About

I am a forensic expert witness, and thought some of my experiences related to ballistics might be worth sharing. I created BackyardBallistics to provide interesting and (hopefully) entertaining videos regarding the science of guns and ballistics, and also related topics coming from my engineering background. In the process, I will also feature lots of cool guns I have at my disposal for my job. Whoever you are and wherever you live, I would really love to share my experience with you!

Video Description

Did you know that the plunger airgun technology can be made to shoot much faster than any firearm can? In this video I'm exploring how a springer airgun works, and what limits the maximum muzzle velocity in common guns. If you can and want to help me making videos like this, you can directly support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/backyardballistics with your help, I can keep making educational content without having to give up my freedom of speech to the advertiser's needs.
