The way it perfectly symmetrically split is just testament to the manufacturing precision of that gun, very impressive! You'd expect it to be more uneven.

[@MimiThomaFlwrs]

You’re prolly right but it could also just be a situation where the geometry of the slide itself requires significantly less energy to split down the middle than ad-hoc.

[@EllAntares]

@@MimiThomaFlwrs which could be by design. For example a certain .50 handgun designed prior to that by a British engineer would explode backwards due to design of, well, sliding barrel. Here design intentionally got a weaker area on top and forward middle

[@Jirekianu]

The symmetry of the failure is really amazing. It actually is likely a testament to how well made the gun is. Because if there were defects in the quality of the material or it's manufacturing. The catastrophic failure would have revealed them as energy takes the path of least resistance.

That slo-mo is fascinating. The rear of the slide is so beefy that it simply refuses to move and blocks basically all the shrapnel from going in the direction of the shooter.

I shocked when that explosion came 😂😂😂😂

[@alucardonus]

I have a theory... The super high pressure was what saved life of this head. Everything was SO fast that barrel went flying before it had a chance to unlock locking lugs to send that slide back into its face. You can see the locking lugs are bent out and slide didnt even move an inch. With lesser pressure, there would be unlocking and a slide would've fly straight into its face but without it even moving, it shielded almost all fragments and i'd consider this a ,,minor injuries'' considering the load and energies (if it had glasses ofc). The other things are the hands. With good grip of it as YOU have, the thumbs will be gone, minced, the other fingers, shielded under the gun would have minor laterations and mid burns. Total result? Two obliterated thumbs, minor laterations of hands and face, mid burns of fingers, fucked up glasses. I have no idea what about wirst and forearm bones, but it looks like there werent much forces going back and up at all, it all was just the pull on the locking lugs and bulging. I Really wanna see the faliure with pressures still allowing gun to unlock. THAT would be FAR more devastating.

100% this one! I once shot an old 32 special lever action loaded with 30-30 Winchester ammo cuz somebody said you could do that. The overpressure partly self cocked itself cause the lever to fly halfway down and bruising some of my fingers. 0/10 would not do again. Had a gunsmith looked at it and he said it was fine. But the action already had a problem before I shot the 3030 round through it.

[@Chroniclerope]

Hey Scott, you probably know about the story of special ops sabotaging 7.62x39 ammo by replacing the gunpowder with -C4-. Could you get a certified demolitions expert and Brandon Hererra for an episode to show that on an AK? Edit: Thanks to the comments below. It was project Eldest Son and was a shock sensitive powder. However, I’d still find it interesting to see the effects of a case rigged with C4 and able to detonate.

[@stitchieRAWR]

There's probably a very good reason why they wouldn't do this.... Because it wouldn't do anything, c4 can only be detonated via an electrical charge, you could shoot it, throw it at wall, set it on fire... Hell, put it in a damn microwave and it still wouldn't detonate. Sorry to say but whatever this story about "special ops" using it to replace gunpowder to sabotage ammo is basically unicorn shut

[@cecilking3727]

A primer won't detonate c4,so there's that

[@Hikari_Sakurai]

OMG I'd loooove to see that.

try dynamite, it'll probably do. If not, flash powder wills purely deflagrate with a primer strike

Woah, that corn syrup slow-mo was super interesting! The giant guns are definitely fun and spectacular, but what I'm curious about is what a small gun would do when fed some spicy ammo. Something like a Ruger 10-22. The gun is obviously smaller and thus not as strong as something like your .50 BMG but at the same time, the round is also tiny so there's only so much spice you can pack into it. I wonder if there's a tipping point where the case becomes too small to fit enough explosives to destroy the gun?

[@krzymajik]

@kentucky ballistics this^

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

.22 is a pretty high pressure round for it's size surprisingly and they're really overbuilt. You'd probably have to feed it a shell loaded with a pretty brissant primary explosive to blow one up. Something along the lines of lead azide. Just refilling the shell with that and reseating the bullet is something I'd want to do remotely because of the risk of detonation from friction. It could definitely be done though if Scott got together with someone with an explosives license. He could do a video on spiked ammo like has been seen in Vietnam, Iraq, and Syria.

"Pardon me - do you have any Gray Gluepon?" In all seriousness, the fact that the failure was so absolutely symmetrical says a LOT about the precision of the machining of the Deagle's parts.

[@Sue_Me_Too]

Right? I was impressed. I still think the DE is kind of a joke, but it's good to know there's quality work backing up the price tag.

[@Direwolf13PS3]

Its interesting to see that the design fails 'forward' instead of throwing the rear slide section in your face.

[@shadowxneo]

ive been binge watching these videos all day. the way the DE detonated, if i were the designer, i would probably be 'very' pleased, in seeing the largest amount of debris going AWAY from the shooter. from a physics standpoint, that is taking a large amount of the force out of the equation, like a crumple zone in a car. the most injuries i would be worried about would be burns to the hand from the venting gasses, like some of the injuries i know of from holding a 500 magnum wrong. and that is just a normal round. i would consider the DE a 'very' well designed gun. beyond impressive. almost as impressive as starting with the 50 cal video exploding, and seeing scott's recovery and attitude. *salute*

[@bastiannenke9613]

Firing half the gun towards the enemy in case of a emergency seems actually like a really good failure mode. Increases the stopping power for the last shot by a few percent.

[@willdrivesu7914]

Would have been interesting to see what it would have done to a target dummy, xD

[@codykostrova3629]

I’m not sure how you’d do it but I’ve heard that one of the most dangerous gun failures comes from old 30-30 (or other calibers) lever actions. Apparently the rounds in the under barrel tube can strike the primer of the round in front of it when the gun experiences recoil. Maybe drill out the point of a dummy round and put a firing pin in it? I’ve never met anyone who had this malfunction happen to them but I’ve heard it from a couple old timers. Maybe someone in the comments can confirm or bust the myth. Maybe they used to make lever ammo more pointy?

[@TheDragon975]

Thats why tube fed firearms have to have rounded projectiles. They knew that back then, why don't we understand that now?

[@andrewamann2821]

The only way that can even be feasible is if you're using something like a Spitzer or other pointed bullet (spire point, etc...), And I'm not sure if you can actually get something like that to properly feed through the action without actively trying to be that stupid.

[@jordanpinto9687]

They have tested this before on other channels. It is very unlikely that a round would have enough force to set off the primer of the round in front of it.

[@userPrehistoricman]

@@jordanpinto9687 but what if it did?

[@doughesson]

Newer ammunition intended for lever action tube magazines have polymer tipped bullets to better absorb the recoil impulse & not chain fire the other rounds.

I'd like to see a video comparing catastrophic failures of gas operated rifles with barrel obstructions in front of and behind the gas port. Theoretically as long as gas gets to the piston then you ought to be able to extract and eject the shell, but it could deform and lock in place during over-pressurization.

That split on the barrel gave me a flashback of the catastrophic failure I experiences with an M9 in 2007 Navy Basic Training. Live fire marksman qualifications. Kicked weird, saw a black blur, looked down and only saw a bullet sticking out of the handle. NO slide. Yeah that happened. And this really made me remember that. Definitely nerve wracking.

[@The_Keeper]

Yikes. Thats a definite "brown pants" moment.

[@Terra-Quattuor]

@@The_Keeper I was more in shock and awe. I called a training time out, GM1 comes over "what the h-E-Double-Hockeysticks is it now recruit?!" I just calmly reply "That ain't gonna fire, GM1." yells out "How in the he**?!" Takes the busted gun, moment later, hands me a new one "Hurry and catch up with the rest of your ship!" I finish my rounds, and go back. RDC Comes by an hour later "heard you had a malfunction." Yes Petty Officer. "funniest thing today". Other shipmates who got the pleasure of reloading magazines for the live fire talked about it. GM1 came in "Recruits I'm going to show you a malfunction you will probably never see in your life again" drops the shredded gun down, their jaws hit the ground. the GM never said who it was. Shipmates were talking like "I hope that dude is okay. I turn beat red (by this time we were back in our 'ship barracks' "yeah, I'm okay" They gave the look 'of course it was YOU!'.... I tended to be rather accident prone to things that were not supposed to happen.

These massive weapons exploding is great... but I've always wondered what would happen to popular sidearms and rifles like an AR-15/AK-47 or a Glock 17/19?

Scott should invest in one or two extra slow-mo cameras so that when he's experimenting, like with this video, he should place the extra cameras farther to capture some extra footage that he's not risking to view physically; to determine just how far some pieces flew away or what was the overall impact.
