I think those are the coolest loads he has done. Good guerilla weapon if you think about it.

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.

That probably would be hazardous to fire.

Isn't that the point of incendiary rounds?

 

[Deplorable Me]

Add a pinch of powdered magnesium to the wax-flint mix? Powdered aluminum?

Hazardous to the shooter I meant.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Steel shot and flint for duck hunting. Shake and Bake.

I think he's getting at when the round is fired inside the gun might be a little hazardous to the user.

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?

 

[ArmedCorgi]

It's the fumes that make gasoline explosive, not the gasoline itself.

I'd be very concerned that the jellied gasoline would ignite with the gunpowder. Boom.

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.

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?

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.

Go for it. I'll support you all the way (from over here).

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Perhaps pouring in some paraffin wax first and then the jellied gas would create more of a capsule...IDK.

We'll see. If I do try it I'll be sure to document it and post it here.

Haha, Thanks for having my back @Podmonkey.

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.

K you can help @ArmedCorgi test it then.
And a

for you too. Just in case.

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 ..

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?

That must've been a fascinating lecture. Shaped charge munitions rendered the heavy tank obsolete.
