I've shot "rusty ammo" more than a few times and have never had a gun blow up on me.

I really appreciate your going in to depth on so much Mauser-related content. Clears up a lot of obscure questions that Google rarely or never answers. 8mm Mauser doesn't get as much love as it deserves these days, in my humble opinion.

Thanks for taking the time to show this. Very interesting.

Excellent video Mike! All that work you do is very appreciated by all of us! I love seeing internal components of bullets, and how they were constructed 80 years ago! Thanks again! Excellent video.

Great stuff! Lot's of fun and informative. Cant wait to see the range test. Thanks.

Great vid Mike, some insight: I've shot a few hundred of the lacquered steel cased 8mm from 43 and 44 and inside most of the cases was rust. Ive had many complete case failures resulting in cracks going the length of the whole case. But oddly enough when shooting you don't notice anything different. No severe gas leaks or anything. It's only obvious when you look at the cases afterwards. Not sure how safe that is, but thats my experience with this stuff (and also the same type of lacquered East German 8mm from the 50's)

Thanks for the info mike, I just grabbed a few boxes of this stuff. I might have to hunt down some more. I have some 1938 brass cased stuff on matching stripper clips I've been tempted to shoot but idk lol thanks again for all the info

"I love the smell of burning powder" Sounds like a idea for a perfume line 🤔

Mike B! You’re crazy brother! Love your videos and surplus shit. Awesome. More ASMR weapons!!!

I've had great success reloading these on more recently made casings, now they're sitting properly stored and sealed for another 80+ years with the other surplus lol

Great video, looking forward to more

I got about 400 rounds and one box was an older version. The tip was exposed steel but it was a lot more rusty and corroded then the regular ones. The older box says “Ptr Smk” rather than the “15 patronen smk”

It might be in my head. But the first rounds powder seemed a much lighter grey than all the others.

Cool video thanks for sharing

Thank you

I'm very surprised that those ammo don't contain that much rust ! Thanks for the informations !

Bought a few boxes of these today 👍🇺🇸 thx for the video, these are nice to have think imma get a few more, ones they have are brass so hopefully they’re safe gonna test a few lol 😂

I just picked up 60 rounds of this. I though AP for 95 cpr was too good to pass up. Although all of mine came as brass case. My end plan is to hand them off to a buddy to replace the powder

Gotta consider that Germany was cranking this stuff out as fast as possible and likely not loading anything in perfect atmospheric conditions. Germany is extremely humid most times of the year and most components may had been exposed to moisture in the air before being loaded

Those 4 bullets worth of powder burned so slow!! So how come in the actual casing when you shoot the gun and the powder ignites (BOOM) it burns so much faster??

That paper bowl was incredible. Do you have a link for them? Thank you.

Great stuff

Hey mike I can send you some incendiary 8mm if your interested, would make a cool video. they are spectacular hitting steel

Thank. You.

I'm suprised the cases aren't rusty. Maybe the bullets were already rusty before getting put in the case?

Mike I know this is off topic... but will you release an opinion video on the current Afghanistan crisis? I'm just curious to see what you'd say.

Good vid although it would have been nice if you had taken the jacket off the bullet to see the core.

Could you disassemble the round itself, like make a cross cut of it?

I know where you got that ammo from too bad I can't get any and none of that type of ammo can never be shipped at my state. Also what tool is that to take the bullet out ? I might get one of those

Where you get this ammo bobby..? Don't worry about it billy...

You can repurpose the WW2 German tungsten rounds.

did you get these from the mosin crate?

hlb/st/4/43 hlb=P163: Metallwarenfabrik Treuenbritzen GmbH, Werk Selterhof St: Steel case 4: Lot number 43: Year

You failed to answer a very important question... What's actually in the bullet? I'll apologize if I missed it, because I skipped through it all quite fast, but I didn't see you cut open a bullet. SmK or Spitzgeschoss mit Kern means it's a pointy bullet with a core. Core of what? EDIT: gave it some more time and you said "steel core bullet", I guess that's my question answered, thank you!

can you do a video on what the US would have worn during WWII in 1942-1943

Dont forget the flashlight next time♡

You're welcome

Hey Mike, any chance you would sell me about four boxes of that?

you are brave to use an impact puller on ammo that old!

I would really like to buy at least one clip with ammunition do you think that's possible I'm a fellow collector I've lost everything I've had and I mean everything just went through a bad breakup after 7 years so what she didn't destroy throw out give away there's nothing left so if I could buy a clip off you that would really be cool

Do you ship to the uk?

Wholy slow burning

YOUr DESTORYING A PACE OF HIS STORY!!!!!!1111111111

What the he'll kinda course shit is that?

Question: Does Mil-Surplus rounds were safety to fire at those modern rifles?
