      I thought he was military. But the law enforcement background makes sense. Some departments teach gun shot triage. they actually have these expanding foam kits called a Xstat that looks like a huge tampon filled with tiny pills that when inserted into a gun shot wound will expand and close off bleeding and absorb up to a pint of fluid.

I don't watch a lot of your videos (not for any particular reason) but I am extremely happy you are here still and get to see and hold your kids another day. Again I haven't been a long time fan, but thank you for fighting through and being who you are.

      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

      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?

    Hey Scott! You are not going to believe what happened to me yesterday. My dog Timo lost a nail just because he refuses to have them trimmed. The bleeding was so bad I thought he will bleed to death. Then your "Just put a Thumb in it" advice came to my mind and I did hold it for over an hour. When nothing seemed to worked before. That was what did it! Thanks for your incredible good spirit and please let me know if i still can get one of those T shirts from you! I will proudly wear one myself. ❤

      Hi Sheldon, if I'm not mistaken most smokeless powders, including the modern ones are made of nitrocellulose. The so-called double base contain some amount of nitroglycerin as well. It turns out that the old powders were perhaps not so stabilized as the modern ones, so the older they get, more byproducts are formed which tend to degrade their performance. Not sure if that can (partially) explain what happened in Scott's case though.

    • @abuhajaar2533
      @abuhajaar2533 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I don't see how instability will lead to this. This was caused by excess chamber pressure that broke whatever the weak points were. Whether that was a manufacturing defect in the gun or the shell powder load, who knows. But instability of the shell powder doesn't make it more explosive, it would just cause it to explode unintentionally.

    I'm still baffled about a man just stuck his thumb inside his own neck to survive and stayed conscious the whole time.
    His face smashed, his neck severed, his lung punctured and he's got a thumb in his neck but still stayed conscious.
    This makes me give you more respect man...

      You'd be surprised just how far you can force your own body. It's common knowledge for doctors that it is possible to avoid passing out with enough mental stimulus or just really not wanting to pass out. For him it was thinking of his family and recalling memories that helped along with having to hold a conversation with the 911 operator.
      I've been able to avoid passing out in a similar way myself, although, in my case, my low blood pressure wasn't caused by a injury or loss of blood. So passing out would have been safer than staying conscious (aka: my life was not at risk)
      His story teaches some really good advice for medical emergencies: to block any holes in your body that are bleeding by any means possible, and to keep talking and having a conversation if you or someone else is at risk of passing out.

      That's what saved his life, the pressures from the thumb allowed for coagulation, so that blood can continue to circulate throughout his body. If it had been his carotid which is next jugular I'm not so sure he would've survived.

    Scott, I was introduced to your channel a few months back via this video. At that time my reaction was around the lines of "holy Molly this guy is tough" with my jaw dropped for most of the video.
    Fast forward a few months, I have watched most of your videos and thought I would give this one a shot again to gain a better insight on your freak accident. This time I was choked up for most of the video, as it hit me harder that we almost lost a gem, a genuinely nice guy who is entertaining as heck, with great values. Man, I just want to say that we love you and we are grateful to still have you around to make us laugh. Take good care, big guy!

      With that pressure, I wonder if this was a sabotaged round given the unknown origins... Several Govs have seeded conflict zones with rounds intended to destroy the gun and incrementally disarm a scavenging force. Of course those typically were not 50 cal rounds..... just a thought since it’s hard to believe a normal round could fail so spectacularly.

    Just wanted to say how much better the world is with you in it, good sir: and I'm thankful that not only did you survive but you thrived moving forward. Personally I would have been petrified to pick up another firearm & I'm a lifelong gun / safety enthusiast. God bless you, man!
