[@zyriab5797]

Russian doctrine puts emphasis on the user being his own safety. At least for carbines like AKs. Not saying AK "safety" is shit, tho

[@aritakalo8011]

The proper Russian PG-7V and later variants have proper safety lock outs. launch acceleration activated inertia trigger. Usually these are set with shears way above anything like drop it for few meters, throwing it to ground etc.. We are talking rocket launch G's. With big caveat of, if it is quality made to good spec (foreboding). Not to mention it must be acceleration, not de-acceleration as would be in case of nose hit. After that there is pyrotechnic delay block even. Plus another pyrotechnic self destruct delay, which detonates the rocket after 5 seconds. Here is explanation of it in English from Russian parts cut away images. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXyylKiwfa-Gd6c As one can see the rear detonator of the PG-7 fuse is actually quite complex. Instead of simple "piezo send me current, I just go boom". The *real problem* in the field is the wide spread use of variants and copying of RPG. Meaning _one has no way of knowing what _*_exact_*_ rocket it is one is dealing_ with unless one goes to deep inspection of the rocket. There is so many countries and makers supplying "RPG" rockets in so many basic models and variants one has no way of knowing what one is handling. One might have come across top of the spec Russian production with all the safety bells, really good proper safeties included variant from other country or it is the cheapest copy from some national armory who just wanted "rocket fly, hit, go boom" with only safety being the cap since "soldiers are not supposed to remove the cap before firing". As such the "RPG rocket is a live snake" is a good field rule unless it is ones own rockets one is dealing with knowing and as such knowing exact properties. Handling someone elses RPG round: It could be a proper safe one or *it could be a live snake* of a cheap round, only thing protecting you is that cap. Since as I understand.... that safety circuit and detonator is rather sizeable part of the cost of the round given how simple the rocket otherwise is. Leave it safeties out and boy can one crank out the rockets fast and cheap.

[@mweston25]

Before people start saying RPGs have to travel a certain distance before they are active that isn’t 100% true. It depends on the variant the older don’t have a kinetic switch the piezoelectric crystals are connected directly to the detonator, so are always live, the only safety feature was the bakelite cap. The variants that had Kinetic switches also had a nitrocellulose”safety” fuse, so if the rocket were fired the fuse ignites which would result in the warhead self destructing in 8-10 seconds so not to leave UXO around the battlefield, the problem was the fuse would ignite whether the booster charge or rocket motor did or didn’t so you could end up with a dud in the tube which could detonate in 8-10 seconds, and that’s if it was stored correctly extremes of heat and time can cause the fuse to crack and crumble increasing the surface area that burns reducing the burn time, I have seen RPGs air burst 2-3 seconds after leaving the tube.

Nailed the explanation, thanks for clearing that up for some of these commenters!

[@mweston25]

@@BrandonHerrera I’m honoured a reply from the AK Guy Himself.

[@ExperiencesAndEquipment]

I would like to add that some variants are supposed to disarm when the fins get pulled back. If you ever see something like an MRAP with the net around it. From what I've understood they tend to disarm the RPG.

[@ChevTecGroup]

Yep. Tell people that all the time! Thanks for the detailed explanation

[@mweston25]

@@ExperiencesAndEquipment do you mean the Bar armour? If so that’s shorting the warhead out/ stoping the crystals from crushing. It shorts the warhead as there are two cones at the front of the warhead, the outer is aluminium the inner is copper, the inner is used to transfer the electrical charge to the detonator but when the two cones are in contact the electrical charge is distributed through out the whole rocket and doesn’t have the necessary amperage to detonate the warhead, but this doesn’t negate the safety fuse. I can’t say I have ever seen any nets of vehicles to capture RPGs but to be fair it was 2009 when I was in Afghanistan.

Well, that was more based on where he got hit. There is a great video by a doctor talking about his injuries and treatment. He was hit in the vein not the artery. The artery is what take blood too where it needs to go, is powered by small muscles, and thus tend to spray then stop. Veins take blood to the heart to be reoxygenated. It is just thin walls tissue, powered by the pressure in the system, and thus tend to bleed slowly but never stop. TL;DR The artery starts it, and the veins won't stop.

7:26 "The infamous 300 Blackout sneaking into a 5.56 magazine" True story: My dad bought an AR-15 and went to Bass Pro shop to get some 5.56 so he could shoot it. There was a bucket o' bullets of 300 blackout mixed in with the 5.56, so the guy at Bass Pro, not knowing that someone had placed a 300 blackout bucket with 5.56, grabbed two buckets for my dad and my dad bought them without thinking about it as he had no reason to suspect anything was wrong and he didn't take a close look at the buckets. Fast forward to when we go to shoot it and my dad lets me take the first shots with it and it jams, eject the round, load the next, and this happens 3 more times. So my dad takes it to shoot it to see if there was just something wrong with what I was doing and that's when it exploded. THANKFULLY, the only shrapnel was from the casing which a small cut on his face and the side of his stomach. My dad had to get the receiver and barrell slightly fixed, but that was about it. We now own a 5.56 receiver and a 300 receiver so we can shoot both.

[@charliecharliewhiskey9403]

I knew a guy who when on tour in Afghan ended a patrol, opened a pouch and found a de-pinned nade in it. Didn't go off because the pouch kept the safety lever in place. Pin had gone under the grenade, so they apparently took the pin out of another nade and re-pinned it so they could pull it out of the pouch, and chucked both grenades at the UXO pile. Only thing that was really preventing it going off during patrol was velcro; if they'd had contact and he'd gone to ground hard he'd probably be gone today. Sometimes no matter how careful you are you'll still have bad luck with stuff.

most of the "so many, the vast majority of not Russian guns" were a fraction of a hairs breath from killing the user. The Russian moniker you use seems meaningless excuse. The plane fact is that most guns mean a large explosive force way to close to the organ that makes you -you. Even incredibly educated and responsible habits and practices can result in a catastrophic and deadly outcome. Besides the fact that a home defense firearm is statistically almost zero chance of being used honestly in home defense of you or your family. If ever being fired towards a living being results in tragedy. Every legitimate and honest statistic since they have been tracked shows the opposite of home or self defense. If i home firearm ever injures or kills a living being, it's going to be the gun owner, a member of his family, or a friend of the family. the statistics aren't even kinda close. The difference is large enough that you might as well play the various lotteries. winning big and having a tragic incadent, whether accident or instantly and horribly regrettable crime of passion or fear. Firearms statistically can only be used as responsibly as dangerous toys or hobby. Used with the same kind care and safety concerns that it takes to responsibly own and enjoy a racecar, aircraft, or explosives. Guns are fun as hell., but the truth is the truth. Statistically your gun if ever injuring or killing someone , will be you, friends, or family.

Now I slowed the video down and did not see muzzle flash , but did see chamber flash. Now there is 2 things. 1) The sabot is plastic and the barrel gets very hot! causing the plastic to melt and leave plastic build-up in the barrel that can cause the next bullet to get stuck or slow down so much increasing the pressure and blow the rifle chamber. 2) SLAP rounds are SABOT bullets and the books state SLAP rounds must not be used in rifles that have muzzle brakes , Compensators or silencers that is not designed to handle SLAP SABOT bullets. As the plastic gets jammed in the muzzle brake or silencer and the next bullet will get jammed and cause damage to the gun and or shooter. His rifle does have a muzzle brake...

There is a 3rd possible cause and its divided up in 2 sections. 3.1 it was a factory reload fault or age or the bullet causing explosive detonation for over load or powder fault. 3.2 the sabot was too far forward not allowing for a jump caused by a reloading fault in the factory or the shell was too long causing the shell to grip the bullet causing when chambered that will both increase the chamber pressure and blow up the chamber. I have seen both 3.1 and 3.2 in 243 and 7x57 that blew out the back of the shell and primer , but being a 50cal with higher pressures that could blow up the chamber. I'm not saying I know what happened but these are the only logical explanations I can see with the video footage I've seen without having the barrel and chamber parts all sent in for analysis.

My dad had a Colt Frontier model .38-40 with half a cylinder and no top strap. He said that back in the days of old, when he was younger and unattached, he and a friend were target shooting. They had reloading materials and tools handy, so they were reloading after they ran out of live ammunition. However, they eventually ran out of powder as well. So, being creative, discharged Marines, they decided to put a little dynamite in the cartridge and see how well that worked. Dad said he pulled the trigger and the round in the chamber blew up, removing the top strap, while the two other dyna-reloads detonated sympathetically, finishing the job on the cylinder.

[@dananisko7792]

For those who wonder, a word from Russian guy that knows his weapons: there is no "safety cap" on RPG rounds. The system is somewhat more complicated: for it to be able to go off, you need to shoot it out of the RPG. Then the timer starts, and only after some time it sets the initiating charge on. This is done in order to prevent soldiers from accidentally blowing themselves up after firing an RPG right below them or in some object that is nearby. Unless the initiative charge is on, you can pretty much play rugby with those rounds, they do not give a slightest fuck about it. So yes, technically he could shove it in the concrete as hard as he pleases. But I can only imagine how fucked up he would be by his sergeant if this took place in regular armed forces. At least if what he is holding in his hands is an RPG-7, in which case, nevertheless fine gentleman in the video have said another way, it HAS to fly for approximately 2.5-18 meters before electronic detonator even starts working. EDIT: For those of you who wonder I might actually attach a link to a pdf on Basics Of Firearm Operation for RPG-7, where it is clearly stated so, and it is an official document from manufacturers which is supplied to the army with RPG-7 and any other gun in order to teach privates how to safely operate it and perform basic service of their weapon EDIT 2: the link (CYRILLIC TEXT INSIDE, SUKA) sayga12.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/manual_rpg.pdf EDIT 3: page 65, При выстреле начинается и на расстоянии 2,5-18 м от дульного среза ствола заканчивается взведение взрывателя, при котором движок перемещается в боевое положение и происходит включение электродетонатора в элек-трическую цепь (рис. 40): головная часть взрывателя с пьезоэлементом- внутренняя цепь гранаты - донная часть взрывателя с электродетонатором - внешняя цепь гранаты - головная часть взрывателя. Roughly transtales as: after shot process of activation of initiator begins, which ends approximately 2.5-18 meters away from launcher, setting electronic detonator armed and added in detonation circuit.

[@staringgasmask]

Despite all the safety measures, it's basic knowledge that you shouldn't toy around with live ammo, especially explosives. Even if the safety is extremely reliable, you should still treat it extremely carefully. After all, you don't see many people playing rugby with a warhead.

[@LiquidForce142]

I've never been through the guts of the warhead/fuze, but I believe it uses a piezo crystal, correct? I imagine there is an escapement in the fuze that is activated when adequate acceleration and duration are applied to the projectile. The motion of escapement would either move the explosive train in-line, or close some sort of circuit associated with the piezo if the energetics are already in line (I have no idea if there an equivalent to MIL-STD 1316 in Russia). Any further knowledge would be appreciated.

Two: yes, Polish people are just built different.

​@@tbone9803 Much like America there's two completely different cultures living in the same country, I'd argue it's even more exacerbated in Canada. You got the rural folks who are into guns, many of them also hunters, trappers, fishermen, etc... These people are generally what you think of when you think Canadian stereotypes, if you want to see the kind of folk I referring to check out "William Larkham Jr", standard smalltown lifestyle here. Then you got the rest of the country that lives in urbanized areas who are much more akin to American bay-area folk, insufferable. Unfortunately for us, it's just a few tiny pieces of Ontario and Quebec that decide the election, and we don't have any good choices anyway. Our "conservative" party is basically like the democrats in the US, and the "liberal" party is borderline communist, really sad stuff.

I nearly earned myself a Darwin award a few years back when I was putting a pistol back on its holster. I had my phone in my one hand so I pressed the holster against my stomach and slid the weapon in facing myself. Fortunately the gun didn't have a round in the chamber thanks to making sure the gun is clear, I also didn't have any fingers on the trigger that could have popped anything off. But a few seconds after I realized what I had done I just sat down and thought to myself about how dumb I am.

My friend almost won an award with my head awhile back. When I got to hia house, he was sitting on his bed cleaning an AR15, I even asked this dumbass "that's unloaded right?", to which he called me an asshole and said "of course" So i sat down on the chair across the room, directly to his left.....where the barrel was pointed..... and 5 minutes into the conversation the gun goes off, and shoots through the dresser and wall less then a foot away and at eye-level. I just picked up my things and walked home, other than the time I was almost killed by a shortbus, that's the closest Ive been to an instant-death situation

It is absurd to do a 21 gun salute or the Polish equivalent with a semi auto rifle, no blank adapter, in a tight formation, manually cycling the rifle because, there is no blank adaptor installed. What could go wrong? The guy who lost his hat is lucky that he didn't suffer an injury even with blanks.

A buddy of mine was setting up to load his own rounds, when the phone rang. He got up to go get his phone, and as he passed by his large encyclopedia/manual, the “wind-wake“ from his movements caused his manual to flip over one page… going from specs to load a rifle round to a pistol round. The page layout was basically identical to the correct page and with his not sitting down and looking at the top of the page to make sure he was still looking at rifle round specs, he loaded his rifle brass with pistol “powder“. If the Smith had used a different breach (other than the mouser breach for this custom rifle), that first round would have ended his life. I’m glad your buddy is still here.

[@timothym2241]

He is a complete idiot if he didnt immediately identify that the powder was for a pistol. Are you telling us he never used that powder previously in his pistol and recognized it as such? I think the story is BS.

[@embrezar]

It's so scary that even an experienced shooter such as Scott can suffer such a major catastrophic failure. Fortunately, due to his quick action and other fortuitous things, he was able to get the treatment he needed to survive. Glad that he is back making videos again, fully mended from his injuries. I hope everyone out there stays safe, best wishes to you all.

[@ChiefMac59]

He had a muzzle break and shooting SLAP rounds. That is a big big no-no. The plastic shroud from the sabot can stick in the muzzle break and the next shot will have double the back pressure

[@embrezar]

@@ChiefMac59 oh dang, that sounds super dangerous. I know next to nothing about guns: different ammo types, calibers, whatever. For example, when I bought my handgun during the peak of the ammo shortage a few years back, I was able to actually find ammo.... I thought it was a great thing. Turns out that because they are steel cased rounds, not only can I not use them at any local gun range, but the rounds are bad for the weapon's rifling and even potentially dangerous as they are prone to jamming. So I bought 200 rounds of ammo I can never use simply due to ignorance. Thank you for your explanation about why such a catastrophic problem occurred, it's now one more gun thing I know.

[@Hello454World]

​@ChiefMac59 he literally said the barrel was clear when the gun detonated. This is why it's important to pay attention to the small details.

While in Afghanistan, we took the admin girls to the range and one of them did the hot brass dance when the casing landed between her double D's.

When I was at the police academy in 1989, we used Beretta 92’s- and they ALWAYS threw hot brass exactly where the next person was standing. Every officer got shower with hot brass for thousands of rounds. They told us it built character and taught us how to block out what’s important from what’s not important. Qualifying in the winter, we learned to like the hot brass.
