@@Uk-ct3zm How they score is up to the individuals involved; there's no standard for them to follow, so it's going to be indicative of the kind of person they are. This guy, like he said, doesn't guess, probably has zero room for sloppiness or 'close enoughs' in his job, so he's going to rule harshly on the visual accuracy and not so much on the emotional accuracy. That scene from _The Hurt Locker_ where the specialist pulls the cables and reveals the constellation of shells around him is low on procedural accuracy, sure, but what the director is trying to do there is give the audience of non-specialists the experience of the specialist suddenly realising that this job has suddenly got a lot hairier than he expected. A real-life specialist would have maybe just noticed the half-buried cable, then done a slow scan of the ground to pick up the other cables and the subtle signs in the dirt of the buried shells that experience and training has taught him about. Very tough to show an audience who aren't trained in spotting IEDs and don't know the procedures. Even tougher to show the audience that moment of "Oh, shit" even the most stoic of specialists will feel at that moment of realisation while maintaining the highest standard of photographic and procedural realism. If you want your audience to feel what the guy on the screen is feeling - which you do, because that's what movies are for - you show enough realism to get them into the groove of identifying with the character, and _then_ pull back on the realism and bludgeon them with the emotional impact shots. "You, audience member, are now standing in the middle of a bunch of artillery shells wired together. How does that feel? Scared yet?" Which is not to say that our guy is wrong to rate these scenes low, or the physicist is right to rate her scenes not so low. Like I said, there's no standard. These vids are entertainment themselves, not a health and safety inspection.

Funny story. In my country (Czech Republic) every time there was a change to weapon or gun laws, there was also a "weapon amnesty" during which anyone could bring in any weapon that they had illegally in their possession to the police station, give it to the cops and walk away just like that. No questions asked. And apparently it has happened on multiple occasions that someone walked in with a random grenade or a mortar shell. Also some people who find what is clearly unexploded ordnance seem to be convinced that just picking it up, sticking it into their plastic grocery bag and taking it across town to the cop house is a reasonable thing to do.

@@rat3072 yes the S mine did more injury than killing because of its design. A normal mine explodes straight up, pretty much the entire force killing who ever stepped on it. It's small explosion radius could kill those close by, but not further away since the explosion went more upward than outward. The S-mine when activated exploded about a meter above the ground, sending shrapnel in all directions, had a greater range because of this. This allowed the mine radius to send shrapnel further around the mine instead of the force upward. So it could kill those nearby, and injure those further away. So within 20m could kill you pretty easy, but could also injure and hit people 100m away. Germans loved their mines. They loved building non-metal mines to prevent detection, and coated some with radioactive material so their geiger counter mine detectors could find them, but metal detection mine detectors could not.

Surprisingly, the method used in Lethal Weapon 2 would have been MORE effective in real life than is shown in the movies. The Mythbusters tested the scene, and when they immersed a period-accurate battery (along with the rest of the detonation mechanism) in liquid nitrogen, it took about 10 minutes for it to thaw out and actually fire, meaning they could have walked out of there. But, just to cover their bases, they tested the bathtub dive to see if someone inside a big cast-iron tub covered by the bomb blanket would survive the blast - the pressure levels they registered showed that they would, at worst, walk away with ringing ears.

Harder to do these days, as you don't get so many mass-produced bombs thrown around (well, not at _us)._ IEDs are improvised so there's no standard, though many are produced according to patterns evolved by experienced IED-makers; I'd guess that there are characteristics you can identify, though nothing as certain as the script and actors can portray.

These bombs/musicians are still found and that kind of work is still being done. Defusing s one thing then it has to be destroyed or deposed of correctly.

A two-stage warhead utilizing both nerve agent and explosives would actually make sense if you were to specifically target a facility that makes use of sealed rooms or haz-mat equiptment. The nerve gas is deadly, but only if it can be spread around. So you ensure that it can be spread around.

I know Mythbusters tested the Lethal Weapon 2 scene. They put pressure sensors in a cast iron tub, and the tub did, in fact, actually deflect the shock wave. I remember they froze C4 with Liquid N2, and it didn't thaw for several minutes. Then they burned C4 and smashed it, and contrary to what I was told by my grandfather, it didn't explode either.

This was really interesting. Thank you, Lloyd Davies, for your service and for your commentary.

What these guys do is so incredibly terrifying. War is nerve wracking enough without having to worry about IEDs..

At 10:35, if I remember correctly, the Mythbusters actally tested that and if im not mistaken it was found to actually work in princable, the liquid nitrogen essentally just froze that battery and dissabled the detonator. Although I totaly understand that you wouldn't necessarily want to do that in a real situation, as he said, you wouldn't know how the device would react to the loss of power like that

I don't have EOD experience, but I do have some electronics knowledge, and I think making a bomb that will go off if its battery is removed or disabled would be quite difficult, as I think detonators require a decent amount of power, so even if you could power the logic off a capacitor bank, running the detonators would be more complicated. You could have two batteries connected independently and add the logic to have the bomb explode if one was removed, but that'd be a decent bit of design effort, and the bomb maker would have to be thinking about that method of defusal

I cant remember the film but years ago I saw one where the countdown was doing it's thing and the demo guys were racing the clock and all of a sudden it beeped at like 2:19. Turns out it was an instructor letting the bomb techs know that bad guys watch movies too and countdown timers are bullshit.

When I started watching the video, I was thinking that it would be wonderful if he watched Juggernaut, but they would certainly never include an older, lesser known movie like that. Score! However, I have to give him a 3 out of 10 for the fact that it looks like they only showed him the brief clip that he played. The red vs. blue wire was at the very end after they disarmed a whole bunch of other complicated devices inside the bombs. I would love to see him rate the entire process, not just that last moment. He was dead right to criticize the final moment, though, but not his reasoning for it. Harris's character correctly susses out that Freddie Jones was lying about which wire to cut, so no, he was not wrong to change the plan. But it has always bugged me that he did not announce his switch. If he was wrong about the lie, it would have cost at least one more team member his life.

Great host/expert! A lot of fun to watch!

So glad you did Juggernaut. Love that film.

That's good for him but actors and even advisors rarely have the final say on screenplay writing, usually if the writer wanted a scene where they step on a mine and have to defuse it in the field it's going to happen regardless of realism or experience of the actors/advisors.

Thats cool to know. I do think that a lot of stuff in Seal Team looks good, but they do have that Hollywood mark all over it. On how they act against their councelers and stuff. I also would imagine that mines like these exist for areas you may want to mine but mostly to slow people down. That escape is an option if you have the time to manage it. Also: if a mine hasn't gone off when you pressed it, there would still be a chance of it going off when you step off, so I still think its a valid scene for that.

Scene would be completely different if it just blew up... I mean where's the suspense in that. Real mines can function like that, less than 1% by design, but it's possible the primer became impinged making it super pissed off and ready to blow at the slightest movement. Think of a bullet primer being struck by the firing pin (much sharper) and being stuck inside the primer of the bullet. Friction sets it off in addition to impact.

Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.

I was expecting a detailed analysis of "countdown timers". If a bomb is designed and placed to "not be found", the builder knows how much time is left and from his perspective nobody else needs to know. Even if used for extortion, it would have to be deactivated remotely, but still the builder knows the time left. The only purpose is letting the audience know, but as far s the builder is concerned, there is no audience.
