"Don't try anything of this at home" - *deletes cluster bomb from shopping basket* - 'Damn it!'

I love the use of "fine art" for impact detection.

Safety first . Difficult to explain later at the hospital " This injury occurred when the cluster bombs exploded ."

Failure rate can be 15%. Some countries are notorious for it. Storing them for 60 years isn't helping.

I love the flashes from the det cord in slow motion...

The cluster demonstration was very impressive and gives a good insight to the effectiveness of cluster munitions. Another excellent video by our friends from Finland 🇫🇮

That single put on a show. But the clusters were terrifying! Survivability with the single is a matter of luck. With the cluster its far less possible and if you do make it to a doctor its gonna take some serious surgical skills to save you! Hey y'all need to remind the HPC viewers that this channel exists. Yesterday a few people I led to HPC had no idea about this one and they have been watching a while.

Regardless of what type of cluster munition. If you're on the receiving end of any type of those you will have a very bad day.

lol what is that a Messerschmitt hiding behind the Camera bunkers?

The first explosion shrapnel is pretty impressive considering it's placement. That's a really good even spread all around. You definitely wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near it. You guys are lucky you can make this stuff!

When I was doing my military service in frontier guards, we did similar experiment with real ww2 bombs and mortar grenades of different sizes. (Those were to destroy, because they were too old) The biggest bomb was 500 kilos. It was very interesting.

That white car lived under a tree. It looks just like my truck, but my truck is actually growing moss and ferns. It still runs everyday and I take her on long trips. Its just when we go prospect for gold in the desert i have water the truck or the plants will die.

Can you imagine getting raided by the Police whilst you are making these bombs ! “It’s for KZfaq, I usually break things with a hydraulic press but we wanted to blow some shit up”

All bombs can are bad, all bombs can fail to explode.. The issue with cluster bombs is, not the type you are using, BUT when they are loaded with "Area Denial" sub-munitions.. basically dropping a anti personnel minefield.. these are the ones that truly suck, just waiting for some kid to play football.. to their credit, some do have "time out" self neutralize after a certain time... Great stuff, as always, keep t up :)

Lauris face after the first one said it all 😂

The guy with the detonator was lucky. Looked like his arm and torso were exposed to the explosive blast through, the camera hole.

The lack of penetration from the smaller BBs is why explosives are often used in series. In WWII it was FAB to blow the roofs of houses, followed by incendiary to light the rest on fire. Similar effects can be gained today from a FAB or conventional to crack the hard targets, followed by cluster, AP or WP rounds for soft targets.

You are my favorite channel to watch for all the “dangerous” experiments! ❤ I would love to see you add a camera or two for capturing the sounds of explosions at a certain distance so that you can fully capture them without distortion. Maybe consider a bigger microphone. There is nothing like hearing a big explosion, the bigger the better! ❤

I set a Black Cat banger off in a beer can (empty) a few years ago. It threw a piece of can the size of a little fingernail into a wooden fence 4m away. ... Scary.

Oh thank you! I am now ready to watch the Starship launch.

Man you two people are the healthiest faces ive seen on youtube, i have been watching you guys for a long while, and im glad to see your faces have not changed.

Never mind the shrapnel, have a look at the shockwave!

When you said the shrapnel was only going to go in one direction I called BS. When I saw the concrete barrier I thought, ok, that might help. But I wasn't surprised when it shattered.

U.S. military bomb-disposal specialists are trained to exercise extreme caution in places where cluster weapons have been used, and to expect that about 20 percent of all submunitions, regardless of the country of origin, will fail to explode.

What will you guys try out next? "Home made KONTAKT-1 ERA vs shaped charge"???? xD

Concussive bomb vs shrapnel. 2 totally different applications. Greta stuff

"VITTU TERRRRRVE!" lol

This was a great example of the quality content on BTP channel. More like this.

I absolutely love these videos!

This was very much fun. An idea for another video is a kitchen pressure cooker with the vent blocked off. Thanks for the video.

The failure rates of bomblets are dependant on several different things, including type and age. Many of them are set off basically in the same way as a good old fashioned revolver, with a dropping "hammer", only its not even spring loaded, its purely driven by the bomblet hitting the ground. Bit too soft ground and they wont be set off. Shrubs and they wont be set off. Many also also have a streamer keeping the pin pulled out during the fall of the bomblet, which can get stuck in trees and now you have a spicy christmas tree ornament dangling off a branch in the forrest... These bomblets can also be very sensitive and a pain in the ass to remove without just blowing them up in place.

Very nice demonstration of cluster bomb vs large bomb. Cluster bombs are primarily anti-personel and they are horribly effective.

Beyond the press single handedly showing the average Finnish citizen has a small armies arsenal and knowledge of explosives and keeping Russia disinterested. Between this and their history of snipers I’d say they’re prittteee damn seqqqurree!

4:04 That gopro was like "nar mann I'm out!" before the charge went off hahaha

When serving in the Balkans on mine clearing duties cluster bombs were such a pain to collect. Not like a simple anti tank mine which can be eliminated easily these things scatter literally everywhere. It’s sad, kids play with them and if they blow up, unspeakable sight 😢.

😂😂😂 this has no business hitting this hard, everything you make is insane lol, keep up the good work!

Very interesting video. You do such a great job on all your videos. Hanna is very pretty and she has beautiful blue eyes! You guys make the best team!!

Love this guys accent great video

The failure rate of the Cluster Ammunition of Finland's neigbour is not 1 or 2%, not even 5% or 10%... it more in the realm of 30%, and it's getting worse over time.

Another great video. I really like your style. Didn't realize that cluster bombs were so destructive.

Don't forget literally anything can become deadly if it gets going fast enough

The quality of this video man :)

The Geneva Suggestions or just the Perkele 1.000.000 XD

Lauri, be careful! The Finnish Army may want to copy your innovative effectiveness test method. 😁😁😁

You did a great job (again). It is nice to see Hanna being proud of her own product :) This video is great proof that we absolutely never want to have cluster ammunition anywhere. Bombs in general are terrifying enough, using cluster ammunition anywhere in a war should be a serious war crime. Everywhere.

I had no idea Flea was also Finnish! Also goes to show how horrifically effective these munitions are.

I (explosively) disposed of quite a few anti-personnel rockets in a previous life and those things were packed with "flechettes", which are aerodynamically-shaped, fin-stabilised metal darts. They travel a lot further than regular shrapnel, and always impact point-first. Evil little things.

You guys have a lot of fun! I really enjoy all of your videos.

I wonder what would happen if you used aluminum bits instead of steel, I think the soft targets like the walls would still be dead but the car and barrels would get slapped but no holes !

The reason they aren’t used is not because they remain after, that’s easy to clean up. What they are BANNED for is they are indiscriminate

Cluster just spreads and hits everybody. Terrifying.

Very interesting, you always do a good job of explaining before any actual explosions. The camera work is impressive also. 👏 👍

Oh and thank you for helping keep me on the cia/fbi/atf watchlists for watching videos with certain keywords hahahaha

A real problem is those unexplored elements. Those can count for about 60% of the total elements for a typical cluster bomb.

This video leaves out two key things in terms of effectiveness, especially for generating shrapnel for modern cluster weapons. 1) Airburst. Most modern cluster munitions will detonate in the air to generate maximum fragmentation 2) Guidance. Modern Cluster munitions like the CBU-97/BLU-108 have active sensors in the sub munitions that help guide them to targets. So they don't drop randomly, they try to get to detected targets.

cluster bombs are illegal in 'civilized' countries according to some international laws of war, but they still get used.

You guys know how to have the best kind of fun lol

We violating the geneva convention with this one.💀💯🔥

I like hanna's boxing gloves

Himars tungsten warheads have 182,000 tungsten bbs around the explosive. It's wild seeing it in action. It detonates just above the target with all of the bbs shooting down, just a basketball court sized circle of every inch being shredded, nothing survives. Ukraine is going to have another century of clearing uxo after the war. It is on par with the dmz in Korea for mines and that isnt counting all of the other uxo. It's going to be a nightmare

Hanna is so cute, you are a lucky man

What happened to the BTP tour of the Finnish backup coal power plant? Trying to watch it again, but it's gone.

I have watched many documentaries and science films about explosions, including Mythbusters that really pushed the boundaries. However, this video shows one of the craziest and most dangerous experiments I have ever seen. Lauri, take care of yourself.

"This is our home-made warhead"

OMG that is absolutely terrifying.

awesome dont stop making these videos

I love to see how personal safety gear (lika bulletproof vest or something) withstand that.

About the cluster: it seems like it was lead balls inside? I'd love to see tungsten or at least ball bearing balls 🙂

As long as you're testing fragmentation munitions, I kind of want to see a test of the "forty pounds of gunpowder and twenty pounds of roofing nails" from Good Omens. Also come on, show us the "direct hit" where you put one bomblet right on top of the car.

Hanna is clearly a skilled bomb maker, failure rate 0%.

Good to see this feature back, much as I enjoy the press. This reminds me of stupid teenage times making %%%%% type bombs. So lucky...

Don't built a cluster bomb at home xD

You're crazy man...and I love it LOL

I'd love to see you revisit fuel air bombs (detonation), using different fuels maybe. I want to see some massive shockwaves :D

“Kolme, kaksi, yksi ” Every time I hear that I know it’s going to be a good day! I am slowly learning Finnish one word at a time. So far I have five words- the countdown, sisu and perkele. I know Finns don’t converse much but I don’t think that counts as fluency… Hey, have you guys done shaped charges? They can be tricky to build (going by what I see on the Ordnance Lab channel) and I’ve often wondered how small they can be made and still be effective. I’m talking a centimeter or two in diameter, just big enough to maybe puncture a padlock or something similar. If I had a place to try it (and the necessary training and licensing of course) I would try it myself, but since I don’t have the facility to make videos I wouldn’t be able to share my findings. Is there a lower practical limit for a given choice of explosive and liner material? Seems like there should be but I don’t know for sure. I know you have many ongoing projects, it’s just a suggestion.

7:42 if you have ever cut yourself opening a tuna tin, then when little bitty chunks of things go flying and do that to the top of oil barrels, i'm fairly sure you don't want to be around. that is some pretty stout steel wire atop that drum.😬

I'm still waiting for the big scale soap bomb... it uses hydrogen peroxide and few other household chemicals... We used it to trash our chemistry class on first day after it was rebuilt....

The det cord is fascinating .

Beyond the press 2030: nuclear bomb vs car and steel barrels

I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but does anyone else feel uneasy the way he keeps slapping the big one at the beginning?

Of course the concrete shattered. It wasn't reinforced.

Can you translate what you where saying when stood behind the bunker 🤔

How far and what does it take to set off a buried anti-tank mine? And does the secondary anti-tamper fuse make it more sensitive to that sort of treatment?

10 minutes ago I watched video about Marcus Gronholm.

I really want you guys to do a collaboration with "the ordinance lab" I think you could come up with some amazing stuff

Big single = cars and armor Small multi = anti personnel

Hanna be yourself you're chill

The issue with cluster bombs is not only for EOD after the war. It's also because it's indiscriminant. A single ordnance can be dropped in a very exact location to hit a known target. Cluster bombs will scatter the explosives over a large area including the target, but also including every innocent person who happens to be roughly in the neighborhood. Depending on the altitude at which the shell is opened, cluster munitions can hit dozens of acres or even spread out in a radius of 1km... There is no scenario where you need such large surface unless in old timey battle fields with 2 armies lined up in front of eachother. In current warfare there will always be innocent civilians within the area of deployment. (on the other hand, to destroy a building, a cluster munition that is opened only a few meters above the building will be extremely efficient to completely level the structure)

Good one. Love this channel.

My thought is this: imagine what could have happened without the concrete buffer "sheild" or sacrificial barrier? Perhaps there may have been enough energy to penetrate that concrete shield that you hid behind? 🤔 Looking at that 10c piece sized hole that went through the car like swiss cheese 😲 So this answer is that unshielded by car your most likely f****d and slim chance you avoided shrapnel by the larger spray....maybe? If it is the small network cluster then unshielded your going to be riddled with spray like a giant shot gun blast. If they used stainless steel ball bearings though they could be easily removed with a magnet? That's not too say that they haven't hit a vital organ? Shielded by a car you are only protected against the smaller network cluster if you managed to duck down before the blast when you noticed the flash? Otherwise it's going to be facial injuries. Larger cluster rounds pack way more punch because f=m x a. Greater the mass the energy to stop it. You may be able to patch many tiny holes to contain the bleeding; you ain't patching a 10c hole clean cut through someone like a cookie cutter and your friend in the passenger seat only thought about saying "what's that flash" so he's not patching you up? The dude in the passenger rear is cookie cuttered himself as well but likely slightly up more towards the chest so he may be traumatised for shorter duration than yourself? Dude on the driver's rear may have been sitting back far enough in his seat upright from the major holes through the door but the spray through the window probably not? If he ducked down then more of his upper torso would have been in the path of this largest holes through the door...... only probably 5c sized holes but still went through both doors like they weren't there......maybe 🤔 more likely not though lol. The cluster network though means greater the effective distance and more projectiles, so more potential to kill everyone because then nobody has enough blood in them to remain conscious enough to patch themselves let alone anyone else? So do you want faster and rapid or slow painful and traumatic death with hope for survival diminishing faster than quarts of blood?

The cluster bomb or ICM (improved conventional munitions) are currently being used by Ukrainian military to inflict devastating casualties to the Russian military.

I'm guessing those glowy sparks, are actually tiny BB's😬

I see experiments go more and more "crazy". Like from Ukraine!

Nobody messes with the Finns.

i also like your watch videos

Sorry mate, there is no good use of them. It is meant to cause human injury with maximum hit count (and potential inability to fix bleeding etc.). This is why its an outlawed system in so many countries.

a good way to clear the trenches. They are normally still in the air or bouncing off tree or into your dug out. scary stuff

boy you 2 have a LONG walk home lol

Run an engine on clean burn and normal tiki torch fuel and the insect repellent version
