How a Bullet Works 3D Animation

In this informative video, we delve into the fascinating world of bullets, exploring their anatomy and mechanics to gain a deeper understanding of how they work. Join us as we uncover the science behind these small yet powerful projectiles.

Starting with the basics, we explain the various components that make up a bullet, including the casing, primer, powder, and projectile. Discover how these elements work in tandem to create controlled explosions and propel the bullet down the barrel of a firearm.

We then dive into the intricacies of bullet ballistics, discussing concepts such as muzzle velocity, bullet drop, and trajectory. Explore how factors like bullet weight, shape, and aerodynamics influence its flight path and performance, making each bullet type unique.

To provide a visual demonstration, we use high-quality animations and graphics to showcase the internal and external workings of a bullet. Witness the ignition of the primer, the burning of the powder, and the precise moment of bullet release.

Safety is of utmost importance, and we emphasize responsible firearm handling throughout the video. We highlight the significance of following proper safety protocols when dealing with firearms and ammunition.

Whether you're a firearms enthusiast, a curious learner, or simply interested in the science behind projectiles, this video offers valuable insights into how bullets function. Join us on this educational journey to uncover the inner workings of one of mankind's most significant inventions.

The powder you describe is black powder. No longer used in any modern cartridges. Modern smokeless powders are nitroglycerin based.

And all this happens just in a blink of an eye...

[jaydelgado]

It’s awesome tbh like the person who created guns and bullets is genius!

[whiplash]

Whatever to all the haters. Cool animation. People might be surprised by how many folks actually believe the entire cartridge exits the barrel. This clearly shows what actually happens.

A lot of effort went into this but there are a couple of gross inaccuracies. Most egregious is, modern cartridges do not use "black power" made of potassium nitrate, sulfur and carbon. They use smokeless powder, which is typically a combination of nitrated compounds(nitro cellulose and nitro glycerin) and additive chemicals that help control the burn rate, fouling, etc. But I do love the animation and narration style. (edited to correct a mistake I made in writing late an night. :)

Also, the lead part of the bullet is usually hollow so as to be able to fill it with a much stronger material depending on the operational needs. Most commonly used core materials are liberty, justice and democracy.

The whole thing is called a Cartridge or simply ammunition. Pretty good graphics and explanation.

In case anyone is planning to use this video as reference material, it’s worth noting that the bullet & powder weight and velocity specs given are for 9mm Luger cartridges or others very similar to it (common cartridges in use today can fire bullets weighing anywhere from 17 to 400 grains or more, for example).

Watching this for "Firearm Injuries" chapter of forensic medicine. Thank you for the video, it was easy to visualise

[ArizonaGunsDave]

Right away I can spot errors. This is NOT a bullet, it is a cartridge. A cartridge consists of the primer, cartridge case, propellant load (powder) and at the very end is the actual bullet!

[indrajithmechanical]

It's all happen a fraction of seconds

[David-hmic]

Should be "How AMMUNITION Works." Bullets are only one part of AMMUNITION. The chemicals listed are for black powder which explodes. Modern smokeless powders are based on nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine compounds and are flammable solids and do not explode. At least you got the "burn" part right.

[sandersgreene]

You guys should make a lot of videos. It's very educational, we'd love to see more from you AMADAHUB

This is exactly what I was thinking of for launching an O’Neill cylinder from another, to Mars, Venus, or Mercury.

The cylinder it is pushing off of needs to be sufficiently massive, or have another attached to anchor it

[A.G.]

The Cartridges is a 9 x 19 mm. Parabellum !

[adeyemibabatunde]

How fast is this reaction in microseconds?

"Sir you haven't been paying taxes for the last 6 yea-"

[theaceofspades]

Already know but want to see animation.

[afonsoamaro]

i cant not hear free bird while watching this video

[garyr]

And all done at a fraction of a second. Blink and you missed it.
