      Horrible, absolutely horrible, glad too see you came out of this accident with such trauma. I would also point out for others with similar rifles, to use extra caution, with a threaded chamber lock, if you would experience in case of catastrophic failure, overpressure, the cap threads will shear off and come back to the shooter, obviously is not a good thing/design, now i would imagen every .50 caliber rifle would fail somehow with this kind of pressure, but a standard bolt action rifle would be somewhat safer, were the barrel most likely would rupture or blow and the bolt would stay in place and not come back as most heavy caliber bolt lugs can handle 100k psi without shearing the lugs. On this rifle the cap should definitely not be the weakspot here, it should have been the strongest part on the weapon system. Ones against im glad u came out of this one with your life in behold 🙏🙏Amen

      @@ragnarok5056 that's the thing under normal loads the gun is totally safe this was obviously a freak accident and 80k psi is the breaking point of those threads the way they stripped off and how much damage it did to him it had to of been upwards of 100k psi
      Also i should point out that any gun subjected to a similar event will explode in what ever way it will but yes generally thru the weakest point of the gun as for the barrel exploding that can happen but generally only if the barrel is obstructed my dads a gun smith and has seen damn near everything and let me tell you a bolt might take more than a set of threads but you still don't want to be anywhere near a gun that explodes ive seen personally the top of the chamber that came off of a bolt action and hit a guy in the head not to mention the other parts that went flying basically the guy needed a new arm. its like holding an exploding grenade next to your face now obviously this was not a 50 cal which is what saved that individuals life as the higher the pressures involved the farther and more deadly the shrapnel is its physics

      @@ferrofeles2063 i would almost go as far as call this a safety design flaw for this particular rifle, also on a bolt action you have pressure relief exit hole in the locking chamber, wich will help to some extent, and therefore blow the barrel instead of the action it self, but yes i would belive any .50 rifle would suffer a catastrophic failure for such a hot load, but in a "somewhat" safer manner if we can call it that?

    Just found your channel after getting into gun content again since I'm currently waiting for my first gun to arrive at my lgs, and I've been doing a lot of research to be safe. I watched a bit of your squib load video and read the comments and somebody said something about how fast you healed. I thought the scar was a really old injury so when I read that I had to see what happened. If there was ever someone to be called a legend, madlad, That Guy, or simply "Him", it would be you. Thats a crazy situation, and the fact you held it together, thought of your kids to hold on, and then laugh the whole thing off really speaks to your character.

    Dude, what an amazing story, I met your channel not so long ago. But this, dude, you were hit really badly. You were fit and healthy, that's what kept you alive. Obviously, you didn't give up. Amazing.
