This video features a range session with the Czech vz.52 rifle, a predecessor to the vz.52/57. While experiencing malfunctions like hangfires and duds, the presenter managed to conduct a ballistics gel test with the 7.62x45mm ammunition. The video also references a book on the vz.52 and 52/57 series and provides links to the author's book, Patreon, Utreon, Floatplane, and merchandise.
This video from Brownells Gun Techs™ debunks the myth that wet ammunition is unsafe to fire. Steve and Caleb explain that while some internet 'experts' advise against it, properly sealed ammunition, including military-grade and commercial metallic-cased ammo submerged for less than 24 hours, can typically be fired after thorough drying. They outline potential risks like misfires, 'pop and no kick' failures, or hangfires, emphasizing the importance of muzzle discipline. Shotshells are noted as being less waterproof. Ultimately, the video concludes that wet ammo is usable if dried correctly, busting the common misconception.

The content is presented as educational, showcasing a potentially dangerous incident that was thankfully averted. The video was filmed in a safe environment, a gun range, and encourages viewers to follow for more content while also providing business contact information.
This video provides a detailed evaluation of Ethiopian 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition, imported by Century International Arms. The analysis covers three key areas: visual inspection of appearance and packaging, live-fire testing including velocity and consistency measurements using a 7.62x51mm Israeli K98k Mauser rifle, and a teardown to assess bullet weight consistency. The ammunition is believed to have been produced between 1977 and 1985 at the Emperor Haile Selassie Ammunition Factory in Addis Ababa, intended for rifles like the BM59 and M14, and machine guns. The video notes a significant hangfire issue present in at least half the fired rounds, despite all rounds firing on the first primer strike. Bullet weights are found to be consistent, with an average of 143.4 grains. The presence of a gilding metal over steel jacket is confirmed, which attracts a magnet.
