Thermal View of machine guns, suppressors, tracers and bullets

[MarkTools]

The swedish version of BAR is cool!

[100PercentGreen]

Ricocheting tracers look so friggin' cool.

[carjunks]

If you like what you see; consider contacting your elected representative about a repeal of the Hughes Amendment to the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act of 1986. A repeal of the Hughes Amendment would once again allow legal registration of automatic weapons (in accordance with the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968) for civilian use.

hahaha i love how he tracers at the end fly so high when the ricochet

[norwegianwiking]

Interesting stuff, particularly how the heat seemed to radiate rapidly through the barrel of the Swedish BAR.

Also, the BARs magazine seemed to show up rather hot. Any particular reason for that?

[ThaddeusMcSpalding]

Second Amendment FTW! lol

[Raymax01985]

Cool video! The backstop at the end wasn't doing a very good job of catching bullets though haha.

[rideordiewarren]

Not a silencer, flash supressor.

[Mongo63a]

Wrong, it is a suppressor (aka silencer) not a flash suppressor.

[drewnickel]

@Mongo63a well it doesn't seem to work real well, the muzzleblast can still be easily heard. maybe it lowers it a bit but it's not an effective silencer

[Mongo63a]

@drewnickel They are effective enough so that you do not have to wear hearing protection. The subsonic crack from the bullet is louder than the report from the muzzle. Typically a sniper will utilize one so that he shoots past a sound reflecting object to obscure his location. The military is starting to use more of them every day to protect the troops hearing and improve communications since they do not have to wear ear plugs and the muzzle blast does not deafen them.

[opmike343]

Haha, wow. Only on YouTube.

[rideordiewarren]

Intelligent response. Typical of youtube, eh?

The description did not point to the fact it was a "Noise Suppressor", which is a silencer. There are more than one type of "suppressor." But you are the only ones that are around weapons, no one else in the world has ever worked on weapons before.

[Hypnot47]

it has a supressor n still does all that noise O.o?

[Mongo63a]

Yes it is a suppressor but they do not make guns like you see them in the movies.

[Hypnot47]

@Mongo63a well at 0:35 the supressor is doing its job, basicly u only hear the guns mechanisms, but at 0:45 does alot more noise. it seems like its another weapon, or is it because the guy is filming a bit forward?

[Mongo63a]

mic placement makes a huge difference as well as reflective noise from the sonic crack of the bullet flight.

[zarn02]

That's pretty cool.

[norwegiangangsta]

something new!

[Schleicherification]

Great, cool idea!!!!

[weaponeer]
