VIDEO Muzzle Flash on night vision

While this has an XD in .45 and some AKs, it has quite a few other guns, so it's here in this forum.

It's been instructive that while filming in night vision to see just how much muzzle flash is being produced on different guns.

Here's a little video I made showing some of the flash produced in a couple of my recent shoots.

YouTube - Muzzle Flash Montage 1 (Sept & Oct)

The big surprise for me had to be just how much unburned powder there is from Wolf 7.62X39mm hollowpoints even after being put through a flash suppressor or a silencer (AAC Krinkov).

Some of the others are somewhat massive but no surprise as I've been filming with a Gen 3 NVD for a while now. Except maybe the Serbu Super Shorty.... We only caught 1 out of 3 muzzle flashes from that fire monster as the NVD would wink out. But, for what you can see only surprises me in that we didn't burn all the hair off our hands.

Enjoy,

Frank

Nice vid but here is some muzzle flash for you. This was out camping and it was pitch black out, all the light is purely from the shot.

Too bad it's not muzzle flash. That's a Dragon's Breath shell if I am not mistaken.

It's a flash that came from the muzzle right...... thus a muzzle flash. That's cheating, I know.

And yeah its a dragons breath round. Here is the video of it:

YouTube - Tannerite, Tracers and Propane oh my!!!!
