M44 Mosin Nagant Fireballs filmed with high speed camera

[TheKoba49]

very interesting video I like the slow motion, The blast from the carbines is something to see

[GreatWhiteBuffaloInc]

I have four of these and like em because they are light weight,bone head simple, and use a full power cartridge.

[Treblaine]

Looks like I'm in the awesome part of youtube again

[Tezcatlepocatl]

The ones at 1:00 and 1:08 were awesome. Just like a dragon spitting fire.

[DeanMLFlame]

I just shortened the barrel of my 91/30 to 22" from the bolt face and i see some nice fire balls with Romanian surplus. enough to fill the whole scope.

[TheMrhotrod]

Thumbs up if you thought at first he was gonna catch that brass at the end like a badass

[iluv2viddyfilms]

Typically recoil doesn't get to me, but those Mosin Nagant guns pack a punch.

[TheViperOSU]

@me

First movement even

[TheViperOSU]

@clscloud

It is the second movement from Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 14 on C# minor (read that as "c sharp") commonly called the Moonlight Sonata.

[clscloud]

whats this song called?



[RaibidBunniez]

Beautiful. Just, beautiful :)

[kenns9]

you should see the flash from my AutoMag III 30 carbine :)

[youtubesteve]

Moonlight Sonata makes me sad.

[noob5000000]

I'm having Resident Evil flashbacks.

[Dragunov1185]

If the bullet doesn't kill them, the fireball will!

[ilovenh1]

I put a long eye relief scope with a mount that replaces the rear blade sight with a weaver rail I bought for 41 dollars delivery included ! ! by NcSTAR 2-7X32 and I can group about 2 in using the surplus ammo, a folding TV dinner tray table and my shooting bag for a rest and just over 1in with 205g soft point Barnaul Russian hunting ammo at 100 yards with my 1944 Mosin Nagant ! Yes I love it.

[glockhead702]

Whats the name of this song ? ? Its great .. And nice vid !! slowmo for the win

[roldans99]

Goog vid. Good composition. Chopin or Beethoven? Sounds more like Beth. Best

[H4L0K1LL4]

poetry...

[dhwcvh]

Why does he have the bayonet extended?

[adreslinski629]

@dhwcvh If you have the Bayonet extended it reduces barrel vibration

[weaponeer]

nice video.. it's good to see others using the EX-F1 Pro.. it's perfect for weapons videos, also a good choice in music.. slow motion requires a slow beat

[MrMarrok657]

Love the song, Moon light sonata right?

[MrTbone66]

Great vid, love the soundtrack too. Thanks for posting.

[klesmer]

Good vid, don't have a carbine yet, gotta get one.

[miguel89ist]

the guy should have got shot at the end cuz its in slow motion

[copyhut]

It would be hard to miss that flash at night. I wonder how many Soviets took a round because of that.

[ddmo2]

Try and find some blanks... I get large fireballs out of my 91/30 with that thing, havent sold my m38 though... wouldve loved to shoot the blanks in that thing..

[BFBC22]

what is the background music? its creepy.

[MegaGevehr]

Damn, you are a man.

[SacMyk]

Great video. Thanks for posting, I have a question that I don't see answered or asked before.

I have an M91/30. a great rifle. At my target range, here in Ca, they have metal targets the size and shape of  rams set at 500 meters. Yes I have hit those targets.

However, I have run Winchester, I've sent Czech cartridges through it. I have even bought a 440 round 'tin' of Russian ammo. However I have never seen muzzle flash. What ammo are you using here?

[wavelength1970]

@SacMyk Its not the ammo its the length of the barrel. The M44's barrel is about 9 inches shorter than a 91/30's, the powder just doesn't have time to burn. I have a 91/30 to, and it doesn't make any fireballs.

The 7.62x54r cartridge was designed around a long 29-30" barrel, but in WW2 the Russians decided they needed a shorter weapon for urban combat etc. They didn't bother to produce a shorter cartridge, thus the Mosin carbine fireball was born...

[dude444666444]

@wavelength1970 Wait then why does my M91(1922 Tula with hex reciever) make a fireball?

[wavelength1970]

@dude444666444 Not sure, maybe its the ammo. I have a 91/30 ('30 Izhevsk) and it doesn't make any fireball at all. I typically use Russian and Bulgarian light ball surplus.

[dude444666444]

@wavelength1970 Oh yea probably beacause i brought a bunch of old rusty lose surplus rounds lol... well the fireball is pretty badass so ill just keep using them lol

[R5H4D0W]

@dude444666444 from shooting my 91/30 with various ammo...I am inclined to attribute fireballs to ammo grade and storage, such that humidity may have caused the powder to burn a little slower than normal. Heat and pressure may have caused the unburnt powder to "detonate" only when it has decompressed as the bullet left the barrel in the presence of oxygen. I'm not very good at controlling its recoil so honestly I do not know if the slow burn causes inaccuracies.

[dude444666444]

@R5H4D0W ohh yea that makes sense because i buy all the loose ammo from my local gun shop that was stored in a plastic bag haha

[nick21sammy]

@wavelength1970 not exactly handy if your trying to conceal urself :), still at least you could blind the enemy in night fights i suppose XD

[wavelength1970]

@nick21sammy Its pretty blinding to the shooter as well! Its like a camera flash going off in your face at night

[nick21sammy]

@wavelength1970 not to mention the heat. I have a Mannlicher Berthier 1892 carbine of similar length, firing 8mm lebel cartridges and it has a very similar effect :D

[CombatMasterpiece]

@wavelength1970 NOW THAT'S A FIREBALL!!!

[Madnessin1987]

@SacMyk do it at night if you want fire ball trust me

[nelson3300]

FIREBALL..... love this rifle.

[deusprogrammer]

Nice choice of music.

[hockeywarrior]

Pretty awesome that you have the fixed bayonet carbine (M44) version of the rifle! How hard was that to find?

[hockeywarrior]

Pretty awesome that you have the fixed bayonet carbine (M44) version of the rifle! How hard was that to find?

[wavelength1970]

@hockeywarrior last year they were hard to find...then fleet farm stores had tons of them. They are still hard to find at gun shows and are usually overpriced. I have 2 of them, got them from the same gun shop about a year apart

[1995bartels]

@hockeywarrior where i live, which is California they are some of the most common rifles around, i got mine for 125$

[nelson3300]

@hockeywarrior Its not really a fixed bayonet, its a side folding bayonet. You pull this thing forward to release the teeth, then flip it out and seat in forward. Pretty badass, its a giant spike, not a blade :)

[nelson3300]

@hockeywarrior I got mine at Big 5, had to wait for them to get back in stock, but just ask and they will tell you!

[ParaSam45]

@hockeywarrior I bought one at Big 5 sporting goods in Reno, NV back in 2005 for $85.00.

[nickglotus]

@hockeywarrior Plenty in the UK they cost approx £130 close to $200 atm... C&G Guns in the UK have them i just purchased a M44 ;-) Great Video

[RockaCali]

@hockeywarrior I just sold mine for 50, how much do they usually run, i just rip my self off

[ypparcsipar]

shot through a total of of about 2ft of tree with one shot at about 30ft. it has a little more ball shaped fireball than this one, but its still pretty freakin cool. it resembles th one at 1:04

[ypparcsipar]

@ypparcsipar 1:02 sorry

[streetgangtm]

check out my response lol, indoors it's crazy

[streetgangtm]

I shot mine in an indoor range with low lighting, RIDICULOUS.

[ShootinArn]

Cool video, I like the dramatic music also.

[carcano38]

Now that I see what the so-mo looks like, I may just try filming myself doing that in the near future. I have "Magix  movie edit pro 14, Thanks for the heads up.

[TheTBagg]

I like ejecting the casing at the end to close. Nice touch.

[mrfiux]

This is an awesome video... Love the slow mo, Is that a Jetta in the background? I should make a video just like this since I have all the stuff in the background.

[vetitoe362]

That is pretty sweet... What kind of camera?

[wavelength1970]

It's a Casio EX-F1

[cr500pilot]

German composer Russian rifle good combo

[StereoSoundAgent1]

the moonlight sonata was perfect...loved the shell eject clip.

[bigpapas25]

Love the M44 check mine out.

[SashaVedernikov]

Now thats awesome!!! I only have 91/30s now but cant wait to get myself a m44 soon,they look fun!

[skyau]

This song is by Beethoven, it's called Moonlight Sonata.

Great fireballs!

[wavelength1970]

Thanks! The name of that song was driving me crazy!

[epicsr]

Barnaul or Silver Bear 185 gr is my recipe for creating huge blasts and fireballs.

[GOfilms01]

what song is this?

[wavelength1970]

Its a Mozart song, I forget which one. It was available through youtube as an audioswap.

[wavelength1970]

Beethoven, Moonlight Sonata

[axelbrode]

Great Video. Really like the last scene of the slow-motion ejection of the casing.

[aybesee123]

[21stcenturyfilmdocs]

That is AWESOME!!! Beautiful video!

[Trinitrotoluene101]
