Hey everybody! I am doing great and I'm going to make a full recovery! God is good! Thank you for your support! Kentucky Ballistics is still going to keep rolling! I appreciate every single one of you!
This is the result of recklessness🚶♂️
Nice
Great
Dude are you good?
F
Glad you’re still here brother!!!!!!!!
Demo I love you
No homo sir
Dr demo wassup
Mannn please be safe Matt. Sketchy
It's great to see you here Demo sir, I'm a huge fan and I love your content!
It’s grim hey Matt but he’s hard as nails
50 cal blows up on anyone else - dies.
50 cal blows up on Scott - sticks thumb in it and makes a video.
Glad you survived bud!!!!
👊👊👊
Toughest guy i know of!
@@Tactical_Arborist_1776 no joke man.
Hahaha I legit laughed out loud. He definitely gets the ultimate man award.
@@TopShotDustin i think I'd be weighing the rest of my slap rounds for a double charge if I were Scott. Only way I can think of to check for a hot load
What about WistlinDiesel?
I know it’s late and it’s been two years but your dad is a savior
Fr
Agreed
Yessir!
Yea
Nahh His Injuries are still there so we can look at the Health Improvements
bro used up all his life's luck, when the doctor told him "you're lucky to be alive", he MEANT IT.
Grow up mate.
@@deathwish6993 youre the one that should grow up
@@deathwish6993 I don't understand what's wrong with the comment
@@deathwish6993What drugs are you on? There is literally nothing wrong with this comment.
Oh what a lucky man he was.
You’re a beast bro
Truth
Its the big man with the stache.
On no, Daddy Donut is here
Hi
No
I learnt 3 things from this video:
1. Scott is bald
2. Scott is an ex-cop
3. Scott is one tough SOB
Yes
4. He’s a father
5. New merch
He's lucky he's a dad.dads don't break!
Without cops to enforce them, every anti-gun law ever written by polticans would be nothing more than a mere harmless suggestion. Thanks for the heads up so I can unsubscribe. I don't even give those blue costume wearing gun grabbers the time of day, let alone watch their videos.
i come back to this video every now and then when he mentions it, and the one thing that terrifies me is how INSTANT it was. in one frame the muzzle flash is still going off, hats gone, glasses gone, and guns already blown apart. so glad your ok after 3 years
it's really hard to watch honestly, but it's a good lesson in gun safety. Don't use sus bullets
Man that last shot was very difficult to watch knowing what is about to happen 😢 I'm so glad you were strong enough to make it to the hospital and also having basic knowledge about how to handle accident ❤
"so i survived a 50 cal"
"you survived a 50 cal shot? how?"
"Not a shot ,but the Gun"
Now that... thats a badass story to tell.
Yay
@@drippy_ash8556 "well someone tried to assassinate me by sabotaging my 50 Cal. As you can tell they failed."
"You got shot in the face?!?!"
In a way...
The 500 is next.
This man sliced his jugular and just stuck his thumb in it like “nah, don’t really feel like dying today”. Truly remarkable he’s alive
Good thing he had training
@@eric3e623 hmm i need training of this nature. what would it be specified as?
@@Eighty30s there isn't any. that is just a dumb comment from a nobody on the internet.
@@kingjoe3rd oh i know i was being sarcastic lmao
@@kingjoe3rd Dude idk what your problem is but i think he was taking about how he use to be an officer, and he was trained to deal with something of that nature really fast he knew to stop the bleeding and apply pressure immediately. I may be wrong but i dont see why you gotta call a random person you dont know a nobody.
The fact that you survived this is just incredible. Love your videos and I am so glad you are still on the right side of the dirt.
Exactly three years ago already, im glad you are still going strong!
Geez. Very happy to hear you're alright Scott. Just put a thumb in it!
He did lol🤣
Love your content Drewski
Alright drew hahaha
Only three comments?
You know my wife says the same thing....
That's terrifying, man. Holy crap, I'm glad you're doing alright.
Love your vids
Didn’t expect you here, the support from other youtubers is crazy
Horrible, absolutely horrible, glad too see you came out of this accident with such trauma. I would also point out for others with similar rifles, to use extra caution, with a threaded chamber lock, if you would experience in case of catastrophic failure, overpressure, the cap threads will shear off and come back to the shooter, obviously is not a good thing/design, now i would imagen every .50 caliber rifle would fail somehow with this kind of pressure, but a standard bolt action rifle would be somewhat safer, were the barrel most likely would rupture or blow and the bolt would stay in place and not come back as most heavy caliber bolt lugs can handle 100k psi without shearing the lugs. On this rifle the cap should definitely not be the weakspot here, it should have been the strongest part on the weapon system. Ones against im glad u came out of this one with your life in behold 🙏🙏Amen
@@ragnarok5056 that's the thing under normal loads the gun is totally safe this was obviously a freak accident and 80k psi is the breaking point of those threads the way they stripped off and how much damage it did to him it had to of been upwards of 100k psi
Also i should point out that any gun subjected to a similar event will explode in what ever way it will but yes generally thru the weakest point of the gun as for the barrel exploding that can happen but generally only if the barrel is obstructed my dads a gun smith and has seen damn near everything and let me tell you a bolt might take more than a set of threads but you still don't want to be anywhere near a gun that explodes ive seen personally the top of the chamber that came off of a bolt action and hit a guy in the head not to mention the other parts that went flying basically the guy needed a new arm. its like holding an exploding grenade next to your face now obviously this was not a 50 cal which is what saved that individuals life as the higher the pressures involved the farther and more deadly the shrapnel is its physics
@@ferrofeles2063 i would almost go as far as call this a safety design flaw for this particular rifle, also on a bolt action you have pressure relief exit hole in the locking chamber, wich will help to some extent, and therefore blow the barrel instead of the action it self, but yes i would belive any .50 rifle would suffer a catastrophic failure for such a hot load, but in a "somewhat" safer manner if we can call it that?
I had to come back to this video to appreciate how fortunate you were and be thankful. You are an incredibly humble and talented man, and seeing how well you are doing years from this accident gives me the biggest smile knowing how resilient you are and how much safety you take for your family and friends since then.
We all love you Scott, and we’re grateful to you for the entertainment and personality you share with the world ❤
Just found your channel after getting into gun content again since I'm currently waiting for my first gun to arrive at my lgs, and I've been doing a lot of research to be safe. I watched a bit of your squib load video and read the comments and somebody said something about how fast you healed. I thought the scar was a really old injury so when I read that I had to see what happened. If there was ever someone to be called a legend, madlad, That Guy, or simply "Him", it would be you. Thats a crazy situation, and the fact you held it together, thought of your kids to hold on, and then laugh the whole thing off really speaks to your character.
You know what man, really horrible situation but so relived to see you back on camera. Tough SOB...
at leas he survived, glad to see him :'(
Yes lets all pray we didnt lose a great peer on youtube
Get well soon Scott!
For real. Dudes a beast. Props to you brother.
We thought us Texas boys are tough. Kentucky don’t play either
your are 100% right
Thank God you’re alive man.
So... technically he got shot with a 50Cal at point-blank range?
Thank dumb luck hes alive.
Would've been nice if he prevented the gun from exploding...
докторам тоже
@@antonchigurh9952 not so sure Scott himself would agree with you
Big ups to your dad being on the ball. Glad your still here bro
When I heard about this accident after it happened, I watched this video and I was shook up then. Three years later... I believe I can finally say something. As a fellow content creator and a father of 6 beautiful children I'm glad you are alive and well and thank God for your dad. Love you.
Glad to still have you around man, .50 BMG is no freaking joke. Get well soon brother ❤️
Couldn’t agree with Brandon more

Seems like you came up with _something_ to say 👌
Yea you should actually grow a new one for scott

you are a real hero. i am watching this video after 2 years later but you are still working for our entertainment this thing motivates me and a grand salute to your father who saved your life .your father is a real life hero .............🙌
Man, you took it hard... what a crazy turn of events! Your guardian angel had to call a friend to help carry you through that debacle. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. 👍

Thank God, this could have been so much worse...
Certainly insane...
Omg im glad he is ok
THANK YOU LORD
God must have been with you thru this recovery, I'm glad you ok buddy,thanks God for that
I'm so pleased you got through this. You are such a good, decent guy with such good cheer.

Thankfully his dad was there tho
@@SC_2QUICK if you believe in God you’re crazy
@@kjkj4628 well at least he believes that there is a god

Aaaand EGGPLANTS
And 30 gallons of chocolate pudding, haha!
Hahahahaha
Not to mention the cheese sauce!
"You know who's cheese this is? Not-yo-cheez!" BAM!
Scott, that was one horrific event! I'm very happy to see you discuss it, and also very happy you had the knowledge and composure to mitigate your worst injury. I hope and expect you're still doing well!
I’m so sorry this happened to you
I have been wounded several times in the military
Thank god you were able to keep a cool head and fight through to survival
Keep the videos coming
Your great!
I don't even know who this guy is but im so happy he survived this. That was scary af.
I came to watch a 50 cal explode, but for some reason I watched the whole thing....
@@TheQuackBoss me too bro
I don’t know who this is either. But I do know one thing. I would probably be dead if this happened to me. And man is he lucky he survived, good for him.
I imagine the pain meds help a little ^^
factsss
I can't be the only one watching this while holding my own neck?
God bless you bro. Glad dad saved your life.
I am now!
Same
Wtf
Naw im on the john
I’m doing the same thing.
Y'all just popped up randomly on my feed. Listened to the whole video. Fascinating story telling...Glad you're ok and let me be the first to wish you a happy anniversary !
Thank the lord your still here. My respect is through the roof for you. I’m so happy you recovered well!
I will never again underestimate the importance of safety glasses.
Glad u still here with us God is Good 👍
the same reason my father wears safety glasses all the time
Doesn't help much if the gun explodes collapsing your lung...

@@finlandjourney6065 wont stop that but might stop something lodging itself into your skull so better to wear it then to not
Props to dad, first for bringing you into this world, and making sure that you stay here a little longer.
Hopefully a long while longer :)
Why’d you say a little longer lol
@@Xansmist because he wont live forever???
@@pblx1321 bro didn’t mean that long 😂
Absolute fuckin' hero.
Wow I can't believe it's 2 years already but thank God everything was okay. You are a fighter and a survivor Scott!
Your dad is the best I've ever seen. You're very lucky to have him, and he is very lucky to have you. cherish each other while you can, and always remember how far he's gone for you.
Wisconsin sends all its love to you.
This is probably the best advertisement for safety glasses I've ever seen.
As SOON as I saw that eyepro go flying I thought "Man. Good thing he was wearing those glasses." They saved his eyes for sure.
Does anyone know the brand of protection glasses he was using?
Safety mask and safety gear maybe?
Motorcycle helmet.
That's an rather good ad to not use guns. No wonder Brazil didn't legalized guns-
I understand that it was 2 years ago, but I glad you survived. Your dad is a real hero.
Popularity:
#1 “My 50cal Filleted My Neck”
#2 “Stretch Armstrong”
Well there ARE some similarities in the damage they can take, just sayin’…
He's a pig tho
He lost all his hair from one malfunction!

Dad just doing his job
Thanks for all that you do and glad you are still with us!
found this video after a Doctor on here that I watch, reacted to your this video. Its CRAZY that youre still alive and not only that but the way that you dealt with this is, remarkable. I know this video was from 2 years ago but I hope that the rest of your recovery went well
Your dad was the most epic battle buddy you could ask for.
🙏 shout out to badass dads.
Seriously, thank God for dad and opposable thumbs!
100% agree. Dads are heroes and Scott is blessed to have him.
Your dad is awesome
And you are a lucky man
yep his dad 100% saved his life, 0% god unfortunately. this isnt me throwing shade or anything, like the videos he makes but i just took slight issue with "god saved me".
man takes a 85,000PSI solid steel punch to the face, a broken finger, a collapsed lung, and a lacerated jugular and gets out of the hospital in a week. Insane. You're about as tough as they come.
Makes me want to stick to 22 rounds now
@@fenderstrat6519 Makes me want to keep a social distance from guns
@@Real_Mick3y6 makes me want to buy a .50 cal now that everyone’s going to panic sell em
It also shows the progress made in modern medicine…
on second review, mark figures the pressure needed to strip off the cap is in the realm of 130,000psi, not a "mere" 85,000.
Wow! Brother, I am just getting to see your videos and your joyous personality. I feel bad that this happened. I appreciate what you do. From one police officer to another, be safe out there.
Glad you are still with us and your family. Simply amazing
Your dad is a friggin Super Hero. Man saved your life and got you moving in under a minute.
For a second I thought u said “virgin” I would come to your house myself with a shank, but u did not hehe
@@worstje3373 stfu peon
Not all heroes wear capes.
Dad of the year award goes to his dad. What a badass
👏🏽
I guess at the very least you get some kickass scars out of it. All things aside it's good to see you're still with us brother.
Most impressive of all is your ATTITUDE. Amazing.
6 minutes in and this is the greatest PSA ever made for wearing eye protection.
Do they sell neck, arm and ear protection?
Honestly if it wasn’t for those glasses he without a question would’ve AT LEAST lost an eye if not half of his skull
Those safety glasses saved your eye, brother. Get well soon.
you would not think that they mattered at that scale and you'd be wrong
always use personal protective equipment!
Yea, hit everywhere else tho, lol. Jk love this guy.
might have saved his life too just because eyepro spread out and deflected the impact much like steel plate in carrier would
Wow!!! This is the first I've seen this. God was definitely looking out for you!! Big props to your dad for staying calm and getting you the ambo so quickly!! Glad to see you're doing much better!!
Praying for quick recovery and thanking God you are here man.
Imagine being very cut up, broken hand, explaining how you almost lost your life, and still manage to end the video shooting a gun
That's a trooper right there!!
@The Black House not shoot a gun when u just almost died from a gun.
@@Luke_17 the sum of the story is don't buy sketchy ammo
What an absolutely insane story, I'm very glad you made it out to tell the tale.
Hey
Lmao look who it is
Never thought i'll find one of my youtubers commenting on a video, this guy is amazing!!!
Hey Freddy ✋🏼
Was not expecting to see you here
Love ya buddy! Glad you just past your 3-year accident anniversary, and i wish you all the success this year man you deserve it !
Lived in Kentucky for 35 years now, i appreciate what you do for our state and a good genuine dude
Man, safety glasses are really worth the $5 they cost.
Dude ballistic-rated safety glasses are like cockroaches. They will survive the end of the world.
Or you could buy a pair of lead spectacles
You might not be able to see well but fantastic protection!
Anyone know if all Oakleys are eye pro or ballistic pro?
at my dad's work he gets them free so we have so many pairs
This dude should contact the manufacturer and offer up his story as an advertisement!
The medical team that fixed you up are undoubtedly top notch professionals.
I go to vandy for psychiatric treatment, they're some of the best people in their craft. Nashville really has a great health care team at their disposal
That's what years of college do to people XD
Well said sir, no mitological entity saved him! I take my Stetson out for those doctors!!
Nice try Cody, we know its you 😏😂
@no no One thing does not exclude the other, my friend.
So glad that you are ok. New to the channel just saw this video. Just happy to see you explaining what happened and not someone else explaining it.
So glad you’re okay in the end. Very scary situation and you were so lucky that day to have such amazing people and a great response time
It’s so heart warming that his dad saved his life, the man who never speaks but is always there.
I cried a bit right there when he shows that it's his dad behind the camera.
I mean *technically*, Scott can say he was shot in the neck with a .50 cal and survived. That’s pretty badass
No one survives being shot in the neck by a 50 cal! He was hit by shrapnel from a exploding 50 cal.
He wasnt shot with a 50 cal he was shot by a 50 cal 😂
@@user-xe5eq9br1c by a .50 cal, with parts of a .50 cal. seems legit.
@@WW5RM Don't think you quite got that.
i like the joke, but realistically would that just blow your head and your neck clean off? i dont know, in movies and games it just explodes limbs..
Survival instincts 10/10 , to keep your calm in that situation , outstanding. Thanks for telling us your story!
Hard to imagine to which it was scarier when it happened, you or your dad.
Happy to see that you survived situation that serious.
This guy probably saved his own life by being so calm and thinking fast.
Actually, his dad saved his life by being there.
His thumb is a legend
@@terrenceklaverweide6356 Both statements are true: if either one had panicked (which would have been perfectly understandable under the circumstances) Scott probably wouldn't be here today.

Kinda fucked yo but yeah... same
like #400

Hi Josh, I know its been quite a few years. But this compelled me to let you know that it's a miracle you are standing with us. I hope you find your body recovered and your scars healed. I hope you have freedom from the pain and the suffering.
It’s an Absolute Miracle you’re Alive!! Cherish everyday and Make Sure You Find your Path, You’re still here for a reason 🙏🏻
Them safety glasses really kept you from going blind
Kept him from going dead, too. I reckon that bit would've gone and cracked his skull. Maybe gone all the way through, if he was particularly unlucky. Thats why you wear your eyes, always.
At 3:15 when he is locking gun, something FLY foward and bouncing from table. What was that? Some yellow metal
@@simonci5177 a butterfly lol you can see it fly a bit earlier
@@simonci5177 I think a butterfly.
He did go blind tho...
shattered the bones around your eye, split your finger apart, sliced your jugular, punctured your right lung, broke your nose and you still walked away, living legend right here. glad you're safe brother
He earned a sub for surviving.
thats not sound like safe guy :p
@@JTKK9 He safe now.
Amazing story and video. Thank you Scott and wishing you a speedy recovery. “ UNBELIEVABLE”
Glad you're doing well im sorry that happened to you. I couldn't imagine my heart goes out to you and you're family
Fair play to your dad for staying cool under pressure, there’s nothing worse than seeing your children get hurt
Yeah FOR REAL, FOR REAL
I agree what a guy his dad is to stay collected during that I couldn’t imagine how I would act if it was one of my kids I hope I would act the same and do everything you could
Respect to your Pops!
Scott took a 50 bmg exploding in his face and survived, and posted a new vid a couple weeks later, talk about a badass
And might I add, did it while still following all the safety precautions, not like certain youtubers.
I hope you got well soon from that accident. God bless you Scott!
I'm glad you made it through this! You're one tough dude and I'm glad made it through it!
His eye socket bone was broken, but his eye is still with him. This is why you always wear eye-protection.
Meh, I don't know if those plastic glasses protected him from this heavy metal bit going for his eye at a freaky speed. Maybe it helped but he alos had a hack of a luck.
@@twoheartsoff3255 Ballistic glasses are also curved to help deflect shrapnel. Plastic compounds have just enough flexibility to not shatter, and enough rigidity to deflect and not crumple. But certainly he had a hell of a lot of luck.

I will never laugh at Matt again for hiding behind his truck when he's unsure to fire a gun
So true...
I shall laugh at you as you didn't know what the phrase 'safety comes first' mean
Yeah, guns ain't a toy, you're basically holding an explosion in your hands and hoping that that explosion doesn't make too big a boom and turn your gun into a grenade.
But that's how it goes for pretty much all projectile weapons, even bows and arrows can truly mess you up. Imagine a wood/alluminum rod, shearing off under a hundred pounds of pressure and ramming through your arm like it isn't even there.
@@ComotoseOnAnime lol a bow and arow cannot be compared to a 50 bmg
