IS AN EXPLODING CARTRIDGE DANGEROUS

SCIENCE! Good job. Often wondered about this.

Great video

Thanks for doing this. I keep a few thousand rounds in my house for target practice (I buy in bulk to save $) and I've always worried about a house fire and the risk posed to any firefighters by my ammo. Glad to know what while its still potentially dangerous, its not as powerful as I feared. Your results make sense from a physics view since the cartridge is not confined inside a barrel.

🎶 I-I-I-I shot the candle 🎶
🎶 But I did not shoot the ballistic gel 🎶

I feel like it's safer in front of the exploding bullet. the rest just flies everywhere at high velocity

Speed of light.

thanks man, for answering this question.

I did this once with a 9mm Luger round, and it took whole 3 minutes to explode from the heat, but that's because I dropped it in the pile of hot embers that I took out from a furnace, and the fun thing is how an empty case looked like a flower in the aftermath of the explosion, and not like a normally shaped cartridge case as when fired from a gun.

Might have been good to put a brick behind the cartridge since the cartridge doesn’t have enough momentum to kick the bullet forward. Otherwise the bullet just bounces off the jello.

This is why no one uses 22 calibre anymore

Simplest rifle

👍👍👍

Holy shit
The 7.62 launched a counter attack on the candle

But, what about the 30-06 in the thumbnail?...

It’s crazy how well the projectiles preserve, usually they flatten upon hitting a hard enough target

Most people dont realize that when its just the whole bullet and casing without a barrel to keep the case from blowing up it isnt the bullet you should be worried about. You should worry about the fragments from the casing potentially blinding you

So, yes?

Of course

How hot doea it have to gwt to cook off a eound accidentally ?

7.62x39mm truco😂

WRT exploding ammunition, it's not the round that's dangerous, it's the cartridge. Since the cartridge is generally lighter than the round it becomes the component that separates the quickest. They also tend to tear open when they separate and can travel at high rates of speed. Although not necessarily deadly, they are flying shards that will cause superficial wounds.

Nice clip - terrible music, had to cut you off early!

Nguy hiểm quá 💀💀💀

Дибелизм

That was awesome, thanks for fulfilling my most intrusive thoughts, 🙏

Удивительно что у автора все 10 пальцев на руках! Не хватает интриги.

Do that in some HE cartridge if the projectile will explode

How Did it Fire Without The Gun😲

l like 5.56mm Caridge

XD

баран без потроника и ствола не смысла так полить их просто будет розрывать

I was once at a hunting camp on a chilly morning standing around a campfire. I bent over to put more wood on and five or six 20ga shotgun shells fell out the pocket of my hunting vest into the hot coals. I frantically reached in, embarrassed and scared and grabbed them out, burning my fingers in the process. The best part was the now fond memory of the comment made by one of the old guys nearby. He said to me very casually, "Don't worry too much about that, son. They generally have to be in the gun to get organized enough to cause any harm."

Fascinating. Thx for doing this.

It needs a barrel to go straight

The bullet projectile itself is basically harmless BUT the scrapnell is. My neighbor was killed that way

OK til the shotgun shell with the [c]rap "music". What's with that?

Ruined the video with the rap bunk

7.62 was like a guided missile

well it would hurt

It’s dangerous for the eyes and u get strong burn from the fragment. One idiot let one role into the fire, I got the shell on the hand, 3 degree burn, but only a small area.

I started a small smudge fire for the bugs while doing some work behind my barn and heard a pop and something hit me in the side of my belly. It gave my a little burn and grazing. Stung like hell. It was from about 10' to 12' away. Cooked off shells are no joke. A temple hit straight on would've been deadly. Luckily my fat gut absorbed the hit.

Primer exploded before the main gunpowder on the 7.62. I think you should have tried that one with the candle being a bit further from the primer.

Mad labs 😂

762 got em with the 180

Do you ever try it firing the primer with electricity instead ?

Didn’t mythbusters determine that the casing is deadlier than the bullet in this situation

Im gonna try this with a .44 rem mag.
