness - experimenting, laid back hosts (miss you lots, Danny!) and damn-near professional grade presentation. What's not to like? (Also cool to see I thumbed-up back when it came out, too... 🙂) -Ed on the Ridge
The story Matt told you about was of an army private who used a .50BMG cartridge as a hammer to drive a nail, and it's a true story, you can find a picture of what was left of his hand after he hit the primer, looking kind of what you would expect someone's hand to look like after a tiny bomb goes off while grasping it. Don't use explosives as hammers, kids, even if that goes without saying.
This makes a good demo on what can happen if you eject too soon after a hangfire. This is why you wait ten seconds before cycling the action. Good demo, don't let the naysayers tell you otherwise.
Fun fact, I had an accident sort of similar to this with an 8mm mauser round. Shrapnel from the casing went into my neck on the left side and grazed my carotid artery. Seeing danny show that big piece of brass that separated from the case gave me the chills. The incident was 100% an accident and I was the only one injured thankfully. But yeah. Brass in the neck doesn't feel so good. Was a pleasant surprise to see Danny again. Rip buddy
I did this test about 50 years ago. I was 12. I put glue on it, laid it down, and lit it. The case went farther than the bullet. Neither could really harm you. It needs a barrel to trap all of the explosion completely behind the bullet to get full power. Gas will escape the easiest way it can go. Path of least resistance.
I suppose if you were really dedicated, you could melt it down and recast it into some blanks so you could form it back into a shell. But then again, effort. :/
Could cut the brass below the split and load a 20mm projectile. In world war 2 they cut the brass down of 30-06 and made shot gun shells for 45cal machine guns.
Awesome :) I kind of expected a bit ,ore velocity from the BMG, but I guess they put barrels on their machine guns for a reason. Have a great weekend guys!
You get velocity from higher pressure and more propellant burning, and higher pressure is much better at tearing cases apart, spilling most of the propellant before it even burns )
A few years back the army posted a safety flash about .50 cal rounds. Some guy used one of them to try to hammer a pin into a machine gun mount on a vehicle. The primer detonated and the guys hand came apart. They showed his hand and it was missing a few pieces.
on that shot, a large piece of brass flies straight up, the bullet flies [to it's perspective] right .... away from the camera & is largely obscured by the powder & smoke. Nothing goes into the gel
4:57 in my unit had warning photo's of the soldiers hand and what was left of it. You may still see it in on the wall of many Arms rooms in the U.S Army.
You joke, but I've *seen* gluten-free chick peas. 10kg box of frozen chick peas, gluten free. You know, for those people who are tired of the adverse reactions they have to normal, high-gluten chick peas prepared in a factory that's internally coated with bread flour at the start of every shift.
If that trigger mechanism wasn't fixed firmly, the brass would just fly backwards and the bullet would stay in more or less the same place. Action and reaction.
The bullet and case would fly in opposite directions from the explosion. The bullet wouldn't just stay in the same place. That makes no sense in real world physics.
Thanks guys, Great safety example. I'm amazed at just how much un-burned powder just sits around. Could you do it with a .223 and see what it does to a 2x4? I've always wondered what would happen with one of these during a mis-handling scenario.
The brass is rupturing in those patterns because the powder is lying horizontal. When detonation occurs, the flash ignites the powder and instead of burning back to front, it is top to bottom. Without the chamber, constricting the brass (sending the bullet down the barrel), the gasses are expelled upward. The bullet does still proceed out the neck of the brass, but the brass is split on the top. Seen this at several fire sights.
3:29 - This is a wonderful companion clip for "Weapons Safety Message 10-2" from 2010. That's what you're talking about at 4:55. The Joe in question was an Army Ma Deuce gunner on an MRAP, deployed in OAF, who decided to drive in a troublesome mounting pin on his pintle mount with the base of a .50 BMG AP-I silver tip round. Even this wasn't enough to either get the job done or set the round off, so he went and got a rock off the ground to use as a hammer on the nose.....as he held the round tightly in his dominant (fapping and pickle jar opening) hand....with the primer against the smaller diameter, protruding pin head... yeah. The results were similar to the canteloupe except the bones and tendons held the whole mess together better. I was an armorer for the Army and I've seen many of those types of safety bulletins when somebody gets killed or maimed unexpectedly, but that's among the shrillest in terms of wording and the ONLY one which included an injury photo and demanded it be posted publicly. It must have really pissed them off. Just go ahead and google it. But finish whatever you're eating, first.
When a fire went through a town here in Calif this last year, it hit a gun store and the rounds cooked off for quite a while. If the shell is heated to ignition, would the result be the same? I saw folks standing about a block away watching the fire. Safe or not?
safe, watched a video about that, apparently rounds not sealed in chambers are harmless, the casing is the fastest thing cuz of it being lightweight and the bullet is just thrown away, can't even go through plywood. when it's sealed and in a barrel it expands straight giving the bullet very high velocity
@@mlgjan5046 agreed. but if 10,000 rounds of ammo are going off and casings flying everywhere, is it safe? Not sure I want to stand around a watch. And if the mass behind the casing causes it to remain stationary, what happens to the bullet? Theoretically, it may be safe but then plane flight is really safe except when it isn't.
Coming soon from Taofledermausco!- the "Danny Boy Special" Cantaloupe!...the Cantaloupe with FIFTY calibres of Flavooooour! nice engineering work there sir, another great experiment from Taofledermaus!
I've seen this 100 times as a teenager. Used to burn .30 06s one at a time in old washing machines. A State Cop's Son brought boxes of them to School for us to "play" with. That was in the 70s in the 8th Grade. When we were still a free Country. Many great stories. Thanks for this great video!!
A bit more destruction than I expected. I guess the 750gr bullet provides just enough back pressure. A .30-06 probably would not have split the case. Don't ask me how I know this.
He had his hand on the receiving side of a locked and loaded .50 BMG at 3:10 I don't think that was the smartest move having the pin and fire mechanism loaded while you were loading.
If he pulled the firing pin while the bullet was on there he could easily accidentally let go or not set it up right. He needs the firing pin to be pulled back before the round is loaded because if the firing pin slipped without a bullet there then he could just reset it and not blow his hand off. Setting up the pin before would greatly reduce risk.
@@ivancorrea4984 yeah, no… you can see his hand on the other side of the melon from where the bullet is. If that pin were to get pulled he’d have his hand shot.
Love this video. wonder if you stuck the 50BMG in a gummy bear like you did the mellon. would be some great distortion to watch in slow mo. you know how much I love the slomo gummy bear shots. thanks keep on a shooting.
Before watching this video, I knew a bit of what would happen. In my armory, we used to have a safety picture warning of what not to do, showing the mangled hand of a soldier who had used a live round as a hammer. The round went off, and the casing exploded like a grenade. I have also seen the damage to a M2 which was only slightly off on the headspace. Fortunately, the person firing the weapon was wearing eye pro, and was uninjured.
I want to take a minute to thank (and welcome) the people who have taken the time to submitted non-English (and English) subtitles!

The brass is rupturing in those patterns because the powder is lying horizontal. When detonation occurs, the flash ignites the powder and instead of burning back to front, it is top to bottom. Without the chamber, constricting the brass (sending the bullet down the barrel), the gasses are expelled upward. The bullet does still proceed out the neck of the brass, but the brass is split on the top. Seen this at several fire sights.

yes, this is how a firearm works. The projectile will go the way of the lowest resistance, in tha case :forward out of the Barrel.

Even this wasn't enough to either get the job done or set the round off, so he went and got a rock off the ground to use as a hammer on the nose.....as he held the round tightly in his dominant (fapping and pickle jar opening) hand....with the primer against the smaller diameter, protruding pin head... yeah. The results were similar to the canteloupe except the bones and tendons held the whole mess together better.
I was an armorer for the Army and I've seen many of those types of safety bulletins when somebody gets killed or maimed unexpectedly, but that's among the shrillest in terms of wording and the ONLY one which included an injury photo and demanded it be posted publicly. It must have really pissed them off.
Just go ahead and google it. But finish whatever you're eating, first.
Love your sponsor!

Only three colors? What a rip.
My favorite paper clip company has six.
Best part of the video is the paperclips, three exciting colors 😂
Late af reply but also how he says "now 70 percent lead free" 😂😂
I Love slow-mo, cool video guys
That teddy bear took that shot like a boss! 😎
When a fire went through a town here in Calif this last year, it hit a gun store and the rounds cooked off for quite a while. If the shell is heated to ignition, would the result be the same? I saw folks standing about a block away watching the fire. Safe or not?
safe, watched a video about that, apparently rounds not sealed in chambers are harmless, the casing is the fastest thing cuz of it being lightweight and the bullet is just thrown away, can't even go through plywood. when it's sealed and in a barrel it expands straight giving the bullet very high velocity
@@mlgjan5046 agreed. but if 10,000 rounds of ammo are going off and casings flying everywhere, is it safe? Not sure I want to stand around a watch. And if the mass behind the casing causes it to remain stationary, what happens to the bullet? Theoretically, it may be safe but then plane flight is really safe except when it isn't.

dude i love this channel, i'm subscribing. 🤘
Be safe.
Poor teddy bear
Didn't hurt the bears bears are bullet proof!
Especially when He's Carrying USSR Flag
Girls with Teddy bear: cuddle
Boys with Teddy bear: 50.cal BMG goes burrr
Fun as Always ! Thanks.... & yeah cool music
*no teddy bears were harmed in the making of this video.*
*legal stuff applies.*
Coming soon from Taofledermausco!- the "Danny Boy Special" Cantaloupe!...the Cantaloupe with FIFTY calibres of Flavooooour!
nice engineering work there sir,
another great experiment from Taofledermaus!
Holy Cats! Melon suppressor? Taking the Risks so we don't have to.
I've seen this 100 times as a teenager. Used to burn .30 06s one at a time in old washing machines. A State Cop's Son brought boxes of them to School for us to "play" with. That was in the 70s in the 8th Grade. When we were still a free Country. Many great stories. Thanks for this great video!!
Great work fellas. As always. Love it.
A bit more destruction than I expected. I guess the 750gr bullet provides just enough back pressure. A .30-06 probably would not have split the case. Don't ask me how I know this.
Fudmottin how would someone other than yourself know this?
By experiment.
Loved the way the stuffed bunny "died".
The moral of this is, cantaloupe's make great suppressor's!😂
Cats too, ask Postal Dude....
Hey, what would happen if you add something to stabilize the area from the bullet to the shoulder? Would the brass still be destroyed?
That teddy bear was a bit of a drama queen for how hard the bullet actually hit.
Actually no. It's not too slow either.
He had his hand on the receiving side of a locked and loaded .50 BMG at 3:10 I don't think that was the smartest move having the pin and fire mechanism loaded while you were loading.
Yeah, that was really dumb
If he pulled the firing pin while the bullet was on there he could easily accidentally let go or not set it up right. He needs the firing pin to be pulled back before the round is loaded because if the firing pin slipped without a bullet there then he could just reset it and not blow his hand off. Setting up the pin before would greatly reduce risk.
@@ivancorrea4984 yeah, no… you can see his hand on the other side of the melon from where the bullet is. If that pin were to get pulled he’d have his hand shot.
Notification squad
Love this video. wonder if you stuck the 50BMG in a gummy bear like you did the mellon. would be some great distortion to watch in slow mo. you know how much I love the slomo gummy bear shots. thanks keep on a shooting.
Before watching this video, I knew a bit of what would happen. In my armory, we used to have a safety picture warning of what not to do, showing the mangled hand of a soldier who had used a live round as a hammer. The round went off, and the casing exploded like a grenade. I have also seen the damage to a M2 which was only slightly off on the headspace. Fortunately, the person firing the weapon was wearing eye pro, and was uninjured.
Subscribed for the short sweet and TO THE POINT videos. I love when I don't have to fast forward through a bunch of talking and advertisements
0:27 when all your sponsors are worthless so you choose the best of them
Saw a picture online of a Soldier that used a .50 Cal round as a punch to remove a stuck pin. Was not a pretty picture!
It’s a crying shame that paper clips aren’t 73% lead free.
Hello, how did you make or where did you get the system to hit the bullet ?
Rip Danny :( 💔 ❤
Dead Teddy.
是的
B. Eder cause of death: bludgeoned to death by bullet
Lol “ there you go German specs”
Idk why but i lost it when you showed us the paperclips and said theres know 70 percent free🤣 its to early lol
lol
Jahcobey Kirby it’s too early for me to be reading your mess of a comment
They were 70 something % free of a specific material not 70% off in price
Sponsored by paperclips??? What year is this?
Cool. Now wondering what would happen if you just had primer and no powder? In like pistol or rifel?
