    I went to school with a kid who died from this. He was out hunting alone and he got mud in the end of his barrel that froze and when he pulled the trigger, it exploded and he died from blood loss. From what I heard, it took a while, so *_never_* go hunting alone, unless you have no other choice!

      Also slip a plastic bag or rubber cap over the end of your barrel. You can take it off if you're not in a hurry, but even if you are the bullet will blow right through with no real problem. Could save your life.

      Solitary hunting isn't going away any time soon, judging by human history anyway.
      Hunting rifles use slings that has barrel pointing up behind your back, for a good reason: It's what the OG's figured out worked best, no need to run around all tactically and look left & right and all that jazz.
      Always bring a collapsible bore-rod & bore-snake, this stuff doesn't weigh much for the little bit you'll be walking, always check your gun between walking out and settling in on station for the day.
      Bolt comes out on most bolt actions, so remove it and check down the bore, if there are no obstructions give it a swipe with the snake anyway.
      NOW you can load the gun.
      Likewise if the gun did hit the ground in-between/somehow, check it again, if you do have a barrel obstruction that wont come out = Head back.
      Just employ basic common gun safety , and if you can't do that, you don't deserve to own a gun IMO.

    For this series, I feel like it could be really cool if you could manage to collab with the SlowMo Guys at some point.
    Getting their high-speed cameras to really capture the detail of a weapon detonating could be both fun *and* educational to see exactly where the parts fail in even more detail than with your current camera.
    Also, a rifle with a wood stock would also be interesting to see, as it would likely rupture much differently than the polymer did.

    338 Lapua Magnum would be interesting. Not only because it's my favorite long range rifle platform. But, also because of the way, the good ones at least, are built like tanks to handle the extremely high pressure and muzzle velocity that the round creates. The Barrett M98B, Armalite AR30 and FN Ballista are simply a thing of beauty and engineering marvel. I'm pretty confident that a barrel explosion from it will be similar or possibly even more violent than the standard 50 BMG round would be. Those rounds are extremely spicy. 69,000 PSI barrel pressure for the .338 LM vs 60,000 PSI for the 50BMG for the doubters out there.

    Seeing that bolt reminds of a tragic accident at a British Army firing range in the 1950’s. A squad was on the range doing target practice with their Enfield .303 bolt actions, and when they had shot all their rounds, the squad was ordered to clear their weapons and stand, prior to marching off and letting the next squad in. One soldier did not stand up. He was in shooting position on the ground, holding his rifle, but the officer noticed the bolt was not in the gun. The gun had exploded, breaking the bolt, which had left the gun straight backwards and hit the soldier in the eye socket, and buried itself in his skull. The enquiry concluded a squib round was the culprit.

    I'm kind of curious what a .22lr would do with an extra spicy round. I'm sure it wouldn't be as energetic as this or your .50, but then again, the gun won't be as durable either so maybe the lower cartridge side and the smaller gun would balance out to similar destruction,

    • @randomidiot8142
      @randomidiot8142 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on the action. My dad's buddy would reload .22's as a kid and he called them stingers decades ago. He tried for a long shot with one of his hot rounds and blew the bolt out the back of the action.
      More recently I had an out of battery in a .22 and the bullet lodged three inches into the barrel. The case was very mangled. The next round bulged the inside of an 1.25" bull barrel where the stuck bullet was. I didn't notice anything too crazy when I shot it but it wasn't very accurate after that.

    I would like to see you try and recreate what the special forces did in Vietnam with an SKS. They would load a squib round into the chamber of any weapons found in caches so that when the next enemy soldier would try and use it it would explode in their hands sending the bolt back into their face. You can actually find some stories from soldiers who would be on patrol hear a rifle shot only to find an enemy soldier with the bolt in him dead from that round doing it’s job. Would be pretty cool with a zombie head behind it.

      I totally agree with you on that and I said pretty much the same thing. Great minds think alike. Good thoughts actually run deep. Hands and arms in the shooting position would be great. They would take more of a beating than the head. My guess. I hope Scott reads this!

      Many years ago, I was standing directly behind somebody who had a catastrophic explosion of a firearm. He barely lived through it due to massive blood loss from the various injuries. He lost both eyes, his nose, most of his front teeth and the thumb on his Right hand. Hand and finger injuries are common when there is a catastrophic failure. Luckily, such failures are very, very rare!

    In 40 plus years of shooting I had my first squib and luckily it was in a semi-auto .22 and I was using CCI Stingers. I figured that the round didn’t have powder and the force of primer forced bullet about an 1” into barrel. Not knowing I had a squib I shot again and I believe that the reason I had no damage was due to it being a semi-auto .22. Being that the bolt could move it allowed all of the pressure to escape. I’m glad all it gave me was a headache and I didn’t have to thumb any holes. This just happened this past Wednesday. Great video!

    Hey Scott, could you test the internet rumor that a 5.56 rifle can fire .223 rounds all day, but firing 5.56 rounds in a .223 can damage the rifle? I read that since there's more powder in the 5.56 that it could damage a rifle designed for a less spicy round.
