Thanks to my friend Travis for being awesome and letting me use his property to film. Honestly this dude is awesome, ever time I go over there the lawn just gets destroyed, things catch fire that aren't supposed to, and hes just a generally cool guy, thanks Travis!
This is part 2 from my liquid metal bullets experiment! Last week we tested how these bullets preform by shooting them into a tank of water, this week we got to have some fun! We shot watermelons, cinderblocks, starting fluid, and a bunch more. Its a long video, but totally worth staying till the end because you get to see me choke on a bug haha.
The first test was shooting bullets at a watermelon. We shot Sodium, Potassium, and a special alloy of sodium & potassium thats a liquid! Its basically the closest thing to shooting mercury out of a gun!
These bullets are insane!
For this video I bought 150g of potassium for $325 , and 500g of sodium for $150. Each bullet holds 1g of metal. I also had to buy regular .45 hollowpoint ammo to modify ~.50c/bullet. At these prices, each potassium bullet costs $2.50 Each sodium bullet cost .80c. The liquid alloy is 25% sodium, 75% potassium.
These bullets must be stored under dried and degassed solvent, blanketed in a dry, and inert atmosphere. Storing the bullets in regular oil or other hydrocarbon solvent will quickly destroy the entire bullet and casing in less than a week. Common oils and solvents are slightly permeable to oxygen and moisture which will react with the alkali metals to form corrosive hydroxides which will etch the zinc in the brass casing. Oil will enter the casing and inactivate the smokeless powder. After 1 week 1/10 of the bullets stored under oil did not fire.

Backyard scientist adding things to the “war crimes” chart
Wouldnt it already be on the list, it might be considered a chemical weapon
@@bobfels5343 probably not chemical since it’s metal, but probably in the same category of inhuman weapons like flame throwers
Yeah, explosive bullets are warcrimes.
Highly Explosive Shells exist
@@Project_VideoGame a tank and warships not 50 cal explosion bullets
Imagine robbing someone's house and getting shot, blown up and caught on fire at the same time
Those elemental weapons are intense.
@@somecallmetim4490 Literal elements in this case.
You gave all the NRA members a boner.
Get sent straight to hell
I asked for a Pb and j and I got a sandwich full of lead. (Go to 6:56 to understand)
People are always looking for a deadly round that won't go through walls and do damage to unintended victims...
That was pretty much my exact comment on the original video of him making these haha...perfect for civilian combat zones
@@koreyhayden1368 Yes, they look like they will be very effective against the civilians! :)
people also buy Hollow Points because they don't want to fill them in again.
I'm a bit concerned about the catching things on fire but they definitely seem to dissipate their energy very fast.
It becomes a bomb the second it hits water, snipers could use this to literally disarm hostage holders in such a way that nobody dies
I love how he has to specify that these are ineffective against armour, but GREAT for anti-personnel.
They're also a war crime! Woo!
@@S8tan7 Full metal jacket would be legal…
The lead hollow point would be just as illegal…
@@allangibson8494 I think it falls under liquid metal bullets similar to mercury bullets.
Missed opportunity:
Shoot into ballistic gel, since its mostly water, and see what kind of fireworks result.
True hydrostatic shock
Why am I seeing visions of a Backyard Scientist, Thunderf00t, and Taofledermaus triple collab, involving jacketed cesium-potassium-sodium shotgun slugs?
@@richardhanck972 that would be sick
put a couple layers of jeans in front of teh ballistic gel also - just to see if that makes a difference...
Oh my gosh that would be epppppic.
So here is the conclusion:
Against hard targets use lead.
Against water filled soft targets (like humans) use sodium potassium bullets.
Diana Grell only if they’re not wearing body armor and you have every intent to kill that person
@@fishfossils8858 Then what's the point of shooting at them?
@@CheshireTheMaid
You might just want to wound them
@gavin love you can never wound someone with a taser or pepper spray, they're for stunning not wounding, guns can be used defensively, it's not a guaranteed that someone using a gun is trying to kill you
blow their entire shoulder off!!! hahahahahah!!!
So ideally, if you could somehow encapsulate the metals into the lead core instead of having them in the nose, there might be enough weight to produce some penetrating power while keeping the payload intact.
After this video, 5 years from now on FBI shows at his doorstep 🤣
no he said the fbi came when this was his latest video
@@Jaxxy didnt expect to see you here lol
I totally missed the opportunity to call these "explodium bullets"!
Mhm
+TheBackyardScientist- lol. to really see which bullet was the best you should have shot 4 individual cinder blocks.
You know, this sounds really strange but if you
fire one of the sodium/potassium bullets at a person, then wouldn't there be an explosion?
+TheBackyardScientist I see what you did there...
+TheBackyardScientist You're a pretty good shot there. I wonder if hollow point rifle rounds would make a bigger boom.
this is incredibly fake. I have been watermelon hunting for 3 years and have never seen one that big.
WTF
+Alec Logelin You won't get them big like this in the wild, they're slimmer from all the running around after prey. These are obviously farm watermelons raised in tiny boxes just for slaughter. So - not fake.
+hugbearsx4 it's pretty messed up what they do to these elegant creatures but I've never gone watermelon hunting, I've heard they're rabid and so maybe they deserve it.
He is a frog in the well
This is a classic comment omg
Bazooka was made with a lot of materials
This guy : Pistol and some sodium
You should always use eye protection when shooting a firearm, and even more so when screwing around with modified rounds. Plucking out a piece of ignited sodium from your eyeball would not be very fun, but would get you tons of views as a CZcams safety fail video.
This is a good point. He didn't demonstrate very good firearms safety in this video.
Yeah I was like where is the eye protection. Just madness
he made exploding bullets i doubt he rly cared about safety by that point
In gaming context: Sodium, Potassium and Na/P alloy deals magic damage.
Cinderblock: Immune to magic.
Fire damage would be more accurate.
No. Fire/chemical damage. In general, environment is immune to chemical damage, and Stone is immune to fire damage.
Na/k
BotGamer actually Na/K because P stands for Phosphorus
energy vs. ballistic damage
I love how he stands further back with the hollow point than he does with the explosive round...
Looks to me like the explosive rounds weren’t as stable and he had to get closer to hit the target consistently
@@Dominus_Umbrae you could be right and you most likely are. I started wondering about why the military wouldn't use them, but Leads stability at farther ranges and kinetic energy is the obvious winner.
than*
@@arnulfobeltran3089 because there are world wide rules if it comes to what kind of weapons and munition are allowed to use. And my guess, this kind of munition is totally not acceptable.
@@dashboardfacts3965 I think you might be placing too much faith in established rules which satisfy only the human ego.
While true that mitigations in forms of rules exist, the reality is that all is fair in war.
I’m hoping you recreate this experiment but with ballistics jell with clothing on it.
(Maybe, with half lead half liquid to add weight?)
It would be really interesting to find out how it works with a more “realistic”
Scenario.
You should have tried it against like a large rump roast or other large piece of meat to see what it would do to an actual body
"Excuse me sir... Would you like some sodium?" "Na..."
Lol

This isn’t why. He has enough crazy weapons that this is only the top of the iceberg.
6:10 I think you need to review your gun safety protocol, you often appear to forget there's a gun in your hand after the shot.
no safety glasses too

+KoolKrisGaming HD TMI
KoolKrisGaming HD well that's okay. Not everyone likes it
Wow this was really cool. The liquid metal alloy in particular gave me really strong 40k Bolter vibes. I wonder if a bigger or different shaped bullet could allow for a larger charge to increase velocity and/or provide more penetration prior to detonation.
This dude's absolute disregard for safety is both hilarious and cringe worthy.
Yeah lol had a friend slice half his face after he blew up a pressurized can
why? what could have happend?
The "rocket" hitting him? just a scratch at best
@@LockenJohny101 poor weapon handling, no protection... Big no no
cringearious? 😂
Muzzled himself a few times. Paying more attention to the camera than the firearm. Trying to look cool instead of safe.
What about using those on ballistics gel?
Michael Runde wouldn't work that well because ballistic gelatin wouldn't create a reaction with the sodium or potassium
Just as gaming.inc said, ballistic gel is a good substitute for flesh because of its physic properties, not chemical ones.
Shooting a piece of raw meat would be interesting, tho.
Michael Runde What about using them for the death penalty, head shots?
João Serafim its only a good flesh substitute for bullet, with blades its either too easy to cut or too difficult
i was thinking that too it'd be super cool to see
6:44 "So, I'll just lu-"
Heh, didn't see that.
He really didn’t change much even after 6 years
Thanks for the videos, you make science exciting. CZcams would be nothing without great guys like you.

+Mark Topman You can say that this video made quite the reaction for some people.
Thank you !
+Harmin Huwaë LOL nice

I subbed when he was at 700k
at 1:16 I find more interesting on how the watermelon splits apart. As an avid gardener this is cool. It seems to split along the lines of the melon perfectly along the lines of the fruit, which on a musk melon or cantaloupe are more present and obvious.
Sodium (NA) has the most powerful aftermath (due to the after-flame). But the metal alloy has a bigger impact
Wish he did it with meat..he said this was a novelty but not over penetrating is actually sought after by police and security companies
then they should use hollow points, because this would cause… complications
@@rossgoosen7269 this bullet can easily be considered inhumane because if you got shot with it you would literally have a small internal explosion its too cruel to be legal, honestly im pretty sure he would get charged for using this in self defense even.
@@specificorb3 that’s literally why hollow points where invented, to inflict more pain by making the wound canal multiple times bigger by the slug expanding, if hollow points aren’t considered cruel, these won’t be.
@@JoeKurr5 there's a difference between shrapnel and a literal chemical based explosion that produces not only a shockwave but releases enough thermal energy to start a fire holopoints are much more humane than literally cauterizing someone's insides with a small explosion that isn't guaranteed an instant kill, hollow points don't incite an exothermic chemical reaction.
@@JoeKurr5 picture getting shot, it explodes inside you, simultaneously cauterizing it you don't immediately die from the wound or bleeding out but as the cavity slowly bleeds in the remaining unreacted bits of, potassium/sodium get exposed to more blood which causes them to continue reacting and burning you from inside. holopoints just break up into bits. one is much much worse. sodium is a very very soft metal you can break it up with your fingernails it can and most likely will break into pieces just like a holopoint when it enters your body and likely will have dispersed too much energy to exit my guy.
Seriously missed the chance to call them, “explodium,” bullets.
Sounds like the first half of a Harry Potter spell

i wish you could redo this with demolition ranch.
archmagetyler Matt even visited a few weeks back, when he did the molten metal squirt gun video (you can see it on Mat's vlog channel). Either we're in for an amazing demo ranch episode, or these two just wasted a huge potential for awesome...
Damn now I know the FBI paid him a visit😂
It would be interesting to see in the dark the sodium-potassium alloy bullet shot up in the air, obviously in like an empty desert for safety reasons.

imagine how much liquid metal you can fit into a BMG
A 50 BMG?
@@micaiahwolfe yes. the bullet has more grainage than action express. heavier. more space inside of a copper jacket to fill with NaK. Especially in subsonic .50 BMG which would have to have even MORE projectile mass and LESS powder.
thiss means rather than overpenning a target, it would just dead stop regardless and dump all its "muh stopping power"
and now on top of this hollow point flowering out
a hot spicy payload of NaK is dumped into the impact cavity.... full of... wet meat.
Even something like a .308

They'd be banned under international law, sorry to ruin your day. The Hague Convention of 1898 bans bullets that deform in the body, and various treaties ban incendiary rounds for use against personnel.
+Joe Gaylord Shouldn't disturb much if we use modified bullets against ISIs pigs
I actually randomly thought about doing this today... glad someone else did save me the trouble
When I do that sort of fun stuff, people tell me I'm crazy
I am going to correct you right here... The reason why the filled bullets failed was they explode on the surface on a cinder block. The bullets are fragmented and it is not a matter of the fill metal being softer. It is a matter of the bullet shedding mass too soon when it chooses to fragment. The normal lead bullet, even the hollow point doesn't fragment correctly under normal circumstances hitting a cinder block.
This is sort of the reason why Reactive Armor works the way it does. The exploding bullet on a "Hard" target works against you if the bullet explodes too soon.
Now considering Chemistry and what you get when you mix Sodium or Potassium with water especially under those stresses you actually are making the water in a body itself explode. While against Vests and Jackets these rounds would be sort of questionable in effectiveness you make any "wet" hits and the target will be suffering amputations. There are secondary legal implications behind ammo like this. There is something you can try to control the burn of the round... epoxy coating the tip to form a shatter on impact plug. Also you can try putting a ball bearing glued into the tip as a seal and anvil too. This might get you into a cinder block before the explosion spoils the penetration.
An idea would be to make the explosive fill material out of cesium. It would not explode on hard targets but explode upon moisture (soft targets).
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Cesium is a bad choice. I would opt for a metal with a low melting point instead of trying for a chemical reaction. Mercury would be a great choice followed by Gallium but both would need to be encapsulated since both react with other metals and would have a short if not dramatically short shelf life. Also there is a huge draw back to the fact both metals would leave a toxic residue behind. Cesium and Sodium are also WAY too reactive to be safe to handle unless you want to make these in a sealed chamber using inert gas to not set off either metal in its pure state to handle them.
Eye-pro
Srsly.
The guys standing BEHIND YOU had eye-pro on. And I KNOW you know about ricochets: I watch your stuff..... 😎
After getting sprayed by the exploding melon with residual sodium, you would think something would have clicked
And now I've seen the only footage ever of someone shooting a water bottle witha real gun and metal bullets, actually hitting it, and not destroying it in the process. Nice
That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen !
I need flaming tracer rounds that vaporize
Wouldn't the bullets be made "Explodium"?
I'll leave now.
EnforcerOfTheGalaxy FOH
wonder what these would do vs flesh since there's a lot of water in it? Shoot a ham hock or steak?
USonuMabeaCh it would be very very bad. as in over 100 years ago an international ban was put on weapons like these in warfare
who are you going to kill? 😂😂
If they came into contact with any blood the reaction could be especially violent, since blood plasma is about 80% water.
And USonuMabeaCh, I'm with you on wanting to see a test on some meat - particularly ham as it reacts to impacts and explosions very much like human flesh. After all, pigs hearts are almost identical to ours - to the point where they can be transplanted into humans.
Yes
Unlike the melon flesh should stay intact longer giving the metals more time to react makeing the explosion more pronouced and distinguishing it from the rounds energy on high speed. Definatly worth exploring
Love the science. Now I know which bullet to use.
the rounds are so magical they look like fire ball and explode on impact.
Francium bullet, anyone with me
IM A GECKO yassssss
IM A GECKO he'll yeah
I think Francium is highly radioactive, so storing them would be very difficult due to their short half-life.
Correct. That's kind of a TLDR version of the pointlessly-verbose thing that I said.
But yes, half-life of only 22 minutes isn't the best for a bullet.
Opt for Cesium ... Fr's abundance in the natural world is amazingly low and is only "easily" observed when held in check by laser beams in a magnetic field. You better be in a 0% humidity scenario or it'll burn you up before it ever makes it into the casing.
Imagine if this thing blew up in the gun

I wonder how the kinetic energy from higher velocity (at least compared to NaK which ignites and is clearly less aerodynamic and slower) and mass of lead bullet compares to the chemical energy of the other metals/alloy reacting with water.

Idont think you will even see this comment xD but i figured you were using the same block, i dont think the lead bullet was the strongest, it just had the block at its weakest
+Ronnie Dasnieton Good point, but the lead bullet would smash a block in 1 or 2 shots either way. The alkali bullets had a kinetic energy of 120 joules, the heavier lead bullets have 500 joules of energy.
+TheBackyardScientist oohhh so it woudlnt have mattered hahaha, nevermind then me trying to sound smart didnt work out today 😂
+Ronnie Dasnieton well thats easy to test if you have a 9mm with lead bullets and a cinderblock.
+Liono liony hehehe yeah but i dont 😂
I think that too
I love watching all the slow motion videos, watermelons and milk jugs make great targets.
Add 3-4 drops of red food coloring to the water jugs, makes it even easier to see when the bullets impacts and sprays.
If you use 5 boxes of Jello instead of 8 in a gallon milk jug you get really soupy ballistic gel which works great to spray everywhere.
The sodium+potassium bullet would be great against zombies or other monsters. It's like a mini bolter round.
Devastating and amazing rounds
Best case with those bullets, the fleshwound they produce is instantly cauterized.
This begs the question, how hot does a chainsaw need to be to instantly cauterize any wounds caused by it?
I need to know by friday.
You should try a pork shoulder to see if tissue has enough moisture to have the same effect.
Kentucky Ballistics hiding in the background... “It’s Watermelon Tiiiimmmeeee!!!”
Sodium Bullet : explodes your fleshes
Potassium Bullet : explodes you
It'll never penetrate a cinder block, it's a hollow point
These would be really scary anti-personnel bullets, because humans are over 70% water.
If you shot someone in, say, the shoulder, with one of these, their shoulder would literally explode.
Unless you're wearing armor.
people dont wear armour on their shoulders mostly only vests
I'd be curious to know if that would violate international rules of war. Also, along the lines of what My3DS was saying, I'm curious as to whether it would penetrate armor. It's a very interesting concept, though.
+xXMy3DSXx U mean a bulletproof vest?
+mvmlego1212 I don't think it would break the rules of war iirc the Geneva convention is okay with explosives being used on infantry.
This was an amazing video. Great idea.
I have to think the potassium would make an amazing defense round. Apart from the wow factor, you wouldn't have to worry about the round going in and out and hitting someone else. Mass shooters wouldn't get any 2-for-1s.
@Hudson Rivers you know I wasn't talking to anyone in particular, right? That's how comments on CZcams work.
