Thanks for your support! Shooting explosives doesn’t make them explode. In reality, a bullet passes straight through materials like C-4 — no explosion, no Hollywood fireball. Modern military explosives are engineered to be incredibly stable, only detonating under one very specific condition. In this video, we break down the real physics of explosions, the critical difference between burning and detonating, and why detonators matter more than the explosive itself. Once you understand this, every action movie scene will look completely different. #science #military #physics #didyouknow #engineering
