22 Magazine's Follower Button Information...UPDATE

[toweronepower]

Guns are for the weak.

[cutlerylover]

@toweronepower Ill go hand and hand with someone anyday if they have a problem, but when weapons come out, gun comes out and I win everytime, not about being strong cause you have a gun, its about being prepared when someone else has one

[theairsoftguy57]

sweet gun

[fishnkid1923]

hearing protection?seriously...

[cutlerylover]

yeah im srious I like to be able to hear, theres nothgin cool about not yusing safety precautions, I know at least 2 peopel, who have serious hearign problems becuase the shoot their guns without hearign protection becuase ear muffs "look gay" why take a chance?

[fishnkid1923]

but a 22?without any powder...i have shot the primers off b4..they are as loud as cb longs,if you have ever shot them..

[cutlerylover]

just a habbit to use hearing protection all the time when doing anything loud, sure is not bad just trying to set a good example for the younger viewers...

[krotchkoman]

What is the name and purpose of those false blue rounds?

[cutlerylover]

snaop caops or dummy rounds, so you cna safely practice loading, unloading and feeding your gun, you cna also dry fire with them in rimfire guns, but they expands a bit and can only be used a few tiems if you deicee to dry fire...

[92allyn]

you should test dropping them

[nvrmndknasen]

you should have tested the casing between the two snapcaps!

[applefan236]

*****

[zanuha]

Why not just take the powder out and put the bullet back in?

[cutlerylover]

because the bullet will be shot, the primer has enough power to shoot it...

[zanuha]

Really? Anyway, it needs a barrel to channel the pressure onto the bullet.

[IDieForPie]

@zanuha the bullet will make it far enough to get stuck in the barrel but not out of it.

[Schmidt54]

"myth busted"

=D

[yankeefool]

the casing is more dangerous than the bullet its self

[Eastlick1]

Hey Jeff, this is totally random but what do you do at the post office? (out of curiosity)

[cutlerylover]

I dont work at a post office, but rather a local distribution center sporting mail, letters, magazines, junmk mail flyers, I do it all, as well as work a window with packages of all kinds, priority, 1st class, express, and registered stuff ...

[bigmike00831]

is it me or for some resone when he put on his glasses i thought they were going to go over the lens od the camera lol

[MadBadVoodo]

★★★★★

[MrShawnsUtube]

Nice vid, but supose the round under also points up and impacts the upper round directly in the center, that seems likely even tho it would still be a rare thing to happen.

Like u said can't be too safe.

[ace19636]

Five Stars

varry good vid Jeff!!!

[colorman232]

five stars!

but out of curiosity with my teenage-boy-like mind, would you his a disassembled shell with a hammer?

just for fun?

[CubanRevival]

if that dos happen w/ the bullet going upside down and it does explode, it wont like fire into you, you need a barell to chanell the pressure behind the bullet

[godsend420]

ur the first sub to test bullet and gun myths (other vids) gratz or kudos

stay plurr

☆★☆★☆

[haha48]

well if you get crapy .22 ammo it has a higher chance of goinging off.. because they use alot thiner brass like whinchster superx bulk pack I find the ammo jams in almost any gun and you can bend the brass with your fingers.. It could go off but it takes a good amout of force to set a primer off..

[tacdriver22mk2]

if a round goes off its going to act as a grenade not as if it had a barrel i have picks to prove it

btw dont have a live round in the chamber and rack the slide back hard to sling the cartridge up to catch it cause iv done it with snapcaps and its put dents in the rim as if i dryfired it

[KunaiKnight]

heeey its cutlerylover mythbusters!

[jarod445]

when i tried this, it went off, more than likely it was a 1 in a million type things, but then again on my ruger i have very stiff springs in the mags for fast reliable shooting, i may make a vid trying it.

[sabaths1fan]

You could try putting something heavy in the shell casing or putting the bullet back in and trying again. The bullet wont go anywhere without any powder.

Video tip: when you make a loud noise in the making of the video, don't talk while the loud noise is being made. Wait a moment until the noise has stopped until you start talking again so that the mic picks up your voice fully.

[BigSean1992]

your p22s follower things look muck nicer then mine on my mk. III they hurt pretty bad to pull down the spring is so stiff

[cutlerylover]

its ok I know...lol

[blan101]

Also Jeff,

Even if the round goes off, if it does so outside the barrel it will not be "shot" straight into anything. Take a look at the box of truth #9.

[bigjayrawls]

i think you dont want to let the Magazine's Follower Button go(slam), because over time the feed lips may distort and cause failure to feed.

[prisoner1138]

Thank you cutlerylover for checking this out and using proper techniques to do so(like trying with and without the snapcap below the round). I know I was kind of harsh the other day, but when companies start pulling marketing hype over features like that, it REALLY irks me, since it makes it sound like all of their competitors somehow have an unsafe product.

[cutlerylover]

Im hear to learn as well as teach, no appology is neccesary youimade a point and I wanted to test it, and you were right,m my eho isnt big enough not to allow me to admit when wrong...even if it hurts a little, lol..

[IKLIPTIC]

@cutlerylover Good man

[prisoner1138]

Also, another thing. Ever seen the 500+ round bulk packs that are just kind of loosely dumped into a cardboard box of .22lr? Those things do get handled pretty roughly during shipping, both to the store, and even to you when you order online and have it shipped to your home, and if a round ever went off in a UPS or FEDEX truck... but fortunately that's never happened.

[1195sean1195]

god i love the walter p22 favorite pistol in the world

[blan101]

Yep. Figured as much. Glad you took it upon yourself to find if it was correct though.

[lilham10809]

dude people take dogs out hunting birds with 12 ga shotguns, this won't be so bad

[cutlerylover]

with all the yelling we do in my house if my dogs were going to have hearing damage it woudl already be done...

[HAACKER45]

Why didn't you just but the round but in the casing if you took out all the powder so it would be easier to demostrate?

[cutlerylover]

because the power of the primer will make the bullet go flying...and be dangerous...

[hrich14]

oo i see how that can be a problem o.o

[Orthrus]

Honestly Cutlerylover, your vids are just awesome. There's so much useful information I've learned from your channel that I never would have thought about otherwise.

Thanks for your videos, it's becoming a good mythbusting channel :p

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

lol feeding lips, i'm feeding speghetti to my lips as i watch this video.

[practicalskills]

thanks for the experiment, i've wondered if it was possible my self.

[DayLight95]

if the round ended up upside down in the mag and it got struck and went off the bullet and shell would not travel more than a few centimeters. the reason a bullet fires in a gun is cause the pressure for the explosion forces it down the barrel. so in an open space you are not likely to get hurt that badly

[DEFkon001]

From what I understand if a live round goes off when not in a gun, the casing becomes the more dangerous projectile. Something about the bullet having more mass than the casing.

[Orthrus]

@DayLight95

Quiet true, I've only seen that happen in cook off though when we shot a loaded AK magazine to see what'd happen. The bullets and primers just pop right out, but never go anywhere. After they pop out, the powder just burns.

[brandonha]

You happen to be involved in box o' truth?

[Orthrus]

@brandonha

Nope, just copied them with a spare magazine that never fed.

[Burson69]

great video jeff.

[stealthcupcake]

LOL @ 'myth busted' Good job!

[PoliceWillProtect]

I have a question? Isnt taking the bullet out of the shell also dangerous? Couldnt it go off if you have it in a vice. Or something of that line.

[iamcondescending]

@PoliceWillProtect thats why there are special tools made just for that job there are people that take the bullets and owder out of rounds all the time for reloads and just to test out different ammounts of powder and shit you just have to be careful

[cutlerylover]

yes, I simply used 2 paits of pliers gripping on the bullet and right at the very edn og the case so my grip woudlnt effect the primer...

[Orthrus]

@PoliceWillProtect

Not at all. .22 rounds are usually in very lightly, and you can pull them right out with pliers. A vice isn't putting pressure on the primer. In center-fire ammo, no matter how you hold it you won't be putting in on the primer either.

[PoliceWillProtect]

ahh...

[BuffaloWarrior7]

Its all about liability and easy of use.

[tyler24000]

haha you can totaly hear aim in the background

[nerfmodifier98]

#1 fan!
