Hello
Hi
i love you scott
Make a derringer chambered in 410 and 45long colt go boom
Hello
I feel like you've really hit this stride with this "When Guns Go Boom" series! It's interesting watching your breakdown afterwards. How about a Desert Eagle next, or maybe an AR?
Can you imagine a catastrophic failure of a .50 Deagle!? Awesome, but very hard to do without plugging or obstructing.
I said deagle too. Glad I'm not alone lmao
Or a 500 magnum
The Desert Eagle is an extremely resilient design. My grandpa managed to double charge a few handloads for his Mk VIII .44 Mag Desert Eagle. He managed to fire about three of them through the Desert Eagle before deciding that something wasn't right. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the molten brass on the breech face and realized he had probably over charged some rounds. He dissected the remaining rounds in the magazine and confirmed that he had somehow managed to double charge them with Alliant 2400. He took the pistol to a gunsmith and had molten brass cleaned from the breech face and firing pin channel. The bolt was inspected for fractures, and the firing pin, extractor, and ejector was replaced just to be safe, but other than that, the pistol remained in perfect functioning order. I don't know about the newer aluminum framed models, but the older steel framed model Desert Eagle would take a lot to have a catastrophic failure. One advantage to having 4 pounds of steel in your handgun is that it is pretty durable at that point.
@@fnurbz Ouch! Cylinder explosion would be horrible!
The Glock actually did really well for having a squib load as well as an insanely over pressurized round.
Say what you want about them, but in their refined simplicity the are amazing little shooters.
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven.

The accuracy with that hammer was beyond impressive🤣
The side-by-side comparison of the fresh and broken components really give a good visual guide to see what actually happened. Great stuff!
I recently went to the Glock armorer school and that is designed to happen. Glocks are made to direct the pressure out of the extractor and down towards the magazine. The Glock instructor stated it achieves this by not having a fully supported chamber at the bottom. Love these videos! Keep em coming!
I would love to go to a Glock Armorer school. Had a firearm instructor that went and he highly recommended it.
The safety aspect of this seems like a happy accident. IMO this was a reliability design, so oversized brass will chamber and extract reliably. Why would you want a case separation to cause violent action on slide stops and mag releases? Mag releases and slide stops popping out only cause minor injuries because this is a 9mm.
@@ButtonLicker They designed the path of failure to have the least impact on the shooter. Really cool IMO!
Good to know.
There is a gap between the magazine well and the backstrap, that is there on purpose to vent any overpressure in case of a malfunction. People discovered this the hard way when the first Glocks were still range guns. Being used to steel guns a few target shooters figured they could give them a bit more heft for better control by pouring some lead into that gap. With target shooters often being reloaders it was only a matter of time before they fed a high pressure round into their Glock and discovered why the gap was there in the first place.
... I will admit that I’m not a big glock fan, but I do respect them for what they are... After seeing this Glock shoot such an absurdity over pressured round , completely squibed barrel or not, I am very impressed at the relatively small amount of damage done to the pistol.. I have an even higher respect and regard for Glocks after seeing this...
I have a feeling most semi auto pistol would fare about the same, the fact that the action automatically opens up really helps with over pressures
meh, Glock uses the exact Browning mechanism as all other semi-auto pistols. So with this test, practically all pistols would fair the same.
However, a pistol that uses a direct blowback or a rotating lock bolt should be different.
Most modern pistols are designed to fail this way. The over pressure is directed out the magazine well and easily blows out the extractor. Most Glock and AR15's I've seen detonate never seriously Injured the shooter. It's just scary when the slide fails for some reason and shoots bits of stainless steel at your face, always wear eye protection.
Totally agree as I do my Ruger dance 😂
Glock may not be the best looking guns, but man in my experience they always function. My Glock 43 is my current EDC.
That was impressive just based on the lack of destruction to the Glock. With a barrel blockage and an insanely hot load I thought for sure she was going to go high order. Impressive damage done but more impressive that she held together as well as she did.
This dude reminds me of people who just wont stop at a party. You can hear him in every room. But damn he is lucky to survive that 50 cal failure.
me: can barely afford a gun
scott: TODAY WE’RE BLOWING UP THIS BRAND NEW GLOCK 19
He’ll make more than enough from the video. 😉
Watching him shoot a ton of 100$ a round 700 Nitro must hurt even more then.
I adore this series, and I love how you turned a catastrophe and a near death experience, into something positive and--fun aside--educational. Now when do we get to see some form of shotgun put to the test?!
@mike d Any shotgun will do it! I am not as versed in shotguns as I am rifles/pistols.
I just want to see a shotty explode :D
@@shawnwolf5961 doesn't he do one in a Nitro Express test? Pretty sure he's blown one up.
Wait, here we go: th-cam.com/video/x5VIn9dKVtg/w-d-xo.html
The way he laughs after every shot is so maniacal and enjoyable! Awesome video
That hammer part is what you call "hitting the wrong nail"
Love these videos. A catastrophic failure is very unlikely, but it’s interesting to see what the failure points are on those. Side note: does the T-Rex siphon gas from you to run his chainsaw? You might need a gas lock.
Crazy part is... dinosaurs eventually end up as gas... LOL
I read that wrong, though a "gas glock" would also be interesting lol
@@gonun69 you could do that too.
Tac T-Rex is probably subbed to the Lockpicking Lawyer. Gas locks present no threat to him, I think. Cheeky reptile.
catastrophic failures are highly likely for glocks. hence the phrase glock kaboom. it all has to do with overpressure from hand reloads and some complicating circumstances like a squib load. he's right, he put the squib in the wrong place. had it been near the middle or back of the barrel, with a really hot load, gun would have exploded fingers severed and all
I’m actually extremely impressed by how well the Glock handled a catastrophic failure. I’m not a Glock fan myself, but this has scored it some points for me!
The first catastrophic failure was buying a glock lol. Calm down glock people its just a joke. I'm not a fan of them either but they must be decent because they are loved by many.
Maybe until you see some of the stuff on You Tube where glocks were blowing up from reloads. Something about the poly rifling makes them a little risky with reloads.
@@gunfisher4661 Ah yes, the greatest weakness for the glock... reloading. Super spicy Carolina reaper of bullets? Doesn't *completely* explode, but it do break still with minimal external harm.
My Glock 23 exploded in my hands
I own a Glock 19 and 22 modified barrel spring etc etc no issues or jams whatever’s even with original parts
The entertainment quality is 100% as always, but there is also information and lessons to be learned as well about pressures and what your gun is designed to handle. I think this series comes at a great time because everyone was and is still currently reloading their own ammo, and alot of said people are first timers and there is a great possibility of some really hot rounds being circulated now.
wow. this dude gets almost killed by a gun that explodes and then makes purposefully exploding guns to see what happens into a series. scott radiates total badassery
I love how this man took his life changing experience and turned it into gold not the kind of gold you can buy things with but the kind of gold that enriches us and shows us how to move on
Man, I took my glock to the range and a Trex destroyed it as well, similar to your encounter. It's just the worst. Thank you for bringing light to the current range situation, Scott. Remember to never leave your handguns unattended boys.
That's the story ATF
@@mfreed40k no kidding!
Yes, I too lost my firearms in a strange and inexplicable manner.....
A pretty good advertisement for Glock. That thing really held together well!
Scott: GUN SAFTY! KNIFE SAFTY! HAMMER SAFTY!
Also Scott: *randomly tosses hammer over his shoulder*
Scott, this is JUST LIKE a case failure that I had in my first Gen 3 Glock 22. I was at a range in Oregon about 2005 or 2006, shooting his very hot reloads. He had been reloading for years, and never once had a catastrophic case failure, until I loaded one into my magazine. It blew the extractor and ejector rod and spring out of the gun and into parts unknown, and completely blossomed the case inside the chamber of the barrel. It also blew a small chunk of metal out of the top portion of the slide at the chamber.
Interestingly enough, I also had an injury to my thumb, just like the ballistics dummy, because I flinched when my face got showered with bits of hot shell casing and gun powder, and my thumb nail caught on the slide serrations and ripped it partially off, as well as gave me a nasty cherry on the outside corner of it.
I was okay besides the thumb, but pretty shook up. The gun was completely destroyed. Glock repaired the gun at no cost, and I never shot reloads after that again, and I still don't to this day. I later gave the gun to my buddy as collateral for something, but I can't remember what.....a Ruger P89? Don't remember. But he ended up selling the gun, and I bought another G22 which I still have.
Holy cow! that is a moment to remember! have you had any other catastrophic failures, or has it just been with hot reloads?
@@kyle18934 Never had another one, it was just that one time using a buddy's reloads. I don't reload myself, so I just shoot factory ammo.
I reload too but I will never shoot reloaded ammo that other person did, doesn’t matter if it’s my best friend.
amazing story, what an experience my man! im so glad U ended up ok
thats the thing about reloads! no matter how many times people safely do it, just a single bad round is enough to ruine the day..
@@jonasschmitz506 Amen to that. Same with not touching the reloader without being fully awake, aware, and focused.. Way too easy to wind up in the forever box.
we've needed a series like this for a long time. experimentation is the feedstock of innovation.
i guess it´s pretty expensive when he´s not getting the guns for free
Not only the feedstock of innovation.
Glock is gonna use this video for advertising their guns if they're not exceptionally stupid.
The fact that all the broken parts basically blew forward (away from the shooter) and the expanded case kept the slide from cycling and flying off the rails into the dummy head means that the guns predetermined breaking points did exactly what they were supposed to.
Hats off to our Austrian friends.
@@GermanDudeEU dude probably makes 10k per video. It'll be fine
HELL NO
@@user-iz3gv7th6z i wouldn´t say that, many people use adblock and all the money he makes does definetly not goes only into guns, he has to pay other stuff too
4:00 Wow, i guess 9mm really does blow the lungs out of people's bodies.
I'd be curious to see how a milspec 1911 holds up, seeing how (relatively) well the glock did, I'm curious if the steel frame does better or worse.
How about an M&P 1 or 2.0 but in .40 S&W or .357sig?
As others have mentioned it would be cool to see how a revolver would hold up.
Before you over pressured the revolver you could use a ballistic gel hand to show what would happen if the hand covers the cylinder gap with even a normal load. Mythbusters did it years ago, but they used chicken wings to simulate hands. It would be cool to see you do it now these realistic ballistic hands are available, then finish up by attempting to blow the revolver 👍
Jerry Miculek did this more recently with hot dogs
wow
i would really like to see something like this
Agree 💯
@@alexanderren1097 Indeed he did, I'd forgotten that. Still wanna see KB Scott shred a ballistic hand then try to destroy a revolver though 😃
When I started loading 10mm. I didn't know about the "glock bulge" on casings fired in glocks and I had a failure nearly identical to that in a max load 135 grain 10mm. Same thing. Broke the extractor blew out the mag and mag catch but once I replaced those parts the glock 40 is still 100% functional.
I had the same thing happen to a Taurus G3C. Stung my hand a little, but the gun stayed together minus the extractor.
yeah gotta watch the for the glock grin on that stuff, one of the many reasons I didn't go with a glock for my 10mm. but to each their own and wish you luck and good shooting.
@@vencenickey7109 what's a strong handgun for 10mm?
@@diegohernandez8135 Ruger super redhawk is probably the most overkill firearm chambered in 10mm considering it’s also chambered in .454 Casull which can reach a maximum of 65,000 psi.
@@diegohernandez8135 Curtis there is right about the redhawk. If you're using factory ammo the glock 40 is a good performer by all accounts. If you're a hand loader then most of the quality 1911 platforms do well. Personally I shoot a Kimber campguard that I love. It is a little ammocentric, but since I make my own that was an easy, if slightly tedious fix. But the big thing with it is the case fully seats into the chamber so no odd bulging creating weak spots in the brass.
Scott: no
Tactical trex: I beg to differ
Scott: The bullet should be very hot
also Scitt: *picks up bullet"
lol

3:15 I was expecting him to say you’ve been nommed I would’ve died his laugh sounded just like the meme
I'd like to see if there's any difference between Revolver pistols with a Fluted cylinder vs a non-Fluted cylinder to see if the extra material gives any extra strength against heavy/over-loaded rounds, like from a situation where someone was reloading their bullets and tried to make them a little "extra spicy 🌶" and accidentally went a bit too far! lol!
Scott I am really glad to see you healed up so well. That first explosion was hardcore, Im really glad you suffered no long term ill effects!!
“This is why you cut away from you and not towards you” cuts toward himself😂

Just gonna put it out there, I have always had a soft spot for Glocks ever since BLACK (old FPS game from 2005) . That game still has the best sound design in an FPS and that Glock being racked just brought back all the memories
I loved BLACK! That game was amazing on Xbox. After the first playthrough and unlocking the silver weapons it was even better.
@@freighter1097 definately needs a remaster. Just thinking about it gives me jazzhands...tactical jasshands
@@Whiskeyactual9531 I too am a Black enthusiast.
I would love a remaster
Oh you just reminded me of the times where the game locks you in that room with waves of enemies especially the armored dudes with the shields, and I'm down to a few rounds left in my Spas 12, and loaded Glock. I miss that game dearly.
@@MajorisMons 🥃 to better times
I would love to see this done on the pistols of the U.S. military, 1911, M9, and the new M18
It’s almost hypnotic watching his muscles ripple with every gunshot
Now I'm wondering about how a revolver would hold up, mostly because there are so few moving parts, plus I'm wondering how much of the over-pressure your cylinder gap will release. Really neat that the Glock didn't totally explode, even with such extreme circumstances, I sort of expected it to just eject the slide backwards and shear away the locking portion.
Revolvers don’t jam till they do then they really jam but it’s unlikely you can in normal use jam one unless you subject it to tests like this
I'll see your suggestion and raise you one: How about running this test on a Colt open-top revolver? Think of the 1851 Navy, 1860 Army, the Walker, and/or the Dragoon. I think the open-top design might yield some interesting results!
"mostly because there are so few moving parts"
Most revolvers have far, far more parts than a semi-auto.
@@peaceoutbruh7085 no think about reciprocating slides magazines tilting barrels slide bars etc.
Elmer Keith blew up a single action army while he was trying to get magnum cartridges made
Didn't expect such a small gun to hold up so well against that massive amount of force. A gun I think would be interesting to see on this series would be an M16 or an AR15 because of how common they are. If not one of those two, a 1911 would be interesting for the same reason.
I honestly want to see a Kimber 10mm
@@racinzebra95 ewww kimber everyone loves them but they just feel like a knock Off glock and look like a sad 1911
Because it didn't. As Scott said, the "barrel obstruction" was launched out of the way and the pressure likely never got as high as it could have. Still impressive though.
@@whyareusobad3528 honestly I own one and it looks relatively close to an original 1911 not the 70s or 80s body but I'm meaning the actual WW1 era now the WW2 and Vietnam era 40s-60s series is something I see a lot of floating around in the cheaper brands like RIA (GI models) but I have a affiliation to the 1911-1921 body and the 1927-1936 A1 bodies which I why I chose my Kimber over the other brands
@@racinzebra95 oh my experience with 1911 comes from a family heirloom ww2 1911 other then that just cheap reproductions and stuff
Scott, you are BRILLIANT! Don't change a thing, the comedy, the mess.....OUTSTANDING!
Ngl I love how Scott isn’t sensitive about his .50 incident. Man looked death in the eyes and he just put a thumb in it 😂
I would like to see how does dragons breath shotgun round effect a ballistics dummy? Does the huge fireball add tons of damage or just for show?
Yes!
This is an amazing idea
And more tenderizer rounds as well!
Definitely would like to see that! See if those call of duty shotgun fireballs are really accurate
It obviously does more damage at the right distance cuz it's shooting out burning magnesium shards at 3000+ to 4000 degrees and human flesh completely melts at 162 degrees so you do the math.
The ptsd flash back of the rn50 the fact he jokes about it shows how much of a legend he really is nothing stops this man.
Was the very beginning of that intro a call back to buckwheat from little rascals 😂
Is it just me or are the ballistic torso’s just so satisfying to watch in slow mo and see the realistic body parts/blood get shot???

Love this series. Think we could see a Desert Eagle fail next? Never seen one fail before except failure to eject
It is amazing that the Glock contained and directed most of the energy away from the shooter’s face.
The intro made me almost cry from laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Amazing slowmo. You could see the recoil travel up his arms to his shoulders. Was very neat.
So I may have actually witnessed this in the wild without realizing it. In mid 2020 someone was shooting some questionable quality ammo at my local range and I thought I witnessed an out of battery detonation in a Glock, but now I'm really thinking he had fired a double charged round. Everything in this video occurred in the one I witnessed besides bulging of the barrel. The mag was damaged and rounds spilled out due to the mag being ejected and the feed lips being partially destroyed, the magazine release was gone (couldn't find it), the extractor was blown out and hit the shooter in the face, and he had some minor burns on his hands. His slide didn't have any visible damage that I could see besides the extractor. The grip frame also appeared to hold up fairly well too. That being said, I told him the only thing I'd even think about reusing was the iron sights. I wouldn't trust any of the other parts after what happened. Thankfully the guy was relatively uninjured besides the minor burns on his hands and a small amount of bleeding where the extractor struck his face. Needless to say, the rest of that ammo was disposed of on the spot so it wouldn't get shot by anyone else.
I think the Desert Eagle 50AE would be interesting to test because it looks pretty tough and is still powerful, I wonder which part will break first.
I think you just proved how incredibly strong a glock really is.... amazing.....
That laugh when you shoot Stretch Atm Strong. I probably watched it 30 times. It’s so evil, but innocent lol.
Love you Scott! I love the destruction videos. Keep up the awesome work.
That glock 19 looks as big as a mp9 shield in his hands😂😂 dude is huge😅
13:51 Was working a job with my dad, I was 14, setting forms to pour a small walkway.
I was getting to close to where my old man was swinging his hammer to set the pins. He started to give me a lecture in hammer safety, and the instant he looked away, full swing right in between his thumb and index finger. Asked him if that was a good example of irony. He was so pissed, this brought up one of my favourite memories with him. Thank you for this. Have a wonderful day/night
My dad was holding the fence post steady for me to hit with sledgehammer, he told me " when l nod my head you hit it "
Poor dad never forgave me. 😂
I think that it would be interesting to see how badly you can make a 22 fail. It is one gun that almost everyone has some experience with. It might not be spectacular but it would be relatable.
I had a 22lr revolver fail on me last year, just exploded in the cylinder and the bullet smashed against the side of the barrel
I'm really impressed. I would never want to see that happen to anyone who shoots, but at least, by the results of the test, minimum damage would occur to the shooter.
Thanks for another great show! Take care and be safe!!
I think a large caliber revolver would be cool to see. Like .44 or bigger.
With most modern ammo it's actually kinda difficult to overload even with super fast powders because alot of them are close to using all case volume for hot loads so adding 30% isn't going to push it to catastrophic failure. If you ever find yourself packing your powder down so you can fit more into the case you should probably reevaluate your load. Now of course I'm talking regular calibers most shooters have access to. The exceptions are rounds that used to be black powder like .45 LC or .38 special because the cases are way too big for smokeless powder and allow you to triple or quadruple load your rounds which is definitely in the realm of catastrophic failure.
The dinosaur is so funny😂😂😂
That little nose boop at 6:46
I really like the idea of overpressure rounds more than barrel obstructions. One could happen to you without you knowing. If you fell in the dirt and broke your fall with the barrel... it might just be a teeny tiny bit your own fault if the gun blows up.
Amazing to see how well the glock held up.
Demo did a few videos on hipoints with barrel obstructions. I was surprised at how little most of the obstructions actually mattered to the safety and function of those guns.
Exactly this. Ever since he blew up that .50 I am kinda side eyeing all the .45 reloads I use for plinking. Would enjoy just seeing what dubious ammo might do to you if it went really wrong in different calibers
That is good advertisement for the manufacturer actually. If this is what typically happen with a catastrophic failure. Gun is scrap but the user only need minimal medical care.
I don't know if it's intentional in the glock's case, but I know there's a lot of guns (and other preassure chambers) that are actually designed to fail before they can reach those pressures and in a way that does the least amount of harm.
I would think that it is intentional in almost all cases (like auto glass) for safety, as you mentioned. I never thought it about it though until I read your comment.
3:13 Man _David the Gnome_ hittin way darker than I recall
This is your Glock, this is your Glock on spice...
Helluva Glock commercial though
The Glock performed amazingly well. Were I not already a Browning P35 and Colt 1911 guy, I might be persuaded to join the Glock Club. But they're just so darned *UGLY* - to quote Dr. Zira. Thanks for the video, Scott!
I could accept having an ugly Glock held by the law while a self defense trial is conducted.
It's the only reason why I am interested in a used or surplus Glock.
Unfortunately, I waited too long and the fair priced 45s on Aims were bought out
@@BertReno I understand your logic. In my situation and location, carrying for protection is *NOT* allowed. So I do not. And can not. But I do take my P35 and 1911 to the range, and enjoy shooting them. Thanks for your comment!
Glocks are beautiful. Of course, the 1911 is very sexy as well!
@@gregdouglass2386 "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder..." LOL But seriously, everyone has their personal preference. Variety is what makes life interesting!
It's good to see people taking a bad experience and learning from it in this kind of way. Still amazed you're still with us, man.
I was present when my dad's G21 went boom while he was shooting it. The mag blew out the bottom, the frame cracked, but he held on to it. The only injury to him was the kick was more than normal so the slide cut the top of his hand a little. He found out the problem was an accidental double charge when reloading. Several more were found in the same condition and dismantled. Glock ended up replacing the whole gun.
An ad featuring Scott for Tested Armor - SAFELIFE DEFENSE on a KB video. Too cool.
Glocks are known for not having fully supported chambers and that may have been what saved it from blowing up completely. It would be interesting if you tried this with a m&p or springfield to see if that supported chamber would cause the gun to blow up catastrophically.
That's a bit of a old wives' tale. All semi-auto pistols have to compromise between the chamber and feed ramp. There was a belief (incorrectly) that the Glock chamber was radically different when they were in their early years. But as you look at many other brands and even including some 1911's the differences are minimal. Further, the myth at the time was that the "unsupported" chamber was the cause of the kabooms. When in reality as you noted, it would have been a weak spot to vent excess gasses if that were the case. M&P and Springfield would likely behave the same. Especially on the 9mm end.
@@MobiusUSAH not true, not true at all...
the issue is serious enough that KKM redesigned their barrels for full support & their barrel is the *ONLY* one i would trust in a 10mm glock. stock glock 20 barrels often blow & look identical to whats shown here... had a buddy get injured pretty bad from exactly that, look it up
@@RichardCranium321 correlation doesn't mean causation and it wouldn't be the first time a fix was applied before the issue was fully understood. There's just way too un verifiable claims to draw any real conclusions on the subject. Iv looked and yes not fully supported chamber is what most people blame but by no means can we definitively say that is the actual reason, now there isn't many other possibilities but theres definitively a few.The way I see it is most glocks out there are stock and if it is the chamber than why are the vast majority of g20 owners not having this issue? All these people who claim it blew up are not firing an absurd amount of shots or even really putting the gun to the test, it appears to be entirely random. It either works or it does not, having a catastrophic failure "once in a while" is something that needs immediate attention and no manufacturer is going to keep producing it like that if that is the case.
That's the .40 and 10mm that had those issues! I believe Glock addressed that!
That's not the 9mm! I have been carrying a G19 and G17 for 30+ years on and off duty and have put 10s of 1000s of rounds through them! Of course over the years, they were randomly replaced with newer models. I have never had any failure of any kind!
That's not to say ANY firearm can't fail given the right set of circumstances!
@@Steve-yo4ld yes, it does happen with 9x19+P & +P+.... it's not just a 40 or 10mm issue. Even 45acp had blow outs, and that's a very low pressure round.
The European ones chambered in 9x21 or 9x23 also have this issue...
I’ve seen Glocks take all kinds of abuse over the years and honestly I’m not surprised that it managed to stay somewhat together without any major catastrophic damage to it. I remember back when Glocks were still kinda new,hearing people complaining about how cheap it looked and how they would never trust a gun that was built with the majority of it being plastic but here we are 30+ years later it is still one of the best handguns ever made.
One of the most popular* handguns ever made. They're good at everything, but not the best at anything.
@@strixt Best at being reliable 🤷🏻♂️
@@MikeJones-mf2rt If you aren't made by Taurus or Springfield
You're probably going to be more reliable than the average shooter needs these days
Can't say I've tortured something like a CZ enough to see if it gets outlasted by the Glock
Because that would take way too long to try and wear either out
@@MikeJones-mf2rt Wrong.
That award goes to the USFA ZiP .22
Because you can always rely on that gun to not work.
@@isskull7272 Good point, forgot about that one 😂
This is a fun series but its way important too. I'm betting most gunners dont give failures much thought until it happens to them (or near them) I sure didnt. This is really helpful. Thanks Scott.
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven.

Enjoyed this video. Thanks for all you do and as always stay safe!
Something does tell me guns do smell good when they come out of a box for the first time
Any chance at seeing what a desert eagle can hold up to?
And good job to the Glock for holding up so well!
Oh man that would be amazing to see
I volunteered for several years to help out the High School Seniors just starting up in the aviation mechanics at the Vo Tech. It was shocking to me how few of these seniors had any idea how to use tools. What really blew me away was none of them had any idea how to use a knife safely, they were constantly cutting so that any slip would injure them, sometimes badly. I'm 76, when I went to grade school and up, every boy had a pocket knife he carried all the time, and most knew how to use it safely. I had to watch these kids constantly if they were cutting anything, and point out their gross neglect and what would happen if that knife slipped.
I like your introduction to the video it makes me anxious and to keep watching more videos tnx Scott
The Underwood rounds that use the Lehigh penetrators are pretty cool. I'd love to see some tests of their barrier blindness, with Zombies as targets of course.
It's good to see Scott finally following the 1st rule of Knife safety.
Cut towards your buddy, not your body!
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight
“Im still financially recovering from that one” chainsaws a Glock in half
When you shot the stretch arm strong 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 was hilarious
I don’t know if there’s something wrong with me that I enjoy watching you destroying guns as much as I do, still these videos are useful as public information films, Anti Zombie information, how not to destroy your personal defence weapons by only using recommended ammunition. Your services to public safety are highly underrated on behalf of Zombie hunters, and the gun community I thank you
