How the US Army Makes and Uses Ammunition

[spmexy]

who is this fox? so fucking like... yea boom kil kil boom boom killl yea... kill the ''terrorists!'' make killing and putting hot rocks into someones body seem so good. haha what about conceal carry? fox hates conceal but they still make sure things continue to go.. BOOM....

[PowerViolenceForever]

@oziii1 it's not hidden information. Public information

[caspercaspian]

Bob: ( is smoking a cigarette in the factory)

BOOM!

Chris: so where did Bob go?

Jonh: over there, over there, and over there.

[flyskater]

since this is on youtube, now the terrorists know their targets.

[Mandon1110]

grenades and tank rounds are basically the same

[bailomega]

With that much munition, if that factory blows up, accidental or not, can we see the explosion from space?

[randomraindeer]

is it just me, or doesn't this video have some alarming resemblances to the propaganda reels in Nineteen Eighty-Four? :P

[Russki08]

Battle against terrorism => Battle for mineral resources.

[TheSpyker98]

@Russki08 Totally right.. And oil too.

[drewdane40]

@TheSpyker98 Oil is the mineral resource to which he was referring there, sparky.

@bestamerica No biggie. Germany ripped off the AR15 and called it the Sig 556, so we're even with them now. :p

[SuperGeronimo999]

@drewdane40: The SIG 556 is made by Switzerland, a swiss Company called SIG. "Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft" in english: Swiss Industry Company.

[drewdane40]

@SuperGeronimo999 Boy, is my face red.

[substrde]

@SuperGeronimo999 Dont trust in that too much buddy! There's also a SIG Sauer factory in north germany about 50 kilometers from Denmark..

[SuperGeronimo999]

@substrde: Yeah, and now? It's also a american General Dynamics Factory in Spain, however!

[bestamerica]

'

120mm gun is make in germany for M1A1 / MA1A2

[filippomercante]

@bestamerica no it's a mistake...the gun isn't made in germany but designed in germany.Now it is built in America under licence and it is called M256.

[bestamerica]

filippomercante,

'

okay thank

[agj9]

in a process to long and hard to explain....LOL

[monkey8113]

and in a proses too long to explain=.=

[XvChriisvX]

look at all the pros peckin their keyboards with their infinite knowledge

[MrBart10152]

1) why was the worker using a metal pitcher for the explosive pellets

2) they should make a Discovery "How its made" special episode for this

3) "terrorism" ,,,,,,,what a joke,,,,,,,,,,,,

4)uranium ammo - one problem solved for the U.S, 1000 more for the future generations of the Middle East

[ozzirt]

@MrBart10152 You idiot, there are plenty of safe non sparking metals, and they are used so they do not generate static electricity.

You see, these people do actually have some idea of what they are doing unlike kids who are barely out of school.

[lordmetalstorm]

They would leave out the uranum part

[SirSmokeal0t]

Propaganda shit.

[MarineAirsoftReviews]

Thank god we make our own ammo because if we gave Chinese ammo to troops it would blow up and kill the guy shooting then you see some Chinese dude like "yes, I mean so sad,Sorry no refund"

[GARTV101]

00:51"and in a process to long to explain",no you just dont want people to know how to make explosives!

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

ahh yes, while people starve in the streets of NYC, the Chinese dictate your economic policy and old people are denied Social Security, things that go boom are in safe hands. USA, what a fucking crock of shit nation you people have become, you deserve what's coming to you people really, really soon.

[Dogmeat1950]

@SvalbardJanMayen1976 um..no, you know China only owns 7% of the U.S debt right?

nothing is going to happen to the USA

[astrialkil]

@Dogmeat1950 China owns most of the debt not owned by Americans. American pensions are like the top owner. Bad things will happen to the USA , it wont be caused by China, just made worse by China.

[dogbone222]

I'm guessing this is the only thing thats made in america. to bad no ciggarretes

[stewart113]

0:14 spaghetti :p

[jimmy202500]

I'm surprised that the US army's bulets aren't made in china like everything else.

[ryantong1988]

@jimmy202500 chinese get everything explode, only firepowder wont

[makun16]

@jimmy202500 about the only thing that is made in USA are firearms and ammo lol. Can't seem to do anything else right anymore.

[cakelover33]

@jimmy202500 wtf would we do that. that would be like makign our most advanced weapon in a rival country.(i know a bullet is not advanced but there is still important stuff in the factories). they hacked our computers and stole plans for ther eplanes

[jimmy202500]

@cakelover33 It's a joke.

[Hoggrydr11]

@jimmy202500 EXACTLY!!!

[PowerViolenceForever]

@jimmy202500 oh they tried that during Vietnam. Thousands of soldiers eded up with bad primers and the M16A1's reputation still suffers for that! It was the Ammo not so much the gun.

[TheRealTaco87]

I'd like to work there. I love guns and ammunition! Just need a degree in Chemical Engineering.

[TheWarseed]

so... they take great pride in creating devices that othewise blow the crap out of everything the 'bidness' end comes in contact with... yay...

[SPHSdrumline]

@TheWarseed incorrect. they take great pride in crating somthing that would save a soldiers life in a firefight

[chevygearhead454]

1:21 we take great pride in the fact that the shit we make is killing the enemies of the U.S!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BornToAssassinate]

i used to think ammunition was made by immigrants in sweat shops!

[BHARMS2]

@BornToAssassinate in some cases it is but anything the us military uses it MUST be manufactured in the USA

[BornToAssassinate]

@BHARMS2 FMJ's can be made in Israel. Because the US are allies with Israel.

[bestSVMS]

hopefully that place never catches fire or there will be a big earthquake

[Mr2ndAmendment]

I wouldn't feel too great working aroudn all of that DU, but somebody's got to do it I guess. I wonder what the radiation levels are like in there. And I'm assuming they only make large ammunition and not small-arms ammunition.

[bestSVMS]

@Mr2ndAmendment

they arent making radioactive stuff?

[Mr2ndAmendment]

@bestSVMS

They are making high-caliber ammunition, which uses DU (Depleted Uranium). The best way I can describe DU in a nutshell is that it is pretty much like lead, except it is more dense (and thus heavier). It is deactivated Uranium, which means it is not potently radioactive yet it still has slight radioactive traces. According to the DOD, clothes can stop DU radiation, but some aren't so sure. DU is known to cause cancer or other radioactive problems, which is why it is controversial

[Mr2ndAmendment]

DU is used in high-caliber shells, such as ammunition used by the A-10 Thunderbolt II, various high-caliber machine gun ammunition, and sabot tank rounds. That's why I'm certain they are using it at this plant, because we use DU in the shells they said the plant makes.

[bestSVMS]

@Mr2ndAmendment

oh, i didnt know they used du instead of lead

[Mr2ndAmendment]

They use it in armor piercing rounds, and it completely explodes upon impact. That's why they use it in tank shells, for example, because not only is it heavier than lead, but it will explode and kill the crew and destroy the tank. Tank shells are really just DU rods flying through the air, that strike a tank, punch a hole through the armor, then explode inside.

[muffinsNsausage]

holy crap are you a genius?

[sovietspyguy]

Depleted uranium doesn't pose a radiation risk. It poses a heavy metal risk, the same as lead or any other heavy metal, but is not an issue as long as you don't eat it or breathe it in.

[Mr2ndAmendment]

I've heard that too, I know it is a heavy metal risk, but there has been some controversy with DU because it has slight traces of radiation. There was a scandal years back about Air Force personnel having to load the belted DU ammo into A-10's, and the Department of Defense said the standard BDU's should block the slight radiation, but some personnel were developing problems related to radiation sickness. It all depends on who you ask, but it's also been blamed for radioactive water tables.

[t3hc4rdb04rdb0x]

So...I'm guessing you can't smoke cigarettes in there?

[TheEpicus666]

@t3hc4rdb04rdb0x only the smoking of crack and cannabis allowed, thou

[beatleboy9020001]

@t3hc4rdb04rdb0x

we do army ftx on the grounds there far from the plant, we're not allowed to use the matches in our mres

[zerodead1119]

dam it would suck if somehing wrong will happen thats alot of beef lol

[WilliamHBonney55]

I think of that Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon were his job was to use a hammer and find out what ones were duds.Lol!

[BF2mods]

i woudnt feel good workin on that factory

[Zephron87]

Things that go... *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* lolz ^^
