When US Marines “Knock” on the door
The toolbox of the US Marine breachers is as versatile as it gets; from sledge hammers and mechanical saws, to shotguns and explosives. But why Marines hold their weapons upside down when breaking doors, how breachers can replace half of their explosive charge with a bag of water and still accomplish the same result, why after blowing a hole in a concrete wall, breachers sometimes rush toward it with a mechanical saw, and what’s the number one mistake that will get you kicked out of Breacher’s school, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT

Subscribe to resurrect the snake 🐍
Halogen = "Hallo Jen"
Already did
12:21 should’ve said “to create a new door” instead of “create a new or different opening”
The snake is the saddest death scene ive ever seen
You may want to change the “dead cord” segment to det cord or detonation cord. Nit picky and probably nobody cares if it’s changed
11:20 "This is the door we will breach" "Ok boss, I'll tape the charge all the way around it" 😅
lol, I was looking for this commit.
theyre marines, give them a break, that takes a while to say with rah rahs
2:21 *crrrk* ‘JOHNSON! Our covers Blownnn…’
I think you meant 10:58
???
Had a feeling I'd like this one. RIP Danger Noodle.
Don't step on snek It would really be a disgruntle
13:12 Snake respond? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!
he has airpods in he cant hear us!!
Why are we still here? Just to suffer ?
poor dude
Rip snake.
Respect to the snake o7. Went in honor.
I have no idea why " The algorithm" feels that I need to know how to breach access, but imma go with it.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Feeling rather inspired! Where can I order a length of that fancy cord?
Trained for british army and there are lots of entry techniques, but lots of emphasis is put on just attacking the door hinges if you can, also looking for thin walls to make an entry through. Im glad you covered how to properly kick in a door. So many people think you ram doors with your shoulder. A kick in decent heavy boots at the lock/handle area is enough for most standard interior doors, and doesnt break your collarbone Our entry techniques changed a lot, it was similar to the US version of violent and quick entry in numbers but changed over to making an entry then carefully looking for/neutralising targets from the door/window, using the wall by the door as cover and gradually skirting around, opening up the angle, entering when it appears safe to do so. there are lots of warheads now available for handheld rocket and missile type weapons and specialist weapons like the matador rocket launcher which are used for building entry. They look extremely fun. Theres a version of the AT4 single fire disposable rockets available to British troops (the ILAW) which have been customised for urban fighting (not sure how, probably reduced the backblast and a delayed fuse) and building entry. The direct fire option with an NLAW can also be used for this in a desperate situation.
Thanks for sharing your experience, God bless the USMC and US Army
Extremely fun 😮
Well in Switzerland, Germany or Finnland you probably wont be able to kick in residential doors. They are built really sturdy (some have bolts extending into the frame in several places when locked and are made of thick solid wood. I even think that many doors would put up a good fight to ramms ans sledgehammers also using a lever i would not consider very reliable here. Also some buildings have their doors open to the outside as for better escape possibility in case of a fire. I really dont understand why American houses have so flimsy doors and gaps between the frame and the door.
I heard the AT4 CS has a salt-water counterweight that reduces the dangerous backblast
The struggle of getting a gas operated saw started is totally real
While I am not a bad ass Marine breacher in a war zone, I can now somewhat feel their pain every time I try to start my weed trimmer or chainsaw in my backyard.
Stuggle
The circular saw was good for my knee never going to start one again, sliced through like butter though
Try a busted up lawnmower from the 80's with a front axel that won't rotate, a back wheel missing, and a broken bar duct taped together.
My dad just refused to throw the damn thing away, but finally bought a new one around 2017ish.
16:46 MAJOR Props to the blanket man on this blast. that shockwave is real.
15:05 "I guess that's what the crayons are for..." good one! 😅 Semper Fidelis
I always appreciate the disclaimers when NWYT uses footage out of context to avoid clickbait. Thanks for doing editing responsibly!
Repaired those type of saws for a number of years. 1-know and maintain your saw like you would your firearm. 2-All other things being equal, and this is my experience, pull start it from the ground with your foot in the stirrup formed by the handle. You gonna wear yourself out or hurt yourself/someone else doing it in the air like that. That is just my take on it, for what it's worth.
Any ideas why they would not use electric saws with huge rechargeable lithium ion batteries? I can see why you wouldn't where you can't recharge the things, but it seems they might have a place otherwise and start with a button push.
And check for a choke/primer. If you don't have one, starting it once a day and letting it warm up would be a good idea. Starting in the air is a waste of energy, but can be done safely. From the ground gets to the back or knees, but a good stump or bench is ideal. Mostly worked with chainsaws, but two stroke is two stroke. It'd be way dope to have one of thise monsters!
They will soon, batteries keep getting better, but your talking some serious torque which historically has only been achievable through combustion
@@MrShysterme At least partly the weight and bulk of those huge lithium batteries. Hydrocarbons have 50x the energy density of the best batteries by weight. And considerably more than that by volume. If you knew you were only going to need a small amount of cutting, then sure, a battery might be enough, and the low noise and easy starting might be handy. But if you might have to do a lot of heavy cutting it'll just be a pain to deal with that many batteries.
Decompression valve goes a long way as well! My Husky has one, theirs will too...
13:10. I like how he casually drops the knife
I was in the Army, not Marines , so I would first check if the door is already open. 😜😁
"Where less than 100 soldiers get through each year" I can already smell the crayons on the breath of the marines about to be screaming "im not a soldier, Im a marine"
12:07 "aw fuck" got me good
Thanks for all the new ways to wake up my parents on Christmas.
I have a sherriff deputy freind who was on our county SWAT team and was the Breaching expert. Ill have to telk him about this video and ask if he knows about the 'boom box" i love your channel!
Nice, but always check to see if the door is locked.
Gotta love kicking in a door that opens outwards - extremely common in movies...
The local Home Depot probably sells a ton of plywood and doors to that school. Oohrah!
I love these videos, keep em coming big man
Really good video, one more thing that should be mentioned is that in breaching shotguns they use special breaching ammunition that desintegrate on impact
Upside down shot gun: For metric bolts, regular way for imperial.
😂👍🏼
We used detcord for breaching. The technique for going through the wall was pioneered by the SAS in the 70’s. In the 1982 movie, Who Dares Wins, the technique is shown.
Thats why explosive breaching is the most effective Its quick , to the point , and rarely fails
The chainsaw jokes cracked me up!
Love your videos my man
Good doc. Was enjoyable and informative. 👍
Thanks for the great content! Never disappoints.
As a Marine I can neither confirm nor deny that the crayons are used in this way 😂😂
Fun fact, the Marines are why most equipment in the military has "this side up" or "this end towards the enemy" on them. But seriously, a weapon upside down and pointing in a direction means, PID on enemy position. The Army just make a pistol hand to do the same thing. But I can see how that might confuse Marines.
3:41 I bet the Lock Picking Lawyer could open that Master Lock way quicker than that sparkler!
Outstanding video!
I didn't know much about the manual or mechanical methods, thanks for doing the research and making the video.
IDF uses 2 methods for breaching: 1. Cold breach: using hydraulics breeching kit to bend the lintel or mechanical breaching hammer(which is on a sled to break the cylinders) 2. Hot breach: using c4 brick with "loud thread"(same thread as the charge they cut in the video) or a frame charge, which is basically pre made c4 cut into bars wrapped with lego like plastic. Also using 'Simon' rifle attachement to break cylinders from 10 meters away or asking a merkava tank to move the barrel thru a wall or a d9 to go thru that building or wall😂
Can you Please Make a Video on the B36 Peacemaker. Every Friday i come home and watch your video, and it allways makes my day.
Thanks for explain each breach method in detail!
I am wondering which one I should get for my wife, for when she looses her keys.
This was a fantastic episode. Very detailed.
Excellent episode!
What I've learned from this video, duct tape and explosive wire are the most important things
A roll of duct tape and a few pounds of det cord will get you in most places.
Great Video. Thank you.
Very interesting!!! Thank you very much! 😊😊😊
Very impressive episode.
Very informative.
7:40 This man is braver than most of us.
He Makes a video about the marines, he then continues to constantly show footage of the army
I love this guy’s voice! It’s like a Simpson’s construct of a far Eastern Charles Bronson. Superb.
I nominate that snake for the Darwin award.
I love you Ordnance Lab and Not What You Think! ❤
Ok the second bit about the saw starting fuckin sent me xD that was hilarious perfect timing
GREAT video
You really need to do a video on COMBAT ENGINEERS!!!!
I love how the video goes completely off topic for one minute to talk about a snake
11:21 hmm, we need to secure this to the door to breach, jeff, go inside and attach it please
this brings a while new meaning to IF YOU CANT DUCK IT FUCK IT.
Marines+Cardboard+Duct Tape+Det Cord=BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!
Lol, much easier to start that saw if it's placed firmly on the ground. Marines can be a special bunch sometimes.
Fascinating!! Bloody brilliantly awesome video!!!
8:04 Good GOD, he really *went* for ittt O.O
The snake one got me😢😂👍
This video was great, but I think the best part was here 13:11 when the barely thrown knife sticks into the wood. Where can I get one of these 😮
It is interesting to compare WW2 breaching and entry techniques against the latest and greatest. In WW2, one or two guys would work as a team with the rest of the squad in support--hiding around the corner. as the entry guy or pair blew a mouse hole in a wall (doors and windows were assumed to be booby traps), lobbed in a hand grenade or two, then dove through the mouse hole to a corner of the room and used a tommy gun to spray anything still wiggling. The WW2 techniques were modified by SWAT based on mission, situation, enemy and the presence of hostile litigation. Never underestimate law fare! The entry STACK was developed to overwhelm criminal suspects without a shot being fired and limiting the amount of hostages killed by the rescue force. It was unlikely that the entire building would be rigged to blow up and fall down, so instead of limiting entry personnel to just one or two guys that your side could afford to lose, a dozen guys might crowd into a small room. Bureaucrats prefer single "one size fits all" solutions, but vaporizing the target with a 75 kiloton nuclear warhead usually creates more problems than it solves. I note that multiple breeching techniques were illustrated and some of the demonstrations included the assault team storming through the breech. Thanks--this was entertaining and edcuational.
Another “explosively” 😉 awesome video.
2:28 Marines: “Initiate manual breaching.” Circular saw: “BUT ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!”
love how they basically give you a recipee with these.
The snake : Why i ignored the piece of wood is NOT what you think!
@2:00 when i was in high school i made dance based off my similar experience priming this buster up lawnmower from the 80's that my dad refused to throw away. It was called "The lawnmower." But i had variants like the "Psychotic Chainsawer."
RIP Lt. Scales.
not sure about US one but soviet det cord definitely could explode from fire or hammer, so I'd better not do that at home
The breachpen is a thermal breaching tool that does not need a saw to start.
14:30 vape in hand lol, good video!
Rip snek 🪦
"Knock! Knock! " "Who's there? " "Legal criminals protected by law. Open up!" 😂😂😂
Ahhhhh... the Uli Knot. Brought back very fond memories of my time in the OPFOR in Polk. 😂 FOR ARIANA!!!
As a combat engineer in the army when doing ubc I only ever built water impulse charges doughnut charges oval charges and line charges Messed around with the m26. For normal work in the field I did a whole lot of bd8 with a wire.
I’m stunned
Merchant Mariner here. We light exothermic cutters with a battery circuit attached to the rod and a ribbed strike pad. The small batteries are worth about 1 maybe 2 strikes. A car battery is good for days.
Breaching is knackering work, even as you seen starting the saw can leave you hot breathless, especially when you loose your temper and launch it lol, battering rams soon drain your strength, in fact using a ram could form part of PT for recruit's lol
I have a video idea can you do a video on the V-2 rocket
This video really should have mentioned Hamlet's "Hoist with his own petard". A petard is a type of breaching charge invented in France. Its name literally means "farter".
Almost any of the uses of a "prop stick" in the video could qualify as a petard, if you interpret things loosely enough. Pretty wild that some military ideas from the 16th century are still relevant today.
I love how the explosives look so makeshift but when breaching there is no cut and dry method
the popular marine shotgun the benelli m4 is known to shoot 12g D0B (Double Ought Buck) which is basically 9 ball bearings.
Tip for starting any handheld engine with a pull rope. 1. Hold the tool in the air. 2. Securely grip handle. 3. Drop the tool. Don't manhandle the rope use gravity to help you. Instead of trying to overcome compression with just your arm. It's harder on you and your family equipment.
17:04 "The most elite group is us marine security forces recapture tactics team" proceeds to show royal marines breaching
Remember it like it was yesterday.
I love det cord. I was trained on using it, but never got to use it in the field! I mean, we did use it for other things, but I'd rather not say🤣🤣
Im curious why not use place able thermite charges to melt through locks and hinges
I'm watching this while in training and I rember just last week we had the same thing happen with a snake it was going up to one of our explosives and as soon ass it detonated all that was left of the snake was his tail and I mean a small tip I'm currently on a break but still on base and my comrad looked over my shoulder and reminded me of what I am telling you.
No door in Florida opens inwards due to hurricane codes.
RIP Snake-chan 😢
The way you pronounce det cord sometimes sounds like death cord, and I am here for that
Watched the whole thing... Got to most elite breaching force "Recapture Tactics Group"... Show's UK Royal Marine commando's 😏
Explosives, take the path of least resistance. If there's a second water bag behind it, it will equally disperse it in both directions instead of outward towards you. The det cord goes in the center
whoa that water charge was probably the very first not what you think
Oh my god i love that i understand the crayon joke thanks to HLB 😂😂
That direction sir. Alright removing that directiojn
Um we do it as well all of it. We also sticky thermite charges to metal doors rather than a lance. And the fun of det cord especially if the is timber pole around.
Let Ryobi make that concrete saw with a 40v LiON battery. No more pull start.
Duct tape may just be the most important thing in the us military
