Demo I love you
No homo sir
Dr demo wassup
Mannn please be safe Matt. Sketchy
It's great to see you here Demo sir, I'm a huge fan and I love your content!
It’s grim hey Matt but he’s hard as nails
You’re a beast bro
Truth
Its the big man with the stache.
On no, Daddy Donut is here
Hi
No
I know it’s late and it’s been two years but your dad is a savior
Fr
Agreed
Yessir!
Yea
Nahh His Injuries are still there so we can look at the Health Improvements
bro used up all his life's luck, when the doctor told him "you're lucky to be alive", he MEANT IT.
Grow up mate.
@@deathwish6993 youre the one that should grow up
@@deathwish6993 I don't understand what's wrong with the comment
@@deathwish6993What drugs are you on? There is literally nothing wrong with this comment.
Oh what a lucky man he was.
50 cal blows up on anyone else - dies.
50 cal blows up on Scott - sticks thumb in it and makes a video.
Glad you survived bud!!!!
👊👊👊
Toughest guy i know of!
@@Tactical_Arborist_1776 no joke man.
Hahaha I legit laughed out loud. He definitely gets the ultimate man award.
@@TopShotDustin i think I'd be weighing the rest of my slap rounds for a double charge if I were Scott. Only way I can think of to check for a hot load
What about WistlinDiesel?
Geez. Very happy to hear you're alright Scott. Just put a thumb in it!
He did lol🤣
Love your content Drewski
Alright drew hahaha
Only three comments?
You know my wife says the same thing....
i come back to this video every now and then when he mentions it, and the one thing that terrifies me is how INSTANT it was. in one frame the muzzle flash is still going off, hats gone, glasses gone, and guns already blown apart. so glad your ok after 3 years
it's really hard to watch honestly, but it's a good lesson in gun safety. Don't use sus bullets
Man that last shot was very difficult to watch knowing what is about to happen 😢 I'm so glad you were strong enough to make it to the hospital and also having basic knowledge about how to handle accident ❤
You know what man, really horrible situation but so relived to see you back on camera. Tough SOB...
at leas he survived, glad to see him :'(
Yes lets all pray we didnt lose a great peer on youtube
Get well soon Scott!
For real. Dudes a beast. Props to you brother.
We thought us Texas boys are tough. Kentucky don’t play either
your are 100% right
That's terrifying, man. Holy crap, I'm glad you're doing alright.
Love your vids
Didn’t expect you here, the support from other youtubers is crazy
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?
The fact that you survived this is just incredible. Love your videos and I am so glad you are still on the right side of the dirt.
Exactly three years ago already, im glad you are still going strong!
Glad to still have you around man, .50 BMG is no freaking joke. Get well soon brother ❤️
Couldn’t agree with Brandon more
AK50 testing done by string now^
Be careful my brother
That poor poor man
@@themosinguy6508 If he decided not to, i respect his choice. Dont want to lose a great guy on youtube just because he wanted to please us.
Man, you took it hard... what a crazy turn of events! Your guardian angel had to call a friend to help carry you through that debacle. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. 👍
Lock picking lawyer are you the real one
LPL is a KB fan!?!?!?! What!!
@@nachooo2036 yes but he's late. the mystery is already unlock.
Wasn't expecting mr.LPL
Scott's thumb is an effective security device
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.
Big ups to your dad being on the ball. Glad your still here bro
Absolutely speechless. Wishing you a speedy recovery man.
Preach
Seems like you came up with _something_ to say 👌
Yea you should actually grow a new one for scott
I was the 1000th like
@@muhdbunahmad this gene Sizemore guy isn't the one who supposedly got hurt 👌
Thank God you’re alive man.
So... technically he got shot with a 50Cal at point-blank range?
Thank dumb luck hes alive.
Would've been nice if he prevented the gun from exploding...
докторам тоже
@@antonchigurh9952 not so sure Scott himself would agree with you
I had to come back to this video to appreciate how fortunate you were and be thankful. You are an incredibly humble and talented man, and seeing how well you are doing years from this accident gives me the biggest smile knowing how resilient you are and how much safety you take for your family and friends since then.
We all love you Scott, and we’re grateful to you for the entertainment and personality you share with the world ❤
God must have been with you thru this recovery, I'm glad you ok buddy,thanks God for that
This man sliced his jugular and just stuck his thumb in it like “nah, don’t really feel like dying today”. Truly remarkable he’s alive
Good thing he had training
@@eric3e623 hmm i need training of this nature. what would it be specified as?
@@Eighty30s there isn't any. that is just a dumb comment from a nobody on the internet.
@@kingjoe3rd oh i know i was being sarcastic lmao
@@kingjoe3rd Dude idk what your problem is but i think he was taking about how he use to be an officer, and he was trained to deal with something of that nature really fast he knew to stop the bleeding and apply pressure immediately. I may be wrong but i dont see why you gotta call a random person you dont know a nobody.
Absolutely insane; glad to hear you're well.
Agree. Lucky to be alive.
Dude this guy is literally on CZcams every second of the day.
Thank God, this could have been so much worse...
Certainly insane...
Omg im glad he is ok
THANK YOU LORD
Couple years later and i even though im a 38 year old man and not very many things get to me this video gets me emotional. God bless you brother and supporters like me havnt forgotten your struggles. We love you we love your content you are a legend
you are a real hero. i am watching this video after 2 years later but you are still working for our entertainment this thing motivates me and a grand salute to your father who saved your life .your father is a real life hero .............🙌
What an absolutely insane story, I'm very glad you made it out to tell the tale.
Hey
Lmao look who it is
Never thought i'll find one of my youtubers commenting on a video, this guy is amazing!!!
Hey Freddy ✋🏼
Was not expecting to see you here
I can't be the only one watching this while holding my own neck?
God bless you bro. Glad dad saved your life.
I am now!
Same
Wtf
Naw im on the john
I’m doing the same thing.
Scott, that was one horrific event! I'm very happy to see you discuss it, and also very happy you had the knowledge and composure to mitigate your worst injury. I hope and expect you're still doing well!
I'm so pleased you got through this. You are such a good, decent guy with such good cheer.
Props to dad, first for bringing you into this world, and making sure that you stay here a little longer.
Hopefully a long while longer :)
Why’d you say a little longer lol
@@Xansmist because he wont live forever???
@@pblx1321 bro didn’t mean that long 😂
Absolute fuckin' hero.
I learnt 3 things from this video:
1. Scott is bald
2. Scott is an ex-cop
3. Scott is one tough SOB
Yes
4. He’s a father
5. New merch
He's lucky he's a dad.dads don't break!
Without cops to enforce them, every anti-gun law ever written by polticans would be nothing more than a mere harmless suggestion. Thanks for the heads up so I can unsubscribe. I don't even give those blue costume wearing gun grabbers the time of day, let alone watch their videos.
Y'all just popped up randomly on my feed. Listened to the whole video. Fascinating story telling...Glad you're ok and let me be the first to wish you a happy anniversary !
Lived in Kentucky for 35 years now, i appreciate what you do for our state and a good genuine dude
I understand that it was 2 years ago, but I glad you survived. Your dad is a real hero.
Popularity:
#1 “My 50cal Filleted My Neck”
#2 “Stretch Armstrong”
Well there ARE some similarities in the damage they can take, just sayin’…
He's a pig tho
He lost all his hair from one malfunction!
ong
Dad just doing his job
It’s so heart warming that his dad saved his life, the man who never speaks but is always there.
I cried a bit right there when he shows that it's his dad behind the camera.
Wow I can't believe it's 2 years already but thank God everything was okay. You are a fighter and a survivor Scott!
I’m so sorry this happened to you
I have been wounded several times in the military
Thank god you were able to keep a cool head and fight through to survival
Keep the videos coming
Your great!
The cashier at your local grocery store must miss you. He's probably like "wait, the guy that buys 6 watermelons 8 cinder blocks and 20 cans of shaving cream didn't show up today. Something bad must have happened."
Aaaand EGGPLANTS
And 30 gallons of chocolate pudding, haha!
Hahahahaha
Not to mention the cheese sauce!
"You know who's cheese this is? Not-yo-cheez!" BAM!

Thankfully his dad was there tho
@@SC_2QUICK if you believe in God you’re crazy

Your dad is the best I've ever seen. You're very lucky to have him, and he is very lucky to have you. cherish each other while you can, and always remember how far he's gone for you.
Wisconsin sends all its love to you.
Thank the lord your still here. My respect is through the roof for you. I’m so happy you recovered well!
Your dad is a friggin Super Hero. Man saved your life and got you moving in under a minute.

"you survived a 50 cal shot? how?"
"Not a shot ,but the Gun"
Now that... thats a badass story to tell.
Yay
@@drippy_ash8556 "well someone tried to assassinate me by sabotaging my 50 Cal. As you can tell they failed."

In a way...
The 500 is next.
I guess at the very least you get some kickass scars out of it. All things aside it's good to see you're still with us brother.
Wow! Brother, I am just getting to see your videos and your joyous personality. I feel bad that this happened. I appreciate what you do. From one police officer to another, be safe out there.
I don't even know who this guy is but im so happy he survived this. That was scary af.
I came to watch a 50 cal explode, but for some reason I watched the whole thing....
@@TheQuackBoss me too bro
I don’t know who this is either. But I do know one thing. I would probably be dead if this happened to me. And man is he lucky he survived, good for him.
I imagine the pain meds help a little ^^
factsss
Gets punched in the face by a 50. Shoves his thumb in his neck. Gets a rod jammed through his chest into his lung and the man laughs about it. You sir are a beast. Much respect and support headed your way my friend. May you have a speedy recovery. God bless brother.
found this video after a Doctor on here that I watch, reacted to your this video. Its CRAZY that youre still alive and not only that but the way that you dealt with this is, remarkable. I know this video was from 2 years ago but I hope that the rest of your recovery went well
Wow!!! This is the first I've seen this. God was definitely looking out for you!! Big props to your dad for staying calm and getting you the ambo so quickly!! Glad to see you're doing much better!!
man takes a 85,000PSI solid steel punch to the face, a broken finger, a collapsed lung, and a lacerated jugular and gets out of the hospital in a week. Insane. You're about as tough as they come.
Makes me want to stick to 22 rounds now
@@fenderstrat6519 Makes me want to keep a social distance from guns
@@Real_Mick3y6 makes me want to buy a .50 cal now that everyone’s going to panic sell em
It also shows the progress made in modern medicine…
on second review, mark figures the pressure needed to strip off the cap is in the realm of 130,000psi, not a "mere" 85,000.
Lucky to be alive. Your dad saved your life. Thanks, dad, for being a hero.
His dad is a real one 💯
Most impressive of all is your ATTITUDE. Amazing.
Thanks for all that you do and glad you are still with us!
This is probably the best advertisement for safety glasses I've ever seen.
As SOON as I saw that eyepro go flying I thought "Man. Good thing he was wearing those glasses." They saved his eyes for sure.
Does anyone know the brand of protection glasses he was using?
Safety mask and safety gear maybe?
Motorcycle helmet.
That's an rather good ad to not use guns. No wonder Brazil didn't legalized guns-
Your dad was the most epic battle buddy you could ask for.
🙏 shout out to badass dads.
Seriously, thank God for dad and opposable thumbs!
100% agree. Dads are heroes and Scott is blessed to have him.
Your dad is awesome
And you are a lucky man
yep his dad 100% saved his life, 0% god unfortunately. this isnt me throwing shade or anything, like the videos he makes but i just took slight issue with "god saved me".
Hard to imagine to which it was scarier when it happened, you or your dad.
Happy to see that you survived situation that serious.
Survival instincts 10/10 , to keep your calm in that situation , outstanding. Thanks for telling us your story!
50 cal blew up in your face and within a couple weeks you’re making CZcams videos. Absolute legend. You deserve the best
So glad that you are ok. New to the channel just saw this video. Just happy to see you explaining what happened and not someone else explaining it.
Glad you are still with us and your family. Simply amazing
Imagine being very cut up, broken hand, explaining how you almost lost your life, and still manage to end the video shooting a gun
That's a trooper right there!!
@The Black House not shoot a gun when u just almost died from a gun.
@@Luke_17 the sum of the story is don't buy sketchy ammo
Fair play to your dad for staying cool under pressure, there’s nothing worse than seeing your children get hurt
Yeah FOR REAL, FOR REAL
I agree what a guy his dad is to stay collected during that I couldn’t imagine how I would act if it was one of my kids I hope I would act the same and do everything you could
Respect to your Pops!
I am actually very happy that you have made a full recovery since then. You're a beast!
It’s an Absolute Miracle you’re Alive!! Cherish everyday and Make Sure You Find your Path, You’re still here for a reason 🙏🏻
The medical team that fixed you up are undoubtedly top notch professionals.
I go to vandy for psychiatric treatment, they're some of the best people in their craft. Nashville really has a great health care team at their disposal
That's what years of college do to people XD
Well said sir, no mitological entity saved him! I take my Stetson out for those doctors!!
Nice try Cody, we know its you 😏😂
@no no One thing does not exclude the other, my friend.
Your eyes were saved by your safety glasses and now you've done a priceless service to the public by showing the value of safety glasses. God bless you going forward.
Yeah but he would still have his other eye so that's not too bad...
@@Reth_Hard is this a joke?
@@Reth_Hard Having one eye does kinda suck for the most part. I had my orbital bone blow out fracture and the bone fragments blinded my one eye. It sucks but at least he's getting some vision back
Yeah i learn my lesson with a grinder
@@jecaulford4
When I was a kid I got a tiny point of herpes in the corner of one eye and it was really horrible, I can't imagine how you felt when it heppened..
Praying for quick recovery and thanking God you are here man.
So glad you’re okay in the end. Very scary situation and you were so lucky that day to have such amazing people and a great response time
This guy probably saved his own life by being so calm and thinking fast.
Actually, his dad saved his life by being there.
His thumb is a legend
@@terrenceklaverweide6356 Both statements are true: if either one had panicked (which would have been perfectly understandable under the circumstances) Scott probably wouldn't be here today.
6 minutes in and this is the greatest PSA ever made for wearing eye protection.
Do they sell neck, arm and ear protection?
Honestly if it wasn’t for those glasses he without a question would’ve AT LEAST lost an eye if not half of his skull
Love ya buddy! Glad you just past your 3-year accident anniversary, and i wish you all the success this year man you deserve it !
1. So happy you’re okay. 2. Very emotional to watch but you are brave and super clear 3. Time to focus on kids and family!
I will never again underestimate the importance of safety glasses.
Glad u still here with us God is Good 👍
the same reason my father wears safety glasses all the time
Doesn't help much if the gun explodes collapsing your lung...

@@finlandjourney6065 wont stop that but might stop something lodging itself into your skull so better to wear it then to not

👏🏽
What a real man U Are. You did everything that an average person would never have done. And instantly died. Really like your channel and will always give u full support. From Mizoram India
Can't believe how calm you are talking about all that and the attitude you've taken.
Scott took a 50 bmg exploding in his face and survived, and posted a new vid a couple weeks later, talk about a badass
And might I add, did it while still following all the safety precautions, not like certain youtubers.
shattered the bones around your eye, split your finger apart, sliced your jugular, punctured your right lung, broke your nose and you still walked away, living legend right here. glad you're safe brother
He earned a sub for surviving.
thats not sound like safe guy :p
@@JTKK9 He safe now.
I hope you got well soon from that accident. God bless you Scott!
I just watched your video about the accident. I had to watch it twice because it's astonishing! I'm so thankful that you're doing fine. Take care my friend
This man literally tongue kissed with death, and he’s still one of the most humble, down to earth people on this platform. Praying for a swift recovery my man!
Yo that’s mad sus tho

@@bgemski tounge kissing death lmao
I can mention that it can be worse

Watching him fire the first three rounds, knowing what’s coming, is one of the most fucking terrifying things I’ve ever watched. Glad your okay, big man.
i could not watch ... i hoped i dint see the suffering
exactly, as I was watching I was like, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh....
Hi Josh, I know its been quite a few years. But this compelled me to let you know that it's a miracle you are standing with us. I hope you find your body recovered and your scars healed. I hope you have freedom from the pain and the suffering.
Literally one of the hardest stories I've ever heard. I was a veiwer long before this, and a long time after.
You're a good storyteller for the worse. Not that you're the worst, just that you're the best. We have those haunting worst best memories that haunt us. Things that make us, destroy us, rebuild us.
“...and I focused on my kids”
Made me tear up man, glad your kiddos still have their beast of a father.
Me too!
I read this before I actually heard him say it... and it got me too.
Ya I got chills and tears came out of my eyes
Same here
At least you were smart enough to be wearing protective glasses and didn't lose an eye. Thankfully you survived. That's some traumatic stuff.

I've kind of been working my way up to watching this. It hit me as hard as I expected. It's so great to see how well you are now.
I know this video is years old at this point, but big shoutout to your dad for acting quickly and saving your life. I’m glad you’re still with us buddy 🙏🏼
I just found this video from a different accident video. The thing I see that saved this man's life mostly is the fact that even though he was hit in the face with tremendous force he didn't lose consciousness. If he had been knocked out he would probably be dead. The fact that he wasn't knocked unconscious is amazing in itself.
@@user-fo4ve5fo4z A lot of people wouldn't even think about shoving a thumb in it either. There's a vid circling around of some Asian dude having his jugular artery slashed in a street fight. He collapsed just dozen of seconds later and died.
His training also saved him. Not to mention God's grace and skilled doctors.
His guardian angel was working over time to keep him alive
@@user-fo4ve5fo4z The thing that saved his life was his belief, im confident if he wasnt religious he would have died, there was a million miracles that happened that day for him you cant call it a coincidence
@@WilliamAfton-gn2jhyou're confident in this statement you just made up in your delusional mind
This man literally survived a point blank pipe bomb. What an absolute G. Glad you're ok man we're all looking forward to your awesome future
@Green Mamba Games how many times are you gonna repeat this comment?
╭{⚈︡ ‿ ⚈︠}⤙☞ Him surviving this wasn’t 𝙏𝙃𝙐𝙈𝘽 𝙇𝙐𝘾𝙆...
🤔 Actually....
@Green Mamba Games It wasn't poorly designed at all, the gun was built to withstand upwards of 55k PSI with the threads rated for around 80k psi, he got a Bubbas Pissing Hot reload that produced over 85k psi. The only thing that could have helped would have been some sort of shroud that helped shield the shooter incase it explods but there really isnt any location on the gun to place said shroud. Don't blame the gun blame the ammo.
Glad you're doing well im sorry that happened to you. I couldn't imagine my heart goes out to you and you're family
Even now years later I've to comment > > Extraordinary incident, thanks that you survived and recovered!
Nice, detailed description of the whole process - and of course you very lucky too, with the hospital, the surgery, etc..
Also to mention > you're a real soldier, was conscious the complete time - well done and best wishes!!
Man, safety glasses are really worth the $5 they cost.
Dude ballistic-rated safety glasses are like cockroaches. They will survive the end of the world.
Or you could buy a pair of lead spectacles
You might not be able to see well but fantastic protection!
Anyone know if all Oakleys are eye pro or ballistic pro?
at my dad's work he gets them free so we have so many pairs
This dude should contact the manufacturer and offer up his story as an advertisement!
As a dad myself I can't imagine the horror of seeing your kid potentially dying in front you. Respect to him for not freaking out, you prob would have died if he hadn't been there.
Glad your okay mate.
Once, dad bring him in this world, 2nd time he kept him in. Bravo.
His Pops is a hero. Saved his boy 100%. Dad's are so important to have in your life.
I'm glad you made it through this! You're one tough dude and I'm glad made it through it!
I'm glad you're okay most of all I'm glad you're healing fast keep up the good content be careful for now on no more injuries
Not gonna lie I cried like a baby when he said he just started focusing on his kids.... What a badass and so thankful he is ok!

I almost did
I did too lmao
Me to man, me to.
Same dawg
Im not an emotional person, but when you said you thought about your kids to stay awake, it hit me hard. We are all glad youre still with us.
same
Truth
It did me as well.
Like a kick to the chest when he said that.
I almost cried
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.
Im glad you are recovering well. That was a horrific accident
