Today I am in Vlašim in the Czech Republic, where Sellier & Bellot has allowed me to film a tour of their ammunition plant. This is one of the largest ammo manufacturers in the world, and they start with basic raw material like lead, copper, and brass and ship out complete case ammunition. The machines involved in this process are really interesting - let’s have a look!

    This entire factory tour was making me think of Factorio military science production lines!

    It was pretty bloody impressive how few defective rounds would get kicked. I really expected it to be higher just because the stamping process can be wonky as hell with brass from what I had heard previously.
