  1. 10:20 - Of course, if you're in an actual combat situation and this happens, the best option is often still to eject the round and hope it doesn't grenade while it's in the air; for someone engaged in active combat, the risk of the round being a hangfire that might explode post-ejection is often less severe than the risk of the enemy shooting you while you're waiting to see if the round is going to go off.

  2. 2:50, 4:41 - The technical term for the Ge'ez script (that used for Ethiopian and Eritrean languages like Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo, etc.; its namesake is the ancient Ge'ez language, which is nowadays used only by the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox and Catholic Churches and the Beta Israel Jews, and then only as a liturgical language) is an abugida. Each individual glyph is composed of a base form which represents a consonant followed by a certain default "inherent vowel"; if a consonant is followed by a vowel other than the default, or by no vowel at all, this is indicated by tacking a small modifier decal onto the glyph. (The script was originally an abjad, where vowels simply aren't indicated and have to be inferred [like in non-Biblical Hebrew, r lk 'm dng n ths sntnc cls fr prpss f dmnstrtn]; when it was in this stage, the glyphs that today represent consonant + inherent vowel were used to represent the bare consonants. The Ge'ez script evolved from an abjad to an abugida by about 350 C.E. at the latest [around the same time as the Christianization of the Kingdom of Axum, the predecessor of modern Ethiopia], and possibly much earlier; around this time, it also switched from being written right-to-left [like Arabic and Hebrew] to being written left-to-right [like Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Devanagari, etc.].)

  3. 11:09 - I'm curious, why would a range be concerned about ferromagnetic rounds?
