I’m 70 years old and when I was 12 I got a chemistry set for Christmas. Using some of the ingredients and some I sourced in other places, my friends and I made stuff like this in my bedroom. By sheer luck, my parents home survived my youth unscathed.
😂 My brothers and I, we were also future engineers, and got into all kinds of mischief, but thankfully we never got into rocketry. Mainly due sourcing the materials. Or I’m sure it would’ve been bad 😂.
My parents got me a huge chemistry set when I was 9. I viewed it as a mix random things and see what happened set. The last thing I did with it was I made some sort of noxious black goo that ate into the dining room table and hardened into purple crystals. Both the chem set and the table got tossed out.
I’m 62. I learned about the basics of gunpowder when I was about 12. Don’t know why, but my mom had a bottle of saltpeter in the kitchen. I mixed it with sulfur from my chemistry set and charcoal briquettes that I ground up. I got in trouble.
@@LuoJun2 same formula I used. I lived near the oilfields and there was a sulfur dump that we used. After we ran out of saltpeter from my chemistry set, my friend asked his mother to buy some at the drugstore,so we had a quart jar to work with. Briquettes were the final ingredient!
UA-cam gave me a strike for my gunpowder video. I got the strike removed on appeal and then they struck it again! Not gonna lie, seeing all the other UA-camrs making videos on gunpowder and explosives without issue is really galling.
@theCodyReeder Your videos getting removed is what’s made me the most paranoid. It really sucks how excessively they targeted you. It also leaves it incredibly ambiguous on what is or isn’t allowed.
Howdy. My channel specializes in making, as we like to call it. “Antique muzzleloading propellent” We focus on 19 century powders being that was the hight of black powder development globally. I really enjoyed your video.
I really love videos with minorly dangerous incidents like what happened here because they highlight for the uninitiated WHY you never point a gun at someone. It doesn't matter how "safe" it is, things like this happen sometimes, even with modern weaponry, and it's always better for it to go off not facing you. Even dirt can set off safe'd modern weaponry without warning. Thankfully I know this from an incident where no one was harmed.
I'm sure you're working on this project seriously and doing it safe/right/legal, but the idea of HTME ending up on even more watchlists is kinda funny to me, personally. I find the history of firearms pretty fascinating, looking forward to the rest of the series, hope it's not too stressful on you with all the UA-cam stuff.
3:00 There's a description of vikings doing this in the Norwegian Sagas. It was during a siege of a castle. They caught birds who had nests in the castle and used wax to glue sulfur to their wings.
Middle of the video I get an add for a game that you shoot at hordes of enemies with a mini gun. -UA-cam. “No videos about guns” -Also UA-cam. “Watch these adds about guns”
I imagine it's gonna be pretty hard to go further with weapons technology based on youtube's arbitrary and vague rules but it could open up an interesting way to collaborate with historic weapons experts that have examples and can go over the history of them. That way you can still showcase how they influenced modern technology that isn't going to bring the banhammer
On the bright side, there is an exception for muzzle-loading black powder rifles. 18 U.S.C. 912(a) (3) states that the following condition qualifies as an "Antique Firearm" and not subject to the same regulations: "any muzzle loading rifle, muzzle loading shotgun, or muzzle loading pistol, which is designed to use black powder, or a black powder substitute, and which cannot use fixed ammunition"
Which does include a number of repeating firearms (like harmonica rifles and cap and ball revolvers etc). Flint lock repeaters and fully automatic rifles were in military service in 1798…(flintlock metal storm…).
the bamboo log!!!! bam boo log! packed full of it, wood plug on one end and a few river rocks on the open end sealed with clay and another bamboo plug... sells enemy bamboo to burn in kiln... ... BAM BOO!
burning of anything is a crime, so... gets given the BAM-BOO log, doesn't know till its to late.

Yes, they are. They're explicitly defined as firearms, they're just also specifically exempted from the GCA and NFA, so they aren't regulated in the same way as other firearms. But the law is extremely clear that they are still firearms
You see, U.S. Law, not Japan, not England, not Australia... YT needs to keep it's ass covered worldwide, they need to comply to the laws from every country they operate on. True, most of theyr guidelines are shit made to allow BS bans and to prevent loosing the monopoly from bigger, more profitable channels (keeping newer and more creative people out), but this one, and EXCLUSIVELLY THIS ONE, I can understand, and sort-of agree, given the platform's legal responsabilities.
@@carloshenriquezimmer7543 In addition to satisfying all those varied laws, youtube also wants to not panic their advertisers about their precious ads appearing to "endorse" what they might see as controversial topics.
As an Amateur Chinese Inner Alchemy Practitioner and a weapons enthusiast, the creation of the Black powder was aligned with 外丹术 (a branch of "Chinese Alchemy" that takes the outside-of-body medicine / elixir niche, using said medication to achieve a higher level of inner energy, which didn't quite work out as they thought, as our ancestors used to think that minerals like HgO, As4S4, and 6 other minerals were safe for consumption, and we should not judge those uses with an modern view. However those minerals are still used for driving out ghosts and evil spirits, and to my experience and knowledge, this does actually work)
This is awesome, so glad you decided to cover this very important technological development. If you aren't already a member, you might consider joining Pyrotechnics Guild International (PGI) and attending next year's convention to present your work in a screening, seminar or workshop.
I believe that this would qualify as an accidental discharge, seeing as it was their device malfunctioning, not an action on their part causing it to go off. No negligence, just bad luck, but good safety practice prevented injury 🙂 I do like your comment though, accidental fire crossbow shot was not on my bingo card either 😂
Despite me laughing, there was a moment of worry after that happened. While I was talking on camera, I almost realized you could hear the rope creaking just before it failed. Thank goodness it was pointed down range.
I really hope the series can continue and YT doesn't kill it. It's weird to me that something like how to build a cannon (even if you don't show all the steps) may get you in trouble, when TV shows like MythBusters did it for 10 years. How many wood, duct tape, and metal cannons and other improvised fire arms did they build and show in a great detail on that show and it was fine
Early gunpowder weapons were designed to burn the enemy rather than explode to kill, so the weapons in the video have a long burning time, but there are also weapons similar to landmines that rely on fragmentation explosion damage
I remember watching a kids show in he 80's, in Canada no less, where they were showing how fireworks worked, and then gave the recipe for blackpowder, with correct ratios and everything.....yes, it worked...
I watch a lot of firearms channels, and tho im subd with the bell I got no notification of this. It did show on my feed but... I get branon Herrera and demo ranch and the like notified. Keep it up.
As a mid teenager 40 years ago we made gunpowder (poor attempt) and salt peter fuses, it was great fun. but we did get arrested by the anti-terrist heavys. released uncharged . When the CID asked my mum about what i was doing she said i was very keen on chemistry. It was when you could take a note from your mum to the chemists saying please sell my son salt peter for the garden. As kids we never made anything near the optimal mix but energy release was mesmorizing.
Interesting as always :) For fire arrows, have a look at a channel called Tod's Workshop and specifically the video "Real Medieval Fire Arrows! (Sorry Hollywood)". Tod doesn't give step by step instructions but obviously knows what he's doing, Tod implies that it's saltpeter with fats/resins which produce the desired results rather than using gunpowder.
Reminds me of the video Tods Workshop did a while back on fire arrows. Looking at very similar developments but from a European perspective. Fascinating stuff. (The scariest line in the recipe he used was "Add arsenic if you want.").
Idk, from what I remember, muskets(I know they have specific names but I want to be broad) aren't considered firearms, I mean I saw a video of Brandon Herrera where he said you can buy it through the mail, no legal problems, and he's a gun guy so he would know the laws surrounding firearms very well. So I think you're good on that musket.
The ad deciding to play right at the end of your "Let’s see how far we can go before the channel gets banned" sentence really had me worried there for half a second 😅
You should create a "How to make everything - war" channel and there it could be age restricted and allow you to explore these projects. That being said for algorithm wise you will always have to have one weapon based project going at the same time as other projects but it could create for alot of opportunities to direct the viewers between the two channels and keep them within the HTME sphere
There may be a time when you will have to specialize channels anyway to keep a clear direction, thinking HTME - beverages (mead/wine/tea/coffee/soda), HTME - Furniture/construction (advancements in joinery and anything to do with construction), HTME - technology (electricity to analog to digital covering vacuum tubes, oscillators, diodes, transistors and silicon), HTME - medical (antibiotics, vaccines, rna breakthroughs like from biontech, crispr)
If you place a black powder fuse inside a paper straw or long paper tube it burns at an extremely accelerated rate. and is good for connecting multiple fireworks that you want to go off at the same time.
A few episodes later: How to Make Everything- Recreating the Trinity Atomic Bomb.....UA-cam: " Umm, Andy , what are You doing with that 140 lbs of Uranium 235?" Andy:" Some stuff, wanna watch?"
Todd from Todd's Workshop and Todd Cutlery some weeks ago uploaded a video about medieval fire arrows, and more recently about rocket arrows. The guy is a practical archaeologist we could say. You should check him out.
@corvotheblack9749 it was a Korean weapon from I believe the 13th or 14th century that fired a bunch or rocket propelled arrows all at once. Mythbusters did a video on it years ago if you want to check that out.
For your fuses you should try a 60/40 mix of kno3 to sugar absorbed into the string, in my experience it works much better than black powder for fuses.
The video is not about guns, it's about a mode of transportation which delivers a small amount of lead very quickly. Very efficient for fishing weight makers in a hurry.
As someone who watches A LOT of guntuber channels, saying "gun" and other words will get your video limited ads; on the bright side, you might still get gun-related ads lol
Brandon Herrera got a video removed for something similar, probably gonna happen here FYI. It's so dumb because wikihow literally has a step by step process
TBF, Brandon effectively gave instructions and a shopping list to make a literal pipe b*mb and then also had it detonate next to him while he hid behind a piece of plastic. Even in a very understanding version of this site, that would be a problem lol.
You gotta make a shen qiang, the older kind of handgonne used in China that instead of a bullet often shot an arrow made of ironwood. We have a bunch of surviving ones.
The thing is. They use the stuff, they don't make it. That is why Matt stopped doing the homemade shotgun shells so many years ago, he started getting strikes for them.
If Brandon Herrera's recreation of the Shinzo Abe incident is anything to go off of, where UA-cam draws the line is in showing content that the viewer could use to functionally recreate the dangerous item. Exact ratios, links to vendors of the components, full assembly instructions, that sort of stuff. It's ok to go "gunpowder is an ancient technology that was traditionally formed from these three ingredients". It's not ok to go "so you mix X grams of this, Y grams of that, Z grams of the other, there's links to everything in the description. Ok, let's hide behind a plastic jug and fire this mf p*pe b*mb!"
it's also important to note that the guidelines say "firearm" not "gun" and that a black powder musket isn't a "firearm" as defined by the federal government.
I wouldn't assume that UA-cam is using the strict legal definition of a firearm. A lot seems up to the subjective interpretation of the manual reviewer.
elliot fire baskets are easier with forge welding four bars, like a twist cage handle, same idea. very nice hot cuts btw. i was impressed no cap as the kids say
@@ElliotKrueger hows your forge welding chops? i figure a four way stack with spot welds to make a basket with enough meat to draw out a socket at one end and bodkin point at the other would be easiest.
@@RedDogForge Honestly, I need to improve my forge welding technique. I think I need to focus on keeping a clean, low oxygen environment to prevent scaling during a weld, but I'll have to give that a try!
There are all sorts of tutorials on You-Tube how to make black powder. And for what it is worth, when I was young you simply went to the drug store, where you could buy jars of Sulphur, Charcoal and Potassium Nitrate while the people behind the counter just said, "Be careful!"

@@Mold____AscorbicAcid how did it turn out?
It’s worth noting the ATF doesn’t count black powder weapons as fire arms
Pretty sure that only applies to antique style weapons. You can't use black powder cartridges and pretend it's suddenly a black powder weapon.
@@Imaboss8ballbut you kinda can't use blackpowder in modern guns. The blackpowder doesn't burn fully, leaving a layer of char.
@@No.Good.Nicknameblack powder metal cartridges did exist before smokeless powder, but were rarely used due to differing problems.

Its also worth noting your allowed to make any firearm you can legally own. Like semi auto rifles. You just can't sell or distribute them
The channel “Tod’s Workshop” shows how real fire arrows were constructed.
For a first attempt at a fire arrow, it's pretty good actually.
I'd really like to see them try to make one from scratch following that historic recipe Todd was talking about
Mythbusters episodes are on UA-cam now and they have demonstrated how to make a cannon out of a tree and ice

I'm sure this series will lead to a well thought out comment section.
We're at a turning point in this series
As someone who watches A LOT of guntuber channels, saying "gun" and other words will get your video limited ads; on the bright side, you might still get gun-related ads lol
Brandon Herrera got a video removed for something similar, probably gonna happen here FYI. It's so dumb because wikihow literally has a step by step process
TBF, Brandon effectively gave instructions and a shopping list to make a literal pipe b*mb and then also had it detonate next to him while he hid behind a piece of plastic. Even in a very understanding version of this site, that would be a problem lol.
Very cool. Ty
respect the commitment to the initial goals despite censorship. screw the platform
You gotta make a shen qiang, the older kind of handgonne used in China that instead of a bullet often shot an arrow made of ironwood. We have a bunch of surviving ones.
Your awesome be safe out there good luck to you all
If guys like Kentucky Ballistics, Hickok45, Demolition Ranch can make videos, then so can you. You should reach out to them for tips!
The thing is. They use the stuff, they don't make it.
That is why Matt stopped doing the homemade shotgun shells so many years ago, he started getting strikes for them.
If Brandon Herrera's recreation of the Shinzo Abe incident is anything to go off of, where UA-cam draws the line is in showing content that the viewer could use to functionally recreate the dangerous item. Exact ratios, links to vendors of the components, full assembly instructions, that sort of stuff. It's ok to go "gunpowder is an ancient technology that was traditionally formed from these three ingredients". It's not ok to go "so you mix X grams of this, Y grams of that, Z grams of the other, there's links to everything in the description. Ok, let's hide behind a plastic jug and fire this mf p*pe b*mb!"
cool video! Maybe show some pictures of ancient Chinese black powder weapons.
it's also important to note that the guidelines say "firearm" not "gun" and that a black powder musket isn't a "firearm" as defined by the federal government.
I wouldn't assume that UA-cam is using the strict legal definition of a firearm. A lot seems up to the subjective interpretation of the manual reviewer.
elliot fire baskets are easier with forge welding four bars, like a twist cage handle, same idea.
very nice hot cuts btw. i was impressed no cap as the kids say
Thank you! I think you're right, it may have better a better approach.
@@ElliotKrueger hows your forge welding chops?
i figure a four way stack with spot welds to make a basket with enough meat to draw out a socket at one end and bodkin point at the other would be easiest.
@@RedDogForge Honestly, I need to improve my forge welding technique. I think I need to focus on keeping a clean, low oxygen environment to prevent scaling during a weld, but I'll have to give that a try!
the medicinal properties are unbelievable!
Hey I suggest looking into Todd cutlers videos on fire arrows, cage arrows were not very common because they're not cheap to make.
I believe that legally, muzzle-loading black powder weapons aren't considered 'guns', but rather 'instruments of destruction' or something similar.
"let's see how far we can go before we get banned"
-That's a bold strategy cotton, let's see if it pays off for him
There are all sorts of tutorials on You-Tube how to make black powder. And for what it is worth, when I was young you simply went to the drug store, where you could buy jars of Sulphur, Charcoal and Potassium Nitrate while the people behind the counter just said, "Be careful!"
