Take a poll to help me choose what Backyard Scientist gear to sell! goo.gl/forms/9B...
Thanks to my friend Travis for being awesome and letting me use his property to film. Honestly this dude is awesome, ever time I go over there the lawn just gets destroyed, things catch fire that aren't supposed to, and hes just a generally cool guy, thanks Travis!
This is part 2 from my liquid metal bullets experiment! Last week we tested how these bullets preform by shooting them into a tank of water, this week we got to have some fun! We shot watermelons, cinderblocks, starting fluid, and a bunch more. Its a long video, but totally worth staying till the end because you get to see me choke on a bug haha.
The first test was shooting bullets at a watermelon. We shot Sodium, Potassium, and a special alloy of sodium & potassium thats a liquid! Its basically the closest thing to shooting mercury out of a gun!
These bullets are insane!
For this video I bought 150g of potassium for $325 , and 500g of sodium for $150. Each bullet holds 1g of metal. I also had to buy regular .45 hollowpoint ammo to modify ~.50c/bullet. At these prices, each potassium bullet costs $2.50 Each sodium bullet cost .80c. The liquid alloy is 25% sodium, 75% potassium.
These bullets must be stored under dried and degassed solvent, blanketed in a dry, and inert atmosphere. Storing the bullets in regular oil or other hydrocarbon solvent will quickly destroy the entire bullet and casing in less than a week. Common oils and solvents are slightly permeable to oxygen and moisture which will react with the alkali metals to form corrosive hydroxides which will etch the zinc in the brass casing. Oil will enter the casing and inactivate the smokeless powder. After 1 week 1/10 of the bullets stored under oil did not fire.

I totally missed the opportunity to call these "explodium bullets"!
Mhm
+TheBackyardScientist- lol. to really see which bullet was the best you should have shot 4 individual cinder blocks.
You know, this sounds really strange but if you
fire one of the sodium/potassium bullets at a person, then wouldn't there be an explosion?
+TheBackyardScientist I see what you did there...
+TheBackyardScientist You're a pretty good shot there. I wonder if hollow point rifle rounds would make a bigger boom.
Backyard scientist adding things to the “war crimes” chart
Wouldnt it already be on the list, it might be considered a chemical weapon
@@bobfels5343 probably not chemical since it’s metal, but probably in the same category of inhuman weapons like flame throwers
Yeah, explosive bullets are warcrimes.

Shoot into ballistic gel, since its mostly water, and see what kind of fireworks result.

Against hard targets use lead.
Against water filled soft targets (like humans) use sodium potassium bullets.

Lets have a poll. If you think I should wear safety glasses complain below. If you believe my safety practices on private property are none of your business, leave a like!
+TheBackyardScientist You probably should wear safety glasses :^)
leaving my complaint. glasses seems smart to wear. Hell you're wearing hearing pro why not eye pro too.
+TheBackyardScientist You're grown, so if you want to risk your eyesight for no real reason, that's your business, however, there were a couple instances in the video of you turning with the weapon in your hand and subsequently pointing at the house, in the direction of your friends. Cool video, but for your own safety, your friends safety, and the image of gun owners everywhere, please consider some safer practices.
+TheBackyardScientist You really, really need to be wearing safety glasses. Totally up to you whether you want to or not but there is a good reason that most of us wear them for stuff like this. America may have loose gun laws but they make up for it with expensive healthcare laws.
+TheBackyardScientist At the time I'm writing this comment, your video has over half a million views. What fraction of your demographic is under 15 years old? You have the right to not care about your own safety, but consider the responsibility you have as a role model.

They're also a war crime! Woo!
@@S8tan7 Full metal jacket would be legal…
The lead hollow point would be just as illegal…
@@allangibson8494 I think it falls under liquid metal bullets similar to mercury bullets.

Looks to me like the explosive rounds weren’t as stable and he had to get closer to hit the target consistently
@@Dominus_Umbrae you could be right and you most likely are. I started wondering about why the military wouldn't use them, but Leads stability at farther ranges and kinetic energy is the obvious winner.

@@arnulfobeltran3089 because there are world wide rules if it comes to what kind of weapons and munition are allowed to use. And my guess, this kind of munition is totally not acceptable.
@@dashboardfacts3965 I think you might be placing too much faith in established rules which satisfy only the human ego.
While true that mitigations in forms of rules exist, the reality is that all is fair in war.
at 1:16 I find more interesting on how the watermelon splits apart. As an avid gardener this is cool. It seems to split along the lines of the melon perfectly along the lines of the fruit, which on a musk melon or cantaloupe are more present and obvious.
People are always looking for a deadly round that won't go through walls and do damage to unintended victims...
That was pretty much my exact comment on the original video of him making these haha...perfect for civilian combat zones
@@koreyhayden1368 Yes, they look like they will be very effective against the civilians! :)
people also buy Hollow Points because they don't want to fill them in again.
I'm a bit concerned about the catching things on fire but they definitely seem to dissipate their energy very fast.
It becomes a bomb the second it hits water, snipers could use this to literally disarm hostage holders in such a way that nobody dies
So ideally, if you could somehow encapsulate the metals into the lead core instead of having them in the nose, there might be enough weight to produce some penetrating power while keeping the payload intact.
Tip: don't try to rob this guys house.
Rob a regular guy's house with a gun: gets shot and dies
Rob his house: gets shot and explode
well then again he has multiple (weapons)

😂
What about using those on ballistics gel?
Michael Runde wouldn't work that well because ballistic gelatin wouldn't create a reaction with the sodium or potassium
Just as gaming.inc said, ballistic gel is a good substitute for flesh because of its physic properties, not chemical ones.
Shooting a piece of raw meat would be interesting, tho.
Michael Runde What about using them for the death penalty, head shots?
João Serafim its only a good flesh substitute for bullet, with blades its either too easy to cut or too difficult

@@AR-GuidesAndMore I'm pretty sure Kevin was shooting a 1911 in the video, which is a recoil operated gun, and doesn't really have a gas system to help it cycle, instead relying on the power of the cartridge itself to cycle. Like the original commenter said, since they can't reliably cycle a semi-auto it would probably be best to use these in something like a revolver.

@@goonish_riffs r/woooosh
Wow this was really cool. The liquid metal alloy in particular gave me really strong 40k Bolter vibes. I wonder if a bigger or different shaped bullet could allow for a larger charge to increase velocity and/or provide more penetration prior to detonation.
i wish you could redo this with demolition ranch.
archmagetyler Matt even visited a few weeks back, when he did the molten metal squirt gun video (you can see it on Mat's vlog channel). Either we're in for an amazing demo ranch episode, or these two just wasted a huge potential for awesome...
I am going to correct you right here... The reason why the filled bullets failed was they explode on the surface on a cinder block. The bullets are fragmented and it is not a matter of the fill metal being softer. It is a matter of the bullet shedding mass too soon when it chooses to fragment. The normal lead bullet, even the hollow point doesn't fragment correctly under normal circumstances hitting a cinder block.
This is sort of the reason why Reactive Armor works the way it does. The exploding bullet on a "Hard" target works against you if the bullet explodes too soon.
Now considering Chemistry and what you get when you mix Sodium or Potassium with water especially under those stresses you actually are making the water in a body itself explode. While against Vests and Jackets these rounds would be sort of questionable in effectiveness you make any "wet" hits and the target will be suffering amputations. There are secondary legal implications behind ammo like this. There is something you can try to control the burn of the round... epoxy coating the tip to form a shatter on impact plug. Also you can try putting a ball bearing glued into the tip as a seal and anvil too. This might get you into a cinder block before the explosion spoils the penetration.
An idea would be to make the explosive fill material out of cesium. It would not explode on hard targets but explode upon moisture (soft targets).
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Cesium is a bad choice. I would opt for a metal with a low melting point instead of trying for a chemical reaction. Mercury would be a great choice followed by Gallium but both would need to be encapsulated since both react with other metals and would have a short if not dramatically short shelf life. Also there is a huge draw back to the fact both metals would leave a toxic residue behind. Cesium and Sodium are also WAY too reactive to be safe to handle unless you want to make these in a sealed chamber using inert gas to not set off either metal in its pure state to handle them.

wonder what these would do vs flesh since there's a lot of water in it? Shoot a ham hock or steak?
USonuMabeaCh it would be very very bad. as in over 100 years ago an international ban was put on weapons like these in warfare
who are you going to kill? 😂😂
If they came into contact with any blood the reaction could be especially violent, since blood plasma is about 80% water.
And USonuMabeaCh, I'm with you on wanting to see a test on some meat - particularly ham as it reacts to impacts and explosions very much like human flesh. After all, pigs hearts are almost identical to ours - to the point where they can be transplanted into humans.
Yes
Unlike the melon flesh should stay intact longer giving the metals more time to react makeing the explosion more pronouced and distinguishing it from the rounds energy on high speed. Definatly worth exploring
Do cesium bullets!
How about Francium?

I think Francium is highly radioactive, so storing them would be very difficult due to their short half-life.
Correct. That's kind of a TLDR version of the pointlessly-verbose thing that I said.
But yes, half-life of only 22 minutes isn't the best for a bullet.
Opt for Cesium ... Fr's abundance in the natural world is amazingly low and is only "easily" observed when held in check by laser beams in a magnetic field. You better be in a 0% humidity scenario or it'll burn you up before it ever makes it into the casing.

Sodium (NA) has the most powerful aftermath (due to the after-flame). But the metal alloy has a bigger impact

The heat from the reaction with the air probably damaged the integrity of the bullet while it burns in the air, so it starts to melt the bullet. Now think of the watermelon as flesh. We are mostly water which potassium and sodium are volatile in. This would be devastating to flesh and organs but would be against rules of engagement because if it was not a kill shot it would be a torturous death considering the poisoning of the blood stream on top of burns and damage to the tissue. Thanks for the video. Now I don't have to worry about testing it out to know wut will happen. Skip trials lol

It would be interesting to see in the dark the sodium-potassium alloy bullet shot up in the air, obviously in like an empty desert for safety reasons.
You should try a pork shoulder to see if tissue has enough moisture to have the same effect.
As I am watching this you have 4.6 million subscribers, the video has 4.6 million views, and the video has 6.4 thousand comments! INTERESTING! Congratulations mate!
If we're going to be honest; I'm pretty sure those potassium bullets could be lethal beyond imagination just because of the metal. I mean, the reason most youtubers use a watermelon is because it matches the consistency and (loosely,) composition of a human head. If it made a melon EXPLODE, just imagine the horror it could do to someone if they're shot with it. If you're shot in the shoulder: you lose an arm. If you're shot ANYWHERE in the torso, you've basically died. I'd like to see how this works in ballistics gel.
+Mellon Head Similar in concept to the Glaser type round, but the reactivity of the metal adds a whole other dimension. Pretty darn cool, very well done!
+Mellon Head the human skull is far tougher than a melon rind. people use water melons for targets because they are relatively easy to hit, readily available, make a big showy mess with about any center fire bullet you shoot them with.

@@specificorb3 that’s literally why hollow points where invented, to inflict more pain by making the wound canal multiple times bigger by the slug expanding, if hollow points aren’t considered cruel, these won’t be.
@@JoeKurr5 there's a difference between shrapnel and a literal chemical based explosion that produces not only a shockwave but releases enough thermal energy to start a fire holopoints are much more humane than literally cauterizing someone's insides with a small explosion that isn't guaranteed an instant kill, hollow points don't incite an exothermic chemical reaction.
@@JoeKurr5 picture getting shot, it explodes inside you, simultaneously cauterizing it you don't immediately die from the wound or bleeding out but as the cavity slowly bleeds in the remaining unreacted bits of, potassium/sodium get exposed to more blood which causes them to continue reacting and burning you from inside. holopoints just break up into bits. one is much much worse. sodium is a very very soft metal you can break it up with your fingernails it can and most likely will break into pieces just like a holopoint when it enters your body and likely will have dispersed too much energy to exit my guy.

***** I feel like you're talking about superhaxornova.
Love how UA-cam demonetizes tons of channels for gun safety issues but this guy turns around with a handgun towards his camera guy after every shot...
Because according to gun safety, there's no reason to have a full magazine loaded if you plan on shooting ONE bullet. He is literally loading one bullet.
@@ifaa5755 look up the rules to gun safety troll
I mean Official Duck Studios exists

So basically you just made DIY Hollow Points...
