The video discusses various unusual types of ammunition throughout history, highlighting their unique features and purposes. It covers underwater dart bullets developed by the Soviet Union for potential underwater combat, egg-shaped bullets designed for an American rifle in the 1860s, non-lethal electric shock projectiles for law enforcement, and several others including a tank shotgun cartridge, pork-infused bullets intended as a deterrent for Islamic fundamentalists, triangular bullets for increased carrying capacity, square bullets from the 18th century, salt shotgun cartridges for non-lethal defense, and rocket-propelled bullets tested during the Vietnam War. The video emphasizes the ingenuity and sometimes bizarre nature of these ammunition types.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The Soviet Union developed an underwater assault rifle in the 1970s.
2. The rifle fired a type of miniature dart bullet that was 150mm long.
3. The bullet was stabilized by a hydrodynamic cavity generated by its flat tip.
4. The rifle was designed for underwater combat and was completely useless on land.
5. The PS rifle had a capacity for 26 bullets.
6. The effective range of the rifle was 30 meters at a depth of 5 meters.
7. The 58 caliber PSuv art was an egg-shaped ammunition developed in the early 1860s.
8. The ammunition was originally designed for an old American stock loading rifle.
9. The egg-shaped ammunition was designed to generate a great force that would make the projectile pass through 38cm thick boards at a distance of 100 meters.
10. The 58 caliber PSuv art was a highly valued collector's item, with only 12-15 copies in the world.
11. The Extended Range Electronic Projectile (EX REP) is a non-lethal munition that can hit targets at 30 meters away.
12. The EX REP works like a standard stun gun, dropping targets with 1.3 milliamps of electricity for 20 seconds.
13. The projectile has similar measurements to a shotgun cartridge and can be fired from any pump-action shotgun.
14. The 14.9mm OP is an incredible long-range rifle project that fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient.
15. The rifle has an accuracy of 0.5 to 2.7 kilometers and remains supersonic up to 5 kilometers.
16. The 14.9mm shop is being considered as a piece of artillery, but the developers have obtained the blessing of the ATP to build them with an extension for sporting purposes.
17. The 120mm M1028 cartridge is a projectile for the American M1 Abrams tank.
18. The cartridge contains 1100 10mm tungsten balls that are lethal up to 700 meters.
19. The M1028 cartridge was developed for the close defense of tanks against assault infantry and to break through infantry concentrations.
20. The cartridge has been approved and has proven effective against other targets.
21. The Marines fired M1028 projectiles during their artillery training exercise in February 2005.
22. The triangular bullets were designed by David Dardik in the mid-1950s for his line of open-chamber weapons.
23. The triangular bullets allowed the user to carry 50% more ammunition in a box.
24. The Dardik revolver and triangular ammunition were developed in the 1950s but were never used again and the project was abandoned.
25. The Little pistol was a flintlock weapon mounted on a tripod and equipped with a single barrel and a manually operated rotating cylinder.
26. The pistol was designed by Little in 1718 and was advertised as an anti-pirate cannon for use on ships.
27. The pistol could fire nine rounds per minute, which compared favorably with the musketeers of the time.
28. The pistol was never used during any combat operation or war.
29. The Grain Salt shotgun cartridges were designed to scare intruders and were found to be effective in ballistic tests.
30. The rock salt is fragile enough to break at close range without breaking the skin but will still hurt.
31. The Jairo Jet was a rocket-powered blade developed in the late 1960s by a small group of weapons engineers.
32. The Jairo Jet was made in pistol and carbine configurations and fired 12 or 13mm rockets called micro jets.
33. The Jairo Jet had angled ports in its bases that contained the propellant and cavities that allowed it to travel.
34. The Jairo Jet was tested by the US Army Military Assistance Command but was not widely adopted.
35. The rocket leaves the barrel with little energy and accelerates until the fuel runs out at about 18 meters.
36. The Jairo Jet had several advantages, including no recoil, the ability to be fired underwater, and the ability to penetrate armor 100 meters away.
37. However, the Jairo Jet had extreme inaccuracy and was intended for combat in Vietnam.
38. The Jairo Jet enjoyed a brief cameo in a James Bond film and was the subject of half-hearted espionage but soon fizzled out and the project was abandoned.
