    I am no safety nancy but you should wear respirators when cleaning these out and do it outside. The lead dust is no joke. When clearing out shooting ranges it is full respirator and into buckets that are taped and sealed before going for disposal.

      I scrolled down to make this exact comment. I'm no safety nut either, in fact I don't wear a respirator when welding or milling metal or spray painting. But, whatever is in that trap looks terrible to breathe. If I didn't have a mask I'd at least wet down the substrate to keep that dust down.

      @@WmSrite-pi8ck I was medically retired from the HVAC trade after 34 years because of a septic infection I got in my lungs from breathing in various airborne particles related to my job over the years. The company I worked for provided PPE, which I of course used, but respirators don't catch everything and I ended up getting very sick and almost died. Thankfully Workers Comp was on my side in this one and I won my case. The downside though was the infection spread from my lungs to my spine, hence my retirement. I'm now on disability.

    The RN-50 question... I dont think people realize how impressive it is that the threads got peeled clean off the male end... looking into the socket it would be interesting to see in there. I assume those threads are intact but full of the receiver threads. Maybe doing the math and putting it in the video to show just how many PSI it would take to pull all those threads and compare that to 50BMG pressures and then to say 5.56 pressure and 308 pressure to give people an idea of how wickedly bad of a day Scott should have had. It would have peeled an M2 apart. Then add the locking lugs on that and convert that to PSI.
    Its incredible that the gun didnt disintegrate into glitter. Good job Mark! It couldnt have gone better.

      @@hindsight2022 I am not sure you can double charge the case. I would have to check the case capacity vs the load. The amount of powder is pretty tremendous apparently. It is possible that the bullets were stored in a hot environment which could cause the powder to break down into something more powerful. Or the bullets were reloads with the wrong powder like the other guy said.
      I am more thinking about the calculation for pressure. If a standard "proof" load a given amount over pressure (I think its 50%) and the RN cap needed 300% over pressure to peel the threads off then the gun was REALLY strong and the bullet must have been an explosion waiting to happen.

    ANYTHING can work as a bullet stop if you have enough of it... Yep, even AIR -- you just need a LOT (miles) of it... Sand works quite well -- you don't need too many feet of it and the bullets are still rather intact... Water works, but depending upon the bullet velocity, it can result in the bullet being not recoverable... On thing that I considered trying at one time was "slack wax" since it would allow me to reheat the wax so that it would melt and I could then recover the lead from the bottom... I cast my own bullets, so being able to recover my lead would decrease my cost of shooting...

    good video Mark =) and please dont hurry the accident video, do everything you have to to make sure it is clear , concise, and understandable to the layman, because lots of folks are very curious as to how this happened. i eagerly await your determination. by the way is the leading culprit still a faulty reload of a slap round? or something else ?

    That was cool.. I want to build a new bullet catcher, conical bi-sectioned trap... If I am feeling really clever, adding a screw auger at the bottom and a suction fan on the side bottom end opposite end of the screw auger drop shoot... If I am feeling even more cleverer then that, to make the first two point of impact plates replaceable in slots with a safety plate behind number one, and the back up plate would not be removable or replaceable. I suppose it could be in the same fashion as the first/front unit. Maybe a sealed plastic composite bladder filled with liquid that if punctured, would start to leak and run out the bottom as an indicator that either the replaceable splatter plate and the back-up safety splatter plate have worn out/through OR the caliber was just too dang big for what the plates to handle? I highly doubt, the plastic composite bladder that hugs the entire back side (as designed on paper) being only less then a foot thick would be enough to dampen the projectile, if both the front plates worn through or were slam fractured or punctured through? I think the sound of liquid peeing out the bottom auger drop shoot onto the shop floor, would be enough to hear it..?
    There is my novel for the week of run-on sentences. Another fun video.

    On the real though, is there still a 2 year lead time on the rn50, or has there been enough cancelation that I might get one before I climb up the mountain for my sky burial.

    The fact that you constantly fire .50 BMG and other calipers into that relatively small trap is pretty neat! So many TH-camrs shoot many different things and the .50 BMG always seems to destroy whatever they're shooting while you have a whole trap that's been shot with that and less a bazillion times and it's been years since you had to empty it out. Did you have a pass-through or close then realize it was time to do some maintenance, or was it just time?

    • @markserbu
      @markserbu  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hell no there wasn't a pass-through! Mainly we get to the point where the face is so torn up that it's time to change it, and we go ahead and change the filling at the same time.
