[@familyfundays2023]

That's actually a great question. I for one would love to see that

[@CreedofDarkness]

Not really, the point of bullpup weaponry is to get similar accuracy and velocities to standard weapons in a more compact package. You can get longer barrels which theoretically get you higher projectile velocities, but that in and of itself does not make a bullpup more "dangerous" than a standard design. This is partially why there is a plethora of ammunition varieties suited to various tasks. *Edit* Guys, I've been made aware, as I explained in a reply to another person, I have younger family members who ask questions like this, so I didn't even bother thinking in context of the video. Sheesh.

I've seen it suggested before that you should slowly ramp up the chamber pressures. It's one thing to see assured destruction, but what about people who get hot reloads that are only slightly over allowable chamber pressures? It'd be nice to see on some guns what to look out for with rounds that would take a few before catastrophic failure, much like your initial 50 blowup with the slap rounds. I have to imagine that some of the rounds fired weakened/strained key parts of your RN50 before it finally gave out.

I would suspect that you'd likely get them to go off more often with cycling the action, as the rounds slammed into the stop at the back of the tube... All in all, not something I would want to try with real ammo. I would think such a thing would be better tested with a dummy cartridge (the type with holes drilled in the sides) that has a live primer. Of course, i would also prefer that such a thin be tested by someone else, because a large rifle primer is pretty energetic when it goes off.

Honestly, I was expecting worse. Even though that rifle is a loss, it held up pretty good.

Luckily, I felt the difference and did a weight check. I actually doubled the powder in a 22-250 Rem round. Again, it felt off and I caught it at the bench. Since then, no distractions: no idle chit chat, no phone calls, no wife, no grandson.

[@bigbore4498]

With 200k psi, I would imagine the results would be similar. But there’s no way to know that without testing it. As well as the bolt and receiver held up (I was impressed), it very well may have just bulged the barrel in front of the receiver. The squib simply ensures failure.

You should do bullpups next. Im sure a catastrophic failure on those guns would probably give your the second worst injuries, 2nd only to the .50 cal.

[@daltonschane7443]

4:55 I actually flinched, first time getting jump scared by a stock explosion 😂

[@MarkoDash]

it would be cool to get a chronograph in front of these to see how much velocity you're getting from these massively overpressure rounds

[@nicolegraves3952]

True, I would l8ke to see that too

[@rojalD]

Probably less velocity, as the explosion's energy can't be contained and directed. If the bullet comes out at all, it will be much slower than a bullet with the intended load. I think i remember, when he made a research video on how his 50cal rifle that exploded he mentioned that as well.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

None, the barrel is obstructed.

[@rojalD]

@@bobbygetsbanned6049 no, it isn't. He just loads a too hot round. Thus stimulating the accident he had. There is no need to obstruct the barrel as the pressure in the chamber is too high and makes the gun explode.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

@@rojalD Dude he said the barrel was squibed which means a bullet was lodged the barrel obstructing it. Pay attention next time.

[@bannankev]

Gonna go out on a Limb and say that if your hand was resting under the gun to hold it steady. You would have some serious injuries to the forearm and hands. I love these Guns Exploding videos and I’m extremely happy you made it out of yours realistically speaking Safe! Nice video as always!

[@PearlJam2k6]

For the further tests, you should try to keep a zombie hand as well to wrap it around the area where you'd normally be holding it. In this case on the foregrip, it would've been really interesting to see what damage one would sustain should it happen.

[@MrTruckerf]

Pretty sure the forward arm would fare about like the wooden foerarm did....blown to pieces.

[@PearlJam2k6]

@@MrTruckerf Yeah but imagine the slo-mo footage though.... :D I mean, Scott's doing this for science after all.

I heavily respect that this man almost died to a gun explosion and made a series documenting how different guns go boom massive props 👍

You got me Scott. I jumped when you loaded the round and then the explosion. I still shook & say to myself dang he got me good.

[@andrewlarimore2350]

Going to be honest that boom when loading the round definitely got me 🤣

[@MrNiccholas]

It's hard to pick what I'd like to see next! But I'd say either a 10 gauge shotgun, or (it physically pains me to suggest this) a 30-06 M1 Garand. My reasoning is both are chambered in calibers that people often reload thus there is a greater chance for error on the reload causing the malfunction.

[@duoblackrose4381]

You do realize they dont make M1 garands anymore right? so blowing one up is an major waste. Blow up an M1A instead. They at least still make those

[@MrNiccholas]

@@duoblackrose4381 that's why it pained me to suggest it! I never thought about the M1A but YES!!! That is SOOOO much better!!! If I had a super nice M1 Garand, I might have purchased it from a close family who is a Vietnam Vet getting older and recognizing he won't be around for that much longer and he doesn't have any kids so he is selling off a good portion of his collection. He might have had a SUPER nice M1 Garand that had a ton of work done to it to upgrade it. A super high end match barrel, the stock is pristine with almost 0 scratches or marks. It had a recoil reduction spring installed in the hole for the cleaning kit. A Kick-Eez pad. Super awesome gun, and it's possible that he had a significant amount of ammo to go with it!

[@smolzillamakes]

It would be interesting to see how an old musket fares against a modern muzzle loader if it was overloaded

[@michiganengineer8621]

I have a suspicion that an ACCURATE reproduction of an old muzzle loader (similar steel and such) wouldn't survive even a normal load with modern muzzle loader powder.

Split the thing like a firecracker in a cork gun. Yep, did that before we got all 'safety regulated.' Somehow I still have all my fingers and toes. Even spent 22 years playing with big things that go boom and boom again 13 miles away. 20K to you decimal measurers.

Man, that hurt to watch, couldn't you get a cheap rifle for this lol. Always great to see you doing these, SAFELY, and demonstrating what could happen in the worst-case scenario. I saw a call for a bullpup, and second that motion, I have wondered myself how bad it could be. As always, stay safe and have a great week.

The original.50 that exploded did.

@@johnwebb7411 firstly, I don't doubt you for a minute👍. How did you find that out because I'd love to read up on it. I'm really interested in the follow up from the manufacturers as well.

[@generalilbis]

@@koolkat5217 Mark Serbu, creator of the RN-50 rifle that Scott was using the day of his accident and other weapons like the BFG-50 (competitor to the Barrett line of semiautomatic .50-cal rifles) and the Serbu Super Shorty compact shotgun, has a series of YT videos about his own study of the weapon remains and ammo casing from the round that blew up. He determined that the round that exploded had the wrong kind of powder inside...pistol-grade that burns faster to allow for lethal velocity out of short barrels, I think. And in too high of a quantity.

At 05:07, I LOVE how you can see the thermal diffraciton of light on the shadows casted on the background. It's not shadows produced by smoke, it's literally the heat out of the gun that change the trajectory of rays of light.

[@freedomfan4272]

I have to admit the opening scene made me LOL and also Scott you got me when loading the gun with the explosion. I jumped😆

[@markfergerson2145]

I suggest you go to the other end of the caliber spectrum and see if a .22 or .25 can be made to suffer similar damage. I'm not sure there's enough energy stored in such small cartridges, but I've never tried it either.

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

Just a thought , in the 22 caliber is the centerfire 223 and several others with high case pressures , but I agree 22 long would be a neat and rather cheap test.

[@onemetallifan5824]

It would be cool to see a Ballistics Dummy Lab hand that is poseable holding the weapon like a real hand. Just to see what the damage would be. Rather than just being placed beside the weapon. Just a suggestion. Great video as always!
