I doubt the match does anything at all other than make a soft "crack" sound like a cap gun. I used to shoot wooden matches from my pellet gun so they would "crack" when they hit something hard --- but they also started on fire so if you were to shoot a matchstick at a brick wall next to dry grass the matchstick would make the "crack" sound but would also fall into the grass and start a fire.

A couple of serious problems here, first in the U.S. anyway, you can no longer get "strike anywhere" matches which is what's needed as "strike on box" simply won't normally ignite that way and burn too slow if they manage it. Well you can get a version of "strike anywhere" here but what's sold as that type of match (usually as camping or survival items) is little more than a bad joke and they won't work either. The correct "strike anywhere" matches can be sold in the U.S. but D.O.T. regulations now require them to be transported as HAZMAT items making them so expensive they are no longer produced or sold here. Second as a kid growing up in the hills of Kentucky I can attest to the fact that while this gun does work it has at best the power of a BB gun! The correct matches were everywhere back in those days and we were well aware of the explosive nature of the things, we as kids built everything from versions of the gun described to literal pipe cannons loaded with dozens of match heads all discharging at once (yeah we played dangerously but we had fun!). So I know from experience this thing could be used for self defense only by a (VERY!) lucky shot to an assailant's eye! A good air pistol would be more effective so don't fall for the BullS#!t here, this thing is about as effective for self defense as a BB gun and way less accurate!

no, it is nonsense (except it suckered me into wasting my time watching it and now commenting on it - so he got what he wanted) Rubber slams the striker pin into the match which pushes the pellet out - like a pea shooter. Only purpose I can see for using a match at all is that the match will make a "pop" sound when struck hard like that. Maybe a tiny bit of propulsion from the match head igniting but the pellet would already be pushed out of the bolt by the pointy end of the match so I think it's pure nonsense
