I love this channel!!
I think those are the coolest loads he has done. Good guerilla weapon if you think about it.I love this channel!!
All I want to know is why they didn't try to jelly some gasoline mixed with the flints? Like a waxer slug only the gelatin as the medium instead of wax.I think those are the coolest loads he has done. Good guerilla weapon if you think about it.
That probably would be hazardous to fire.All I want to know is why they didn't try to jelly some gasoline mixed with the flints? Like a waxer slug only the gelatin as the medium instead of wax.
Isn't that the point of incendiary rounds?That probably would be hazardous to fire.
Hazardous to the shooter I meant.Isn't that the point of incendiary rounds?
I think he's getting at when the round is fired inside the gun might be a little hazardous to the user.Isn't that the point of incendiary rounds?
Add a pinch of powdered magnesium to the wax-flint mix? Powdered aluminum?
I know what he is getting at, but if you can pour hot wax into the shot cup without the powder charge going off (which is what you do when you make waxers) why would there be an issue shooting jellied gasoline slugs cupped in a plastic wad at 1000+ FPS?I think he's getting at when the round is fired inside the gun might be a little hazardous to the user.
I'd be very concerned that the jellied gasoline would ignite with the gunpowder. Boom.I know what he is getting at, but if you can pour hot wax into the shot cup without the powder charge going off (which is what you do when you make waxers) why would there be an issue shooting jellied gasoline slugs cupped in a plastic wad at 1000+ FPS?
The shot and powder are kept separate by the wadding from chambering to firing . The wadding more than survives being fired out of the barrel and actually kind of becomes a projectile of it's own. This is evident in any video showing someone shooting a shotgun at a target.I'd be very concerned that the jellied gasoline would ignite with the gunpowder. Boom.
The heat may ignite it? A shot cup wad does not provide an absolute seal either. Why don't you try it and post a video of it? I'll be watching from across the country. Boom?The shot and powder are kept separate by the wadding.
LOL, I knew that was coming. I'm just saying take a look at a shotgun shell. Do a cut away if you need to. There is a lot of separation between the powder and the shot. Maybe the seal isn't always perfect, but how much oxygen do you think is in a barrel and how fast is that projectile moving? It would be out of the barrel before it would ignite, if it were going to ignite.The heat may ignite it? A shot cup wad does not provide an absolute seal either.

Go for it. I'll support you all the way (from over here).LOL, I knew that was coming. I'm just saying take a look at a shotgun shell. Do a cut away if you need to.

We'll see. If I do try it I'll be sure to document it and post it here.Go for it. I'll support you all the way (from over here).
Haha, Thanks for having my back @Podmonkey.
What is it that you think the gas is going to do ?Go for it. I'll support you all the way (from over here).
K you can help @ArmedCorgi test it then.What is it that you think the gas is going to do ?
It's not like the barrel isn't full of hot burning powder already. The gas won't burn any hotter or faster than the powder.
It's more likely to foul the powder and not fire at all if there is a leak.

In my original college days, the physics and chemistry dept was full of doctorates who worked for Uncle Sam WWII inventing and developing all kinds of ordinance devices. One physics session Dr.Joe spent talking about the physics of shaped charges. Once physics became relevant the minds of 30 miscreant engineers were fully engaged. Beats the shit out of anything SJWs learn in liberal arts?i was just thinking of magnesium before i watched the vid .. what about a shot shell full of magnesium ribbon and a flash hole in the wadding to set it off .. man i need to stop thinking like this LOL ..
That must've been a fascinating lecture. Shaped charge munitions rendered the heavy tank obsolete.In my original college days, the physics and chemistry dept was full of doctorates who worked for Uncle Sam WWII inventing and developing all kinds of ordinance devices.
