Opening Soviet AMMO CAN from 1989

Wow, they sealed that ammo like they were expecting a nuclear war or something.

In 2004, in the Danish army, we were still opening US made .50 cal ammo cans with chained up ammo for the Browning M2, the rounds were made in 1943 and worked like a charm.

Как же все бережно упаковано... глаз радуется:)

Beautifully packaged and prepared for LONG term storage. Despite it's age the 54R is still a very competent round as well. I was surprised by the accuracy of the 54R when testing it versus other far newer round designs.

Tough can, solid Stalinium.

That spam can was sealed for longer than I've been alive lol

Factory 188 now goes by LVE in Novosibirsk, Russia. They currently make Ammo for Wolf’s WPA brand.

I purchased 20 of these cases of 2 cans per case back in the early 80s. At only $45 per case. And shot them all up in less than 15 year's. Great ammo! Bring them back from lost in time. This ammo is from back when the SKS & AK47 Were selling for $35 & $75 each. Back in the Golden Era of planking thru life

All the Steve1989 references in the comments give me hope for the future.

In Russia, such a can with cartridges is called "zinc"/цинк (because inside it is coated with zinc to protect it from corrosion). In a standard wooden box two such "zinc" are stacked. "Zinc" are the same size for all types of cartridges, the difference is thus the number of cartridges that are placed inside. The heaviest “zinc” are those in which the pistol cartridges lie, because there are many of them that fit and they fill the volume very tightly. I know this from my own experience - I’ve been able to drag a lot of these “zinc”.

This is definitely one of the coolest unboxing videos I have seen 👍

Одно удовольствие наблюдать, как все упаковано, бумага, сам вид коробочки. Артефакты великой цивилизации.

Soldiers: Im hungry, what do we have for today? Officer: Bullets

Now THAT’S an unboxing video!

I sure miss Danny's wit and humor. Rest in peace Danny! Maybe I'll see you on the other side!

He never failed to bust out some kind of unexpected witty remark. RIP Danny

04.00am me : ok its time to sleep now Youtube: wanna see someone open ammo can from 1989? me: sure

- lemme sniff this - no Danny, dont do that! - wow, i like this, smells like СОЮЗ НЕРУШИМЫХ РЕСПУБЛИК

When we were kids, we could buy Russian made .22's box of 50 for 1$. But about 5% wouldn't fire and if you shot to the sky, you could see the bullet go. You get what ya pay fer!

Quite something seeing Danny in action again! Stay well folk! Thanks!
