Is the right hand feed really vandalised, or is it just for illustration for this video? The right hand one also seems to have a security keyway locking it, whereas the left hand one just seems to spin off (am surprised the brass cap hasn't been stolen) - why the difference?

This is for illustration purposes and to show a variety of what might be encountered. Good eye!

the cap on the right is a tamper resistant type you can only remove it if you have a special key!
