That's how we need to take life, take something sad or bad and use it to make our lives more happy, can be jokes or a comic/book. I always do that, full dark jokes about my life and i don't give a sh*t anything haha.
It does take some serious balls to do that. I'm really happy he survived and made a full recovery. I heard about Scott from Brandon Herrera around the time that Scott had the accident. Scott's videos are so entertaining.
I have a story for you, Scott. Several years ago I worked in a gunstore, I met a lot of interesting people and heard a lot of stories. One day, one of our regulars comes in, all bandaged up, it looked pretty crazy. His story, however, was even more crazy. He explained he and one of his buddies had been out shooting on a field, he was using his old Winchester model 70, chambered in .270win. His buddy brought a rifle chambered in .308, by now you're probably catching on as to what happened that evening. Somehow their ammo had gotten mixed up, and he grabs a round, puts it in his rifle and chambers it. The .308 goes right into the chamber of his Winchester Model 70 which was chambered for .270. He pulls the trigger and the rifle goes boom. Barrel went flying down range, the scope slammed right into his forehead, the left side of the receiver went into his forearm and the rest of the rifle went everywhere else. The man calmly explained how he really liked that rifle, and if at all possible, would love to buy another model 70 if we had one. He was truly an interesting man, it's honestly people like him that made the hassle of retail work worth it.
Now this is a useful story! Scott, maybe the next one in your series should be about loading the wrong caliber into a rifle. Either the example above or maybe more common 300 Blackout in a 5.56.
This series has highlighted that it is not just the chamber pressure alone that determines the _severity_ of an overpressure event - it's also the total energy of that overpressure event; The comparatively dinky 5.56 still did substantial damage to the weapon and surroundings even though the test subject fared quite reasonably. Similar was true of the pistol detonations. By comparison, .50 BMG is packing _significant_ energy, as Scott knows first-hand.
He knows first thumb! I kinda wish these guys would stop giving politicians ammunition (dumb pun intended) to take away our 2nd amendment rights. But I also understand it's educational in a way about safety. I love Scott and his other friends channels but those politicians are tards and know nothing about firearms even though they are surrounded by private security with them. Stop electing the stupid ones!
I know grant given it's a hot round versus a squib load, but still knowing what would happen when using a rifle that has a catastrophic failure is important for me. As a Marine, I learned firearm safety not in just handling but remedial actions, which includes knowing when there's a squib load. That being said, it's kinda unavoidable if you happen to have that one hot round. Thank you for posting this one!
This series is amazing. Every episode has been top notch. Thank you so much for putting in the time, effort and money to do this. Lots of us appreciate it tremendously 👍
My Cabbages! Every time, I see Scott demolish cabbages I hear the cry from Avater the last air bender. Also, really cool to see, how a catastrophic failure on an ar15 looks. That barrel looked really messed up. Thank you Scott, for being entertaining and informative at the same time. Greetings from Germany.
Rather than just using the safety, perhaps it would be even safer to insert the hot load as the 2nd round in the mag, so even if it "just goes off" when you take the safety off, only a normal round would fire. Only problem is you'd have to set up your string to work multiple times in a row. Just a thought
Love how he is just owning the fact that, he almost died to catastrophic failure from a gun, and kinda made it his thing now to do it on purpose, in a somewhat safe environment.
Actually had one of these last year. Totally my fault. After reloading thousands of round over the years, I made the mistake of dumping my powder thrower into the wrong bottle. Yes, I added pistol powder to my rifle bottle. Thank God only the upper & bolt assembly were trashed. By design, I’ve only have one powder out at a time, but obviously screwed up here. Hopefully, my mistake will help others to avoid a similar fate.
It's pretty crazy that the lower receiver was able to stop the bolt carrier dead in it's tracks and redirect it forward with that catastrophic of a failure. You did damn good Mr Stoner!
What I like the most about this series is when you go gradualy up to se at what point the gun fails. Slightly hotter round each time. Can't remember if you blew up a leveraction yet, if not it's time!
There is no casual increments involved here. Even in a .223 barrel alot of loads top out at 100% case capacity so if we assume 100% case capacity is max 55k pressure in order to create a 550k psi round you would have to literally compress the powder into a solid and fit 5-10 times more powder than 100% case capacity. Actually I take that back, I don't even think it's possible with the fastest rifle powders meant for .223 and ya he even said it's a squib so I'd bet that round wasn't even capable of blowing up the gun without the obstruction.
Sooooo glad the good, good folks @ Vanderbilt were able to ' Six Million Dollar Man ' , You back together--- YOU Sir came back to keep dominating ALL the firearms channels.
One of my sons, Ethan, had his M4 blow up when he was in Korea during the missile crisis. Luckily he was relatively uninjured and photos of his blown up rifle are now used in the training manuals
Would love to see these tests without a squib. An over pressure failure would be much more likely than both. But I know you kinda only get one go at blowing it up and you want a proper boom. Thanks again Scott
Some of the guns that were overbuilt to high extent might even survive any possible overpressure rounds you can make using any smokeless powder-based stuff but I would love to see it anyway! I used to have an old Forehand&Wadsworth D/A #32 revolver in .32 rimfire and believe it or not but I ended up increasing the load all the way to maximum pressure possible in it's caliber by filling it's whole case capacity with the PETN-laced super-fine and really fast burning smokeless powder and the gun survived even that!So the barrel was just 2.5" and the bullet weight was 100 grains;the bore diameter .316" and case length .800" so basically the round was dimensionally identical to .32 S&W long and the muzzle velocity reached a whopping 2130 fps!So the damn .32 snub nose revolver ended up producing over 1000 fpe which is by the way exactly the same energy as the full sized (18" barrel) AK-74 rifle with ball ammo in 5,45×39mm! Just imagine the recoil by the way: the little sucker kicked like a good .44 magnum should feel!
I once managed to have a 300blk go off in a 5.56 upper. All the pressure went out the mag well as well, after first splitting the bottom of the bolt carrier. The upper came out completely unscathed and is still perfectly functional. The lower got a slight bow to the mag well but also works just fine. I did get a cool looking copper tube heat formed to the neck of what was left of the case. The lead core of the bullet shot out the barrel and left the jacket 😂
Hey Scott, With that much force going downward, I imagine it would set off any rounds if they were loaded in the mag. That would be interesting to experiment with if you wanted to retry this again! Thanks for being safe and have a great day!
I’ve never seen it explode the rounds below it. They generally get scattered all over the place, but never go off. I’ve seen this in real world a few dozen times. I would guess 30-35 times to be more specific.
Blind Ryder 609 Ooooo. AK dust cover and bolt up in the face. Seen that on video before when an AK blew up. Most ARs that I have seen blow up on video usually blow out through the ejection port and down through the mag well but not in the shooter's face.
Nobody has more respect for guns that are about to blow up than Kentucky Balistics. mad respect and glad you are still with us Scott after the first major gun go boom incident
Scott, I often compliment, and always like, you're videos because I think they're really good. I've been around since before 1m subs and this one was truly exceptional. Your talking was like a well written script, especially with a great series of puns. You're table work seemed especially on point, as well as your shooting seemed a little smoother and faster... can't forget about another great intro. If only you would have had a nicer day going for you, I can't imagine this video being any better. Keep up the great work, you are an awesome dude!
The barrel hovering in mid air was excellent. That rifle actually had a true free floating barrel if only for a brief moment post rifle destruction/table collapse. Pretty cool 😎.
I love how you swapped the guns!!!! Anyone else notice that it changed to a Ruger 556 instead of the one he was shooting which was a Palmetto state armory
@@youtubeuser206 He did indeed! it was not by trick he did specifically call it out! I just found it amusing that no one else in the comments had noticed lol ;-)
I've seen a couple of catastrophic failures with the AR, the inherent design directs the great majority of the blast into the BCG and down the magwell. Pretty much destroys the small parts leaving the lower repairable. In the two incidents I witnessed, no harm to the shooter, no forearm damage, no hand damage, nothing came back into the face. These were normal rounds, failure was determined to be a headspace issue. Those were pretty small blasts compared to your "test".😂
You are an example of turning a life changing event into a life lesson. These videos are are entertaining and informative at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Aboit 30 Yeats ago, some FACTORY federal ammunition blew my uncles savage 99 up.. BUT, it blew the magazine DOWN ND off, no age to the shooter. Federal loaded 1 powder charge, 1. Bullet, ANOTHER powder charge and another bullet! (The loading machine did that several times) so my uncle had 2 or 3 more OOPS bullets. Federal bought him a brand new rifle. -- I have read in the 90s and 90s they had LOTS that were over pressured... MOST hunters I know won't buy Federal to this day fir this.
seeing that the weatherby mark v is considred the strongest bolt action receiver in the world it would be cool to see a destrucive test on that, great video scott, keep it up.
@@alphagt62 that’s what he does for all of these videos. The rounds are like 10x higher than what the max pressure load is lmao they would explode without a squib
Ya know when I was a teenager doing wood working with no safety glasses this old grizzled carpenter came up and sat down next to me. He looked at my work and asked if I was deaf blind and stupid. I said no why? He said I don’t care if you don’t wear hearing protection or gloves but if it was me I’d wear safety glasses. I asked him why and without missing a beat he said I don’t need every finger on my hands or either ear to work but I’ll be damned if I can’t see boobies. They guys probably long dead by now but his wisdom lives on.
He's smart and cautious and I would take the same precautions, especially since a rifle blew up on him and almost sent him to the shooting range in the sky.
@@jumwum6505 barely related but an old man pick pocketed me in line and then tapped on my shoulder and asked if this was my wallet. I was like wow thanks, didnt notice I dropped it. He then said "You didn't. And thats why you don't keep your wallet in your back pocket" and disappeared into the crowd. Will never forget that lol. Been in my front pockets ever since
Way late but that’s the first time I’ve seen the forward assist actually utilized. I guess hot rounds need a little extra help. I absolutely love how this is Scott’s new mission.
Scott I think you should get another AR and get a bunch of rounds that gradually increase in pressure until damage happens. That would be awesome to see.
My theory is that the destruction occurred primarily downward and laterally due to the bolt being locked into the receiver extension and the squib not allowing gas to get to the gas tube to unlock it. This setup needs to be done twice more. Once with a clear bore, to see if the gas system would prevent some of the damage and once with the lugs shaved off the bolt.
500,000 psi is way too much pressure. The bolt would likely not have unlocked before the whole gun exploded anyways, like seen. The pressure is way too high, and way too fast. The powder being used for these loads is waaaay faster than a normal rifle powder, so the pressure builds up incredibly fast. It would explode before the bullet has even moved down the barrel much.
@@BryceKimball7.3 I’m not saying it will survive. It would just be interesting to see what difference it might make in the blast patterns. I would especially like to see what would happen if it sheared the lugs off a weak bolt .
This also happens when a 300blk is fed into a 5.56. Yes it will chamber as it forces the bullet into the case upon chambering. Be extra careful not to mix your ammo.
Scott, do you keep the firearm pieces from these experiments? It would be funny to give them to Brandon and see if he can make a Franken-gun out of what is left.
I’d be curious to see incremental increases in powder charges (for reloading) to see how much you’d have to over load it before bad things happen with different calibers.
I was on my way to go to sleep, when your went online and I needed to watch it immediately. 😀 It was once again so much fun, especially 6:29 made me a little jumpscare, or better said: Scott you got me again. I freakin love your videos, you're the best and most interesting and funniest Gun-Channel in my humble opinion. It was more than worth it to stay awake. 🙂👍 Thank you Scott. 🤘
I think that a bulpup explosion test would be interesting, considering the chamber is much much closer to the face i am curious to see how a tavor, mdrx, AUG,(do we really need to test a keltec) would hold up to failure. i hope that one of those is in the works, havent seen a bulpup catastrophically fail
Agreed. The concept of a full length barrel in a compact gun is absolutely fantastic. I have always wanted a 12 gauge bullpup. But something about a magnum three and a half inch shell going off right next to my throat never really seemed like a good idea
Would a full clip make any difference? The only thing that I remember about the original m16. Was when the range officer told us to always make sure that the charging handle was pushed come forward. Or you risk the chance of really being able to talk out of both side your mouth.
@@kujokage1911 Incorrect terminology is partially how politicians are trying to take our rights away. Is this instance a big deal? Not necessarily. But making a habit of it is.
I think it would be cool to see an episode of this series focusing on super hot, overpowered small caliber rounds like 22lr, 22 mag, 25 acp, 5.7x28, etc… I wonder if you could make those small rounds high-pressured enough to edit anything
I can tell ya what not to do when reloading and you get a Hot Round, don't throw it into the melted lead. My dad's friend did this when they were reloading, years before I was born (sometime before 1969), and when he threw that round into the melted lead crucible everyone scattered to a safe distance before it exploded. The crucible had a fair sized hole in it and lead was scattered everywhere. Morals to this story, don't reload while drinking, and if you make a mistake don't throw it into the hot lead crucible. From the guns/rifles we had when I grew up the round was either a .22 LR or a .30 Cal. So a doubled powdered round (at least) round could be quite spectacular, even with only a .22 LR.
I'm also gonna throw my hat in the ring for a 10/22. When I was a kid and didnt know much about guns I took my cheap-o savage bolt action .22 rifle and two 22lr rounds. I pulled the bullets out of both and dumped all the powder into one case and pressed the bullet back in. Stupid me thought twice the powder = twice the velocity. The gun failed somewhat catastrophically. Cracked the bolt and spewed a few parts out the ejection port. I was fine thankfully.
When I was young, I sometimes would pull the lead off a .22 bullet, because you could easily do this with just your fingers, and then put the powder from one into another to double it and put the bullet back in. I fired a couple of these in an old single-shot bolt-action .22 rifle and they made quite a bang, but they didn't do any noticeable damage. It did vent some gas out the breach face and jar the bolt handle up some, and but not all the way open. I never did this with anything stronger because I realized that would be pretty stupid. :)
This started from a single near fatal ammo malfunction, now it turned into a series to test how the ammo would have failed and how it would look. Amazing Edit: How did this get likes Another edit: I know i got some stuff wrong, but please stop correcting me Another Another edit: this comment has the most likes i've ever gotten in awhile
When life gives you a bunch of shot/blown up lemons, make lemon-aid. In Scott's case, blow up a 50 BMG due to a hot round (and almost lose his life), blow up other rifles/handguns to find out how they can fail.
Whats your thoughts on maybe doing a "exploding" Ak-47 or a revolver maybe even a elephant gun of some type next? amazing edits and content! missed watermelon time on this one much love!
İs there anyone else who thaught he was about to pull a dirty joke :D that was funny. i love your content dude...Stay safe and away from the exploding guns...
Good call. I didn't think of the reloading part. Yeah that would be real hard on some 22lr. It would be kinda cool to see 10/22 yeeted to next week tho.
Hey, Scott I am Tim, and I am sending you all the best from Oberfranken at the top of Bavaria in Germany🇩🇪 A big thank you for all your good and well produced content😄 I literally pissed myself, when I saw that intro. I wish you all the best 👌🏼keep it up
Again, I would love to see how a wood-stocked good would react to a catastrophic failure. Could be really interesting to see how the wood might splinter, where it might split apart, etc.
I had read long ago the AR bolt and carrier is designed to vent any over pressure down through the magazine well. I cant remember where I read this, but I do remember there was a story to this, as in they were recounting someones previous experience. I suppose though that throwing 10x the recommended pressure at anything is going to pretty well bypass any safety measures and just go boom. Great video as always Scott!!!!
For how destructive that was it really didn’t seem that dangerous. You’ll notice the shrapnel went up, to the side, and forward. It didn’t come back towards your face and that was surprising to me. I thought the bolt would have flown out the back. You wouldn’t be unscathed like Scott said about the forearm. But you probably wouldn’t be dead and I count that as a win.
The keltec RDB is probably relatively safe if an similar round was chambered and fired out of it. Since it had a downward ejection and the magazine well to direct the blast. Of course the magazine would still be destroyed along with the bolt and piston.

Even in a .223 barrel alot of loads top out at 100% case capacity so if we assume 100% case capacity is max 55k pressure in order to create a 550k psi round you would have to literally compress the powder into a solid and fit 5-10 times more powder than 100% case capacity.

I’ve never seen it explode the rounds below it. They generally get scattered all over the place, but never go off. I’ve seen this in real world a few dozen times. I would guess 30-35 times to be more specific.
Would also love to see you get some ballistic fore arms for this idea too would help illustrate the extent of damage that could possibly happen
Great idea 👍
See this would never have happened to an AK, I hear Brandon’s AK50 can take slap rounds all day 😂, love the series dude keep them up
Blind Ryder 609 Ooooo. AK dust cover and bolt up in the face. Seen that on video before when an AK blew up. Most ARs that I have seen blow up on video usually blow out through the ejection port and down through the mag well but not in the shooter's face.
Scott, the intros to your videos keep getting better and better. Thank you for the laughs my guy 🤘💀
FACTS they are great
Nobody has more respect for guns that are about to blow up than Kentucky Balistics. mad respect and glad you are still with us Scott after the first major gun go boom incident
Scott, I often compliment, and always like, you're videos because I think they're really good. I've been around since before 1m subs and this one was truly exceptional. Your talking was like a well written script, especially with a great series of puns. You're table work seemed especially on point, as well as your shooting seemed a little smoother and faster... can't forget about another great intro. If only you would have had a nicer day going for you, I can't imagine this video being any better.
Keep up the great work, you are an awesome dude!

No way I won also lol
I'm getting annoyed at these stupid bots
The barrel hovering in mid air was excellent. That rifle actually had a true free floating barrel if only for a brief moment post rifle destruction/table collapse. Pretty cool 😎.
I love how you swapped the guns!!!! Anyone else notice that it changed to a Ruger 556 instead of the one he was shooting which was a Palmetto state armory
I do now ,thanks
I don't know enough abouts guns yet so I didn't till u mentioned it. I just purchased my first fire arm a couple months ago so I'm still learning
@@solinoctis804 scott also mentioned it in the video 😂 3:15 and 4:54
I did but that's because I'm a Ruger fan
@@youtubeuser206 He did indeed! it was not by trick he did specifically call it out! I just found it amusing that no one else in the comments had noticed lol ;-)
The more this guy does the more I like his content. Keep smashing and acting goofy Scott. You the man!
I've seen a couple of catastrophic failures with the AR, the inherent design directs the great majority of the blast into the BCG and down the magwell. Pretty much destroys the small parts leaving the lower repairable. In the two incidents I witnessed, no harm to the shooter, no forearm damage, no hand damage, nothing came back into the face. These were normal rounds, failure was determined to be a headspace issue. Those were pretty small blasts compared to your "test".😂
A couple? I spent a decade in the Army around ARs and never saw one blow up. Was it hot loads or cheap rifles?
Headspace is set even when changing barrels
You are an example of turning a life changing event into a life lesson. These videos are are entertaining and informative at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Aboit 30 Yeats ago, some FACTORY federal ammunition blew my uncles savage 99 up.. BUT, it blew the magazine DOWN ND off, no age to the shooter.
Federal loaded 1 powder charge, 1. Bullet, ANOTHER powder charge and another bullet! (The loading machine did that several times) so my uncle had 2 or 3 more OOPS bullets.
Federal bought him a brand new rifle. -- I have read in the 90s and 90s they had LOTS that were over pressured... MOST hunters I know won't buy Federal to this day fir this.
Scott: You never fail to make me laugh! Thanks for all the time and work you spend. Dean

seeing that the weatherby mark v is considred the strongest bolt action receiver in the world it would be cool to see a destrucive test on that, great video scott, keep it up.
Well, even if it’s the strongest action ever with a malfunction like a bore obstruction the barrel is just gonna explode
You’d have to get someone who reloads ammo to make a highly overpowered round, and maybe a barrel obstruction too.
Ак -74 самый прочный
@@alphagt62 that’s what he does for all of these videos. The rounds are like 10x higher than what the max pressure load is lmao they would explode without a squib
I love how Scott puts on safety glasses and then proceeds to hide behind a massive truck lol
Ya know when I was a teenager doing wood working with no safety glasses this old grizzled carpenter came up and sat down next to me. He looked at my work and asked if I was deaf blind and stupid. I said no why? He said I don’t care if you don’t wear hearing protection or gloves but if it was me I’d wear safety glasses. I asked him why and without missing a beat he said I don’t need every finger on my hands or either ear to work but I’ll be damned if I can’t see boobies. They guys probably long dead by now but his wisdom lives on.
He's smart and cautious and I would take the same precautions, especially since a rifle blew up on him and almost sent him to the shooting range in the sky.
@@jumwum6505 wise man
Well He's learning once bit twice shy LOL
@@jumwum6505 barely related but an old man pick pocketed me in line and then tapped on my shoulder and asked if this was my wallet. I was like wow thanks, didnt notice I dropped it. He then said "You didn't. And thats why you don't keep your wallet in your back pocket" and disappeared into the crowd. Will never forget that lol. Been in my front pockets ever since
Way late but that’s the first time I’ve seen the forward assist actually utilized. I guess hot rounds need a little extra help. I absolutely love how this is Scott’s new mission.
Same here. I’m guessing it was because he followed the bolt back with the charging handle kinda gently instead of dropping it.
Scott I think you should get another AR and get a bunch of rounds that gradually increase in pressure until damage happens. That would be awesome to see.
My theory is that the destruction occurred primarily downward and laterally due to the bolt being locked into the receiver extension and the squib not allowing gas to get to the gas tube to unlock it. This setup needs to be done twice more. Once with a clear bore, to see if the gas system would prevent some of the damage and once with the lugs shaved off the bolt.
Donate two more ARs and I'm sure he'll be happy to do that for you. :)
500,000 psi is way too much pressure. The bolt would likely not have unlocked before the whole gun exploded anyways, like seen. The pressure is way too high, and way too fast. The powder being used for these loads is waaaay faster than a normal rifle powder, so the pressure builds up incredibly fast. It would explode before the bullet has even moved down the barrel much.
@@BryceKimball7.3 I’m not saying it will survive. It would just be interesting to see what difference it might make in the blast patterns. I would especially like to see what would happen if it sheared the lugs off a weak bolt .
This is hands down an educational video. You teach us with explosive results. I definitely need to give you a hand on this one.
I was so relieved when Scott took off the Vortex AMG optic before blowing up the rifle. haha
Yeah I was in suspense
I didn't want to vortex to get wasted
This series is amazing! Maybe do a lever action next🤔?
What I was thinking too. Catastrophic lever gun failure would be interesting to see.
Yes
Agree, 45-70 maybe
It would be interesting to see how something like a Rossi would handle it
10:23 that last slo mo was awesome 10 out of 10
my favorite part of the video is the facial expression on the thumb nail
Why does watching Scott throw things never get old?
Yeeting tables is fun.
And the hand sounds never get old 😆
This channel is like professional wrestling for gun enthusiasts.
Kinda like a Gallagher thing.
Slapstick comedy is timeless.
This also happens when a 300blk is fed into a 5.56. Yes it will chamber as it forces the bullet into the case upon chambering. Be extra careful not to mix your ammo.
Had that happen twice on our range!
@Scottkb722 A sucker's born every day, I guess. BTW... what did he win? I'm never so lucky☹️
@@jstriker623 Oh come on, you could just go msg them yourself to find out what you've won if you really wanted to know...

Scott, do you keep the firearm pieces from these experiments? It would be funny to give them to Brandon and see if he can make a Franken-gun out of what is left.
I agree
I’d be curious to see incremental increases in powder charges (for reloading) to see how much you’d have to over load it before bad things happen with different calibers.
I would like to see that as well!
@@robertjesse1022 I think everybody would
Me too
A seriously good idea, Saami specs Saturday?
Scott: “What? Were you expecting some sort of explosion?” While the explosion sound goes off.
Me: lmao
I'd just like to say thank you Dad for making sure your son, Kentucky Ballistics, is following proper safety procedures.
I was on my way to go to sleep, when your went online and I needed to watch it immediately. 😀 It was once again so much fun, especially 6:29 made me a little jumpscare, or better said: Scott you got me again. I freakin love your videos, you're the best and most interesting and funniest Gun-Channel in my humble opinion. It was more than worth it to stay awake. 🙂👍 Thank you Scott. 🤘
I love how Scott made a disaster into a masterpiece.
I think that a bulpup explosion test would be interesting, considering the chamber is much much closer to the face i am curious to see how a tavor, mdrx, AUG,(do we really need to test a keltec) would hold up to failure.
i hope that one of those is in the works, havent seen a bulpup catastrophically fail
he should use one of those Cali complaint MDRs as no one will shed a tear over Cali complaint gun going boom.
@@phalanx3803 LISTEN HERE FELLOW TH-camR. The cali compliant is the only way i could own an mdrx in NY. yes i am trying to move LMAO
@@darkninja225 you're lucky I live in Australia. Only time I get to shoot guns like that is when there's a special event on.
@@phalanx3803 i am so sorry to hear that. il run a mag in your name
Agreed. The concept of a full length barrel in a compact gun is absolutely fantastic. I have always wanted a 12 gauge bullpup. But something about a magnum three and a half inch shell going off right next to my throat never really seemed like a good idea
I seem to recall Stoner talking about the downward-directed blast upon failure as a designed feature.
Would a full clip make any difference? The only thing that I remember about the original m16. Was when the range officer told us to always make sure that the charging handle was pushed come forward. Or you risk the chance of really being able to talk out of both side your mouth.

@@kujokage1911 Incorrect terminology is partially how politicians are trying to take our rights away. Is this instance a big deal? Not necessarily. But making a habit of it is.
I think it would be cool to see an episode of this series focusing on super hot, overpowered small caliber rounds like 22lr, 22 mag, 25 acp, 5.7x28, etc… I wonder if you could make those small rounds high-pressured enough to edit anything
I can tell ya what not to do when reloading and you get a Hot Round, don't throw it into the melted lead. My dad's friend did this when they were reloading, years before I was born (sometime before 1969), and when he threw that round into the melted lead crucible everyone scattered to a safe distance before it exploded. The crucible had a fair sized hole in it and lead was scattered everywhere. Morals to this story, don't reload while drinking, and if you make a mistake don't throw it into the hot lead crucible. From the guns/rifles we had when I grew up the round was either a .22 LR or a .30 Cal. So a doubled powdered round (at least) round could be quite spectacular, even with only a .22 LR.
I'm also gonna throw my hat in the ring for a 10/22. When I was a kid and didnt know much about guns I took my cheap-o savage bolt action .22 rifle and two 22lr rounds. I pulled the bullets out of both and dumped all the powder into one case and pressed the bullet back in. Stupid me thought twice the powder = twice the velocity. The gun failed somewhat catastrophically. Cracked the bolt and spewed a few parts out the ejection port. I was fine thankfully.
@@motosk8er2 haha yeah, thankfully you’re okay. 10/22 is a fine rifle. I have 2 of them and never had any issues
When I was young, I sometimes would pull the lead off a .22 bullet, because you could easily do this with just your fingers, and then put the powder from one into another to double it and put the bullet back in. I fired a couple of these in an old single-shot bolt-action .22 rifle and they made quite a bang, but they didn't do any noticeable damage. It did vent some gas out the breach face and jar the bolt handle up some, and but not all the way open. I never did this with anything stronger because I realized that would be pretty stupid. :)
5.7x28 would be interesting. That's already a speedy pistol round. I wouldn't want to blow up my 57 though, it's a fun pistol.

This started from a single near fatal ammo malfunction, now it turned into a series to test how the ammo would have failed and how it would look.
Amazing

When life gives you a bunch of shot/blown up lemons, make lemon-aid. In Scott's case, blow up a 50 BMG due to a hot round (and almost lose his life), blow up other rifles/handguns to find out how they can fail.
Near-fatal
@@KineticTaco Yeah
Weapon didnt fail, ammo did.
Whats your thoughts on maybe doing a "exploding" Ak-47 or a revolver maybe even a elephant gun of some type next? amazing edits and content! missed watermelon time on this one much love!
İs there anyone else who thaught he was about to pull a dirty joke :D
that was funny.
i love your content dude...Stay safe and away from the exploding guns...
You should test the old 5.56 in a .223 chamber. How many rounds will it take to get to the center of an ar15???
It might be cool to see smaller caliber guns explode, like push the 22lr to its failure point. If that's even possible. Another great video Scott
It'd be a challenge, .22 rimfire isn't exactly reloadable. And it'd have to be bolt action or you'd yeet the blowback bolt into the next county...
Good call. I didn't think of the reloading part. Yeah that would be real hard on some 22lr. It would be kinda cool to see 10/22 yeeted to next week tho.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact he removed the key mod upper before exploding it
I was worried about the optic
It's a bait and switch
Nah my guy. they Keymod is probably more worthy of death than a regular handguard is.
No, he just shot at the beginning with a PSA15 but blew up the Ruger AR
@@davidmckibben5130 ohh I see now, I was skipping through the video a bit
8:40 when the peice fell out Scott's face was priceless 😭
I saw that explosion coming but it still scared me anyway 🤣
Do an MP5 next (doesn’t have to be a real mp5)
scott: "its not like my guns will explode"
the guns: "oh, so we are a joke?"
Damnit Scott I knew it was coming and still almost dropped my computer! Trying to give people a heart attack out here with these explosion noises 😂

Wow.. I'm so impressed... I guess after being perfected for 50 plus years... probably one of the safest rifles you can have

Im curious to know now, just what an after market optic would look like after such an event
Or if the mag was fully loaded
i’m pretty curious abt how powerful that bullet would be out of something that could handle the pressure……….
Hey, Scott
I am Tim, and I am sending you all the best from Oberfranken at the top of Bavaria in Germany🇩🇪 A big thank you for all your good and well produced content😄 I literally pissed myself, when I saw that intro. I wish you all the best 👌🏼keep it up
Again, I would love to see how a wood-stocked good would react to a catastrophic failure.
Could be really interesting to see how the wood might splinter, where it might split apart, etc.
Don't answer it a scam its not varied
Can we all agree that Scott should actually open a branch of "Bob's Big Boomsticks"?
Yeah i agree
Frankly, yes the forearms were missing, but the overall destruction was pretty safe all things considered.
I had read long ago the AR bolt and carrier is designed to vent any over pressure down through the magazine well. I cant remember where I read this, but I do remember there was a story to this, as in they were recounting someones previous experience. I suppose though that throwing 10x the recommended pressure at anything is going to pretty well bypass any safety measures and just go boom. Great video as always Scott!!!!
These are getting better and better. Scott is in his prime!
6:20 possibly the first time the jam enhancer actually sent a bolt home.
i laughed so hard at the dealer character, absolutely funny.
Fantastic. Keep them coming Scott, much appreciated. Love the gun "testing"..
For how destructive that was it really didn’t seem that dangerous. You’ll notice the shrapnel went up, to the side, and forward. It didn’t come back towards your face and that was surprising to me. I thought the bolt would have flown out the back. You wouldn’t be unscathed like Scott said about the forearm. But you probably wouldn’t be dead and I count that as a win.
yeah. a bolt through the face is deffinately a win. it reminds me to always wear saftey glasses while shooting
Next time he makes an AR explode you should volunteer to pull the trigger
@@rayburn8282 bet
This series is amazing! I'd love to see a couple of bullpup rifles to see how they handle the issue of excess pressure.
Yes great idea winner would love to see that also great idea
Hear,hear
That intro lmao. I want to see a large revolver of some kind have a catastrophic failure in a future video, maybe a .44 magnum or larger.
This man never seems to not put a smile on my face
Double negative. The correct way to say this is “this man always puts a smile on my face”. Which is a little bit 🏳️🌈 but to each their own I guess
He's a genuine nice guy
The keltec RDB is probably relatively safe if an similar round was chambered and fired out of it. Since it had a downward ejection and the magazine well to direct the blast. Of course the magazine would still be destroyed along with the bolt and piston.
Your intros always make me laugh. Thanks for the educational video on shooting safety. The nose pick was a riot. God bless and stay safe.
