We found a solution for the component shortage! 

😂

me to bro

its not that unrealistic but it is an absurd waste of time and materials like it would be much easier, faster, and less wasteful to press the cases and cast the projectiles not to mention the cases wont be as strong as traditional brass and likely wouldnt stand up to the same pressure but its still a step in the right direction

i wanted to see their angle, was definitely a fun video! Though this is a good way to make dummy rounds to test and such haha

@toastedprinny oh it was a good video but it also opened the door to question today's manufacturering techniques

Powder can be made at home.

Was skeptical, then I saw when the vid was released.

My Bull is in on this one. He said you can drive around right in back of his pen and you can have as much powder as you want. Just fold your mirrors in because of his horns Ok...

​@@charliejones7574most folks are gonna have a tough time making smokeless powder at home. Black powder isn't too hard.

​@@charliejones7574 Black powder can be made easily. Smokeless powder a lot more challenging. Problem is getting consistency (so you don't blow the firearm up) and degradation.

Me too, and this is the first time i knew it before watching the video....sometimes i'm a little slow on the uptake😁

😂

Haah, well done Sir!- MDT did a good one too with the 94 inch bipod, though their pricing was all too believable 😆

I knew when they didn't do anything with powder or primers lol.

The applications for a lighter weight polymer casing is incredible. My only problem is does the casing diminish over time? Also how does it handle the pressures generated?

Syntech projectiles are all lead with a “polymer” coating.

@@rba5567don’t think ur supposed to reuse.

@@Rashed1255 I wasn't talking about reusing the casing . I was referring to the composite degrading over time due to environmental factors.

Natural methane

You'll never get sufficient energy density using a gas.

​@@sapago4166 typical propellants have terrible energy density. Even ammonia has better energy density than smokeless powder.

@@danielrouw2593 You are right. I was wrong.

What will you do if it they leak? You have have to have some sort of material that will hold up over time to seal in the gasses. I don't think it's a good idea because remember when they use to use propane as a refrigerant? It worked but they stopped using it because it was not safe. I'm not trying to knock your idea at all. Atleast you are thinking of new stuff I'm just pointing out some things to keep in mind along the way. I think it'll be a better idea just to print the casing and add regular bullets to them and it'll be like a plastic bullet. But the whole idea is to have an alternative way of ammo if you can't get the regular components. I think the way to go is 3D print the case and the bullet because plastic bullets already exists but they cost more to make but just 3D printing the case will bring down the cost of bullets significantly. The only think is how will they pre form and how will they hold up? I think they will do just fine because plastic bullets do relatively well.

Glad you like them!

Well, you can stop it mid print and add it before the projectile is printed. But I'm just overthinking the April 1 thing now :3

Ditto ​@@browniesfox

probably a proprietary secret

I was wondering? Maybe powder then primer?

Walmart solved that problem years ago. I have their super delux Nerf AR15.

Yep, would love to see you do an "accurizing the StayFar-15" series.

Your drop is always down, so you can assume a similar elevation, but you will have to adjust diagonally for drop. Eyeball it

Glad you enjoyed it!

Wait this was an April fool's joke😢 man I just gave you an great idea to just use the 3D printed case and regular bullets. We already have plastic bullets but 3D printed case with regular bullets would cut down on the cost of the bullets maybe. Depends on how many can be made over a specific time compared to the regular way of making them? I'ma kind bummed it was an April fool's joke😅

There are people using printed ammo. I wouldn't use it personally. But it's still being done by others.

Glad you liked it!

Is it more expensive than regular brass?

@@joleghost was a decade ago. Not sure if they still sell them

The new norm.discusting.

😁
