DShK barrel for sure . Probably used for inspection purposes to make sure the rounds are at proper length - neck diameter and head spacing is correct .
I think it would be really cool if one day you could somehow visit one of these abandoned places with a person that actually worked/lived there to get a real insight of how everything was
Such a person would be hard to find. They would be in their 50s or 60s now and probably not too keen on the idea of sneaky around at night to go back there.
Of course the kids would know lol Idk what is it with kids in different countries but they’re like rats they just explore places better than I did in my childhood
Well, I been working with Albanian people and they explained to me when communism ended all the weapons arsenal were opened for everyone and everyone gets guns and ammo for free
I would’ve loved to been there when that happened I wonder if you can buy one of those bunkers today that would be cool by a bunker full of old equipment
No really, in 1997 the government ponzi scheme failed and took down the economy, As a result the citizens raided all government assets, including armouries.
What's really amazing about alot of old bases and especially old factories, those machines that are so well intact probably still work if u just did a bit of minor maintenance. Machines from the 1900s usually the earlier half will basically last forever. I've worked on cncs from the 40s and they will still work another 100 years from now.
Das waren fabriken für Waffen und Munition und diese fabriken waren als Reserve da wen etwas mehr Waffen oder municion gebraucht wird dann waren diese fabriken da
The longer they sit the longer they have a chance to bond. It's the reason that even black powder gets stronger with age. If you mill black powder for about 13 hours it will be good enough to explode instead of ignite add about 35 years and it will ignite like flash powder
My thoughts exactly. My father in law worked for an explosives factory. He has many stories of people who died, for example just by walking over certain chemical residues which then blew up.
Fantastic explore! What an amazing site. That's not a Grenade launcher though, it is in fact - as others have suggested - the Barrel for a DSHK Heavy Machine Gun. Basically, the Soviet equivalent of the Browning M2 Fifty Cal, but with a slightly longer cartridge. The Bullet that you pulled out the little blue rack is what it would have fired (after being filled with lead and shaped a bit, of course). The cases in the Barrel are 7.62x54r, used by that time primarily in the SVD (and variants such as the Romanian PSL) and PK series machine guns such as the PKM and the Vehicle mounted PKT. 7.62x54r is one of, if not THE longest serving military cartridge, being designed by the Russians in the late 1800s (1894 maybe?) and is still being used to this day in just about every corner of the globe. There's some trivia/context, if anyone gave a hoot 👍
Thanks for the explanation Nick ! I'll have to adjust the title. Next time you have to join when we go to an ammunition factory ;) There also supposed to be finished bullets, but we were pretty exhausted and didn't see them on first sight.
I would certainly love to see something like that, for sure. Actually, having just watched your Belarus Exclusion zone video, you've fired one (DSHK)! Even without the live rounds, still an incredible explore. Thanks for taking us along ☺ Keep up the great work my dudes ✌️
Yes, I own a sweet M44 Mosin Nagant in 7.62x54r built in Tula in 1948. Pristne except for the arsenal testing rounds a real safe queen, but that round is total manstopper. I took my friend and his gamer son shooting, and he knew it from call of duty or some shyte, but the first time he pulled the trigger and felt all that recoil, then the lights came on and he finally understood the reality of shooting a rifle in the real world. He had a pretty good sized bruise the next day after shooting that beast. Love those guns from that era and region. I had a Mitchell's Yugo mauser 8mm that I really regret selling.
In one of the cities on the south Albania, in front of our high school was one of the main entrance of the main underground hospital. In time’s of war the bunkers capacity was 2-3k patients . And that was in the middle of the city, one of the many bunkers that you can still find in the mountains around the town.
That was cool as hell!when I was a kid in the 70s/80s, you could explore the wwii bunkers on sandy hook New Jersey like this. Now they have them all secured off. I wish we had cameras back then
The metal "grating" found in many places here is the scrap produced by the punch presses used to begin the process of case or bullet forming. This scrap re-use is indicative of ammo plants around the world, especially those producing steel cases/jackets.
DShk for sure . Probably used for inspecting loaded rounds to make sure the OAL / over all length is correct and check the neck diameter of the rounds .
My wifes coworker is from Albania. Hes told me many stories about growing up there. Incredible video. Glad you never got caught. Keep up the great work.

You guys should really consider using respirators in locations containing old munitions. In the event of dust kicked up for whatever reason, be it wind gusts, falling debris, you don’t want any of that entering your lungs.
Exploring the Unbeaten Path wear gloves as well and have de-leading wipes. Lead exposure is a massive risk when dealing with ammo, I’m a gunsmith, I know firsthand.
these sites should be evaluated and renovated for use by the local communities. they are well constructed and in some cases would make excellent locations for environmentally responsible light manufacturing centers. underground and out of sight the noise and pollution of normal manufacturing could more easily be controlled to the benefit of local communities.

Guys, the grenade launcher was a actually the barrel of 12.7mm heavy machine gun. The yellow powder was Sulphur which is a component of explosives manufacturing, a lot of the powders/solidifying liquids you were walking through are the individual ingredients to make the russian equivalent of PETN, which is an extremely powerful contact explosive used in the manufacturing of amouered piercing incendiary/explosive rounds, you were actually stood in the room with the finished product that was ready for pouring into the back of the projectile you picked up off the machine, the ones that had a hollow base that you looked in before placing back on the tray. Its very sensitive you guys were very lucky not to initiate it. If you'd dropped anything on it of any weight (a torch, debris etc) with all the other decaying explosive components laying about, you'd likely have leveled the place and turned your selves into mist. You were very fortunate. They have guards for a reason, im sure a like on RUclips is not worth causing not only your own deaths, but that of whoever was there that night, and no doubt that of firefighters that would probably died fighting the blaze, plus the destruction of any near by dwellings and there occupants. Avoid these types of factory, if not for your own sake, but for that of the many people who are around them.

Just subscribed. Have watched 5 or so episodes of yours today and really like the personality you bring to your explores. There are a lot of other channels that over-react or over-hype mundane stuff for the camera, one I just watched they stole photo negatives, tried to kick in a door and then preached the urbex creed "take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints" haha, unless you need those precious views! Just THANK YOU for being real and treating your explores with respect!
With so many videos with abandon underground bunkers and gold mines, it's crazy how much "stuff" is left behind and are hidden underground. Maybe not the toxic gold mines but many of these bunkers could be used for several things, just cost to much to renovate. There has to be a good reason us humans want to be on the surface, even though underground would be a lot less energy used. This bunker looks pretty recent and clean compared to most things floating around youtube. Glad too see things not vandalized , I hate seeing places destroyed for no reason.
Thanks. This one is pretty well guarded! Speaking of underground places. I think you’ll like these too. 😌 Amazing underground power station I discovered. ruclips.net/video/K3zOlfQvbTk/видео.html Best underground mine I’ve ever seen ruclips.net/video/nG9K-a0occE/видео.html
When I was stationed in Germany in the eighties we heard about an underground Nazi arms factory that some US military officers were allowed to visit by invitation. It was said that these were still powered up with working bathrooms etc. and all of the machinery was sitting there in perfect condition and was kept clean by a team of caretakers. Why? Well, that was back before the Soviet Union fell and the story was that the Germans wanted to keep the capacity to manufacture weapons available to them in the event a new war with Russia kicked off. Don't know if it's true. I did meet an innkeeper in Bavaria though, who, impressed with my German, invited me to see a secret arms collection he had in a huge hidden room beneath his inn. He had about 1,000 square feet of basement space full of German, Russian, British, and US war paraphernalia. He had every type of weapon used by soldiers during the twentieth century right up to an anti-aircraft machine gun that was huge. He even had a perfectly preserved Willys jeep hidden in a room beneath the barn. He was powering it with a Mercedes engine because he didn't want to wear out the original Jeep motor.
An amazing place, there are very few of them left in such preservation and such an atmosphere. From such a place it would be good to make a museum of the Cold War.
This is freaking amazing guys i am a huge historian geek especially of stuff like this. Its disturbingly wonderous 😍 thank you very much for the content guys keep at it
Uzina e Poliçanit, Skrapar..... this place used to run 24 hrs. all kind of bullets, granades, mines, all caliber of mortar rockets. TNT some AK47 and accessories. Ps. It’s not a grande launcher,,, it’s the barrel of a 12.7mm machine gun.... Rambo 3 scene 😀

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Hey! Greetings from America. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I've been following you for awhile now, and I must say that you do some of the best exploration vids out there. Your experience and subject knowledge is bar none. Your video quality is excellent. You're videos aren't bogged down with ads. You don't sensationalize your videos with click bait titles, or supernatural mumbo jumbo, and your attitude is super endearing. You'll have a viewer for life if you keep this up😉
And to think that like this ammo storage may be hundreds in Albania bro..i remember when we was little kids hanging out and playing in places like this while people shooting in air just for funn and some to kill somebody..insane memories bro...i remember one time my big brother coming home with some granades sks ak and some other guns .. guns that today as we talk some people still have them in their houses..
The room with the DsHK barrel is used for loading of 12.7mm projectiles with incendiary, tracer or explosive compounds. There is a blast wall between stations to protect the operators
Those look like barrels in that room with the desk that haven't been turned down yet like they are just barrel stock which is really cool and those are probably worth a lot of money because they are usually very high quality steel
@@DudeInWalmart no way, things were built 100× better back then.

@@nicke1903 to be fair it all depends on how much time and money you want to invest in it, and the conditions of the machine. It's hard to tell from the video. Also I have see my fair share of crappy stuff made a 100 years back. Not everything is made with quality in mind.
These machines look to be in better shape than most of the used ones I see at auctions. Tons of cash sitting there. Most of these don't even have rust on them. Not even the uncoated surfaces.
If only the walls could talk about the going ons there. This is the best video I’ve seen that is preserved. Absolutely amazing. Can I please recommend IKS exploration RUclips channel. They explore abandoned WW2 sites around the south of England, especially Dover in Kent. It’s worth checking their RUclips channel out.
Nice ! Keep an eye on this channel too. A fallout shelter is coming up and also a very secret and untouched bunker in pristine condition (nobody explored it before)
It’s funny for me to see these abandoned machines in places like this.. We had very similar machines in my high school metal shop that are still used! Lol
Yeah, often we get in trouble... there's a video on my channel where you can see how I got charged for espionage in an old Italian bunker and risked 5 years in jail.
15:41…… WOW! That is so cool! Just that pile alone, you could sell those! Just a box of 20 pieces of 50 caliber projectiles alone to reload now a days is almost $50 for just 20 pieces…. Man, I would be raiding that place on the regular 😂 SOO cool to see these places. And the little block that held the copper jacket parts to be able to fill the cavity with the lead….. very neat to see!

Bob, you are the man for finding the wildest crap and most of the time the locations are spray paint free, extra fucking cool!
Thanks! Most of the time we fail, but the ones which work out make it worth it.
Dushka 12,7mm barrel. The muzzle break is
unmistakable. Being in service since 1938, is an icon like the AK.

Lot of these machines look like they'll start back up ! That's how well preserved they are .
Well made machines
alright i saw the notification and i thought you were kidding, that is an incredible find, and id really have to fight myself to not take it home and restore it.
The scale of that bunker not including wring and machinery. Cant help get the feeling that previous wars are WELL planned in advance.
Those "empty shells" you were playing with were primed.
You got some media attention mates! Found this vid at AD/HLN News. Thumbs up!
That is, your videos are amazing!!! I am surprised that you have only 177.000 members...
Spread the word :)
Wow that was a whole professional firearms manufacturing plant. That's probably where my sks came from. That's absolutely incredible.
This is my country I'm from albania wow🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Can I get a heart you ...made that bunker look scary AF (Nuk eshte aq e frikshme)that's Albanian😆
Shqiptar hesapi a tqi skemi frik nga bunkeret e enverit po kta e bjn tragjedi

Just subscribed. Have watched 5 or so episodes of yours today and really like the personality you bring to your explores. There are a lot of other channels that over-react or over-hype mundane stuff for the camera, one I just watched they stole photo negatives, tried to kick in a door and then preached the urbex creed "take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints" haha, unless you need those precious views! Just THANK YOU for being real and treating your explores with respect!
That's definitely a DShK heavy mg barrel
With so many videos with abandon underground bunkers and gold mines, it's crazy how much "stuff" is left behind and are hidden underground. Maybe not the toxic gold mines but many of these bunkers could be used for several things, just cost to much to renovate.
There has to be a good reason us humans want to be on the surface, even though underground would be a lot less energy used.
This bunker looks pretty recent and clean compared to most things floating around youtube.
Glad too see things not vandalized , I hate seeing places destroyed for no reason.
Thanks. This one is pretty well guarded! Speaking of underground places. I think you’ll like these too. 😌
Amazing underground power station I discovered.

Best underground mine I’ve ever seen
ruclips.net/video/nG9K-a0occE/видео.html
die ouwe sovjet rommel is toch echt geweldig.
So old as you're mom.
No greanade launcher, its a barrel for DSHK 12.7mm, since you found the bullets their .50 cal, and you also found the 7.62x54, great find!
Smart to keep your voice down cause even sound waves can and would mess with an unstable blasting cap and level the whole complex
You guys are nuts be carful with all the explosives
Perfect zombie film location ..... really interesting .
Wow! What a crazy place. A whise decision you did not take the first entrance. Great vid 👍
Now I know where they still find that stuff for ebay.
Ow I’m sure people make a living out of that😂
Anyone else loving the back ground sound effects like we are playing the game Resident Evil.
When I was stationed in Germany in the eighties we heard about an underground Nazi arms factory that some US military officers were allowed to visit by invitation. It was said that these were still powered up with working bathrooms etc. and all of the machinery was sitting there in perfect condition and was kept clean by a team of caretakers. Why? Well, that was back before the Soviet Union fell and the story was that the Germans wanted to keep the capacity to manufacture weapons available to them in the event a new war with Russia kicked off. Don't know if it's true. I did meet an innkeeper in Bavaria though, who, impressed with my German, invited me to see a secret arms collection he had in a huge hidden room beneath his inn. He had about 1,000 square feet of basement space full of German, Russian, British, and US war paraphernalia. He had every type of weapon used by soldiers during the twentieth century right up to an anti-aircraft machine gun that was huge. He even had a perfectly preserved Willys jeep hidden in a room beneath the barn. He was powering it with a Mercedes engine because he didn't want to wear out the original Jeep motor.
Great story/info sir!
An amazing place, there are very few of them left in such preservation and such an atmosphere. From such a place it would be good to make a museum of the Cold War.
Yes, hopefully it will one day!
in albania every place is like this because pepool dont have intrest in such things
This is freaking amazing guys i am a huge historian geek especially of stuff like this. Its disturbingly wonderous 😍 thank you very much for the content guys keep at it
Thanks for watching ! Saw some of the other military objects?
Uzina e Poliçanit, Skrapar..... this place used to run 24 hrs. all kind of bullets, granades, mines, all caliber of mortar rockets. TNT some AK47 and accessories.
Ps. It’s not a grande launcher,,, it’s the barrel of a 12.7mm machine gun.... Rambo 3 scene 😀
Nskrapar esht kjo vidjo ???
That opening shot of Albanian mountains with the sprawling city below ... Just wow!
What a stunningly beautiful country.
If anyone knows what specific region this is, that would be awesome?
We’re landing at Tirana airport :)

Hey! Greetings from America.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I've been following you for awhile now, and I must say that you do some of the best exploration vids out there.
Your experience and subject knowledge is bar none.
Your video quality is excellent.
You're videos aren't bogged down with ads.
You don't sensationalize your videos with click bait titles, or supernatural mumbo jumbo, and your attitude is super endearing.
You'll have a viewer for life if you keep this up😉
This is probably in Polican, Skrapar region.
This is Poliçan , Scrapar County,
i do
And to think that like this ammo storage may be hundreds in Albania bro..i remember when we was little kids hanging out and playing in places like this while people shooting in air just for funn and some to kill somebody..insane memories bro...i remember one time my big brother coming home with some granades sks ak and some other guns .. guns that today as we talk some people still have them in their houses..
Amazing location guys, must be the best bunker so far!
It is ! Some other cool ones coming up :)
I'm digging the Erie music great video!
Thanks! You should check out our latest video.. we found another time capsule workshop/bunker/ powerstation
We have 24 Big Bunkers like that in Albania 😉
Send me the address only to explore. I love this thinks
Si pak thua 24 🤣🤣
Good job. Really great find.
Thanks for showing, so I don't have to. Be careful though: this ain't the country where you want to be caught for spying in a weapons factory...
The room with the DsHK barrel is used for loading of 12.7mm projectiles with incendiary, tracer or explosive compounds. There is a blast wall between stations to protect the operators
Well protect the rest of the operators from the other operators error.
Sick!
Thanks ! Heb nog wel meer militaire dingen op de lijst staan :)
1st time viewer...Love your channel...very interesting! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Amazing exploration and story of history!! So glad you guys filmed it and shared it with us! Ga zo door =D
Bedankt voor het kijken ! :)
Definetely it's a location that I would like to see from up close! Great work guys! 👊
Feels like something straight outta Half-Life 2.
13:58 those machines are in good condition I wish I had a couple of those medal fab machine s
Hoxha really loved bunkers.
He was bunkers
As Albanian i can't Say many things but, this Is Just a small part of military secret Activity in our country
Very Original! Exploring some strange and wonderful places! Thanks guys!
Awesome location, you nailed it.
I wonder if we have anything in Australia you could explore?
Cheers
Ben Murphy yeah. Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Pine Gap lol
Lithgow small arms factory. Still in operation, but i wouldn't be surprised they have the same set up.
Those look like barrels in that room with the desk that haven't been turned down yet like they are just barrel stock which is really cool and those are probably worth a lot of money because they are usually very high quality steel
Watching you go through this place reminds me of old Brixmis teams.
Wow! This place is MASSIVE! Awesome video dudes.
wow, thats quite a munitions factory..
Very cool. At 13:24 those green squareish cans in some of the shelves are ammo cans, what the ammo would be packed and sealed in. AKA sardine cans
I can't believe all those lathes and machinery are just sitting there . They must be worth something .
Guess they will still do something with in the future!
It's garbage if they are rusty. The machine will not be accurate unless you put time in to rebuild it. Good luck finding parts for it.
@@DudeInWalmart no way, things were built 100× better back then. Those tools arent overly rusty, the second I seen you say "Forget buying Parts" I knew you wasn't too informed, you make parts alot of times....I mean, wyd? A Cincinnati Shaper is Old Crow, but can still cut with the best of em. Those Machines aren't junk, maybe some are but they'll clean up nice, even new stuff has to be brought true every so often.
@@nicke1903 to be fair it all depends on how much time and money you want to invest in it, and the conditions of the machine. It's hard to tell from the video. Also I have see my fair share of crappy stuff made a 100 years back. Not everything is made with quality in mind.
These machines look to be in better shape than most of the used ones I see at auctions. Tons of cash sitting there. Most of these don't even have rust on them. Not even the uncoated surfaces.
If only the walls could talk about the going ons there. This is the best video I’ve seen that is preserved. Absolutely amazing.
Can I please recommend IKS exploration RUclips channel. They explore abandoned WW2 sites around the south of England, especially Dover in Kent. It’s worth checking their RUclips channel out.
Nice ! Keep an eye on this channel too. A fallout shelter is coming up and also a very secret and untouched bunker in pristine condition (nobody explored it before)
It’s funny for me to see these abandoned machines in places like this.. We had very similar machines in my high school metal shop that are still used! Lol
Epic adventure! The risk you guys take.👍❤
Yeah, often we get in trouble... there's a video on my channel where you can see how I got charged for espionage in an old Italian bunker and risked 5 years in jail.
Wow that looks like a beautiful country.. I hope I get to see it one day... very cool vid.
That's where you want to be during a zombie apocalypse so you can make your own ammo lol.
Wouldn't take much to get those Machines working again .
15:41…… WOW! That is so cool! Just that pile alone, you could sell those! Just a box of 20 pieces of 50 caliber projectiles alone to reload now a days is almost $50 for just 20 pieces…. Man, I would be raiding that place on the regular 😂 SOO cool to see these places. And the little block that held the copper jacket parts to be able to fill the cavity with the lead….. very neat to see!
This is perfect adventure and amazing and dangerous .ı wish ı could see this like abandoned places ,bunker etc.we discovery with you , thank you .
lighting a firework there and running away would be daora but it wouldn't come out vi
