My dumbass questioned the whole thing but still watched it and was like no way
😂
me to bro
its not that unrealistic but it is an absurd waste of time and materials like it would be much easier, faster, and less wasteful to press the cases and cast the projectiles not to mention the cases wont be as strong as traditional brass and likely wouldnt stand up to the same pressure but its still a step in the right direction
i wanted to see their angle, was definitely a fun video! Though this is a good way to make dummy rounds to test and such haha
@toastedprinny oh it was a good video but it also opened the door to question today's manufacturering techniques
If only...lol The powder comes from a Texas cattle company and is considered a " green" powder. The company is called BS Powders, Inc.
Powder can be made at home.
Was skeptical, then I saw when the vid was released.
My Bull is in on this one. He said you can drive around right in back of his pen and you can have as much powder as you want. Just fold your mirrors in because of his horns Ok...
@@charliejones7574most folks are gonna have a tough time making smokeless powder at home. Black powder isn't too hard.
@@charliejones7574
Black powder can be made easily. Smokeless powder a lot more challenging. Problem is getting consistency (so you don't blow the firearm up) and degradation.
You absolutely got my attention with the thumbnail. Then I saw it was Erik Cortina on April 1st and I knew exactly what was happening! 😂. I've been watching your April fools videos since the concrete video!😂😂
Me too, and this is the first time i knew it before watching the video....sometimes i'm a little slow on the uptake😁
😂
Haah, well done Sir!- MDT did a good one too with the 94 inch bipod, though their pricing was all too believable 😆
True Velocity makes polymer 308 case ammo. Federal is making Syntech bullets which are mostly polymer. We can 3d print titanium at this point. This may not be as far off reality as we think.
I knew when they didn't do anything with powder or primers lol.
The applications for a lighter weight polymer casing is incredible. My only problem is does the casing diminish over time? Also how does it handle the pressures generated?
Syntech projectiles are all lead with a “polymer” coating.
@@rba5567don’t think ur supposed to reuse.
@@Rashed1255 I wasn't talking about reusing the casing . I was referring to the composite degrading over time due to environmental factors.
Pouring concrete without rebar is how I found Eric. Been looking forward to this video.
No Primer or Powder and the Bullet Printed onto the Case as 1 Piece ...LOL... Nice Try, Guys...Stay Safe...
Side note> primer is not needed if you ignite the propellant with an electrode , like a spark plug.. Powder replaced with a gas. I have several designs on the drawing table. Looking for the right gas
Natural methane
You'll never get sufficient energy density using a gas.
@@sapago4166 typical propellants have terrible energy density. Even ammonia has better energy density than smokeless powder.
@@danielrouw2593 You are right. I was wrong.
What will you do if it they leak? You have have to have some sort of material that will hold up over time to seal in the gasses. I don't think it's a good idea because remember when they use to use propane as a refrigerant? It worked but they stopped using it because it was not safe. I'm not trying to knock your idea at all. Atleast you are thinking of new stuff I'm just pointing out some things to keep in mind along the way.
I think it'll be a better idea just to print the casing and add regular bullets to them and it'll be like a plastic bullet. But the whole idea is to have an alternative way of ammo if you can't get the regular components. I think the way to go is 3D print the case and the bullet because plastic bullets already exists but they cost more to make but just 3D printing the case will bring down the cost of bullets significantly. The only think is how will they pre form and how will they hold up? I think they will do just fine because plastic bullets do relatively well.
Another April Fool's Day special.
You were smiling when the video started. Haha. I love these videos.
Long time subscriber! I caught on the moment it showed in my feed. 😁 Look forward to this video every April 1st!
I can always count on at least one good laugh every year from you!
Thank you, I really need this in these crazy times!
I know that you are king in PRS I wish you did more for AR reloading and precision. I do enjoy your videos
Yep, would love to see you do an "accurizing the StayFar-15" series.
Been following you for a few years now. I am always waiting for these every year. Thanks for the chuckle Erik.
Glad you like them!
This ammo would, without a doubt, clean the Blackjack Challenge with open sights. Great work, keep it up!
Great job on the machine shop!
I saw the printer setup and the first bullet and wanted to know how you got the power in there 🤔
Well, you can stop it mid print and add it before the projectile is printed. But I'm just overthinking the April 1 thing now :3
Ditto @@browniesfox
probably a proprietary secret
I was wondering? Maybe powder then primer?
Walmart solved that problem years ago. I have their super delux Nerf AR15.
less than a minute into it, and I remembered the highly accurate bullets with the dimple in the base made on the Harbor Freight "precision" mini lathe. And, then I realized that yesterday was April 1st. Pretty much in that order. You had me going for a little bit though. Fun video!
I try to never miss your April fools video. Loved this one!
All this time I’ve been wasting money on brass! Thanks for letting us know about this 😂
Nice one! Congrts to both of you.
Welp, the government is definitely banning 3D printers now.
You guys are pretty good actors. I figured it out immediately, but your reactions really sold it. Great job!
I caught on when I was asking myself, ok, now that they've got a bullet in the casing, how did a propellant get in there? And a primer?
Loading a liquid propellant and then adding a primer as a bung would certainly be a good trick!
A very long time ago they made plastic cased ammo. They had a metal case head. Plastics wern't as tough then, There is graphite reinforced resins, Also you can laser print metalic cartridge cases(A bit expensive) But you could have a batch made for some old/exotic non availabe cartrigde
Hi Erik. What is your aim in barricaded horizontal or diagonal?Do they have same trajectory or just the same with vertical shooting?
Your drop is always down, so you can assume a similar elevation, but you will have to adjust diagonally for drop. Eyeball it
😂 lol I love this video... I remembered what day it is about at "proprietary filament"
Happy 1. April, Hunters Silvester in Germany (its the Start of the New Hunting Year)
If you could get some mass in the round you could def print shells and pop primers into them. In an ar the whole shell is reinforced by the chamber so the shell itself would likely be fine. It's just when you start getting some temp in the barrel that i could see you running into issues.
I know right away, no powder or primer. But great video !!!! You guys rock!!!
caught on when they came off the printer already with the bullet in place. My printers cant do that, well they can but there would be no primer or powder. I have printed bullets that look like the real thing but as I said, they are dummys. great video, you had me at the title fer sure!
You had me up to the powder bit. I then second guessed myself thinking maybe a gas under pressure is formed by..it had me thinking of possible methods and all.. i teal tried to decipher the "magic powder" element. Goid one guys
the post time of the video kinda told me what to expect.... Woo Hoo... sure was fun to watch...
Wow! I only watched the first 5 minutes. How much ?
Where can I buy some!!??
When does the powder go into the shelves because it seems does the powder go into the shells
As soon as I saw the batch of 10 stuck on the pad 😅😅
Great fun. Lol
You guys have awesome sense of humour!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wait this was an April fool's joke😢 man I just gave you an great idea to just use the 3D printed case and regular bullets. We already have plastic bullets but 3D printed case with regular bullets would cut down on the cost of the bullets maybe. Depends on how many can be made over a specific time compared to the regular way of making them?
I'ma kind bummed it was an April fool's joke😅
I knew you wouldn’t disappoint!
Oooh wow, fantastic guys. Keep it up
Can I test some?
I wonder how you print the primers and powder?
Ha ha I caught on the minute you showed up on UA-cam on April 01 . Would not of expected any less . Great job
Tolerance good enough for snap cap?
Does it make it ready to fire, totally sucked me in, well done fellas, cheers Yogi
I realized when some how you were able to have the powered in the casing and the bullets printed filling it already.
Aw man, I had a similar idea for a joke/thumbnail a while back. You beat me to it!! 😂 Nice Prusa XL! Maybe I can convince Gavin to add a Core XY to our shop someday. 😁
Great vids funny stuff!!!
You fooled me pretty good, because I know you have a good machine shop and I know y'all think outside the box and pretty dang smart on stuff.
Might not be a bad idea to look into making your own brass and or bullets. If they can do it I know you guys can.
Best of luck to y'all. Much respect.
What about lead infused bullet? I mean, there's a reason we use it normally and has a lower melting point than silver anyway. Kevlar-jacketed 8 or 6ga steel wire core might be effective too.
You may not be able to 3-D Print Ammo, but you sure can use Hydraulic Presses to make Ammo. Of course Molds and Electrolysis for making Bonded Bullets, a Vibrating Pot for cleaning bullets of cast bits helps quite a bit.
That looks like a great elr round!
Caught on from the beginning. Learned my lesson with the Berger Bullet base dimple.....Eric
This was the best one you've done since "you dont need rebar in concrete. The grass is like rebar" video 😂
Luv ya man, great job!
Every April 1st Eric Rocks it!!
I made a primer-fired resin printed .300 blackout cartridge, and it actually fires. this is not so far off as it seems
Got me! 😋 I was thinking, how will the case not explode? 😂
I do like the idea of silver induced kevlar.
Caught on within the first minute. Still need primers and propellant. Still kicking myself in the ass for not buying a metric ton of primer bricks when they were 10 bucks lol
Just out of bed, yes you had me there!
Not this time! I remembered this year!
I wish I had kept one of my early guns. It had spring loaded reusable bullets. You could recover the bullets and use them over and over.
OH MAN !! I was sure hoping this was for real !! Good one dude !!
The case rips apart even if using an actual projectile, would have to be made of a polymer similar to PEEK or PEKK with carbon to hold the pressure but at that point it’s going to cost ten dollars a pop ….
Can’t wait to get some! I just 3D printed up my new F class rifle and scope (total cost $100) and this will really round it out! Love technology advances! 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The way you where nervous made me nevous
I can see all the Needsmoor guys stocking up on this breakthrough👍
can you print them as fast as Jerry M shoots?
Welp u got me till I was thinking how did u put in the powder and print "in the tip" of the projectile
I cannot even pretend to comprehend how y'all are pulling this off ..... printing them out with primers, propellants ...... oh, wait, you got me. Ha ha! Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel. Y'all are loco man. And they call me Gallo Pazzesco ... I got nothin' on y'all.
It’s all fun and games until someone does it successfully. Nylon CF for the case and CopperFill with a tungsten core for the projectile. I wouldn’t add the powder and primers during printing due to the heat involved, so assembly would be the same as current reloading standards.
There are people using printed ammo. I wouldn't use it personally. But it's still being done by others.
Great video.
I have 223 ammo made from plastic. Like shotgun shell plastic. Has copper jacket bullets. Shoots fine so no reason the shell can't be printed
Is it more expensive than regular brass?
@@joleghost was a decade ago. Not sure if they still sell them
Honestly, this is definitely something that's gonna be possible in the future. I thought you guys really had something groundbreaking except I had no idea where the propellant came from. Unless instead of using a powder propellant you could use a solid state printable propeller but you would definitely have to have kept secret
Lol yeah that was my question. How in the heck are you printing the powder in it. Something is missing 😎
Just a thought . We use polypropylene tubes to shoot fireworks due to its ability to not shatter sooo,
I was ready and waiting for it 🤣
Even the title didn't pass the smell test...
i watching this video scrutinizing the whole thing and trying to think how you get the powder inside and why are they so smooth thinking that can't be real
then i remember its april so i go check the date of posting AAAAAND you got me
U got me. I was just about to forward this to all the guys…
lol . I was a little confused but I was game to watching. I was fooled on the camera bullet years ago .
At first I was thinking "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Then it was "NO WAY"! When did the powder get in there?
When I saw this video I was like "wait is this for real" then I saw the date stamp from two weeks ago. I could tell it was Tulammo from the second he first showed it sitting on the printer.
Im sure it could work . Would need 2.more spool one for the powder and one for the primer
when you pulled it off the printer ...... LOL
You would have your own werewolf ammo if you can do this lol
Damit... As I do use my 3D printer pretty frequently, you definitely got me! I was trying to figure out how you managed the tolerance and was waiting for the details what kind of printer and materials you were using 😂😂😂😂😂
It's not so far away from H&K case less ammo, I don't remember if it workt. Good video 🤣🤣🤣
is an ol Lady, when did I know it was fake? when i first saw the round. hard to print powder let alone primer. and that is just the parts that go bang.
Awesome Eric 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
Propellant? Where is it loaded?
The ATF Sleepy and Dopey would be running around like crazy.
What about using solder.
Can you 3-D print caseless .308 ? ...and some 3-D Night Vision to go with it!
3 d the primer and powder?
Son of a gun, you got me there for a second
Too funny! You had Me amazed and fooled.
My favorite, is drilling the base out of the freedom seeds to make them more accurate!! LOL. FKING CLASSIC!!!
I love it! One day' I bet someone can do it!
Where are the primer and back powder were the first two clues.
Just noticed along the way, there was no primer OR propellant.......
Good one😅
Seeing this video in May...I was like there's no way the printer prints in the propellent
You got me. Thanks for a great joke. I keep thinking, when are they going to show putting the powder in and the primer in.
Well, no talk of primers or powder getting put in. So it was pretty questionable!
