5:46 Things have gone horribly wrong on your incident if you see a firefighter pull out his sniper rifle.
Please share this video and others like it.
Hated to see the ammunition waste, yet I know tests are needed for safety.
This needs to be shared, especially in the year 2022 of the Armolite Rifle grabbers!
It seems to me fire is worse than ammunition/bullets!
What are the statistics of fires either unintentional or INTENTIONAL compared to handgun/Rifle deaths. Unintentional or INTENTIONAL❗️❓️❗️❓️
Great safety profile, but all that ammo 😢
Very through evaluation, but I would have loved to see some tests with ammunition stored in military ammunition cans. Does the sealed canister make a difference when exposed to heat (fire)?
How can I hear Rich Evans laughing in the background?
What’s that music
Excellent test and something that should be shown to the people who preach about the dangers of ammunition. Facts matter.
Also very disturbing seeing all that ammo go up in smoke given today’s shortages!
Wow that sheet rock got torn up, just think if that were bare skin would be like hamburger.
This is awesome. My girlfriend is worried my ammo cans are going to blow the roof off my place if they get too hot. I have to admit, I never thought it’d all be THIS stable. Ammo gone to a good cause and super educational. Thanks for posting these results!
400,000 rounds? That probably averages out to $300,000!
Back yard beekeeper take notes.
Very very nice
I would have liked to see the testing designed and performed by a party without a vested interest. And why didn’t they test any steel cased ammo? An unforgivable (but not too surprising) omission considering how much money they spent on ammo. I suspect it would behave somewhat differently from the soft brass casings.
"It was decided to put the ammunition on asphalt, and crush it with a bulldozer." My favorite sentence of today.
No!!! Not John Wayne…
This was done when ammo was cheap.. seeing this in 2022 hurts because theres no ammo anywhere and when there is its 3 to 4 times as 9 years ago
Who else is watching this in 2021 and crying… 400 thousand rounds used in the demonstrations 😩
A very good video.
Nice testing but in today’s world it really hurts to watch all that ammo burn up. NOOOOOOO.
Wow this was the most insane Ammo video I have ever seen! Full of great information, thank you very much for sharing!!!
This was both awesome and heartbreaking. I thought the bulldozer was rough then he said 28k rounds in a bonfire 😪
Edit : over 400k rounds used that hurts my soul in 2021
Like to see some fire testing done on full military ammo cans. And in particular 100 rounds of 50 BMG in a military can. And what about tracer and or incendiary rounds? Great video.
Look back from 2020/2021 that awful waste of ammunition but that good lesson to learn before the ammunition shortages in 2020/2021.
It HURT to watch all that ammo be ruined and/or destroyed!!!🥺😫
Yeah I totally see myself destroying my ammunition in my house using a bulldozer…..
If that makes you sad, imagine all the goodies left to waste in the middle east!
Adjusting for 2021 inflation and ammo shortages, the approximate cost of the ammo destroyed in this video is $8.27 million dollars. 😉
Great video, but I will feel the ammo destruction deep in my soul for years to come.
I know this is a test but it just about made me cry watching all that ammo getting destroyed.
Fast-forward to 2021, and I’m almost crying right now. 😛
But what if there was a loaded gun among the ammunition? That round wold go off a full velocity. And with all that smoke you have no way of knowing if there are a few loaded guns laying around in that fire room. I would not want to be the first guy in.
How much was all that ammo worth 9 years ago? $1,500? That’s pure gold now man…
It would be completely cost prohibitive to do this nowadays lol
I’ve been here 100’s ofttimes over 27yrs as a firefighter/fire service instructor AND a certified firearms instructor.
This is hard as ever to watch today.
This is great information. It’s something I’ve always wondered about.
I don’t live in the USA or own guns, but from what I’ve heard about the ammo supply in 2021, you just set someone’s retirement fund on fire 🙂
painful to see, but someone had to do it. Hopefully no one ever does it again.
*instert ammo price joke here*
Very interesting.
The most dangerous is loaded semi-auto firearm with fully loaded magazine as if the 1st round fires the velocity will be at normal speed of cartridge in that firearm and it continue to cycle until all rounds have fired off. The rounds in magazine may go off earlier thus destroying the magazine so that could affect this.
So glad the shortage is over. I would be crying. I think I know some people that would love to see this rn.
I grew up in an Air Force family so seeing them burnt in a 50-gallon barrel, they would just pop and not that loud, firecracker made more noise
🇺🇸🇵🇪🇵🇷😎 Thanks for sharing!!
Would’ve loved to see a scenario in which 5-10k rounds of ammo stacked in a typical gun safe engulfed in fire for 30 minutes or so to myth bust/substantiate safe exploding.
Am I the only one weeping over all this destroyed ammo? 😂
I feel like some of these tests were just for fun.
All the primers 😭😭😭
Great video. Only suggestion is use less fire related terms, ie fully involved. As an adult educator all of my career, keep the language at a 6th grade level to ensure all readers can grasp the words meaning
Maybe this is why there’s a Ammo shortage. 😂
The anxiety of people watching this in 2021.
