Detonation vs Deflagration - Smarter Every Day 1

less than 1m read
·Nov 3, 2024

Hey, it's me, Destin. So, um... we don't have really awesome accents and we don't have a lot of money, but we do know our guns. And we are rocket scientists. So, we're gonna start a new web series called Smarter Every Day.

[Music] Uh, we're gonna try to teach you something about twice a week. Today we have the Saiga-12 with a 20-round mag. So we're going to teach you the difference between a detonation and a deflagration. A detonation is something that is sonic. You have a shockwave or a disturbance in the air. A deflagration is something that is subsonic. So basically, it's just a rapid oxidation, but there's no shockwave. So that's what we're going to demonstrate.

Let's make this science official. With goggles. Here we go.

[Cocking] Alright.

[Slow motion gunshots] Well, looks like our flame went out on one.

[Successive gunshots] But it's still pretty fun. Saiga-12, 20-round mag, double-ought buck. It's worth the price of admission.

[Unloading] Anyway, just remember: in the end, it's all gonna burn. Or... at least deflagrate. Now that you know the word, right? Have a good one.

Captioning in different languages welcome. Please contact Destin if you can help.
