hey what’s up guys welcome back to the shop in this video today we’re doing one
shop in this video today we’re doing one
shop in this video today we’re doing one of those experiments that you really
of those experiments that you really
of those experiments that you really shouldn’t try at home we’re gonna be
shouldn’t try at home we’re gonna be
shouldn’t try at home we’re gonna be taking one of these brass cartridge
taking one of these brass cartridge
taking one of these brass cartridge casings loading it with the ear plug and
casings loading it with the ear plug and
casings loading it with the ear plug and trying to shoot it out of a Glock 19
trying to shoot it out of a Glock 19
trying to shoot it out of a Glock 19 now the inspiration for today’s
now the inspiration for today’s
now the inspiration for today’s experiment comes from a youtube channel
experiment comes from a youtube channel
experiment comes from a youtube channel called twang and bang and one of his
called twang and bang and one of his
called twang and bang and one of his videos I discovered a couple years ago
videos I discovered a couple years ago
videos I discovered a couple years ago where he was using ear plugs for target
where he was using ear plugs for target
where he was using ear plugs for target practice apparently if you take an empty
practice apparently if you take an empty
practice apparently if you take an empty cartridge casing with a single primer
cartridge casing with a single primer
cartridge casing with a single primer and fill it with the ear plug you can
and fill it with the ear plug you can
and fill it with the ear plug you can actually get it to shoot at reasonable
actually get it to shoot at reasonable
actually get it to shoot at reasonable speeds so the purpose of our experiment
speeds so the purpose of our experiment
speeds so the purpose of our experiment today is really to see if we can
today is really to see if we can
today is really to see if we can replicate those results using a Glock 19
replicate those results using a Glock 19
replicate those results using a Glock 19 handgun and some empty nine-millimeter
handgun and some empty nine-millimeter
handgun and some empty nine-millimeter casings a standard round of ammunition
casings a standard round of ammunition
casings a standard round of ammunition has three main components it’s got a
has three main components it’s got a
has three main components it’s got a primer it’s got the gun powder inside
primer it’s got the gun powder inside
primer it’s got the gun powder inside and it’s got the bullet that gets
and it’s got the bullet that gets
and it’s got the bullet that gets projected out at great speed but take
projected out at great speed but take
projected out at great speed but take away the bullet empty out the Gunpowder
away the bullet empty out the Gunpowder
away the bullet empty out the Gunpowder and all we’re left with is the primer
and all we’re left with is the primer
and all we’re left with is the primer and the cartridge casing which amazingly
and the cartridge casing which amazingly
and the cartridge casing which amazingly is just the right size for accepting a
is just the right size for accepting a
is just the right size for accepting a generic ear plug now before we jump into
generic ear plug now before we jump into
generic ear plug now before we jump into this experiment I do want to stress that
this experiment I do want to stress that
this experiment I do want to stress that guns are not toys this is not an
guns are not toys this is not an
guns are not toys this is not an experiment I want you to replicate at
experiment I want you to replicate at
experiment I want you to replicate at home it is merely to show the power of
home it is merely to show the power of
home it is merely to show the power of the primer itself the primer is the main
the primer itself the primer is the main
the primer itself the primer is the main source of ignition in a bullet but for
source of ignition in a bullet but for
source of ignition in a bullet but for this video I wanted to show you just how
this video I wanted to show you just how
this video I wanted to show you just how powerful they are in and of themselves
powerful they are in and of themselves
powerful they are in and of themselves so the premise of this experiment is
so the premise of this experiment is
so the premise of this experiment is actually very very simple we’re just
actually very very simple we’re just
actually very very simple we’re just gonna take an empty cartridge casing
gonna take an empty cartridge casing
gonna take an empty cartridge casing with a fresh primer we’re gonna take one
with a fresh primer we’re gonna take one
with a fresh primer we’re gonna take one earplug we’re gonna squish that end down
earplug we’re gonna squish that end down
earplug we’re gonna squish that end down push the two together and let the
push the two together and let the
push the two together and let the earplug re expand we’re gonna simply
earplug re expand we’re gonna simply
earplug re expand we’re gonna simply load that into the chamber point it in
load that into the chamber point it in
load that into the chamber point it in the safe direction pull the trigger and
the safe direction pull the trigger and
the safe direction pull the trigger and see what happens now whether or not
see what happens now whether or not
see what happens now whether or not you’re playing with toy guns or real
you’re playing with toy guns or real
you’re playing with toy guns or real firearms all the standard safety
firearms all the standard safety
firearms all the standard safety procedures do apply never point at
procedures do apply never point at
procedures do apply never point at people any living thing and always treat
people any living thing and always treat
people any living thing and always treat the gun as if it’s loaded with a live
the gun as if it’s loaded with a live
the gun as if it’s loaded with a live round of ammunition with that being said
round of ammunition with that being said
round of ammunition with that being said let’s go ahead and load our earplug
let’s go ahead and load our earplug
let’s go ahead and load our earplug bullets into our Glock 19 blow up some
bullets into our Glock 19 blow up some
bullets into our Glock 19 blow up some balloons and pull the trigger to see
balloons and pull the trigger to see
balloons and pull the trigger to see what happens
so here we are guys moment of truth
so here we are guys moment of truth we’ve got all of our balloons flown up
we’ve got all of our balloons flown up
we’ve got all of our balloons flown up and taped to the wall I think we need to
and taped to the wall I think we need to
and taped to the wall I think we need to take the first shot at the green one in
take the first shot at the green one in
take the first shot at the green one in the middle using an orange earplug
the middle using an orange earplug
the middle using an orange earplug bullet so you can see we’ve got no
bullet so you can see we’ve got no
bullet so you can see we’ve got no magazine we’ve got one earplug bullet in
magazine we’ve got one earplug bullet in
magazine we’ve got one earplug bullet in the chamber let’s make it count okay so
the chamber let’s make it count okay so
the chamber let’s make it count okay so I was aiming for the green balloon it
I was aiming for the green balloon it
I was aiming for the green balloon it took the green balloon out you can
took the green balloon out you can
took the green balloon out you can actually see a mark on the wall right
actually see a mark on the wall right
actually see a mark on the wall right now where the earplug hit it oh my
now where the earplug hit it oh my
now where the earplug hit it oh my goodness okay so this might not be the
goodness okay so this might not be the
goodness okay so this might not be the smartest thing to do you can actually
smartest thing to do you can actually
smartest thing to do you can actually see it’s actually put a hole in my wall
see it’s actually put a hole in my wall
see it’s actually put a hole in my wall an indentation shaped like an earplug I
an indentation shaped like an earplug I
an indentation shaped like an earplug I went straight through that balloon and
went straight through that balloon and
went straight through that balloon and bang on straight into the wall so
bang on straight into the wall so
bang on straight into the wall so apparently even though this is an
apparently even though this is an
apparently even though this is an earplug it carries a tremendous amount
earplug it carries a tremendous amount
earplug it carries a tremendous amount of force which is wild because there’s
of force which is wild because there’s
of force which is wild because there’s no gunpowder in there all we’re using is
no gunpowder in there all we’re using is
no gunpowder in there all we’re using is the primer itself to project it it’s not
the primer itself to project it it’s not
the primer itself to project it it’s not amazing let’s try another one
alright guys for the second shot I don’t
alright guys for the second shot I don’t really want to damage my house much more
really want to damage my house much more
really want to damage my house much more than I have done already so I’ve
than I have done already so I’ve
than I have done already so I’ve attached the balloons to this crafting
attached the balloons to this crafting
attached the balloons to this crafting mat which will hopefully soften the
mat which will hopefully soften the
mat which will hopefully soften the impact and prevent any more holes in my
impact and prevent any more holes in my
impact and prevent any more holes in my wall for the shot I’m gonna go for that
wall for the shot I’m gonna go for that
wall for the shot I’m gonna go for that green balloon on the bottom left oh I
green balloon on the bottom left oh I
green balloon on the bottom left oh I missed I missed but where did that hit
missed I missed but where did that hit
missed I missed but where did that hit it might have been a little bit low
alright chambers clear I was aiming for
alright chambers clear I was aiming for this balloon right here I don’t know if
this balloon right here I don’t know if
this balloon right here I don’t know if they hit it or not so let’s load up
they hit it or not so let’s load up
they hit it or not so let’s load up another one and try it again
which one pop the one on the left oh
which one pop the one on the left oh yeah it’s an orange balloon because you
yeah it’s an orange balloon because you
yeah it’s an orange balloon because you can see it went up to the top so I was
can see it went up to the top so I was
can see it went up to the top so I was going for this green balloon here and I
going for this green balloon here and I
going for this green balloon here and I think it popped the one just to the left
think it popped the one just to the left
think it popped the one just to the left of that orange one which is evidenced by
of that orange one which is evidenced by
of that orange one which is evidenced by the shrapnel you see sticking to the
the shrapnel you see sticking to the
the shrapnel you see sticking to the ceiling right now so either these ear
ceiling right now so either these ear
ceiling right now so either these ear plugs aren’t as aerodynamically accurate
plugs aren’t as aerodynamically accurate
plugs aren’t as aerodynamically accurate as I was hoping they would be or I’m
as I was hoping they would be or I’m
as I was hoping they would be or I’m just a very poor shot in case we’ve got
just a very poor shot in case we’ve got
just a very poor shot in case we’ve got a couple more rounds we can try a few
a couple more rounds we can try a few
a couple more rounds we can try a few more shots and see if we get anything
more shots and see if we get anything
more shots and see if we get anything different this time I’m going for the
different this time I’m going for the
different this time I’m going for the blue one and dead center
blue one and dead center
blue one and dead center Oh a little to the right interesting
Oh a little to the right interesting
Oh a little to the right interesting alright chambers clear while we’re here
alright chambers clear while we’re here
alright chambers clear while we’re here I’m going to go for one more
which one did I hit oh look the bullet
which one did I hit oh look the bullet bounced back look at this I hope we
bounced back look at this I hope we
bounced back look at this I hope we actually recovered the bullet
actually recovered the bullet
actually recovered the bullet it’s got scorch marks there’s like
it’s got scorch marks there’s like
it’s got scorch marks there’s like ripped in half and it’s got scorch marks
ripped in half and it’s got scorch marks
ripped in half and it’s got scorch marks in it but that is the bullet that we
in it but that is the bullet that we
in it but that is the bullet that we just shot it bounced off the wall and
just shot it bounced off the wall and
just shot it bounced off the wall and rolled up my workbench here okay so
rolled up my workbench here okay so
rolled up my workbench here okay so we’ve seen primers by themselves shoot
we’ve seen primers by themselves shoot
we’ve seen primers by themselves shoot earplugs off with tremendous force I
earplugs off with tremendous force I
earplugs off with tremendous force I have a couple more shells here that
have a couple more shells here that
have a couple more shells here that still have the Gunpowder in them so what
still have the Gunpowder in them so what
still have the Gunpowder in them so what do you think will happen if we add
do you think will happen if we add
do you think will happen if we add earplugs to gunpowder will that make any
earplugs to gunpowder will that make any
earplugs to gunpowder will that make any kind of a difference so I have two ear
kind of a difference so I have two ear
kind of a difference so I have two ear plug bullets here one green one orange
plug bullets here one green one orange
plug bullets here one green one orange and these cartridges are filled with
and these cartridges are filled with
and these cartridges are filled with gunpowder as well so let’s see how much
gunpowder as well so let’s see how much
gunpowder as well so let’s see how much of a difference the Gunpowder makes I’m
of a difference the Gunpowder makes I’m
of a difference the Gunpowder makes I’m still thinking that bottom green would
still thinking that bottom green would
still thinking that bottom green would be a good shot so let’s go for that oh
dang that was loud
dang that was loud that was ear piercing lis loud I still
that was ear piercing lis loud I still
that was ear piercing lis loud I still missed the green balloon you can see
missed the green balloon you can see
missed the green balloon you can see it’s still intact but that was Wow like
it’s still intact but that was Wow like
it’s still intact but that was Wow like I think next time I need to put your
I think next time I need to put your
I think next time I need to put your putts in my ears as well as the gun so
putts in my ears as well as the gun so
putts in my ears as well as the gun so adding gunpowder definitely more power
adding gunpowder definitely more power
adding gunpowder definitely more power definitely a lot louder not much more
definitely a lot louder not much more
definitely a lot louder not much more accuracy of course it might just be user
accuracy of course it might just be user
accuracy of course it might just be user error right over here I can actually
error right over here I can actually
error right over here I can actually smell the Gunpowder I can smell that
smell the Gunpowder I can smell that
smell the Gunpowder I can smell that smokeless powder it smells delicious it
smokeless powder it smells delicious it
smokeless powder it smells delicious it smells like the fourth of July fantastic
smells like the fourth of July fantastic
smells like the fourth of July fantastic let’s see if we can find the bullet so
let’s see if we can find the bullet so
let’s see if we can find the bullet so just found the green ear plug here
just found the green ear plug here
just found the green ear plug here what’s really interesting is there’s a
what’s really interesting is there’s a
what’s really interesting is there’s a hole in the top here and it seems to be
hole in the top here and it seems to be
hole in the top here and it seems to be very consistent like most of them have
very consistent like most of them have
very consistent like most of them have these little holes near the top I’m not
these little holes near the top I’m not
these little holes near the top I’m not sure if that’s because it’s hanging up
sure if that’s because it’s hanging up
sure if that’s because it’s hanging up in the barrel or something but that’s a
in the barrel or something but that’s a
in the barrel or something but that’s a little bit odd that’ll just be chunks
little bit odd that’ll just be chunks
little bit odd that’ll just be chunks missing out of the top probably have
missing out of the top probably have
missing out of the top probably have something to do with the friction of the
something to do with the friction of the
something to do with the friction of the barrel we can see the rest of the plug
barrel we can see the rest of the plug
barrel we can see the rest of the plug is so in tact cool round 2 and this time
is so in tact cool round 2 and this time
is so in tact cool round 2 and this time I’ve got your plugs in my ears once
I’ve got your plugs in my ears once
I’ve got your plugs in my ears once again I’m going for that stubborn green
again I’m going for that stubborn green
again I’m going for that stubborn green one from the bottom left
one from the bottom left
one from the bottom left nailed it yeah oh my gosh holy heck Oh
nailed it yeah oh my gosh holy heck Oh
nailed it yeah oh my gosh holy heck Oh oh my goodness look at that it put a
oh my goodness look at that it put a
oh my goodness look at that it put a hole straight through my craft mat oh it
hole straight through my craft mat oh it
hole straight through my craft mat oh it actually put a hole through my wall as
actually put a hole through my wall as
actually put a hole through my wall as well or at least it dented it if you
well or at least it dented it if you
well or at least it dented it if you look down there there’s quite a bit of
look down there there’s quite a bit of
look down there there’s quite a bit of damage so from this map being bubbled a
damage so from this map being bubbled a
damage so from this map being bubbled a little bit apparently there was enough
little bit apparently there was enough
little bit apparently there was enough powder in that ear plug to go straight
powder in that ear plug to go straight
powder in that ear plug to go straight through this mat which I’ve cut this
through this mat which I’ve cut this
through this mat which I’ve cut this with scissors I’ve cut
with scissors I’ve cut
with scissors I’ve cut exacto knives and I’ve never been able
exacto knives and I’ve never been able
exacto knives and I’ve never been able to do any damage to it it’s self-healing
to do any damage to it it’s self-healing
to do any damage to it it’s self-healing but that your plug went straight through
but that your plug went straight through
but that your plug went straight through it and left a nice little scar on the
it and left a nice little scar on the
it and left a nice little scar on the wall behind better do it again let’s go
wall behind better do it again let’s go
wall behind better do it again let’s go for the top green where did that one hit
for the top green where did that one hit
for the top green where did that one hit oh look at that
oh look at that
oh look at that this mat is destroyed I have to buy a
this mat is destroyed I have to buy a
this mat is destroyed I have to buy a new one it went straight through it hit
new one it went straight through it hit
new one it went straight through it hit the wall bounced off I was aiming for
the wall bounced off I was aiming for
the wall bounced off I was aiming for this green one apparently I was off a
this green one apparently I was off a
this green one apparently I was off a little bit to the left
little bit to the left
little bit to the left so look at that it shredded that mat
so look at that it shredded that mat
so look at that it shredded that mat that is unbelievable
that is unbelievable
that is unbelievable that’s an earplug all right I got one
that’s an earplug all right I got one
that’s an earplug all right I got one shot left guys I’m going for that orange
shot left guys I’m going for that orange
shot left guys I’m going for that orange one just to the left of the blue and
one just to the left of the blue and
one just to the left of the blue and right underneath the green we got one
right underneath the green we got one
right underneath the green we got one shot to make you pee on a completely
shot to make you pee on a completely
shot to make you pee on a completely destroying my wall but I’m doing it for
destroying my wall but I’m doing it for
destroying my wall but I’m doing it for you
you
you are we learning something here haha okay
are we learning something here haha okay
are we learning something here haha okay a little bit high so it looks like I hit
a little bit high so it looks like I hit
a little bit high so it looks like I hit a little bit high and to the left I
a little bit high and to the left I
a little bit high and to the left I check out that green one there and if
check out that green one there and if
check out that green one there and if you look at the mat here it doesn’t look
you look at the mat here it doesn’t look
you look at the mat here it doesn’t look like we did any damage until you pull
like we did any damage until you pull
like we did any damage until you pull this forward or push it back it actually
this forward or push it back it actually
this forward or push it back it actually took out that entire section almost as
took out that entire section almost as
took out that entire section almost as one clean circle look at that let’s go
one clean circle look at that let’s go
one clean circle look at that let’s go ahead and take this down let’s look at
ahead and take this down let’s look at
ahead and take this down let’s look at the damage it’s left behind on the wall
oh gosh that was not a good idea
oh gosh that was not a good idea alright so duct tape on the wall and
alright so duct tape on the wall and
alright so duct tape on the wall and does that be getting that fixed have to
does that be getting that fixed have to
does that be getting that fixed have to hang a picture there or something that
hang a picture there or something that
hang a picture there or something that was our first shot right there left a
was our first shot right there left a
was our first shot right there left a nice little indentation that was our
nice little indentation that was our
nice little indentation that was our second shot that went through the craft
second shot that went through the craft
second shot that went through the craft paper and then over here we’ve got
paper and then over here we’ve got
paper and then over here we’ve got another indentation now I didn’t see any
another indentation now I didn’t see any
another indentation now I didn’t see any damage from that last shot and just
damage from that last shot and just
damage from that last shot and just crack the board itself but here we have
crack the board itself but here we have
crack the board itself but here we have a totally damaged wall and the most
a totally damaged wall and the most
a totally damaged wall and the most damaged ironically is done from the duct
damaged ironically is done from the duct
damaged ironically is done from the duct tape itself that was used to tape the
tape itself that was used to tape the

using duct tape
using duct tape lesson learned so there you have a guy’s
lesson learned so there you have a guy’s
lesson learned so there you have a guy’s ear plug bullets it’s a relatively
ear plug bullets it’s a relatively
ear plug bullets it’s a relatively viable idea and shoot him off here today
viable idea and shoot him off here today
viable idea and shoot him off here today we learned a few things first of all we
we learned a few things first of all we
we learned a few things first of all we learned that just because there’s no
learned that just because there’s no
learned that just because there’s no bullet and no gunpowder in a cartridge
bullet and no gunpowder in a cartridge
bullet and no gunpowder in a cartridge casing doesn’t mean that they’re safe if
casing doesn’t mean that they’re safe if
casing doesn’t mean that they’re safe if you have a loaded primer on the back it
you have a loaded primer on the back it
you have a loaded primer on the back it can still pack enough punch to send an
can still pack enough punch to send an
can still pack enough punch to send an earplug bullet flying and leave a fairly

earplug bullet flying and leave a fairly substantial impression in the side of
substantial impression in the side of
substantial impression in the side of your wall taking time to actually aim
your wall taking time to actually aim
your wall taking time to actually aim the gun at a specific target had mixed
the gun at a specific target had mixed
the gun at a specific target had mixed results sometimes we hit the targets
results sometimes we hit the targets
results sometimes we hit the targets dead-on and other times they seem to
dead-on and other times they seem to
dead-on and other times they seem to miss completely missing the target by up
miss completely missing the target by up
miss completely missing the target by up to 5 inches for one final experiment we
to 5 inches for one final experiment we
to 5 inches for one final experiment we tried firing ear plugs from cartridge
tried firing ear plugs from cartridge
tried firing ear plugs from cartridge casings with the gunpowder left in them
casings with the gunpowder left in them
casings with the gunpowder left in them to see what kind of a difference that
to see what kind of a difference that
to see what kind of a difference that made and the biggest difference I
made and the biggest difference I
made and the biggest difference I noticed is how loud they were I have no
noticed is how loud they were I have no
noticed is how loud they were I have no way to measure how much faster those
way to measure how much faster those
way to measure how much faster those projectiles were going but they
projectiles were going but they
projectiles were going but they definitely left a lot of damage on my
definitely left a lot of damage on my
definitely left a lot of damage on my wall and the bang was so loud it left my
wall and the bang was so loud it left my
wall and the bang was so loud it left my eardrums ringing so the point were
eardrums ringing so the point were
eardrums ringing so the point were actually used earplugs for their
actually used earplugs for their
actually used earplugs for their intended use so there you have a guy’s
intended use so there you have a guy’s
intended use so there you have a guy’s ear plug bullets they fire they fire
ear plug bullets they fire they fire
ear plug bullets they fire they fire very quickly they can do a lot of damage
very quickly they can do a lot of damage
very quickly they can do a lot of damage is this an experiment you could try at
is this an experiment you could try at
is this an experiment you could try at home possibly is it something you should
home possibly is it something you should
home possibly is it something you should try probably not
try probably not
try probably not but thanks for joining me for this
but thanks for joining me for this
but thanks for joining me for this experiment today so we can see exactly
experiment today so we can see exactly
experiment today so we can see exactly what happens if you did I’ll see you in
what happens if you did I’ll see you in
what happens if you did I’ll see you in the next video talk to you that might be
the next video talk to you that might be
the next video talk to you that might be a stupid thing to do
and all we’re left with is the cartridge
and all we’re left with is the cartridge casing we were shooting earplugs I’m
casing we were shooting earplugs I’m
casing we were shooting earplugs I’m kind of a rector rector wall a little
