Here I use safety matches, not strike anywhere type. Reloading with ground up matches is not not a new idea but I wanted to see if I could make a functional 38 special round substituting matchbooks for powder and primer. I urge you NOT to attempt this. It is risky and I have not tested it beyond what you see in this video. This is simply a proof of concept that it is possible to create usable ammo with limited resources. This 38 special could just have easily been 9mm or most any other round, with varying powder charges of course. Match heads are corrosive.
