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. |
Yes, I agree there were unreal forces exerted there. Taking the threads out of the cap is insane and then the added force needed to tear those tabs off had to be off the charts. with the barrel unobstructed, there was a clear path for the explosion out the barrel behind the round and it STILL blew apart with enough force to also take the barrel completely off. That is three points of failure.
