supporting any nation in the firefighter
is produced by sami the sporting arms
0:21
and ammunition manufactures institute
0:24
sammy was created in nineteen twenty six
at the request of the united states
0:28
federal government to create standards
related to safety and reliability and
0:32
firearms ammunition components
0:35
this video as part of our continuing
mission to promote safety in this case
0:39
by providing firefighters with
fact-based information to help them
0:43
address the realities of fires they
contain sporting ammunition
0:47
peachy around the world
0:49
the public shoots billions of cartridges
in shock shells
0:53
rifle and handgun cartridges consist of
a brass case with primer powder and
0:59
shot shells are similar
1:01
but also have a wild that holds the shot
1:04
sporting a new nation include shot
schultz oh two eighty eight
1:08
and handgun rifle cartridges up to fifty
caliber
1:12
this video examine sporting ammunition
only it does not address military or law
1:17
enforcement and initiatives such as tear
gas cartridges tracers or incendiary
1:24
these demonstrations do not apply to a
loaded firearm
1:28
in a fire patching bird firearm we'll
shoot as if the trigger was pulled
1:33
sammy thinks the international
association of fire chiefs for their
1:36
input during the making of this video
1:40
we always encounter rhys and hazards and
before we enter into any
1:45
incident we should be doing a risk
assessment and looking at the levels of
1:49
risk before involved
1:50
i think in the fall of demonstrations
with small arms ammunition he'll also
1:54
realize that the risk is very low he
should be treated no differently than
1:58
any other hazards instructor pilot
2:10
smokeless powders must be confined to
propel a projectile akan velocity
2:15
when not in a firearm
2:16
projectile velocities are extremely low
2:20
to demonstrate this fact a special test
device was made to hold cartridges
2:24
one-at-a-time for igniting and filming
in slow motion
2:28
which will be a shot show is the most
common shot shell available
2:32
without the confinement of a file on
camera
2:35
the shock is not penetrate standard two
hundred pound fiber board at a distance
2:43
projectiles superficially mark the fiber
board
2:46
much of the powder is left on bernie
2:52
unsupported five hundred smith and
wesson magnum handgun cartridge exhibits
2:56
more energy anestachio
2:59
the brass breaks apart and the bullet
may penetrate one sheet of five eighths
3:05
it may not even penetrate their farm
3:10
the four sixteen remington magnum rifle
cartridge
3:13
is one of the largest sporting
cartridges
3:16
but that's similar to magnum handgun
cartridge
3:28
projectiles ignited outside a firearm
3:31
have significantly lower velocities and
energies that man shot from a firearm
3:49
if any nation has dropped in
transportation or storage
3:53
to answer this question
3:55
consumer packages of ammunition were
dropped from a height of sixty five feet
3:59
measured with the weight of world
4:01
the sporting emulation consisted of a
fifty-round box of federal three fifty
4:08
a twenty five around lots of remington
twelve-gauge shot shells
4:12
and a twenty round box of twenty four
fifty eight point four cartridges one of
4:16
the biggest cartridges on the market
4:19
consumer packages of shot shells
handguns and rifles cartridges were
4:22
dropped at the same time
4:25
from this extreme quite
4:27
two of the handgun cartridges ignited
4:29
there was no propagation from cartridge
to cartridge
4:34
three shipping cases of the same
ammunition were dropped from sixty five
4:39
these cases contend two hundred rounds
of rifle cartridges
4:42
two hundred fifty rounds of shots shells
and one thousand rounds of handgun
4:50
none of the ammunition ignited
4:54
when dropped from extreme heights
supporting ammunition is unlikely to
4:58
the cartridge ignites
5:00
it does not propagate
5:11
if a cartridges ignited accidentally
will ignite other cartridges
5:14
the ultimate test is to shoot boxes of
ammunition with a high-power rifle
5:19
ammunition in retail packaging and
shipping cases was placed on a pedestal
5:24
to help contain the impacted cartridges
5:27
which can scanner for twenty to thirty
feet
5:30
the cabinet also protects the
slow-motion camera
5:33
some unacknowledged cartridges were not
found immediately
5:37
but all cartridges were accounted for by
the end of the day
5:41
the three oh eight caliber rifle used
here
5:43
the shooting one hundred fifty green
bullets two thousand six hundred
5:47
tentative per second from a distance of
sixty five yards
5:51
handgun rifle and shot shells were
tested
5:55
a retail box of each type was shot
5:57
followed by shooting a case of the same
ammunition
6:16
four cartridges ignited
6:27
five cartridges ignited
6:34
gunpowder pork out of the impacted
cartridges
6:44
three-card regions where ruptured
without igniting
6:53
five cartridges were damaged
6:55
three of them were ignited
7:11
gunpowder erupted from the shot shells
without igniting
7:21
for shot shells were damaged
7:33
one primary was destroyed which did not
ignite the shot shell
7:41
most of the ammunition did not ignite
7:44
when a cartridge did ignite there was no
chain reaction
8:07
lasting cancer used to ignite quite
forces
8:10
they send out a shockwave and final
manam fragments
8:14
blasting cap was placed inside a box of
four fifty-eight winchester magnum rifle
8:20
the blasting cap destroyed the package
8:22
none of the cartridges ignited
8:33
totally destroyed category
8:39
it was decided to place a blast in
catholic side effect is
8:43
a box of fifty winchester forty-five
cold cartridges was used
8:47
the primer was exposed
8:49
the blasting cap was a fixed on top of
the expos primer
8:54
the targeted cartridge ignited
8:56
but no one around and i didn't
8:58
there was no propagation
9:00
the fifty-round boss was largely
undisturbed
9:03
next an entire two hundred fifty round
case of federal twelve-gauge shot shells
9:09
polls were cut through the fiber board
and consumer packaging to expose a
9:14
the blasting cap was attached directly
against the expos primer
9:18
the targeted shot shelving knighted
9:20
there was no propagation
9:22
the two hundred fifty round case was
largely undisturbed
9:26
the tests showed that blasting caps are
usually unable to ignite sporting
9:31
when placed directly against an expose
primer
9:34
the blasting cap made nine that
cartridge
9:37
there was no propagation from cartridge
to cartridge
9:44
ignition using a blasting cap is
difficult and is not propagate
10:00
a forklift was driven at high speed into
a pallet of ammunition
10:05
there was no addition
10:07
damage to the ammunition was negligible
10:12
worst-case scenario it was decided
10:23
two hundred mounting federal seven
millimeter remington magnum rifle
10:28
two hundred rounds of point eighteen
forty four magnum handgun cartridges
10:32
and two hundred fifty rounds of federal
twelve-gauge magnum shot shells
10:37
the bulldozer crushed the cases
10:39
no ammunition was ignited
10:51
since crushing the ammunition did not
cause the sporting a new nation to
10:55
it was decided to conduct an extreme
test
10:58
all the packaging was removed
11:00
the ammunition was left in piles on the
ground
11:04
the bulldozers and won't be any nation
on the asphalt
11:08
this demonstration is extreme
11:10
but it shows and missions resistance to
accidentally mixed
11:13
during thirty seconds of grinding
11:15
screenshot shell primers were ignited
11:19
many climbers were crushed without
igniting
11:28
two one four climbers were ignited
11:33
no propagation occur
11:39
many cartridges were crushed without
igniting
11:58
none of the handgun cartridges ignited
12:12
unlikely to overnight and does not
propagating
12:28
a bonfire of packaging munition was
conducted
12:31
the purpose was to measure the danger of
projectiles from an ammunition fire
12:35
demonstrate that sporting ammunition
does not mass explode in a fire
12:40
twenty eight thousand rounds of sporting
ammunition were placed on a bench table
12:44
above award and diesel bonfire
12:47
nine witness hands were placed around
the fire fifteen to fifty feet from the
12:53
the witness stand speech consisted of a
two-by-four would rectangle
12:57
this dog wall frame was covered front
and back one tool for twenty eight foot
13:01
sheets of five aids and she rock
13:04
diesel fuel was applied to the working
people people
13:10
the bonfire was ignited
13:15
the ammunition began to ignite
13:20
the ammunition was not fully involved
13:56
melted plastic from shot shelton's
burned on the ground
14:09
witnessed plates that we've set up
meetings the proc
14:12
various distances from the fire could
show exactly how much
14:16
get them and with what portion
14:21
only a few pieces of the ammunition
actually went through the first piece of
14:25
sheet rock and none penetrated the
second
14:28
a lot of the pieces of any action stuck
in the sheetrock
14:31
and install bcn for treating from it
14:35
we stepped out from behind the shelter
that was used for the video cameras
14:39
in our poll firefighter turnout birthday
shield vannatter helmet
14:43
and were able to feel some of the pieces
of the ammunition striker turn out here
14:47
in fall into the ground
14:48
nothing more than a force to actually
carry into the turnout here or injury
14:53
conditioned upon your convenient
imitating
14:56
the noise is intense
14:58
you can see and here projectiles flying
past you
15:02
this test demonstrated that sporting a
munitions and a large and intense finder
15:06
does not create projectiles dangerous to
firefighters within a reasonable working
15:16
supporting ammunition fires are no easy
15:19
but the projectiles have low-energy and
remarks we can't find one sheet rocket
15:25
normal turnout here will protect the
firefighter at a reasonable working
15:59
eighteen thousand rounds of sporting
ammunition were placed in a matchbox
16:02
without and packaging
16:04
the bonfire was doused with diesel
16:29
the absence of back and did not increase
the intensity of the fire
16:36
put heat anti-white cost the state of
the collapse
16:53
the plastic from johnson one early
morning after the wouldn't be so fun or
17:09
the lack of packaging did not cause the
ammunition to burn more fiercely
17:13
no explosion occurred
17:42
one hundred fifteen thousand rounds of
sporting ammunition were placed in a
17:45
simulated retail store
17:48
this included shot shell
17:49
handgun rifle ammunition
17:52
there was a large amount of ammunition
in a small area
17:56
the warden diesel fire was intense
17:58
these factors created an unusually
intense ammunition fire
18:04
the fire was ignited
18:32
making approach with two different
attack lines
18:36
cutting off a mobile
19:10
rich completed the firefight on up
19:12
retail store of over a hundred thousand
rows of sorghum ammunition
19:17
we came up with two different poses
19:20
officer to put his wide pattern of life
was almost immediately affected david i
19:26
came around behind him
19:28
with that never or fog and reach the
back of the building
19:32
and we were very effective it worked
really fast
19:35
who are approaching the borrower or what
19:37
any project alpharetta anything that
came out before was very low velocity
19:42
and uh... nobody got strep that will
make in our fire vaccinate projectiles
19:49
the wall in this room was a normal
stonewall made up of two going forward
19:53
the front of the wall was covered by
finding tension brock
19:57
the backside all consisted of seven
sixteenths inch would wait for board
20:02
the sheetrock was tested more severely
mister than in the bonfire
20:07
the sheet wanted the scenario is only
zero two five feet from the ammunition
20:12
none of the one hundred fifteen thousand
rounds was more than twelve feet away
20:17
there were many penetrations of the
sheetrock
20:21
as she brought penetrations from best
seen by the sheet rock dust on the wood
20:27
no evidence of any penetration or even
any dent was found on the would she be
20:32
at one place in the wall there were two
pieces of sheetrock overlapping
20:41
the fire was controlled within ten
seconds
20:44
projectiles were mobile on city
20:46
printed nineteen p two firefighters
21:00
five pallets of sporting any nation
containing two hundred fifty two
21:04
thousand rounds were placed in a semi
trailer
21:06
wood and paper fuel was piled against
the palace
21:12
the fuel unbalance was so put ten
gallons of diesel fuel
21:16
the fire was ignited
21:36
firefighters had path of the project and
struck central time
21:41
nineteen percent right
22:00
redistricting semi trailer fire
22:03
were able to get up here
22:05
and not the fire down very quickly with
which you attack lines
22:08
we had to climb up into the trailer and
get some of it
22:11
hidden hot spots back behind the pallets
of anything
22:15
and we really usual ammunition still
going on
22:22
i walked up to the fire after it was
then fall blaze a name initially was
22:27
going up very quickly
22:29
and i've seen that happen
22:30
penetration rocket previous tests so i
came up to test it out mcdonough
22:38
being threatened and times
22:41
pain sensation or didn't feel very hard
from our vantage point i was pumping the
22:48
supply in the water for the forest
persons from what i saw in the just in
22:54
of the the rooms for all
23:00
journey of a lot of rooms everything was
coming out
23:02
per portions of the trailer the willing
to work
23:06
uh... everything from our vantage point
was
23:13
the fire was controlled within ten
seconds
23:16
projectiles were low velocity
23:19
but did not impede the firefighters
23:34
over four hundred thousand rounds of
ammunition were used during the
23:38
demonstrations shown in this video
23:40
these demonstrations confront that
sporting ammunition is difficult to
23:45
ammunition does not propagate burned
were exploding and subjected to extreme
23:51
when subjected to fire
23:52
ammunition is loud and won't just small
debris
23:56
however these projectiles could not be
injured firefighters were inhibit them
23:59
from proceeding with their duties in the
immediate vicinity of a fire
24:04
firefighters may safely and quickly
extinguished burning admission with
24:08
standard method using water
24:11
firefighting personnel must wear
standard fire protective gear including
24:15
self-contained breathing apparatus and
keep it on while extinguishing hot spots
24:19
after the fire was controlled
24:22
sporting ammunition does not pose a fine
air force accident hazard substantially
24:26
different from other common commodities
24:28
and in fact it's months ago was and
cancelled products
