It would be worth a lot more sold to reloaders instead of deformed as scrap. Idiot government policy.
Idiot democrat policy.
俺の勤めてるスクラップ会社にも自衛隊で入札した空薬莢や屋外射撃場で出たと思われる土まみれの弾頭(鉛)や色々な金属のスクラップが入ってきます特に航空自衛隊のだと25mm機関砲の空薬莢や飛行機のエンジンなんかが入ってきますこうして支払われるお金って結構な額(買取単価の高い非鉄系金属アルミや真鍮、銅等)になるけどどういう事に使ってるんだろうもし使うのなら隊員達の福利厚生なんかに使ってほしい
空自だとM61がメインなので20mmの薬莢はたくさん出そうですね、戦闘機の廃薬莢は全部きっちりと回収できますし。25mmだとF-35の機関砲弾でしょうか？もうそんな時代になったんすかぁ・・・
You got to hand it to the Democrats. Once fired military brass has been sold to re-loaders for many years. Lake City brass is considered among the finest brass casings in the world, & highly sought after for it's quality. Now, with the exception of blank ammo brass, rather than make the used brass available for the market, as it has been done for generations, it is turned into scrap metal. Before, it was collected into drums, & then the drums were put up for auction. Now, they have invested thousands upon thousands turning a simple process into a complex method of using high tech machinery to destroy a once valuable commodity. The money they receive for the destroyed brass is but a fraction of what the government would have gotten just selling the empty brass cases. Look how many employees are now involved & the equipment they are using. Democrats do not believe in the 2nd Amendment, & will use every trick they can come up with to interfere with the American people to be able to defend themselves, their families, their homes, & their communities. This is BS.
to expensive to sort refillable and non-refillable cases. Easier to melt them.
It's probably a closed circuit in one way.....raw brass is purified in the recycling process and some stock no doubt sold back into the industry to make more cases......
@@lawrencemartin1113 Lake City only uses virgin brass. It is difficult to keep the alloy consistent when using scrap material. The zinc tends to burn off when the temperature reaches a certain level, & then you are having to add additional zinc to the mix, & 100% consistency goes out the window. Look at Chinese brass hardware in a big box store, & compare it to brass made in America. I have found that the Chinese brass tends to be more of a washed-out color of piss, while American brass has the traditional deep golden hue.

Fair enough. 😊

No such thing as bullet heads, those are bullets that they are sorting out with that Jurassic looking vacuum cleaner.
Brass used to be sold so shooters could reload it. But past administrations wanted to be pc and stopped it
Hmmm. I wonder why indoor ranges don’t let you collect your brass. Yes it’s a safety issue but also because they can sweep in up in 5 min then sell it to a business that shorts separates and cleans it then sells it as once fired range brass. It works out great for all parties. The range and processor make money and the reloader saves money
most indoor ranges wont let you shoot your own reloads either.
Why bother sorting it by caliber if you’re not gonna reload it?
自衛隊が全て回収している横でスコップで穴を掘って埋めてた時代は遠い昔か。
ですよね
それを掘り返して繋げて遊んで怒られるまでがセット
It's a wonder they do not reload the spent casings !
I bought some once fired military brass.
It's harder to reload because the military rifle chambers are loose compared to civilian hunting rifles, so you have to work harder to resize the brass.
It's a crime to just crush it and sell it as scrap brass when they can make a lot more selling it as reloadable brass.
Thank bill Clinton
@@JeffHenry-cq3is I was still able to get it while Bush was in office.
@@JeffHenry-cq3is And Barack Obama & Joe Biden. It is a Democratic thing. They despise the 2nd A.
i dont know about a "loose chamber" but i do know that most military rounds have crimped primer pockets to keep the primers from coming out during rough handling and especially for belt fed weapons. that might be what you are feeling when you put the cases thru the de prime/sizing die.
the belt fed guns have higher pressure ammo and it is a pain to resize it.
真鍮は結構、良い値段で買ってくれるからね。
いつも勿体無いなぁと思いながら見てたけどやっぱり回収してるのね。
射撃訓練の黒い石っぽい山が気になる
この作業見てると自衛隊の空薬莢に対する扱いはしっかりしてますよね。
射撃場を常に清潔に保つ面と万が一紛失した際の安全面のリスク。
同じ税金で購入してるとは言え、こんなにも厳格なのは日本だけでは？
あとわざと変形して業者に出すのは正解ですよね。
業者側からすれば、最終的にリサイクルできればいいので、荷姿は問わないわけで。
I'm skeptical.
Especially when I've seen sailors literally just dump spent brass off the deck.
a lot of shit just falls into the ocean
米軍さんだと量が桁違いだね
元薬莢ダンベルとかあったらほしい
薬莢回収ローラー…めっちゃいいな✨
そのうち自衛隊と同じで訓練中銃に薬莢の回収ポーチを着けるようになるかな
隠密的な作戦で痕跡を残したくない時に使えるなって米軍に言われてたらしい。
Some Utubers use bullets crafted into pens melted coloured plastic body or such .
沖縄だとお土産になってた・・・・
7.62mmベルトリンク付き

他にも色々。
How disgusting. That brass is worth more reloadable.
Fascinating video.....totally ruined by that awful music!! Just leave the sound as recorded and tell the story visually. You don't need the insecent repetitive music cutting across it.
Still, a really interesting film to see the different methods used to recover and sort brass and bullet heads for recycling.
Our indoor range here in the UK, is de-leaded every few months. They actually have to dig and chisel out some of the impacted lead rounds that fuse together in the bullet catcher area. (Potentially hazardous work given the high levels of lead direct contact work)The lead is then re-cycled. All our brass is hand checked for live rounds and then also sold for scrap.

Lots of opportunity for more information there. Whats done with the links? Ammo cans? Unfired or damaged rounds?
steel link are probably sent back to smelt down to make new ones and ammo cans get resused/resold/destroyed damageed rounds discarded and sent back to manufactucer
the links are most likely sent back to the ammo manufacturer to be used again.
Se las venden a algún cartel mexicano...
私も趣味で米軍使用済み品、色々所有しています。🤩
沖縄で何個か買ったなー…飾ってるww
普通に考えてリサイクルした方が楽なので自衛隊だけじゃなくて米軍だって、他の軍隊だって薬莢は回収するでしょうね
そういえば最近の米海軍の艦艇でも薬莢をそのまま海に捨てずに回収してるみたいな動画を見た気がしましたが・・・うーん、気のせい？？
God bless america❤
Good brass
Great Idea 💡 👍 😊
アメリカ軍も金が無いですからね(横田基地にいた空軍兵や海兵隊員の愚痴を実際に聞いた)。
if I wanted to buy a large quantity of spent 40 mm brass how would i do it
They use to sell the brass in lots at Camp Pendleton Oceanside ca
大昔の話で東富士演習場内で薬莢らしきものを見掛け拾い上げようとしたら米軍使用の7.62mm機関銃用空砲が未使用状態でベルトリンク 弾帯で連結されたまま埋められリンクが錆びてたのを見た事が有る、これは絶対に撃った後の機関銃整備が面倒だから発砲せずに捨てたなと、当然火薬入りで危険だから埋め戻し(*_*;
回収にかかる手間とか選別機材買う費用(実際には開発費用も米軍がもってそう)とか考えると薬莢受け取り付けるのが結局一番早くて安くて楽なような
Boggles the mind! Between not reloading spent casings to not reusing the ammo cans that they came in. The Defense budget needs to be cut in half!
Don't buy 7.62X51 NATO once fired Military surplus brass unless you have the full length resizing die and the trim die for it to use as .308 Win.
There is a very slight difference in the neck and shoulder dimensions.
The 7.62×51 NATO chamber is imperceptibly longer than the . 308 Winchester, extending between 0.006 and 0.010 inches beyond the . 308 SAAMI specs. This results in a 7.62 case that is ever so slightly longer than its commercial brother.
GO GET THE BRASS MAGNET, PRIVATE!!!!
Just a suggestion from a Veteran pro musician. Make that brass into a tuba for me. And a whole band of brother band men with me.
it shouldn't be mangled but given to taxpaying reloaders
That's our gov. turning something that was selling 4 to 5 dollars a pound before BURR head to a $1.50 a pound . A company would have 10 to 15 people working reloading 5.56 ,9MM 7.62 . This way the Chinese are getting the brass at half price . Now it only takes 2 people the run the hammer mill and load the cargo camtainer to China
これを愛好と収蔵する人へ売れて、両方でも満足する。（自分は時々買ってことがある）
とうとう米軍もSDGsに目覚めてしまいましたか・・・
とうとう、って...お前の目に入ったタイミングでアメリカが動き出したと思ってんの？？？？？？？？？？？？？
米軍は薬莢捨ててると思ってた。
Nice .
使い捨てだらけの米国も少しは資源確保‐‐‐‐と言うより銭が足らなくなったね
アメリカ軍もちゃんと薬莢集めるんやな〜
自衛隊だけかと思った。
私もそう思っていました。
空缶みたいに資源ごみとして扱う米軍と1個でも必死に探す自衛隊…雲泥の差がありますよ。民間市場でもスーパーで電池みたいに売ってる米国と警察の許可証で1個1gまで記載させ使用も帳簿作成記帳保管まで求められる日本
I never seen a M240 malfunction so much.
That is because in the 1990s they got rid of the 753XX redhats and turned the career field over to the Security Police (now Security Forces). A lot of gunsmithing knowledge was never passed on.
ロストボールを拾ってお金に換える・・。違うか(笑)。
海に落とした物も、せめて訓練時のだけでも拾ってほしい。
無理だと言う人もいるだろうけど落とさない努力はするべき。
分別されたプラスティックゴミの多くが再利用されずに燃やされている・・・。
理想と現実には大きな隔たりがあるんだよね。
真鍮だから、高く売れそう
Give me some of that shit
Стреляет Белый, убирает ... 😂
People that call bullets "bullet heads" are a special kind of stupid.
Why not sell to the ammo companies that reload
癒着
Some do, they can bid on the brass just like anyone else.
Part of the army anti gun policy
No bill Clinton stopped it
@@JeffHenry-cq3is I wonder if it hurts?
They do not turn anything into cash
自分もよく買ってます
미군도 재활용이라는 것을 하는구나
工廠に送り返して火薬を詰め直してるのかと思ってた
They sold it back to the manufacturers,which then will reform that into new ammo and then either sell back to US military or sell to civilians.Every military does this
薬莢は弾丸発射時の爆発で変形しているので再利用すると装填不良などの不良品を量産してしまいますので、そのまま使うことはないと思います。
@@adayama
民間人は再利用、「リローディング」（或いは「ハンドロード」と呼ぶ）する人も居ますよ。
当然ながら自己責任（且つ、一つずつ手作業の連続の単純作業）ですが、毎度新品のカートリッジを購入するより安価（既製品の半額程度）で済むらしいです。
1.使用済みの薬莢をクリーニング。
2.薬莢の変型を修復（要は型に嵌めて元のサイズに成形し直す）し、使用済みのプライマーを外す。
3.新しいプライマーを装着。
4.規定の種類・量のパウダー（火薬）を入れる。
5.新しい弾頭を規定の位置に装着。
6.弾頭が緩まない様にカートリッジ全体を締め込む。
これらがほぼ一連の流れで出来る機械（ロックチャッカプレス）があります。
但し、新しいプライマーの装着だけは別の道具（ハンドプライミングツール）を使用します。
軍ではあまりにも大量なので、「一つずつ手作業の連続の単純作業」は無理でしょうから、新品を調達して使用して使用後は廃金属としてリサイクルするのでしょうね。
CZcamsで、キーワード “リローディング” “ハンドロード” “Reloading” “Handloadinng” で検索すると色々動画がアップされていますよ。
肝心な時にジャムったらたまったもんじゃないから一般シューターじゃなければリサイクルなんだな
That is not the military. That is the Air Force LOL
What if they are security forces? Is that good enough for you?
Lol😂
Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, Army, or Space Force, they are all equal parts of the US military Armed Forces
just imagine how much more the army or marines shoot then
@livelurked4103 that makes it worse. It's full of MOS dropouts and rejects and wanna be operators. They love the SF identifier on their sleeve . That way they hope the chick's think they're sof.
Is the air force not in the military?
自衛隊もこれで来たらな～
薬莢拾っておじさんに売る
おじさん、薬莢を周りに貼り付ける
安保の丘でお土産で、灰皿として売る
遠い昔の話し
Smart trick. Almost as smart as my own strategy to get rich from deposits from the beer- cans I buy. Soon there.
Better not tell Donald Trump and his followers about this, nobody knows what would come out of it.
💪⚔🇺🇸🗽⚔👍👌✌💪
米国だと使用済みのから薬莢でさえ納税者への説明責任を果たすと言う事なのだろう。中露北だと考えにくいが、155ｍｍ砲弾を大増産してインド太平洋・世界の自由と民主主義を守って欲しい。
弾丸と火薬と雷管も売ってくれや👍
今でも自衛隊は薬莢失くしたら見つかるまで探し方？
Recycle program.. ahaha piss off, Ukrops are losing !
売って金に換える必要があるぐらいならそもそも作らなくていい世界が来て欲しい
一番現実的なのは第三次世界大戦の後かな・・・。
そうやって税金を無駄にしてるからこんなクソコメ出来る平和が守られとるんやぞ
この金が有意義に使われる日が来ればどうなるか、いい例が今ちょうど世界にあるよな？
自衛隊なら薬莢一つ無くしただけで、大騒ぎなんでしょ？こんなに無造作に床に捨てられれて自衛隊とは大違いなのかな？
空薬莢に限らず昔(911以前)は放出品が多くて安かったから良かったなぁ。
体感、1/10くらい減ったよね。
