What did you think and what would you like to see next !?! I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Wow
Love it
You are the besssst
I always enjoy the 700 nitro videos.
I like it
So basically Scott worked on getting back in shape first, and then he started his masterplan "destroying .50 cals to assert total dominance". Makes sense lol
REVENGE!
Eye for an Eye
Haha!!! My thoughts exactly 💯
1000th like :(
So now he's gonna be the whistling desile of the gun world......
Honestly, this man is a living legend. Tough, fun, not afraid to be silly, every video is just a pleasure to watch. So glad for the left thumb!

I figured I'd reply to you so you have replies that are from someone real and not a virus spam bot lol
@@RedYankee45 agreed
He is awesome just keep him away from the AK-50

Scott is the only person that can accidentally bottle flip a bullet casing
And do it so casually too

new sport, bullet flipping
Dude the fact that you can laugh at what happened then and now is both absolutely terrifying and inspiring at the same time.
Accidents like that makes you appreciate life even more.
He's just doing the best out of it.
Laugh, Smile and be happy, life doesn't last forever and can be cut short very unexpectedly.
I was coming down to say the same thing lol
You don't know what he is dreaming at night...
@@BigMuff75 Yea….
He doesn't need a therapist. He is the therapist.
I’ve been really curious to see this on a Barrett M99, they have 12 locking lugs + the bolt handle, I’m sure it’d still be damaged but I’d put money on that rifle doing the best in this test
Then blow yours up, my 1 dollar a month Patreon sub should cover the cost :)
@@marcusborderlands6177 lmao 🤣😂😆
I agree with you!
Hey, I'm impressed with the performance. It blew up, it was catastrophic, but the bolt didn't become a dangerous projectile. I expected to see the bolt go straight back through the shooter. I'm glad I was wrong.
Just about any bolt action 50 would be interesting to see, especially with slowmo footage side by side with the RN-50 and the M82A1
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!

WELL HIS BOOBS MATCHES HIS HAIR LOL XX
Scott has taken revenge on the 50 cals
Honestly, you deserve your own barrett 50 cal just to have. You looked badass when you shot it.
DavidsQueerMedia
Unrelated but I was crushed when I found out the Barrett is not a precision rifle, and I guess it doesn’t need to be considering it’s entire purpose is vaporizing engine blocks… But still
@@ryangagnon5489 yeah. .50BMG is not a round built for precision. It's always been an anti-material round. It does things other rounds can't, but other rounds can do things it can't.
@@sebastianriz4703 it’s a cool round built for disabling vehicles. It has seen some long mid-range anti personnel usage with examples like the Vietnam sniper the “white feather” who used a modified browning .50 with a scope on it
This is honestly such a great demonstration of gun safety and why it's important to know your ammo and wear safety equipment. Unfortunate you had to be the first test dummy in all of this.
I think a whole series of hunting and sporting rifles overcharged would be hugely interesting and would show the dangers of not being careful if you are hand loading and why following specs is important. I would love to watch 308, 223/556, 6.5 creed heck even pistol calibers would be interesting. Great video Scott!
Okay, you're definitely an AFT glowie... wanting Scott to destroy all his firearms... 🤪
Agreed something that could be very possible. Double, even triple charge if possible on common rounds 357/44mag .243, .308, 06. With common guns we might actually have.
imagine blowing up a rifle with a "very hot" 22lr .. seems challenging to me :D
Bubba Scott's pissin' hot reloads
@@usmc249 seen a lot of guys try to squeeze as much out of their 30 06 cases as well. Extra case length means add more powder right??? Lol
The way Scott looks up and around as he hears pieces of gun go through the trees always makes me laugh
This is an excellent example of a ‘good failure mode’ vs a ‘bad failure mode’. I’d MUCH rather be holding this one than the other one! The energy goes UP instead of backwards!
Brandon Herrera explained it quite well on one of his Darwin Awards videos that also featured Scott's RN-50 accident. Self-loading weapons have "less severe" catastrophic malfunctions because you have some chunk of the firearm's receiver when the gun does explode, compared to single shot firearms like the RN-50. That said and as what this video shows, it's still not a good day for whoever is having this happen in their face.
Had your head been on the cheekrest of this barett you'd likely be dead. More moving parts = more complicated shrapnel, less moving parts = less sharpnel hitting harder.
Clean juggular cut and punctured lung, vs blindness and possible complex tear of the juggular.
Moral of the story: When Scott invites you over to shoot his personal supply of hand loaded .50cal rounds, you say NO.
That's not what a moral is.
I'd actually like to see what would happen to a bullpup with an extra spicy round. A lot of gun manufacturers say they add extra materials in those rifles just in case of a catastrophic failure like this. Would you survive with a round detonating right by your face?
A bullpup .50 would be cool, or maybe a bullpup .338 lapua mag
GM6 lynx. Scott should phone up Matt over at demo ranch and see if he wants to burn 17k
@@kalin6149 that would be awesome
Do the DesertTech HTI or SRS
thats a good point. The MDR is supposed to be extra protected for this kinda thing, right?
I am very curious to see how a Barrett M99 with 32 Inch Heavy Barrel would handle this overcharged round, because the construction of that gun seems extremely solid compared to the two guns that blew up
The way you were dumping a mag in the pond,when I saw that in slow motion I thought it could easily dislocate someone’s shoulder
I'd like to see an AK-50 with an overcharged round. Maybe one of the easiest platforms to find variants of, and shouldn't be too hard to aquire.
Their is only 1 prototype ak-50 that im aware of so yea would be very hard to get ahold of and doubt they'd want to destroy it in this manner
@@homie6166 bet it will at some point. Likely pre production model
I wonder if The AK guy would like to test this theory with his gun on Scotts show?
@@homie6166 I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic. Brandon Herrera has been trying to manufacture one for some time, much to the Internet's amusement.
🤦♂️lol yea I guess now looking at it again
Hey dude, not sure if you'll see this comment, but I want you to know, between this and your other two 'overcharged' videos, this has taught me a valuable lesson about sourcing ammo. Every time I buy online now for my dinky little AR, I'm waaayyy more careful about where I'm buying it from. Thanks for the lesson, sorry it almost killed you.
Left thumb gang ftw!

When Scott threw the casing of the bullet now he is a pro bottle flipper

This is definitely a type a series I would be all for. Just like you now I'm curious about other overcharged Calibers. Especially really common rounds like 5.56, 308, and maybe even 9mm in a typical carry gun.
Talking 556 what overcharged are we talking?
Blackout overcharged or worse?
I'd love to watch a Glock go boom
9mm must be interesting!
Same
@@skilledcasual9443 well with 5.56 if there were a way to kind of work up the level that would be cool.
When Scott laughs about the price of a Barrett, after saying he is gonna blow it up, is priceless. Glad Kentucky Ballistics is still able to shot em up, after last year.
Tax write off
If he's anything like my cousin, it's a fear reaction and also to avoid crying. Blowing up a 10k dollar gun would be enough to make most men tear up. >.>
Yeah he had a financially induced mental breakdown and then proceeded to mag dump a few rounds of quality fifty BMG into some forest dirt.
not sure what he gets for ads, but heard that pewdiepie have a standard deal of 500k as minimum to do an ad...Scott might not have as many subs....but Im pretty sure he will get way more than 10k for an ad lol
can this be repaired fellows
Informative, thanks Scott!
Great warning about the dangers of hot rounds. Awesome episode!
I would love to see what happens to an AR10.
I would like to see what pistols would do with over charged rounds. Especially pistols that aren't rated for +p rounds. Would be interesting to know exactly what conceal carry pistols can withstand.
I cracked the slide on both sides on one of my beater .380s pushing +P ammo.
You forgot to add "asking for a friend." 😂
My VP9sk eats 124 grain +P and 160 grain +P suppressed without any issue.
@@hoffmiermp super interesting, what brand of pistol is it
Hmm I would like to know when a P8A1 starts failing as they usually can take 40k+ PSI rounds
1:37 I love how he's both excited and disappointed at the same time about exploding a barrett.
i mean yeah awesome and expensive weapon :I
I think "disappointed" is an understatement, when you're literally blowing up $10,000.
It’s a machine gun
@@jameshawkins7221no, its a sniper rifle
@@Wutsizbukkit Anti material rifle*
4:27 tht sound is amazing
Seeing how various guns handle freak events like this wouls be equally educational _and_ cool.
I think the next segment in this series, maybe a side quest, if you will, should be to build a .50bmg gun that can fire that spicy round. Since Brandon is making a .50 bmg Ak, Scott could build the most over built .50bmg. This being more of a side item to other videos and op round testing in other guns.
But the question then becomes: HOW overcharged? Because if you double load the primer and fill it to the brim with flash powder the M2HB barrel would be "a pencil barrel" by comparison to something that could handle it.
BMG+P? Yes, please do.
BTW: there is a practical limit to the pressure that can be handled by just using a bigger chunk of metal... if you care if it works for more than 1-2 rounds. The solution is to wrap an inner sleeve in a tension sleeve to pre-compress the inner surface. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built-up_gun
I second this motion!!
Scott delivers a solid 3in/75mm steel diameter 5ft long bar to Mark Serbu with a note.... "I need your help"
Mark starts boring and heat treating the thing, Ends up looking like a barrel from an M1 tank. The muzzle break IS from an 76mm M1 gun (late sherman).
The breech cap alone ends up weighing 2.2lb/1KG.
You pull the trigger with a chain instead of a string.
I think Scott is the only one I can still respect after purposely blowing up multiple 50’s. Surviving a 50 explosion has earned him the right to return the favor without any negative feelings.
Scott: "What guns you guys wanna see next?"
Subscribers + Viewers: "Yes."
Love the way you laughed after being distraught about blowing up such an expensive gun at 1:38 ... great attitude and endearing, as well as made me laugh too.
I would love to see all the modern rifles being tested! The AR, AK, things like that. The kind of guns most people have laying around in a safe somewhere. Now THAT would be some interesting testing
There’s a decent amount of footage of booby trapped rounds causing catastrophic failures in the weapons they use in the Middle East.
I’m not getting the fascination with blowing up rifles. I wouldn’t do it to anything I own intentionally and there’s tons of footage of AR and AK meltdowns and intentional over pressures, some survive ish and others come apart in spectacular fashion. Can’t tell you how many videos about the dangers of shooting 300 Blackout through a 556 AR are out there. I don’t even follow AKs but have seen meltdowns so I’m certain there’s intentional over pressure videos out there too
All other guns will never top these two. I've had my gun blowing up cherry popped already
Well Kalashnikov group made a series of meltdown videos on AKs, RPKs and so on. Tho it's not a single powerful round blowing the gun up, it's multiple normal rounds exploding the barrell
Rude, I have a couple of 50s laying around my house. I keep one under the bed in case an intruder is a little spicier than expected.
I’d love to see more of this, especially in the common platforms like the Ak, ar, glock, 1911, high point, etc. And maybe not just going straight to explosion territories but working up in pressure levels
I agree! But it's kind of a bitter sweet thing. Once you run anything over what the gun is made for, it starts to weaken it. So you don't get a real understanding of how firing just one over charged round out of a fire arm really affects it.
Honestly, as heavily built as the Hi Point is, I bet it could handle a hotter load then recommended.
I am so amazed at the power the bullet releases 😮
Hey Scott, glad to see you are doing well, very scary ordeal.
I’ve been hand loading for more than 30 years and it would be interesting to know what a standard hunting rifle would take to blow. Like the 300 win mag in a browning A bolt or the 338 win mag in the ruger m77 mark 2.
Or in hand guns the 480 ruger RedHawk, or the 44 mag in the ruger black hawk
Thanks for all hard work and all the info it gives us!

Would love to see you overpressure a .22LR bolt action. I've always figured most of those are way over engineered and I've wondered how much they can take before they blow.
YES! I have always wondered the same thing.
Same here
ive never wondered that but I assumed the Barrett would take the slap round and it wasn't even close, and that's makes me curious
Same
I did it to my ruger 10-22. Put 2 shells worth of powder in one and couldn't even seat the bullet all the way back in. It was very loud and blew the extractor out of the bolt but otherwise no damage... might be a different story with a bolt action though.
Great Videos! Thank you.
Thank you for this!
This should be a whole series with every caliber you can reliably and easily get your hands on. Nothing crazy rare (like 700 nitro, etc) but definitely common guns. It'll be a cool series
I agree !!
Honestly should crowd fund a dollar per person to fund this. The intent is to test each common gun he wont be keeping it. So it would be a win for viewers to see each gun fail. Im not for content creators crowd funding millions but only using small percentage per fund reason, aka pocketing cash. I think we can get behind this method.
Like the pistols that seem to be debated glock19 vs 1911
Yes with lots of common guns. But with load data. I'd like to see loads gradually increase until failure. So we can see what they can safely handle. Of course that would probably lead to stupid people making rounds at 10% under failure point
@@erict3728 Maybe 5%
Scott: "Do you want to see more of these types of videos?"
Me: "Yes"
Scott: "What kind of guns would you like to see?"
Me: "Yes"
yes
Yes. AK-50. Maybe next week...?
Yes
Yes
Damn yes!!
I love the dedication from this guy this channel in general he spends so much money on alot of his videos. He could have just not made this video imaged he shows love and destroys thousands of dollars. ❤❤
Such an amazing gun and very very amazing video man
I agree a series about overcharged rounds could be super cool. Now this is going to sound stupid but, seeing a Ruger 10/22 take an over charged round would be pretty informative.
Had this happen to me a couple years. Blew out the mag and broke the extractor. The underside of my wrist was a little crispy. Other than that I was totally fine. I sent the Ruger back and got a brand new 10/22 takedown
@@ProwNewb act of god... what were you about to shoot lol... that sounds like it went off when the bolt went forward... but could it have been a failure in the tacke down mech.
I want to see the 10/22 as well.
I would be very interested in this being a continuing series. A handgun would be interesting, a semi auto as well as a revolver, maybe something like a 44. mag revolver and a 9mm glock. ...both of those scare me when you start talking overpressure because you're likely losing your hand, or at least a few fingers.
Agreed! this is useful information, and it will help to scare people away from using dodgy reloaded ammo.
I bet a lot of people are scouring the web for cheap ammo right now, due to the shortage.
How about a .22 or .38
@@troybarnes473 nearly impossible for well built .22's because you simply can't put that much powder in them. Even level five Ramset blank cartridges won't really do much unless it's like a cheap Bearman Derringer pistol and you have a barrel obstruction. The gases will find the path of least resistance and just vent. Sometimes that results in the brass actually crushing inward away from the chamber. Now .38? I'll put it like this. Revolvers don't have the same pressure spikes as semiauto pistols. The cylinder gap would generally vent gases out the sides. Standard .38 SPL loads operate between 15,000-17,000 psi. Low pressure in the firearms world. .357 is significantly higher at 29,000-39,000 psi. I've seen a Smith and Wesson 686 with two full house .357 mag bullets stacked in the barrel behind a squib load with barely a budge. Firearm instructors... Generally, a firearm is designed to withstand normal and even over pressure ammo for thousands of rounds. But case dimensions and space available for powder in straight wall pistol cartridges generally won't exceed the construction of a well-built firearm. Especially a revolver with a stainless steel chamber. So in short... That's a stupid suggestion.
@@Vid_Master Would you destroy your own guns to provide that information?
@@mattmarzula ok stupid or just didn't know. Thanks for your explanation. Have a great day.
Brings a tear to my eye!
That looked like an awesome gun, but hey, everything for science! 😂😂😂
Scott, who nearly died of a gun malfunction, is out here doing some backwoods QA product testing on behalf of .50 caliber gun manufacturers, for free. What an absolute mad lad.
My parents always told me to never let experience go to waste.
This is legitimately really interesting from a safety perspective. Of course, people know that overcharged ammo is bad, but seeing it is very different.
Indeed.
Most people probably think "Oh, I might ruin my gun." not "Oh, I might blow up my face."
Got real tired of all the guys saying the RN50 must have a bad design or safety flaw from detonating. No .50 on the market can withstand a 190kpsi overcharge.
Amazing dude, the Webley. 455 is often used with clips and. 45acp.
Apparently, the Webley is progress too about 13000psi, whereas the acp is routinely around 2000 psi.
Rumors are that many Webleys have burst. Please can you do pistols with spicy meatballs. Kudoes on surviving btw.
Yes! Make this a series.
Overcharged every day carry calibre would be interesting, many folks reload and the risks are often forgotten or overlooked. Nice content as always, and an expertly edited video!
I would really like to see that
I don't think ANY serious reloader is forgetting or overlooking the risk of overcharged ammo. Most of us get VERY serious about that risk, and we have various ways of minimizing it. That said...sometimes people get complacent or make mistakes.
I weigh every round after I load with my progressive. Even though I have never encountered a double-charge, that doesn't mean I will change my policy and chance it.
you could do something like a Glock 9MM
cousin bubba's pissin hawt glawk boolits
Honestly I feel like weapon manufacturers would be more than willing to supply you with weapons to do more overpressure tests. This is very good information for the engineers at these manufacturers to have.
Most will already do this kind of thing, in some variation
@@blacklabel6223 while you're correct, i think that having Scott do it on his channel would be a great PSA for everyone as opposed to awful corporate videos that feel.. weird.
It’s like a proof test, but even more destructive!
Maybe you can get an AK-50 prototype to blow up after the AKG guys don't need it anymore.
@@SuperWaterskiboy Exactly, not only would they get the data, but they'd get free advertising for the destructive tests that they already do.
Dude, I'm from brazil, and I've never shot any gun ever, so that mag dump in the beginning got my heart racing!! What a damn beautiful and powerful gun, the closest I got from shooting was on CoD lol
Hey good Brother. I'm happy to see your doing better,Thank God. I like what you do on here and plus your teachings are very helpful
Excellent video! Gives reloaders reason for pause to insure they are being vigilant in their processes to not create an over charged load. Would definitely like to see some common cartridges overloaded so we can relate to what we are actually loading. Say the 5.56/223, 308/7.62x51, 7.62x39, 30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor, 300WM. Maybe a couple handgun cartridges like 9mm, 45ACP, 44 rem mag, 357 mag.
It might be interesting to go on the low end and overcharge a 22, be a good reminder that even small rounds can be risky if handled wrong.
"Kentucky Balistics: Would You Survive?"..... sounds like a great series to start Scott. Come down here to do a colab with Matt and see if you can blow up some of his stuff too!!!!
This is a great idea for a series!
Are you sure this isn't a Biden Trick to get us to destroy our very own guns? Kind of like how 30% of firearm homicides are suicides.
"Would you survive?" Sponsored by the Clinton campaign.
Bloody hell Scott. You were so bloody lucky to have lived when that round blew up on you.
Keep safe mate.
😎👍
Favorite detail of the video: the bolt kicks up, land back on lower. finishes the intended 'load next round' motion and then realized it needed to be anywhere else.
“Is this something you’d like to see more of?”
Yes
“What guns would you like to see?”
All of them
I believe the correct answer to "What guns would you like to see?" is also...
Yes.
@Bad decisions yes
This would be a very expensive series to keep going, but I love the concept.
Personally, I want to see some handguns. Some generic 1911, Glock 19, maybe throw in a revolver like a Taurus Judge.
Merch makes some serious money. And considering the price of his elephant guns, some reasonably priced guns possibly provided by the gun makers(which youtubers get a lot of) it could easily pay for itself.
Y’know at first I thought the Judge idea was dumb… And then I realized it’s a shotgun and normal pistol, and that would actually be super interesting, particularly with overcharged shotgun rounds first.
This was my thought as well. I would also be interested in what would happen when running some +P or +P+ ammo thru a pistol that isn't designed to handle it. I think .357 mag, .44 mag, and 10mm would be interesting to see. I also wonder if how dangerous a .22 round can be, it would be cool to see over pressured .22 run through semi-auto, revolver, lever action, bolt action, single shot, combi shotgun rifle, go crazy.
Problem is, .50 BMG guns are fairly easy to find, but elephant guns, Not so much.
I am just guessing, but maybe Serbu sponsored these videos. And i can understand why; the initial explosion made Serbu's .50 cal look really bad. These last two videos proves that Serbu's design is just as rugged and safe as the "original" .50 cal - the Barett.
If i was Serbu i would donate both guns, the ammo and probably a decent amount of money for this video. Since its is coming from Kentucky himself, who was the victim of the explosion it carries much more weight. And by letting Kentucky post it it will reach most of those who saw the original video.
If i'm right, good move mr. Serbu - no disrespect intended.
A 40 cal high point with a over charged round please those guns suck but they do well in torture tests I would love to see that
I do also love that these videos went from joke to looking out for your viewers that load ammunition. U can see the phase shift in the later videos looking deep into what happens to the shooter. ❤
I saw some people express curiosity towards blowing up .22 guns. I'm pretty curious about that too, since its such a small and low power round. How much more pressure do you need to blow up a .22 catastrophically? These are questions I never thought I'd ask
I wonder if it's even possible with the case volume without using high explosive or something
Unless you use a faster burning powder not much happens since you can only put so much into a case. Packed a case full once with 22lr on a old single shot bolt gun and it just blew the extractor out along with the back of the case
Well there is many types of .22 ,Lefaucheux cartouche, .22 short, .22 long and .22 long rifle. Velo-Dog and so on. So there might be some of the cases that has potential for high power overcharge. Even some that i do not think you refer to like .22 ergensplitter loudenboomer that most defenetly could have the space for a huge overcharge.
Put a nail gun blank behind a 40 grain pill, thatll blow the chamber on a Henry
Aka don't hotrod 22s with extractor cuts on the barrel
Hey Scott, I reload myself and would like to see overcharged calibers common for hunting (30-06, 6.5, 300 win mag, etc). Great content as always!
If he blows up a Garand I'm unsubscribing. LoL
@@herrcobra4144 Considering the apparent budget

Man, you literally a legend for not only surviving your accident a couple years ago because of your training, but you also magically managed to get that big round casing to land upright first try like it was nothing. 4:42
“…I speak from experience.” [maniacal laughter]
Honestly, I just want to know how Scott manages to walk with balls that enormous.
Scott's balls have grown so heavy, they have collapsed into singularities. It is the only scientific explanation for how something that massive can still fit in his pants.
@@alexserdeliuc8782 This would mean that in theory, Scott's balls are close to .0 inches in size
Wow, Scott! That was astounding. Yes, I'd definitely like to see what "over-charged rounds" do to other firearms. In particular, would you be able to look at re-loading issues when people "hot-load" when they do their own reloading. Also, what about re-manufactured ammo? How safe and/or reliable is it? Thanks for that spectacular display!
“So today.. we’re gonna waste my 10 grand.” Hahahahaha love the channel man you’re awesome, and healing like a champ! God bless you brother keep doing what you do best!🤘🏼
Scott hit us with that .50 brass flip. I still haven't been the same 😂
Hands down I think the best one to overcharge next would be an ak 47. Cheap enough of a gun where you could do multiple examples with different powders usages. Also could give a person a sense of what can happen with all the old surplus ammo that is out there.
Also a great way to make Brandon cry lol
AKs really depend on the type of receiver rather its stamped or milled... You will have completely different experiences I think a stamped would just peel apart at the rivites maby sheer the rivits and just open right up... How ever milled may be completely different
AKs cheap, where?
The US used to drop mags with over powered
7.62 rounds in mags in pstops against Viet Cong
troops. Wonder how accurate you'd be if you
worry your AK is going to exlope on you.
If he's willing to destroy a Barrett then he deserves my subscription. Be safe Scott and I'm curious about overcharged shotgun rounds as well. Are they as devastating as rifle or pistol rounds?
Interesting question! I would assume the effects would be similar but it would be interesting to see considering shells obviously have a slightly different construction than casings. It would also be interesting to see the effects of bird/buck shot being part of that whole scenario
@@joeshmo13 it would end essentially the same way. An obstruction is an obstruction
@@Dr.Spatula Yes I’m sure. I just would like to see if the gun itself (the shotgun) sustains more damage and deformation due to the fact that shotgun shells are usually plastic and therefore will obviously hold up to even less pressures than a brass case would. Just wondering if that extra pressure release translates to more damage on the gun or less due to the pressure instantly releasing
"Way too dirty" is an understatement, "completely destroyed" is the right term
My Father told me to only do things that I can make mistakes at and be able to do them again. He was quite the adventurer. He was a pilot, but not a parachutist. He was always irritated that I have an infinity for big bore guns. I never quite figured it out until your accident of unknowingly hot round. Huge lesson that I should have already known is to load your own when it comes to ammo that has the potential for such mistakes or sabotage resulting in certainty of pressure way beyond what the rest of the design can tolerate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks to your Father for saving your life, as my Father also saved mine a few times it seems.
1 minor detail to remember, the Barrett is Recoil operated, you can see in the slo-mo the barrel going backward slightly which pushes the bolt back, similar to how most modern handguns work. Since it's not Gas Operated, the pressure isn't getting vented at all, which might not be a very good thing in this case! Im super interested though about what other calibers will do in an overcharge! Like 5.56
I would say test it on a GM6 Lynx, as the Long Recoil action is theoretically very safe, but you can buy a house or a new truck for how much one of those cost. Even the magazines cost hundreds of dollars each, LOL. Please don't blow one of those up!
If he blows up a Lynx we're blaming you. He clearly can't be held responsible for his own actions.
Was wondering if anyone else noticed that...
You can't buy a house for 12k.
@@looksirdroids9134 I think he was just being sarcastic
@@looksirdroids9134 My first home was just over 1/3 that (I'm 26 by the way, so I'm not talking "back in the day" prices), it also had 2 air conditioners (technically 3, but 2 normally). Small yes, but decent and I owned it so I could modify it how I wanted. May not have been a mansion, but it was my mancave with all the power tools I could stuff in it.
I’m glad this video was made. Not just for the fun factor of the usual KB shenanigans, but to prove a point about the safety of the RN50. Mark Serbu was given a litany of unwarranted grief for a failure that can and now has happened in any 50 cal rifle. Good on you for making these videos.
this is not the video to prove the safety of the RN50 that video was the orginal that explained just how spicy the round was to cause that to happen ie the orginal video. guns can blow up if they are pushed to far the debate is on what kind of failure is better semis are gonna ballon and throw shrapnel randomly. breach loading on the other hand has less shrapnel but its directional right toward you.
@@aikidodude05 Yes, but the point of it is. It's a big round, going big kaboom, in a big way. Any functional weapon in that situation becomes an incredibly dangerous, design be damned. Basically; the point is firearms are dangerous, and by willingly using them YOU are accepting the risk that something can go wrong. Always have supplies in the unlikely event of a critical injury, and be prepared. Save your breath debating gun failures, for learning to save someone's life if it does happen.
@@justusbladetooth your missing the trees for the forest and yes i said that way on purpose. I didnt want to have to do it but KB test while its a vaild test is very inaccurat because its not simulating actually shouldering to fire essentially the the gun and torso are positioned in a way that the person would be fired at retention which gives a massive target. secondly on inspecting it he said there was damage to the chest and he showed it but he didnt have any shrapnel to dig out and something to note here is that the damage is in a slash and in the slowmo we can see chunks of the gun actually falling against the chest. so was it actually hit or did say part of the barrel ding it when it bounced back into the dummy.
then the shoulder what matters here is the size its tiny compared to what came off the RN50 its the size of your nail were on the RN the pieces were the size of your thumb be cause in failing it will shear off the those big ears and because its a breach loaded its coming straight back toward you.
what people are talking with semi vs breach on failure and safety is that the nature of if a semi auto means that instead of the Directional explosion you get from the RN50 alof ot the power is reduced from the whole bolt and spring making the failure into a grenades instead of a shotgun. Ie your gonna have a bad day but you have a better chance at not at reduced injuries.
@@justusbladetooth iangerous yes but no the design actualy does have an effect again. see when a semi auto/ full auto fails the bolt is designed to move and has a spring so you already have something absorbing some of the blast redirecting it sideways as all that force is going to go the easiest way ie grenade instead of shotgun. breachloaders on the other hand dont have moving parts it has to act like a cannon when it fails it goes off like shot gun everything comes straight back at the shooter.
Im not shiting on breach loaders they are fantasic, im just sick of this well a semi failing would be just as bad a breechloader failure and that's just not true
Love the hoodie definitely gonna have to get it also like the experiment videos
You killed it
Would love seeing this…start off with the “commonly carried” calibers.
I’m so torn. I really don’t want to destroy any firearm, but at the same time I’m immensely fascinated by the catastrophic failures when guns fire with over-powered ammo, wrong ammo, barrel obstructions, etc. it breaks my heart but I can’t look away
Don't worry, only a weapon. Many more can be made!
@@Suffinex If we're talking about modern guns with their carbon optic you are definitely right but imagine Scott would blow up his elephant rifle with the animal engravings on it 😰
Look at the inside of the chamber, looks like rust so I assume that wasn't his Barret and may have had issues beforehand. Not ones that would weaken it but it wasn't a pristine firearm.
@@reptiloidmitglied2930 Damn that sucks. Only a object though...
Should see what happens when you use smokeless powder in a traditional muzzleloader. Can’t just say muzzleloader anymore because there are some smokeless powder muzzleloaders now.
HAHAHA that bullet flip in the ground got me subscribed now!!
Blow up more guns man! Great job.
If you wanna see the explosion happens even slower, toggle the gear icon on the top right of the screen and change the playback speed to 0.25 speed
Alr
You're doing the Lord's work good sir!

@@poiu477 this is 2022. Nobody watches TH-cam on a computer anymore 😊
@@Racecar367 Why would I sit on my bed looking at my phone when I have a $400 computer chair that's hella comfy? y'all are weird. Can't mine crypto on a phone either.
I’ll loan you my M99 for spicy round research purposes.. But I expect an M82a1 as collateral 😎
That sounds a pretty good deal, hopes he accepts it ✌️✌️✌️
I want to know if anyone else is in possession of those loads. Scary thought, too me at least. 😱
The M82 he just finished using??
@@shootthemoon6072 If scott bought the slap rounds from the used market , than i would 100% guarantee more are out there floating around. Exact reason why serbu should recall the rn-50 and change the design or just stop selling a rifle that under bad circumstances will detonate and harm the shooter
@@freekshow0011 Should barret quit selling the m82 for the same reasons?
Barret: let's make a prototype bullpop so you don't have to prone?
Scott: I am the bull I make it pop!
I’m glad you’re alright.
I’m sad to see the semiautomatic Barrett destroyed. But could you do an M95. I have one. And I love it.
But would be curious to see what happens with a bolt one.
i am pretty sure a bolt would have the thing happen as the RN-50, meaning the bolt would violently shoot backwards
I love the fact that Scott laughs about when the Serbu 50 Cal almost killed him. He's a true soldier. Keep up the great content!
Maybe afterwards--gallow's humor!believe me,he did not laugh at that specific time!
Scott: "I wonder what happens to other guns when they're overpressure."
Scott's Guns: "Haha, we're in danger."
Man you are my go to Channel 💯
Man that recoil is fire
Therapist: So how many .50 Cal Rifles have you exploded?
Scott: Good question.
I was totally expecting that .... Looks like Scott is getting unintentional revenge on the .50s
Lol glad that you are still around
Unintentional??? Deliberately loading a substantially overcharged round can barely be considered unintentional!
As for your last statement, I, and I'm sure everyone else here, concur 100%!
that was quick
You are absolutely great Scott and I always follow your nice clips all the way from Iran
0:36
lol he´s more concerned about the gun being dirty than the whole thing exploded
I think you bringing awareness to over charged rounds is amazing. Showing people just how important it is to check their ammo and how dangerous ammo from unknown sources can be. If you havent already saved a persons life because of these videos you definitely will in the future.
100% agreed. It is a great idea to deep dive into this issue.
Always choose carefully the ammo you load on your gun. Could save your life!!
1:33 I love your laugh bro. 🔥👌🏻🤣 Stay Golden!!!
