Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
Is there such a thing as the perfect bullet?
The bullet has evolved over 200 years of scientific research from a simple lead ball, to the incredible hi-power rounds of today. Naked Science explores the science behind the bullet and the technical advances that led to today’s ammunition. We learn how science better understands the ballistics that govern their deadly flight.
We start by exploring the history of how bullets developed. The history of the bullet is inextricably linked to the guns that fire them. From the early smoothbore and rifled muskets, the renowned Colt revolver and the Winchester repeating rifle Naked Science charts the key developments.
Today in the 21st century, there are a dizzying number of different types and sizes of bullet. But first we need to know just how a bullet works? How it flies and whether the size of a bullet makes it better?
We look at the stopping power of bullets and find out which is the most deadly. To find out which one does the job one of our experts hits the shooting range to put the destructive power of each bullet to the test and the guns that fire them. Naked Science tests the awesome power of one of the most powerful rifles in the world. The .50 calibre is a gun so powerful that it can penetrate 7 inches of steel and still keep going.
To find the most effective ammunition we need to know what kind of damage they do to the body. So what is the perfect bullet trying to do? And how do the aims differ in both military and law enforcement environments? Dr Martin Fackler, the leading wound expert in the US explains.
In a war zone or even on the city streets those that defend our country face these devastating bullets every day. What can be done to protect them? One answer is body armour. As bullets have become deadlier, body armour has had to get better at stopping them. So how does armour work? Naked Science investigates.
How does understanding the behaviour of bullets help solve crime? Naked Science recreates an unusual real life crime which was solved by Ballistic Forensics. We speak to real CSI experts in Pittsburgh to investigate how the science of ballistics is used to solve violent crime. And how can a bullet have a fingerprint?
We look at the bullets and guns of the future; the new assault rifle for the US Army, the weapon of war for the 21st century, a high tech weapon that can fire around corners and a new ballistic technology capable of firing over one million rounds per minute. Finally Naked Science uncovers a bullet that could change everything, it’s a smart bullet and could make all other bullets obsolete.
I used to help my late husband re-load shells. I enjoyed working and learning with him. He had memorized pages from ballistics books. You say what gun and he could tell you the FPS, and other facts. I really miss him.
Bless you Becky. Bereavement is unarguably the hardest and most painful experience that we encounter in life. Your relationship was so solid that you even enjoyed reloading together. That’s very special and a timeless reminder of the love you shared.
Sorry for your loss miss Becky. God bless you.
Good stuff
of course sorry for you loss it dpse though seems to me your time with him well spent most wives don't participate in such things i so glad you seen it advantageous. all road leads to other roads the one marked firearms is as good as any place to start you jounery off life and rather ufsefull

The Fudd lore is powerful with this one.
" the 50 bmg at 1.5 miles, has 9 times the energy of a 44 mag at point blank range". Liberal gun video.
The case contains the propellent, not "explosive". Hollow point bullets are designed to expand, creating a larger wound cavity. They generally do not "fragment". Credibility is at risk here.
They'll definitely fragment if they're moving fast enough
If Gatnos knows so much why the hell didn't he make this movie? Most hollow points are made to mushroom and or break a part. I've shot enough deer in my life to tell you that half the hollow points I've recovered in deer have broke apart
Why are you booing? I’m right! 😂 True doe. Gotta be precise. Not sure why people are defending a sensationalized documentary.
Most rounds fragment, even unintentionally, thus they lose mass as traveling thru gel or tissue. Why do u think the bullet weighs less when it is weighed after being shot into a target of meat, gel or clay ??? That’s fragmentation my friend !!!!!
@@thatsmytwocents4372 and that's just your two cents 🤣 just goofing , I like the name thats funny
Forgot the most radical change in bullet shape. The "mini-ball". This is when bullets got their elongated shape. Huge improvement in accuracy when paired with a rifled barrel.
Is that the one produced during the Civil War
A conical shaped bullet is more aerodynamic, giving it longer range. It also deforms less than a spherical projectile.
The minnie contributed to improved accuracy towards the end of the muzzle loader era. There are those that point out that in close range combat, round ball impact would cause far greater injury as it deformed more readily than a conical minnie.
@@thatguy22441 ironically one of the reasons why the minie ball was more effective than a spherical musket ball was *because* the hollow base would deform under gas pressure and seal the round against the barrel.
@@BillyWitchDoctorDotCom The lead expanded and caught the rifling better. Those big bastards weighed 480 grains and had a velocity of about 1100 feet per second.
In the opening scene they were describing an M16 while showing video of an HK Carbine........the information did not get any more accurate during the rest of the video unfortunately.

"You couldn't hit the side of a barn if you were in it." The above sentence has nothing to do with shooting. It refers to the accuracy of the facts in this video.

It’s the same as five, five, six by fourty-five. Right?
"to their amazement, these grooves improved accuracy" there are plenty of comments already about errors, but this one gets me. Grooves in the barrel would not alleviate barrel fouling, Shoot any black powder long arm rifled or smoothbore, they have to be cleaned quite regularly. The cleaning is actually made worse for rifles, because the grooves fill up with soot and debris after only 3-5 shots in some cases. they make the M16A1 look like the spitting image of reliability. also, gunsmiths were well aware of spin-stabilization, it was discovered in europe, the middle east, and most of mainland asia almost 20,000 years ago in the form of arrow fletchings. by the time firearms were making the rounds in warfare, almost every single people with even a modicum of civilization had either figured it out themselves or been shown that spinning things in flight stabilized them, be they spears, arrows, sling thrown rocks, etc. the reason rifles were very very uncommon until the late(ish) 1600's was because getting enough quality steel to (mass) produce a barrel was difficult enough, let alone making even BETTER steel to be able to make the rifling machines to make consistent rifling grooves. in the 1700's germans started using some of the first "common" rifles, these became what would be called a "kentucky long rifle" in the USA due to the mass numbers of german settlers in the region bringing their favored weapon with them. even then, rifles did not become the monolithic standard armament for most european armies until the 1800's, with the invention of better steel forging techniques that allowed mass amounts of high carbon steel to be produced with consistent alloy %. along with these rifles, came the "minie ball" the first(*) modern bullet, which allowed for rifles to achieve equitable if not surpass the firing rates of their smoothbore cousins. all of these factors, machine tools, metallurgy, cleaner powder, better bullets, are what lead to cased, jacketed ammunition we use today. if any one of these factors was missing, we'd still be using muskets. *The minie ball was the culmination of several attempts by french military officers and engineers to create a better rifle bullet.
Agreed, there are tons of errors in this but they are correct on the development of rifling. The first grooves were cut in an attempt to allow more firing before they needed to clean them. It didn't work well, they still fowled quickly so they spiraled the grooves to allow for more room for fowling. (spiral groove being longer) The increase in accuracy was a happy accident. lol They still fowl something fierce though. It's kind of a catch 22. You can use a high antimony, hard ball to reduce leading but then they are harder & slower to load. A soft ball is accurate and easy to load but it leads really bad. A patch is easier to load but not as accurate. The Minie ball fixed that issue. Easy to load and would expand on firing to catch the lands and groves resulting in high accuracy. You can even use a high antimony projectile to reduce leading somewhat. lol It's still black powder but reducing the leading helps lots. I use a dental pick and clear out the nipple every 8 or 10 shots and with a high antimony Minie ball you can run 50 or so shots through it before you really need to scrub the lead out.
@@shananagans5 Something i've always been curious about, in the Line warfare era, they probably had at most about the same amount of shots as you listed before cleaning at best. what was the practice for allowing soldiers to clean their weapon? I would assume that the first block of line infantry would fall back and let another company take their place while they furiously scrubbed out their muskets, that would still take a minute or two to do though, I can't imagine they'd just sit there getting shot at with a bore brush in hand.
@@MUJUNKY Honestly, I have no Idea on that. My experience comes from shooting some black powder. I have a few real, old west era cap and ball revolvers and several modern replicas. The replicas are exact. Even the irritating aspects that didn't work well are dutifully reproduced. Once you figure them out, the post civil war revolvers work fairly well. However, an afternoon with one will certainly make you appreciate pretty much any modern gun. Muskets and early rifles are a real pain. You can't just run a brush or patch through them. They only have a small hole on the other end to light the powder. As a result, you are cleaning a blind hole from the muzzle end. Think about cleaning out a 4 foot long pipe that's capped on one end. It can be done but it's not fast. I would think they probably did it the way you suggest but I don't know that. I had not really thought about that before. I know many battles were fairly short so even with black powder cleaning wouldn't be an issue but there were some longer battles and they must have had some way of doing that. lol Now you got me curious.
@@shananagans5 I know that during the revolution there was a battle where the british got ambushed (the name of the battle eludes me) but the british outnumbered the patriot forces on an order of somewhere around 8 to 1, but the patriots were on either side of the road in heavily forested hills, and the patriots had their best shooters firing while two or three other guys reloaded and cleaned muskets for them, at the end of the day the british had tried to chase, tried to fall back, tried to just run down the road until finally they gave up and did a fighting retreat to a less heavily forested area, the patriots lost about 50 men to the british losing a few hundred killed or wounded, but the fighting went from early afternoon until shortly after the sun went down. Also, I know what you mean about black powder rifles, a friend of mine has a reproduction brown bess and even though its fun to shoot, having to sit down and clean it for an hour after shooting hardly any rounds is a pain. we were shooting it for maybe thirty minutes and the nipple got clogged while it was loaded and ready to go, a bit nerve racking trying to delicately clean it out without causing a spark.
@@shananagans5 ive tested different powders and metals. Black powder substitutes do work in flintlocks but the hangfires, forever. The fouling has always been powder unless using sabots. Then its s mess of plastic. Have tried single and double patching 452 always with lubed patches and still. Have tried pure bismuth and pure zinc and still…. Have tried pure lead in 450 bushmaster using spg and no apparent issue. Pure zinc actually still expands but only tested on propane tanks. 451 to over .8 on the backside of the can. Pure bismuth makes nice frangibles but dont work at rifle speed below 451 without somewhat fracturing at exit. Thats at 309.
I like the fact that he only talked about a hollow point and a fmj. there are multiple different types of hollow points that expand differently and there are ranges of metal jackets not just full
and? How is that relevant at all?
oh wow this hollowpoint expands 20% wider than this one, thats so important that we need to include it in the video so you know all the varieties of every possible piece of equipment!! Not sure if you noticed but this isn't a phd level video
Was it a hollow point or a hydroshok?
@@AR15andGOD more descriptive. Also different metals can be used. Because of a lead ban her and there for different reasons, metal companies came out with a substitute being a bismuth tin and antimony alloy at 30 bucks per pound. I started trying pure bismuth and pure zinc at ten bucks per pound or less which is mouldable with a camp stove. Vs solid copper which is not and has a higher brinell hardness wearing your barrel faster
@@AR15andGOD You found that tid bit of info complicated huh???
Hollow points don’t break apart, they expand. Sounds like they got their information from some anti-gun website Edit: yeah I didn't know what I was talking about, as pointed out by some of you they do fragment once they are in the body or depending on what they hit, also the anti gun thing was not necessary for me to put in.
Spalling? Spauling? Shit happens,,,,,,
They expand and when they can expand no more they shrapnel. Hollow points are not allowed in the military the world over for a reason. They're inhumane. Nothing to do with anti guns.
I made it to the same exact part of this video after hearing a couple things previously that were incorrect - but semi-excusable. I couldn't stand it anymore.
@Richard Peck That they do, but a full metal jacket does not produce a bigger hole and a hollow point is not "designed" to fragment. FMJ is designed to penetrate and leaves a much smaller hole, a hollow point is designed to expand and deliver the entirety of the projectile's energy into its target. Frangible ammo is designed to fragment. Any fragmentation in a hollow point is unwanted. You want your bullet to expand uniformly, transfer all energy into your target and stop just before exiting - all in one piece.
@Richard Peck No problem! But if the knowledge was that common, why do we have videos like this spewing garbage as truth? Not mistakes but outright bullshit. Wasn't trying to challenge you, thought you might be misinformed on the topic.
Actually, a CARTRIDGE has 4 main parts: Case, bullet, powder, and primer. So when a single shot stop is not possible, the Mozambique was developed. 2 in the chest, 1 through the head. Another, method is thr Reverse Mozambique. 2 in the chest, 1 in the pelvic region. Smash the pelvic pan and the assailant will go to the ground. He might still be alive and capable of shooting but it buys you time to plant him once he goes down hard.
Yeah whoever made this doc was an idiot. Or just ignorant.
Did you guys notice that your FMJ round is not an FMJ round? I'm no gunsmith but having bought thousands of rounds of various calibers has taught me that there is a difference between FMJ and soft tip.
softtips fit in the fmj category as they are partially coated
@@AR15andGOD the performance between them can not even be compared though.
@@AR15andGOD FMJ = FULL Metal Jacket. What you're talking about is a jacketed soft tip
Hornady fmj at least in 451 the base is exposed. Speer has a tmj which is completely jacketed with a hemispherical base. They told me it wont work in 450 bushmaster. Wrong. It works phenomenally
@@AR15andGODNo, a soft tipped bullet is not a FMJ. It would not be legal for military use.
Wow I have never heard so many errors in such a short time, #1 "each round of ammunition has two main parts" false, a cartridge consists of four parts Casing, bullet, powder and primer. #2 "the case holds the explosive charge", false there are no explosives in a case, cases contain a propellant, not an explosive. #3 "the firing pin hits the casing" false, the firing pin strikes the primer which in centerfire rounds is a separate component from the case. #4 "the charge inside burns and explodes", false, propellants burn, they do not explode. I could continue breaking down all the errors in this video but i think you have editors that are payed to do that. You should change the name of this channel from " naked science" to " high speed photography narrated with bullshit". All you had to do was pick up a book to learn the things I have just told you.
+Jon English #2 An explosive is something that contain huge ammounts of energy and can easily be released and thus this can be called an explosive. #4 It dosent "explode" either if your that picky, it just releases huge ammounts of energy and thus forcing the gasses to expand
Cuprum you are wrong, look up the difference between propellant and explosive. hint it has to do with the speed of the shockwave.
Jon English I just did. "Solid propellants are usually made from low-explosive materials, but may include high-explosive chemical ingredients that are diluted and burned in a controlled way (deflagration) rather than detonation." Its litterally an explosive with more or less control
see where that says"rather than detonation", that is the important statement. take a teaspoon of black powder and drop a match into it, then drop a match into a teaspoon of smokeless powder. all will be clear then
Explosives can be used as a propellant, but a propellant is not always an explosive. Is black/gunpowder not an explosive? Search high vs low explosive.
I made it through 17 minutes of this video before cutting it off. I can't imagine how much *more* stuff it gets wrong later.
Almost everything!
I got to about 14 minutes. I let the introduction of the primer (and much more) slide. When "the size of the bullet" graphic showed measuring the base of the case...I couldn't go on. The overall history is about correct. The rest--pretty much done by folks who didn't consult experts. Not up to the NatGeo standards.

I'm nowhere near an expert. However the sheer amount of errors they made in firearm terminology was genuinely absurd. It feels like any research done for this was only a partial google search. Like, my lord...
The producers made far more errors about tactical info than about technology. They obviously did not consult any Army Ranger or Massad Ayoob.
GOGLE DOES NOT SPEAK OF FIREARMS THE GOV HAS PAD THEM BILLIONS TO SHUT THEM UP
Hollow points are NOT designed to fragment into pieces. Also FMJs are NOT designed to leave a bigger hole. Think he might be mixed up a lil bit. Lol.
The amount of misinformation in this video is mind boggling
So where does one fund the right info my dude?
Btw, cops use Ar's now not m-16 .sometimes.the swat use m4 rifles which are full auto carbine like the military uses Ar15 is the SEMI-Auto civilian version of the M4.
The equation is very simple: When metal hits flesh at high speed and with enough force, the flesh will yield.
Unless you are Arnold Shwarzenegger. Pretty sure bullets bounce off of him. And Steven Seagal probably believes the same about himself, which I would LOVE to put to a test.
SO WILL DRIVING INTO A BRICK WALL HURT YOU,,, BAN ALL BRICK WALLS AND DRIVERS THE GOV
It’s funny also how they referred a certain rifles as high-powered rifles and assault style rifles that are killing machines but if you were hunting let’s say you had a 3006. With a 180 grain bullet that would be a high-powered rifle because you would use it for larger game and the 223 Is a small 22 caliber bullet that the military designed for wounding people not killing them and it wouldn’t be considered a high-powered rifle because you would use it for small game the muzzle energy isn’t as high as the larger calibers so it’s kind of a low powered rifle and it’s kind of not a killing machine but they would love you to think the opposite because it’s scary looking
556 may not have the stopping power of the big boys but at high enough velocity its pretty damn deadly to a human.
Except weapons such as the AR-15 were designed to kill. Stoner designed the AR-15 for the US military who adopted it in 1958 under the designation M16. In 1960 Colt acquired the rights to the AR-15 as Armalite couldn't manage the production. In 1963 Colt released the AR-15 onto the civilian market under its original name with a semi-auto trigger group being the only difference between the military and civilian production weapons. Since then the AR-15 has proven to be absolutely beloved by those aiming for maximum carnage. Port Arthur, Pulse, San Bernadino, Las Vegas and hundreds of other mass shootings have resulted in high numbers of casualties because the 5.56 NATO/.223 round yields devastating results. That's what it was designed for.
@@andrewince8824 You are a hand-wringer, convinced that anyone with an AR-15 is a murderer looking for a place/reason to kill people. You are willfully ignorant, you memorize bullshit because it reinforces your idiocy to have half-facts and outright fiction to make your stupid case. I know you are a democrat, a Biden follower, YOU are born wrong and you are wrong now.
@@gymshoe8862 I'm not a democrat. 😂 Go research the history of the AR-15 platform. It's literally a military arm that was released onto the civilian market for pure profit and has since been instrumental in multiple mass homicides including the three deadliest globally (Port Arthur 1996, Pulse Orlando 2016 & Las Vegas 2017). Anyone carrying a weapon for "self defence" is by their own admission looking to kill. Trying to argue against that is like trying to claim the typical obese yank didn't buy a burger because it was hungry. I can only hope your paramilitary police or your blood-thirsty countrymen take pity and don't pull the trigger, after all, there's a 1 in 13000 chance of an American being murdered as opposed to a 1 in 100000 chance for the British. The 135000 annual American shootings and 88000 stabbings probably have a lot to do with that, the UK by comparison has 35 shootings. That's it. Just 35 shot dead. The US has a population 4.75x that of the UK, if the US were as civilised it would only see 166 shot dead. You lot can't even cry knife crime though, the UK has approximately 10600 stabbings a year with the US seeing 88000. Again accounting for population, the UK would have approximately 51000 stabbings if were the size of the US. Your country has a problem. The numbers speak for themselves. A murder rate of 7.8 per 100000 compared to the UK rate of 1.21 per 100000, 4.75x the population yet 6.45x the murder rate, you come from a sick place. Guns don't protect anyone. You were born wrong, your third-world shithole nation was born wrong.
@@andrewince8824 read enough military documents back in the day, the 223 wasnt designed to kill. Except head shots of course. Dead people dont interrogate easily. They will bleed out of course. Any 22 like the ar/m16 will kill, eventually. Its a high powered, 22. Too many soldiers have complained about the complete lack of lethality. Military is now moving towards the m-5, with a higher caliber. And overpressured. I can safely load a heavier 308 round and move it faster with a higher ballistic coefficient at less pressure. And have
“The charge inside explodes….” It doesn’t explode. It deflagrates
If memory serves me right, the "Maxim" machine gun was water cooled. That is largely the reason why they had such high rates of fire.
Cooling controls the heat of many fast shots. When adequately cooled you may shoot many more rounds before the heat ruins the barrel. Rate of fire and total number of rounds fired are different things
@@gymshoe8862 The Maxim was WATER COOLED. This allowed for sustained fire. Unless the water level fell too much and exposed the barrel. In THAT case you are F****D.💦
More heating means more rate of fire. Water cools the barrel to maintain the accuracy and life of barrel.
@@derfaschist9687 higher rate of fire means more heat. Not vice versa
Yes, 5 liters.
Case, primer, propellant and projectile. In any application past present or future, you have to have these four components. The Henry was the first to developer that action and rifle. The Winchester was simply a copy with a wood forearm and a closed tube magazine with a loading gate in the action. The weapon that really won the west was the shotgun. Even today the shotgun is the most versatile, effective and feared weapon. Double the weight at a given velocity, doubles the energy. Double the velocity at a given weight, quadruples the energy. Dirt is the best bullet stop and bullet trap in nature. The bullet design of Russian bullets are manufactured with a hollow at the nose of the bullet jacket. This causes quick deformation and tumbling through tissue.
Agree with shotgun statement. To the poiny that even Hilter and the Nazis had beef with it. Anything that will do that to Nazis is a good in my book. Agree with your statement here actually 100% though
Everybody has an opinion I see.

As long as we are ripping on this documentary for getting things wrong, the 50 BMG is a anti material rifle before it's a sniper rifle. But, sure...it can do the job just fine.
Actually it was an anti armor rifel before that when tanks and apc's were very thinly armored
@@LunaS043 thats what he said
@@LunaS043 considering armor is made with materials... uh yep.
What makes a sniper rifle a sniper rifle has more to do with the shooter than the rifle itself. The only defining feature of a "sniper" rifle is MOA or sub-MOA accuracy.
Actually, you and everybody who responded to you is wrong. It is an anti-materiel rifle, not an anti-material rifle, or an anti-armor rifle.
“Unstoppable chain of events” **gets a squib**
Hey, the bore is getting clogged up with fouling....I know! Let's cut grooves in the barrel to hold the fouling! What's that you say? Oh, yeah, let's cut the grooves in a spiral! That should work better, and be REAL easy to do....Holy crap! It makes the bullet more accurate! (right...)
it probably did work out that way.
a new bullet made to save lives.....yea those have been made for centuries already
Yeah, didn't Gatling claim the same and Maxim and blah blah blah.

I know this is an old video, but the "facts" they present were not correct when it was uploaded, but they weren't even correct 30 years ago. Hollow points have always been designed to expand, not to separate... frangible ammo separates, hollow points expand. Plus they shot the same jugs with the FMJ and hollow point, impacting only the second jug with the hollow point.

Being familiar with various firearms for over 50yrs, my intention is to continue avoiding being shot myself, to the best of my ability.
these tracking/homing bullets finna change Chicago drastically
14:26 Correction needed. FMJ doesn't make big hole. Hollow point does not fragment. It expands like a mushroom. FMG is usually used by military. Hollow point is forbidden for military use. Its gives more pain. Its used of self defense. FMJ is more suitable for all in one.
I reload too, they've fed me and others and have been machine made and melted , molded lead &tin for hardness, pushed by black powder, lit by sparks from flint lock . Sure wouldn't like to be mountain lion or bear bait without them. Make them cheaper and faster.
Other than the .50 BMG Raufoss round, its only a touch more advanced than an explosion in a closed at one end tube blasting a projectile out of the open end...

Jon English, you are spot on with your observations.
My favorite part was showing the musket ball bounce around the barrel lmao 🤦🏻♂️

Looks like a 45 caliber ball going down a 12 gauge shotgun bore.
After u finish lmao, go look up the definition of the word "Analogy" and then look up "Anal" as it seems to be all you can manage!
The video somehow (not quite sure how) misses the invention of the minie ball. It then inaccurately explains the reasoning behind FMJs. Bullet deformation was not the issue. The issue was lead deposition. Bare lead bullet leave pieces of lead in barrels when fired at too-high a velocity.

@@TheRealSwampOperator I'd love to know how my comment concerning the history of certain firearm technologies is related to the actions of law enforcement.
A show for people that never did and never will hold the gun in their hands. And you forgot to mention that some AK47 bullets were really filled with explosives. Intentionally left behind rifles for the enemy to collect combined with bullet filed with explosive instead of designated powder equals blown up rifles and one or more dead enemies or at least a serious injuries. Sneaky but effective.
These bullets sound really good. Make sure that everyone between 15-25 years old has big supplies of them. The lines at Walmart are way too long. This should help a lot.
so much misinformation...

50 minutes of spoonfed tripe for the masses so they can sound like they know what they're talking about at the bar
Musket balls were inserted with patches that kept them against the Boer. The reason the musket balls were so inaccurate is because they were not properly spherical. When you have flat spots and dents all over your LED balls, because they're sitting in a pack against each other, yeah they fly all sorts of different directions. Wounding only works when you're fighting an enemy that doesn't care about their comrades.
Also the barrel wasn't rifled No spin
Sorry, but there are several things wrong here. It is bore, not Boer. It is lead, not LED. And wounding works best when the enemy DOES care about their comrades.
Who ever wrote your scripting needs some technical education. Bullets were never designed to "wound." You can argue that point but it is purely subjective reasoning. What determines if a bullet kills is primarily placement and the level of critical tissue damage, period. You can die or be wounded from any bullet projectile, from a .22 to a cannon ball.
In the opening scene they were describing an M16 while showing video of an HK Carbine........the information did not get any more accurate during the rest of the video. "The case contains the propellent, not "explosive". Hollow point bullets are designed to expand, creating a larger wound cavity. They generally do not "fragment". Credibility is at risk here." Yep. Case, primer, propellant and projectile. Not one single grain of explosive. In the case of the muzzle loader, the barrel chamber is also the case. Creditability, is pretty much gone, here.
A minute per reload on a muzzleloader? Um, the average muzzle loader hunter, if he knows his rifle, can reload and fire 2-3 rounds per minute. Soldiers that drilled and practiced could do 3-4 rounds a minute. Someone with everything premeasured and laid out, like many Civil war snipers did, could get off 5 rounds in a minute, before they moved to a new position as fast as possible.
Generally speaking, the information presented in this video is accurate. As the previous poster mentioned, I also have handloaded ammunition since the 1960's, so I am fairly knowledgeable and I handload for 22 different cartridges. The last couple minutes about revolutionary super smart bullets that never miss, with cute little fins is pretty funny.
Modern technology has made airplanes that fly themselves- INTO THE GROUND!! I don't think we need self-guided bullets.
literally every single plane in the sky today flies itself.
Screw played the most important role in modernization of technology
19:53 the word you're looking for is crosshairs, crosshatches are what a cylinder hone leave behind as a surface finish inside the bore of an engine block and the like.

16:02 Ranger Talons are state-of-the-art technology? LMAO!
I’m surprised they didn’t mention black talons haha! There’s so much inaccurate information in this video that it feels like a parody.
There is so much outright wrong information in this video, how can we trust the veracity of any of the other videos that you have produced?
I might be wrong but there isn't a explosion
Tim Bumgarner...You are wrong , stupid , and need school .
@@timbumgarner4867 Tim, you're correct. Modern powders are propellants, not explosives! Even today many think the old gunpowder, (black powder) is explosive but recent research has found it burns progressively like modern powders!
@@IETCHX69 How is Tim wrong?
he didn't produce anything or make anything this is from the natgeo channel on T.V.
I noticed on Hickok45 page you can at times see a .44 magnum bullet in flight if he was shooting at the gong at the other side of the creek, it would often been a grey blur but you could at times see it before it hit the target and then once it hit the target it would leave its mark in the new paint. It was filmed and played back at normal speed but several people I know have seen it too but it has to be filmed at the right angle and you need to be lucky to notice it. Only really noticed it on the .44 magnum though over say 100 yards
I watched Hickock put a 3' group on a target at 230yds firing Foster slugs through a smooth bore. He is on another level. kzhead.info/sun/obKNqaeboKJjnqs/bejne.html

Modern powder, ( smokeless powder), does NOT explode. It burns. Some other things noted in this video are incorrect..
When packed into a sealed container yes it explodes when ignited
It still burns, not explodes. In a tight container it will build up enough pressure to act as an explosive...
Yes, it burns. Different powders burn at different rates and same powders can even burn at different rates depending on the caliber or case type it's put in.
its a chemical reaction that consumes solid reagents, and produces gases and liberates heat ( exotermic reaction), techinicaly, its a combustion reaction because the gunpowder contains oxigen compounds, what makes it an explosion is because it happens really fast so the pression builds up realy fast. a formula that explains it would be P.V=N.R.T, the numeber of mols of gases increanses, and the temperature increanses, for a same volume the pression increanse. sorry for bad english, brasilian here.
You are correct modern smokeless is burning not exploding. Same way you can cook your lunch with a piece of c4 lit on fire but a blasting cap will make it blow you away.
Folks, this video was posted 6 years ago. Imagine what technologies are actually available today.
Funny. Nothing too new XD
@@jrg3213 except more silly laws ?
Kinda weird tho, don't you think, that these hollowpoint bullets was banned from being used in war, but it's okay to use on civilians. Yes, even a criminal is still to be concidered a civilian. And the argument that it's supposed to only hit the perp, it can still miss and hit an innocent bystander. Scary.
The fact we dream up future weapons constantly tells us we'll never be at peace; and yet we don't want to be at war. How can this be reconciled? It's neurosis at its' best!!
Its called a deterent. You want peace sure. But you want to have the biggest baddest weapon on the planet so nobody else wants to fuck with your peace. Because we understand that there will always be someone that only wants peace if they are in control of said peace
the firing pin hits the primer....
Rimfire, and centre fire
Then, out go the lights!
@@ItsOverYT Yeah they didn't show a .22LR when they said it

People seriously underestimate the range of shotguns.
Especially those with full chokes.. My pops has a 870 wing master from back in the day.. full choke bird gun.. it'll put a load of 00 buck in a hole the size of a basketball at 52 yards with flight control ammo. That's devistating. And I've personally seen large mule deer killed at 150 yards with a foster slug.. and those wounds were the among the worst I ever seen. Shotguns when properly utilized , with the correct choke system and ammo choice are so underrated.
I was a navy mid range sniper and my weapon of choice was a 16gauge shotgun with modified scope shooting hand packed slugs. It's accurate to a 1,000 yards or more.
k
Of course it was
I give this video a 6/10. It does ok at giving the extreme basics of how firearms and projectiles work. There's a TON of nuance when it comes to rifles, handguns, and shotguns. You have speed, barrel length, twist, ballistic coefficient, and a lot more variables. I think it could've been explained a lot better if they cut some of the "footage" and interviewed more experts.
And this is the "anti-anti bullet bullet" for when the bad guy inevitably gets his hands on the "anti bullet".and this is the "anti anti-anti bullet"
We had this guy in our LE Academy class on use of deadly force. Right after a full M.E. exam of a guy killed by 1 round fired 20 feet away from a .22 The bullet bounced all around inside the guy. It caused several non- survivalable injuries. Meaning even if the victim had been shot while standing in the ER with doctors present, he still would have died.
The bullet bounced all around. It must have been one of those mythical magic bullets. I hear they do that.
@@timothyprice9064🐕💚🍕 dogs like pizza 🤕 I'm glad you commented to that guy because I couldn't think of anything to say 🤔 dogs like pizza 🐕💚🍕
@@jefferyharris4066 You had me wondering if I had said something like that. The things people will tell you as fact.
No bullet is designed to wound, but to stop a threat, to kill an animal, or for fun shooting at various targets.
What?! "A bullet consists of two parts...the case and shell." No, a modern bullet is comprised of 4 parts not two. The first is the casing (1) which holds all of the necessary components for the bullet to take flight. Inside the case is a primer (2) and propellant (3). The primer is struck causing the propellant to ignite. This builds pressure Inside the casing until it explodes sending the bullet (4) forward.
"The XM8 is the new assault rifle for the U.S. Army." Hahaha.
This video isn't bs. It's pretty much right on point. The shell case comes out of the clip and into the barrel then there a explosion in the barrel then the bullet flying out and flys for 50yards till it football spins
I truly hope that you are being sarcastic. 😂
@@SouthOfSanity79 he's probably just an idiot
magazine not clip...unless its belt fed
@@stevenp8198a belt fed actually uses “links” to hold cartridges together, and a rifle such as the Garrand uses “clips” that are inserted into a fixed magazine. Then we have “magazines” that can be detachable, tubular, or fixed. My guess would be the incorrect wording , aka slang, of calling a magazine a clip was probably because of the Garrand…but does it really matter? 😜
Point-Blank used as a muzzle energy descriptor for only small arms is a major error in this video, since 'Point-Blank' is a descriptor for the effective flat trajectory of any cartridge, not muzzle energy. Very poor terminology use.
As the trigger mechanism hits the primer,there is a detonation which release enough energy to start the chemical reaction of the propellant (like gun powder) this deflagrates and the pressure accelerates the bullet out. When naked science stated that the trigger mechanism hits the casing, they are wrong (When I first watched this documentary this is what I thought they meant when they said it "hits the casing", but looking at the comments I decided to go back and analyse what was said). This documentary does still have facts in it like the stability of the musket bullet as it bounced in the barrel, but Yes there are things a that are wrong. I see in the comments section that people are questioning the reliability of this channels content, which makes sense but they do have good documentaries, this is the first time I have come across a documentary of theirs that I have found to have miss information.
The hollow point bullet is designed to EXPAND, not fragment.
Cephas Martin depends on the bullet
@@forensicwow1639 The fragmentation is secondary to the expansion. The idea behind the hollow point was to expand and make a large wound channel. The only bullet I know of that was designed to fragment is the G-2 RIP. Perhaps you know of others. Please list them.
@Richard Peck Yes, but they are made to expand. Mass retention has always been important because the creation of a large wound channel is the most important aspect of a hollow point bullet. Fragmentation is not what is wanted; mushrooming is what bullet designers want. As pointed out previously, the G2 RIP is the only bullet I know of that is designed to fragment. Mass retention is the key to quick energy dump which is key to stopping power. Again, I invite you to list other bullets designed to wound by fragmentation.
@Richard Peck Then why do most, if not all, gun channels stress the IMPORTANCE OF RETAINED WEIGHT OR MASS? Fragmentation detracts from the performance of the hollow point round. Additionally, when a bullet fragments the fragments DON'T create new wound channels, it typically ends up in the wound channel created by the bullet. Fragments never travel very far at all because they don't have enough mass. God, you're an effing idiot.
@Richard Peck No, I just like for things to be correct. Hollow point bullets are made for expansion, not fragmentation and weight/mass retention is important. That's all.
I’ve never fully understood the forensic bullet science,matching a bullet to the gun that fired it,I appreciate the riffling of a gun scores a signature of grooves into the bullet casing ,I understand that ,but how unique is that pattern of grooves? For example, two pistols next to each other on the production line ? Two guns manufactured with identical tools in an identical process with identical materials,firing the same ammunition? Obviously very unlikely but similar would the marks be? Can anyone explain please?
40:20 in , great question was curious about this.
@@afterthought3341 I re watched it from the time stamp you suggested,while they covered matching a bullet to a gun ,I’ve never heard anyone address the comparison of a bullet with two sequentially manufactured guns.unfortunately that’s how my brain works 👍🏻🙏🏻
You’re right to question. Never stop
The barrel rifling will be the same in two identical firearms. But there will be microscopic tooling marks that identify individual firearms. Like fingers being similar but fingerprints are uniquely individual for each person
That's a great question. I've heard it's not as accurate as "experts" claim. This has been proven with many other courtroom "sciences" I have no references, but if one looks at all the convictions that were reversed when DNA evidence became a thing, many of those cases had "expert" witnesses using various fields of "science" that claimed the innocent defendent had to be guilty.
This doc is from the mid 2000s. We dont use the guns they said would be future guns,( i read about all of them in Popular Science back then) and Metal Storm went defunct in 2012 !
I Hate having a feeling that I have to Protect myself, Knowing electronics, that all this is possible. We all must trust and believe in Governments. No matter the COSTS. But fight for YOUR rights!!!!
"the aim of a smart bullet is to save human life" hahahahahahahahahaha etc etc . The aim of the electric lightbulb is to flood an area in darkness.
Pistols need to have a pommel. Then in a duel you can end them rightly.
Ballistic markings on projectiles has not been unique to a single firearm for several decades now we find that out in the 1980s when sperms manufacturers were required to test every gun and list the microscopic ballistic information for every firearm. The result was that they were finding that a single firearm makes microscopically identical marks on a bullet with several dozen barrels that were made before that firearm and several dozen barrels that were made after that specific firearm. That's why they don't do that anymore. Because they're still wanting to tell people that it is unique to a singular firearm the reason it isn't unique anymore is because of the CNC Machining practices used to build Firearms since about the late 70s and early 80s and more and more after that. Articles were printed in Time magazine in the mid-80s proving that it is no longer possible to identify a singular firearm to a singular bullet.
Yeah, seventeen years later and we still don't have smart bullets.
I have never seen a bullet with a steel "coating" jacket. I would imagine that your barrel would last only a few rounds.
I dont believe anyone is still shooting after a slug to the chest
Hell the military already has missiles that are smart enough to lock on to their target and even change course if needed
Maybe...using nanotech to make micro-miniature guided missiles? Expensive, but if you can't miss....
most of the stuff in this video isn't true
Fruity Rudy???
Yeah why don't you correct the mistakes rather than talk shit
@@bigbadwolf5870 well you coupd scroll through a couple more comments and find out or maybe just maybe do the most minimal amount of research on guns or bullets from say idk a reloading book for example and get all the information youd like.
@@trailblazer632 What? I don't care what the correct answers are dude. Take your asbergers somewhere else
Like? Being serious what is inaccurate? Not a expert here.
Sometimes Naked Science has good information. Sometimes, they have a lemon. I can smell this video's sweet citrus scent from here...
I would suggest that the publisher if this body of work actually have their contributors edit the text the narrator was reading from. Because there were so many errors in the narrative that I find it a bit stunning I managed to sit thru the entire presentation. BTW Smokeless Powders are typically employed as PROPELLANTS but can act as an EXPLOSIVE if the pressure and temperature exceed a value specific to the powder being used. Firearms manufacturers and ammunition manufacturers take great care to insure that the pressure/temperature balance always remains within the Propellant range because the result of smokeless powder transitioning to Explosive is UNIVERSALLY a blown up firearm and high potential for fatal results from that explosion. If you want examples of what happens there are many pictures on the net of 44 Magnum and similar handguns blown to pieces by hand loads mistakenly loaded with 2 to 3 times or more of the recommended powder charge. I"ll also point out that the Winchester Talon was designed to be an EXPANDING bullet and nothing more, those supposed talons shredding flesh do minimal damage when compared to the impact energy released by the impact energy of the bullet and that energy spike is a direct result of the expansion of the bullets effective diameter. What you refer to with those Talon references are nothing more than falling for a marketing ploy to sell more bullets. I'll bet that you just can't resist buying any product that has "new and improved" on the box. As Yoda would say "strong is the Sucker in this one". I won't go thru the entire litany of errors, it would just take too much time and I expect that a full review of all these replies will reveal every single wart of which there are many.
I admire your patience, I've quit at the 4 minute mark.
You... do realize.. that the way cutting and the way a bullet does damage are the exact same mechanism...?? The sharp flower petals on the bullet do inflict more damage, as we can see in the test in this very video. Leaves star point slashes in the flesh which could cut veins or other vitals etc. BTW propellants and explosives are not mutually exclusive, so none of your critiques actually count. You just want to feel smart.
I found a better description of the 50 cal. think about talking to your friend. then think about the friend's head blowing up. then realize that the shooter is on a rooftop a mile away. that is what the 50 cal can do.
armies that stood in a straight line, music blaring, firing at each other. The musket balls were, in fact, the smallest of all balls on the battlefield at that time.
True though oddly they are now mostly bigger than 50cal which is the largest caliber gun you can legally own without extreme vetting and special paperwork
derek leverknight no you can get way bigger rifles just as easy as getting a 50 Cal
@@trailblazer632 The 12 gauge slug gun is 73 caliber.
@@BaileyStokes- not without special licensing. 50cal is the largest legal rifle caliber without that extra licensing unless it's blackpowder which isn't normally considered a firearm.
@@timothyprice9064 but that's a shotgun not a rifle and uses gauge not caliber in its measurements and classification. It's why you can still get 10gauge shotguns as well even though those are technically .775 caliber.
The Heckler & Koch XM8 project was canceled way back in 2005. Also, why does this show only ever talk about police and criminals utilizing firearms? It doesn't even mention the millions and millions of law-abiding gun owners that reside in the US. It's almost like we simply don't exist or something. Also, "five fifty six", lol. This program is weird and left a whole lot of information on the table.
The fact is that many people out there are former military, I know fully well how to use an AR15/M 16. Civilians use them, because the military and police use them, which means they probably work. Assault rifles, originally designed by the Nazis, were select fire weapons, with an intermediate powered cartridge, that were capable of taking targets out to 250 meters. The AR 15 is not select fire, as sold off the shelf. It does use an intermediate cartridge. It was determined that it is more effective to wound the enemy, and tie up resources, then to kill him. The intermediate cartridge is good for that.
Dis video so good I'ma watch it ova n ova
MEEEE 22222
What a good product placement for Ranger Talons...
47:00 But..but..what if the enemy uses an anti-bullet bullet?
then we will use our trap cards

"The XM-8 is the new assault rifle of the US military." Yeah, about that...
This video was published 4.5 years ago and was likely produced over 5 years ago. Yet, I've never even heard of the 'XM-8', let alone heard of its adoption and production. Have you ever heard of it?
Gregory Parrott yes, the army was going to adopt the XM series a few years ago. deal fell through, but the Army is going to replace the SAW with a new one, most likely from SIG.
Skipped over the single most important aspect of bullet design: the miniball which some French,an invented that elongated a bullet making it more stable due to shape.
Some Frenchman? I believe his name was Minie'.
Its more the opposite in the opening line. Bullets: You can hide, but you can’t run.

"police only shoot to save lives of an officer or innocent bystanders", hahaha good one
They do sometimes..
It's true, though. There have been maybe 3 times in american history where a police officer truly shot an innocent person. You're one of those people who thinks its ok to shoot at cops without them shooting back, which is what happens in these so called innocent people being killed.
7:44 shows a m1903 A3, from a muzzleloader… had me speechless, seriously?
Rifling was first mentioned in the 15. century. Revolvers were known in the 16. century in europe.
