.50 cal. hot round goes boom
I've had a couple of bad experiences with my .69 musket...nowhere near this guys level...but, once bitten twice shy ever since just before the trigger pull. |
Lucky sumbitch :yesnod:
I like the "just put a thumb in it" shirt :D |
Dang. Lots of experience with the ma duece but compared to a 120mm main gun, never respected it like I should have.

I have been following all of Scott's video's over the past year or so. He is very strong, mentality and physically, and it's the only reason he is still with us. It made me sick to see how badly he was hurt!
|
Daaaamn.

I duped your post lol. Sorry bout that but delete seems to work well hahaha :D
Watched that video in .25 speed. This guy is very lucky to be alive. In my worthless opinion if the normal working pressure is 55,000 he experienced far more than the 85000 mentioned. 85k would be around proof testing level and the gun should withstand that. IMO he probably saw something closer to double working pressure (110k). Catastrophic failure depends on design parameters and single shot actions such as his are as strong as it gets. |
Check out this perspective.

Horeeee SheeeeeeT!
He is both unlucky and lucky. God was watching over him.:yesnod: |
Bet he don't fire ammo he doesn't know 100% about again... He's a lucky sum bitch didn't kill him.
|
There's new video regarding the incident.
Shear strength on the threads is calculated to be over 160,000 psi. |
I have NEVER liked the idea of threads holding the breech together on a .50........I have worked all kinds of metal, threads, etc my whole life and I will pass...........had a chance to buy and flip a .50 BMG Anzio Ironworks Corp. pistol....it had threads so I passed
|
Dude is soft in the head. Kept going back to rounds which were behaving oddly even though he admits he had no idea of the origin or history of that ammo. He is truly blessed by God to have survived to tell his story. Dumb as a box of rocks, but blessed.
