Beyond BallisticsI've been working hard on bringing the Gyrojets back to life. I'm sure most of you already know about them, but in a nutshell they were tiny rockets invented in the 60s that were supposed to have a ballistic performance similar to that of a 45 ACP. Needless to say, they were a complete failure, and nobody has ever tried anything similar again. Until now 😎. In fact, the original design really left something to be desired, under many points of view which are covered in detail in the videos. I've made this topic into a 3 part series, with all 3 videos uploaded at the same time, covering as many aspects as possible. Not only will I be exploring a very interesting subject, that of rockets, but mostly I'll be trying to answer one question: if it had been designed properly, would the Gyrojet really stand a chance?

This one covers caustic bluing, a process that allows getting a finished bluing in a matter of minutes, making steel parts as black as they can be. As usual I'm only using readily available chemicals. Differently than rust bluing, this process is dangerous because of the large abounts of caustic soda required. Do not attempt without proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

Not necessarily guns, but any non stainless steel object can be colored through oxide conversion coating, what in the industry is generically referred to with names such as bluing, blacking, browning, black oxide etc.
This video regards RUST BLUING, a process that requires very tittle equipment and yields good and durable results. In the video I'm sharing my experience and my favourite rust bluing recipe, and I hope that'll be helpful!
