.50 BMG Shell exploding OUTSIDE a gun - What Happens?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2017
- In this video we see what happens when a .50 bmg round is set off outside the chamber of a gun. Will the brass shell make the bullet travel at a higher velocity and be more dangerous than the shotgun shell?

did you find the bullet from the melon
Remember, kids: don't try this at home! Go to a friend's house!
Lol
do it at grandmas
Guys, this comment was made last christmas, little late.
Mich Seavheu Uhh, what?
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.
Ya, inserted partially or more into a barrel/pipe and such a large round. Definitely going to have some force coming out of that tube. That’s shitty
How to watch these vids as a civvie? Asking for a friend.
@@Anonymous8317 to the person talking about the navy and the 20 mm round .I was a Vulcan gunner 20mm Gatling gun .we had all kind of rounds for it hei wp frag just to mention a few .do to know was it a ap round hei I would think would of Kia him .the Vulcan could fire 4000 rds per min. 👍

The slow-mo made it look like the teddy bear actually died lmao
I like how this dude gets right to it unlike other people who string you along for 7 minutes to see something unimpressive.
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.
Don't you have a bear to go kill in it's den while it's hibernating?
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.
Tank shell next?
i would pay for that
What are we talking about? APBC, APDS, APHE, HEATFS, APDSFS, gotta specify man 😅
same thing
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.
Who's mans is that🤣🤣
that was the most realistic teddy bear death I've ever seen.the hunch then pause before finally falling forward was almost unsettling honestly XD
you could even see the pain on his face 🤣
Funny. I just watched the video on the perimeter alarm.
They’re watching you.
In the first shot, the slow motion made it look like the bullet was thrown gently by hand, rather than a cartridge, lol.
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.
Gumboot Zone
😳🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
🇺🇸😎
That took a lot of brains almost.
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.
Thank god the kid didn't kill himself jeez

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.
Driver7 one time I shot a puddle with my pellet gun...it ricocheted and hit my step dads windshield instantly spider webbing it.
Steven lol
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 would be nice to see that on slow mo file pellet
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.
Where do I buy the paperclips? Theres no link in the description
Captain Obvious I found some lying on the sidewalk.....
lol "now 72% lead free!"
Well clearly you should've used a rifled cantaloupe.
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

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.

Be safe.
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
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!
Thank you Lars!
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 )
maybe a smaller round with an aluminum casing?
LOL, The way the "bear" just keels over after taking a .50 Caliber hit in the first shot!😱😂😱😂
I want to know what my dog's teddy bear is doing in this video? If he sees it he'll be furious.
best part of the video -- finishging the job T. Roosevelt refused to do.
Andy's toys watching by the window 😱
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.
That music was something else...
Excellent content!
That intro was 🔥🔥🔥I'm so happy I subbed to you guys I'm so sick of the ads
thank you Jerome
So you won't be reloading that brass then? :-)
lol
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. :/
xjet no he shoot the shattered brass out of a 12gauge
Well, the bullet is reloadable for once, lol.
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.
Cool test. Very informative about how brass cases fail. I wonder if they all fail similarly, or if some fare better than others?
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 love that y'all use slow-mo in every video. Keep up the good work. 👍
thanks!
TAOFLEDERMAUS no problem y'all are awesome.
If girls jogging in slow motion looks as good as it does, then so does setting off Ammo! LOL
Hey fellow Reloaders Jeff has once fired 50 bmg range brass for sale
Just leave it in a bag of rice overnight and it'll be fine.
We are professionals lol but has his hands in front of the bullet while the primer is ready to go 😂 still great content taof!
This is realy cool! Thank you for doing this, really solved my curiosity after seeing a video fo Edwin Sarkissian fail to shoot a 50BMG out of a flaregun haha
Awesome! Love these types of videos! :D Liked!
thank you very much Jesse and Mike!!
Its Cool to see you guys commenting on this, been a subscriber for years now.
What a handy bullet extraction tool >.>
That was the most iconic bullet firing sound i have ever heard!

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
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.
"We're what you call professionals....or something" : )
Yes, Paul Harrell is going to sue them for trademark infringement.
Best part of the video is the paperclips, three exciting colors 😂
Late af reply but also how he says "now 70 percent lead free" 😂😂
Actually gotta really thank yall for bringing these to light. I've installed them on all my windows with a 12ga OC round attached. Makes a hell of a bang and maces the crap out of whoever triggers it.
just as I thought it would but cool nonetheless.
thanks!
Dude everywhere I go ur already there lol, I thought I was the only one that watched all this shit >
Great video!
thanks!
Gives me goose flesh watching you guys pushing the round harder into the melon while fitted to the loaded trap.
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.
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.
And the mental department had a boom.
2011 Iraq theater Army Spc dismounting M2 from HMMV used .50cal round as hammer against pintle mount pin. Result, no right hand, med discharge.
Looks like they need some saftey training
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!!
The paperclip "sponsor" got me there for a sec. I was like, "Uhmmm, ok..." xD
Very entertaining, thanks guys!

y’all are awesome thank you for these videos!
3:31 I like that halo grenade sound effect
Whoooa its almost exactly the same
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.
you still did something wrong. I don't know what it is but this is the youtubes comment section so I feel I have to say something
Poor teddy bear
Didn't hurt the bears bears are bullet proof!
Especially when He's Carrying USSR Flag
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.
This is a perfect example of a UA-cam video done right :)
There HAS to be some wrongness!
That's impressive but was it a gluten free mellon? It makes a difference. Stay safe
lol
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.
I hope it was a free range melon
And a grass fed melon

I'd be interested in seeing what happens on the opposite end of the spectrum, like the common 22LR
A firecracker with a little bit of brass shrapnel.
While training out in the field, the barrel on one of M2's was worn and worked itself out (we were firing blanks), greatly increasing the headspace. The next time the weapon was fired, the round went off and exploded, showering the gunner's legs with brass. It produced some pretty bad wounds in his legs.
The moral of this is, cantaloupe's make great suppressor's!😂
Cats too, ask Postal Dude....
Only three colors? What a rip.
My favorite paper clip company has six.
Omg very exiting colours with those paperclips!
Maybe we will be seeing those paperclips in a 12ga round soon
Loved those vids. Thanks for sharing this.
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.
So the barrels of guns prevent that spread witch pushes the bullet at a greater force for speed.
Maybe. Great research subject!
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.
if you watch the slow mo you can see the bullet go into the gel.
good video keep up the good work
yeah, I'm just blind!!
Not too bad. I didn't see it until I slowed down your slow motion section.
That teddy bear took that shot like a boss! 😎
...and this is why Headspace and Timing adjustments on the Ma Deuce (M2) are soooo important. Great demo.
thanks!
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!
You know you're the most successful person if you're getting sponsored by Chinese paperclips.
Though the firing pin was not in battery holding the cantaloupe balanced and stable with your hand directly in line with the 50 BMG gave me the heebie jeebees. Braver man than me. I wouldnt have the cojones to do that. Great vid guys.
Loved the way the stuffed bunny "died".
Lol “ there you go German specs”
My friends and I out in the middle of nowhere did this with .22lr rounds but replaced the round with a .22 airgun BB and had a lot of fun making cool little patterns with them.
.50MG: shoots
Teddy Bear: I don't feel so good...
*grunts, slowly leaning forward from excruciating pain, until at last, body touched the ground*
@Black Guns Matter 6 months later, still funny
Incidentally the guy who was injured after he had a .50 BMG go off in his hand was using it as a makeshift hammer to dislodge a pin or something, was either army or marine corps. but the report went into some pretty gnarly detail.
Google "Weapons Safety Message 10-2" and you'll have all the gory details. Dude was Army deployed in OAF, no mention of MOS or unit, round was an AP-I silver tip. At least half the gun owners I show it to say "NAW, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" and then this video shuts them right up. Any round will blow like that if cooked off in a fire, but only .50BMG has the pressure to serve as a mini-grenade.
In fact, the combined weight of all the smokeless in there is roughly equal to the Mark 2 pineapple grenade, which (to save TNT flake for larger shells) was initially loaded with 324 grains of "EC Blank" super fast double-base. EC Blank is naaaaasty shit and the bane of dumbasses everywhere. 10 grains in a .30-06 case with a teeny cardboard wad on top produces a report that is actually slightly LOUDER than USGI ball .30-06 and makes an outstanding signaling cartridge... if you're shooting it from a Springfield. Semi-auto rifles didn't exist when it was invented, and firing a single EC Blank loaded .30-06 in a Garand (which happened quite a bit) would instantly destroy the gas system and splinter the top handguard. God only knows what carnage would have erupted when somebody mixed up the coarse-powder blanks for grenade launching on the M1 with one of the old EC Blanks and tried to shoot a grenade off the end... I'm thinking body parts. And that's 10 grains.
Now imagine 324 grains in a cast iron pineapple. Serious shit.
I saw the picture of the aftermath; the guy's hand looked like ground beef. What an idiot.
2:20 Clearly you can see a quantum singularity form as the shell explodes swallowing the bullet.
It would be interesting to see what happens if somehow you could prevent the shell casing from bursting..we're just watching the shell casing explode it's not the same as it being fired out of a gun with no barrel.. Either way, cool video guys, you've earned a like from me..
Love that he got straight to the point
