hi guys Dustin here and today we have a real treat because we have
real live grenades we're here out with ordinance lab and they have their FEL
and they can do all these explosives and stuff and they invited me to play so i brought bill
you know bill he's been through a lot we're gonna see what he does with a live grenade now
if we kind of we're safe as long as the spoon stays down so we can kind of prep it and RUN! RUN!!!
thanks for joining us today guys remember do not be a criminal and don't be stupid
Striker and i want you to check out our sponsor wiley x i think it's some of the best eye protection out there
i've been wearing it for over 10 years exclusively and it has saved my eye and if you don't believe
me on how robust it is go check out our video when we shot it with a 12 gauge shotgun in like 15 feet
the pellets bounced off the lenses it was amazing some of my favorites include these the roamer 3.
this is my clear favorite the guards when i'm feeling a little cooler i like the valors you
look good in boss the sleighs have very good wrap around protection as well so check out the link
down below in the description get yourself a pair of wiley x now let's blow stuff up all right guys
we are visiting ordinance lab today and sean's here's got some cool grenades i brought bill to
um experiment with yes he's going to be experimenting with a new lifestyle
he'll be doing a transition from a complete body to possibly a very um very diverse body we could
say a little bit of him there a little bit of there oh it's important to see what happens we've
blown a lot of stuff up with grenades we've never actually tried a gel body we've been wondering
about that and trying to source one so this will be a great test uh he's already been nuked so um
i'm quite curious to see what's going to happen if we again we find pieces of them everywhere or if
we actually find a survivable chunk it's going to be yeah so we're going to be trying two separate
grenades we have one right here it's a polish design that's going to carry the most amount of
explosives in there we're going to pack it up with the tnt equivalent we've talked about this before
in other videos where for us it doesn't make sense for us to use actual tnt to melt it down and put
it in here we can instead make a binary explosive that we're going to set off with a blasting cap
for the same sex yeah it's going to function the same as it's not going to be tnt because
again there's a lot of issues that get involved with it here we have a russian type grenade
that what we're going to do is we're going to set this one off underneath the block of gel
to see what happens and both of these right here like i said will be filled with a tnt equivalent
and it'll be performing almost the exact same as if we were using the actual original filler sounds
great let's let's let's have bill volunteer and lay out yes thanks a lot for your service bill
we'll lay him chest down on the grenade like he jumped on it right yeah basically okay
and then which uh butt to do this safely we're not gonna pull the pin and run because that's
not safe so right so this is a um american style grenade fuse and it's completely live we use these
in some other videos but we're not being used we're not gonna be using these today for safety
reasons because you got like five to eight seconds depending on the manufacturer and how
they felt that day i'm not really going to bank it on that i'm a fast runner but not that fast
so what we're going to do is we took some grenade fuses their dummy fuses and we drilled them out
to be the mount uh it acts as a seal as a cap really because we'll fill it with
the explosive and then this is also going to hold a blasty cat electric plastic cap inside
so that'll set off the the the grenade with commandet which is way safer because we can be
you know i'm good right yeah i'm not trying to die anytime soon i heard that's a real crimp on life
but this was just to demonstrate that this is available but we're not going to be using
that today but it functions the same way it's just basically a pyrotechnic fuse
initiated by a spring striker to a blasting cap that's all it is it doesn't really like doing this
doesn't really change the performance whatsoever it has don't die we just don't want to die right
okay so we'll do is we'll place it right there and then see what happens all right y'all ready
all right all right you ready ready
turn the hole cool sent pieces everywhere i lived bill not so much
oh yeah look the gel stretched about six foot
let's start here because this is where we were where's the plywood surrounded by it
wow i mean there's no there's no the plywood's gone to
everywhere we have concrete chunks and then of course bill how is bill
what is oh that must be from an earlier video that's a blow gun skewer oh man okay pokey things
just ripped them in half ripped them in half right there you see all the frag tracks too yeah yeah so
i wonder it looks like the frags just went through and we may not have caught in any though and what
was amazing is on the high speed you actually see it stretch like silly putty like like five foot
stretch blitzy gelatin gives a great um gives a great amount of information about the effect of
the explosion of course there was no body armor which would have sure obviously deflected a lot
of the the blast and obviously wouldn't have this direct injury right on the cavity before
we did we did a video a long time ago demonstrated that still though you don't want a grenade going
off right there even without gonna have a bad day it's gonna be a bad day but in this case
without the body armor yeah that you would have been you know missed me it's which is pretty
impressive there's still bits and pieces of the gel around here and i've seen gels get shot with
some you know with 50 cows and whatnot and they still pretty much stay together for the most part
but a grenade has far more energy than a 50 cal even out of the muzzle
so i guess we'll do it again yep ready for the next little bit of fun but we're doing this stuff
with a yep we'll see what happens with another boom so now we have a gel block and then which one
was this this right here is a polish hand grenade i forget the specific model designation but we
filled it up with um a charge of that equivalent for tnt and what we're going to do is hopefully
we'll be able to get the fragmentation to get into the block one of the things is grenades
is that it's not a predictable weapon where you can tell it's going to hey fragments going to go
in whatever direction they should play more it's pretty obvious that hey fragmentation going that
way that's why they put on that front towards enemy and make sure you get that right with a
grenade it detonates and throws fragmentation in all manner of direction so we may get
uh some huge chunks in there we may get nothing and so we're just gonna have to kind of see what
happens but hopefully we'll be able to capture some of the fragmentation getting in here and um
showing the effect on that and you've done other stuff with uh watchable musicians yeah yeah so you
probably able to talk about what the difference is the effects and all that good stuff i mean
in the main senses it's just like uh just human tissue would be soft tissue in the first place so
if it goes this deep it would be that deep in your chest that's not cool yeah have a bad day right
so we have a little contraption here is just just a stand for the yeah this is what it is
jake made for us to when we were doing a lot of our grenades testing
and so it fits in there like that and we'll put the block here next to it with a little
bit of standoff and then when it detonates again hopefully we'll get the fragmentation getting here
into the block and we'll see what happens let's rig it and blow it all right all right ready ready
whoa that was louder
that was loud
so
yikes oh man well that [ __ ] charged wow yeah that was a hell of a boom i was surprised how
loud it was um that like i was like yeah i would never be loud but um that was definitely well done
jake on the explosion that's his actual proprietary uh mixture that he's made up
and it obviously works quite well that's awesome and now i see the gel block 25 meters away
and here's the detonation part you can see where it leveled everything out and that was
why jake put it up on the like hopefully putting it up there and kept the dirt down from because
normally we have a blast like you get a lot of dirt that obscures um what's actually going on
okay so frags are what we're going for but
okay so the block is supposed to be about this long it just took off half the block
and we the back end of it there's there's there's no fragmentation deep
there's some some you can see some went through tiny pieces and but this was
was this really much of a frag grenade as it has like a pineapple so yeah the metal
hole on the grenade uh would definitely cause fragmentation and you can see the fragmentation
there and there and here but remember when the block starts getting launched it changes the
trajectory of the of the mutation so if you're watching a lot of videos where they do uh tests
of of uh projectiles it falls short because the block gets launched okay and curves so the bullet
path gets changed it's not a straight path to the block anymore yeah that's just part of our casing
of that grenade that's the grenade case yeah so that right there is an example this would have
flown right through somebody and caused a massive amount of damage we're talking like it should yeah
so imagine it it's about 10 inches into it yeah so this is only maybe about a couple grams tops
of metal but it was traveling at several thousand meters a second which mass times
velocity squared velocity is what kills you the mass is you know is important but velocity is
obviously the square factor so it's going to have a lot of energy and that's what causes a lot of
damage that's pretty much a good example of how like the grenade it's not a predictable pattern
where it forms nice pretty little um uh shapes it just throws stuff everywhere
right to whom it may concern exactly that's pretty neat so i hope you all enjoyed me enjoying
coming out to blow some frags and stuff up yeah and if they want to see more explosives how do
they do that yeah well we've got stuff we've done armed rockets returned a model rocket into
a explosive rocket and launched downrange down claymores frag grenades pressure cooker bombs
um thermobaric weapons we're working on some other stuff like movie type things cool previously we
did a recreation of breaking bad where uh gus friend got killed and he blew up the nursing
home ball we've done that we got a whole bunch of exciting stuff coming up in the future so
check that out we're at ordnance lab and find us there on youtube we'll leave a link down below and
of course we're going to do top shot tree service while we're here so make
sure you check those videos out as well thanks for coming by okay i love you bye
hahaha
did you see that come on come on i said i came in like a wrecking ball
oh perfect
