After his accident, you’re so serious about safety that even the dummy wears safety glasses. Hard core.
Gotta protect the ky legend 🙏
So if he's so concerned about safety, what about when the bullet comes down? Can't stay up forever
@@adamfisher9529 the amount of power that is behind that bullet is gonna be comparatively negligible. It won’t hurt anything coming back down. The blast is sent in every direction rather than being concentrated behind the bullet. The fact that the bullet didn’t even penetrate the skull at point blank range shows you obviously weren’t paying attention and/or didn’t watch at all.
Don't blame him if I had a accident like that I would do the same thing.
@@JnJ2008rnr what accident
My condolences to Scooter’s family, that was a big blast
I have a paper:)
Here lies Scooter. He was an idiot.

I like how Scott ducks for cover behind a truck with two feet of ground clearance 😂
My thoughts exactly.
Lol like there's two massive wheels you could have as cover for your legs, knowing Scott he'll hit the femoral artery 😂
so his legs get blown off.. better than his last chest and face injury!
Sometimes he uses the truck for better cover.
Sometimes he doesn't.
I guess since his neck was hit last time he is only worried about his neck.
When he gets a casing in his shin, then he will get behind the front wheel and use both wheels and the engine for cover.
I was thinking, where those bullets land, that were pointed up?
Let’s all take a moment and appreciate the $700 in ammo Scott went through for today’s video😊
far more, 700$ in just nitro express rounds 😂
@@skylerwicks3323 I'm sorry, sir, but this 'Murica. The dollar sign goes before the number. Don't ask why, just shoot it!

How much is a 700 nitro round single?
@@michael69419 Starting at $50 on up...
When Scott held up a 9mm round, I thought it was a .22 bullet because of how buff his hands are😂
He hands are so buff, each of his fingers look like mini Jean Claude Van Damme’s.
Same!
I thought I was the only one who thought that
One of these rare times when others agree with me -)
Scott’s hands are so buff that each one of his fingers has a bicep.
My brothers did a similar "test" in the mid 1960's with 22 shells and a vise. Story was oldest brother had a sore on his face and told Dad he fell on the gravel. It festered and Dad extracted part of the brass 22 case from Bill's cheek. It seems Bill and Ralph were pulling bullets from 22 shells because they ran out of pellets for the pellet gun. Bill said he tightened the vise a little too much and the shell blew up. My brothers set a let of precedents I couldn't live up to. RIP Bill, you lived to 67 years old.
Lol
Goofy aah brother still playing with 22's when he was 67

The fact that you can joke about your injury...damn, man. Inspiring. Thanks for all the great content!
3:04 "That makes my neck itch." - Glad Scott has sense of humor about that unfortunate event.
During my studies for PhD in thermodynamics and kinetic energy, we often used the Doritos test. It was by far the most accurate medium for capturing data.
Well done.
Hahaha 🤣 This had me laughing out loud 🤣 😆 😂
And also the tastiest medium by far
Also known to cause cancer in the state of Commiefornia....just like everything that has ever been made by man, according to them.
I remember when Mythbusters covered this, more often than not the casing was more dangerous than the bullet since it had more mass on average.
Possibly has something to do with the shape of the casing acting almost like a nozzle, becoming a mini rocket engine.
And man, that little doodad you were using to set them off was really flying along with the larger casings.
That laugh after every round detonating is priceless! Thanks for making such awesome content!
@@text4577 how do i do this?hahaha first time I've won anything outside a school grounds
Scott has again proven, that the difference between science and goofing around is to write it down or record it.
Quite interesting to see, what could happen, if a round goes off outside the chamber. And two nice new additions to Scott's collection of caught bullets. Really cool experiment.
Greetings from Germany.
Half of science is messing around haha
Science just consists of making a semi educated guess at what's going to happen and trying it.
That said the backyardscientist channel literally makes me want to slit my wrists because this mf calls the absolute dumbest sht Science and like he can totally do thay but it just bugs me so much because it's essentially click bait Science without any actual Science.
But hey he makes way more money than me so what do I know.
things that keep mee hooked on scott's channel:
1. the skits
2. the table launching
3. everything else
NACHO CHEESE
I'm a little surprised that Scott had the reactor pointing skyward. Especially with some of those larger rounds. 'What goes up...' and all that it entails.
Working as an RSO at a gun range I’ve actually seen this exact thing happen before, twice, both times were when someone dropped their magazine while reloading. Their mags both had metal feed lips and it smacked the primer at the right angle and set the bullet off that was still in the tray on the bench.
Ive shot at a few competitions, and RO have an incredibly dangerous job! Not to bad with trained shooters but definitely around the untrained and unskilled.

Amazing, I would think that such a thing would be extremely rare. I guess Murphy’s law is in full effect.
@@MrChevelle83 for sure. Like I’m 100% pro gun and anyone should be able to buy whatever gun they want. but I’m not completely against making there be some sort of firearm safety class before you can go out and buy a gun with some of the people I’ve seen on the deck.
“Makes my neck itch” made me laugh pretty hard, glad you’re still around to make jokes 😂
Someone coming brand new to this channel probably gets so confused about all the running jokes. We got going on, love it so much.
"Ooooh, a guy shooting guns, this should be fun to watch!"

"Why was that man dressed as a T Rex?"
Safety Message "Only a few neighbors were harmed in this video" 😂🤣
What goes up... Must come down... Somewhere 🤷🏻♂️
My dad grew up near Jackson, KY. I always knew when I was doing something wrong as he would walk up and say “what you doing Goofbutt”. I have the same reaction whenever I watch Scott.
I really love Scott's sense of humor. Even after all this time he almost bit the dust.... he can still joke about his injury and it's still just as funny as the first. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t respond to the comment! It’s a bot.

Scott described himself so well there near the end... "Covered in tarter sauce and shredded"!
Thanks for these, Scott. My boys and I truly enjoy your videos, so much so that the youngest one recently started one school presentation with “What’s up everybody? My name is Colt and you’re going to watch me talk about...”

I love the fact your son is named Colt, do you have one called Samuel?
This made me want to learn more on why different rounds have different burn rates for their powder, and why they require their barrels in order to burn properly. Likely something simple, but still fascinating after watching two 700 Nitros practically squib.
burn rate is probably tied to barrel length, pistol powders can't take ages to burn so they dump all the gas at the beginning creating a huge pressure spike and rifle can take a while to build, but if the gas stops expanding while the round is in the chamber the friction would probably slow it down.
Mark Serbu did a great breakdown of powder burn rates in one of his videos on Scott's RN-50 accident
You have to have something to hold pressure to build pressure.
Thats what you are really doing with a gun is building pressure to send the bullet out of the barrel.
I am not a reloader so I haven't studied burn rates much.
But the different rates do effect the pressure and the pressure curve.
To get high velocities in rifles it's much safer and more consistent to use slower burning powder that has the same average pressure curve over time (barrel length) as a fast burning powder that spikes really high at first.
The others explained it well. So say you have a soda bottle right? When it's closed (bullet still in the barrel) it still builds pressure. The bottle is hard. But when the cap is off (bullet has exited the barrel) the bottle becomes squishy because there's nothing to keep the pressure anymore.
Say the bottle is taller with everything else being the same. Less likely to overflow (complete powder burn) or shorter, more likely to overflow (incomplete powder burn). Powder burn makes the gas so in this case the soda is the powder and the barrel length is how tall the bottle is. You want as much soda as you can fit without overflowing it (trying to match powder burn to barrel length).
Also since it has to be lit by the rest of the powder, once it's clear of the barrel it isn't likely to burn and isn't useful for propelling the bullet. Since pistols have short barrels they can't really have powder that burns slow or a lot will be wasted. But if you have powder that burns fast it doesn't get thrown out of the barrel
Barrel lenght and bullet weight, mostly.
Short barrels (like the ones common on pistols) need a powder that burns really fast or you end up just wasting all that potential energy as muzzle blast and unburnt powder out the muzzle, but this causes very fast pressure spikes (comparative to the same quantity of slower powder).
Heavier bullets are harder to get moving fast (inertia) so a longer barrel gives you more distance to work it up to speed, but that requires a slower powder to ensure that you don't prematurely burn all the powder before you reach the end of the barrel (which can squib the round) or cause an initial pressure spike before the bullet gets moving (which causes a "stick a thumb in it" situation).
Lots of science, but it boils down to "whats the best way to move it?"
If you only have 1 foot to move an orange, a quick short punch may be the best way.
But of you have 3 foot to move a bowling ball, a slower moving push will get you better results with less chance of injury than a punch (dont punch bowling balls please).
Ok, I am 1:48 in and my first thought is, "dude, you had a fifty blow up in your face and you survived. You then proceeded to recreate the event with the same gun, and several other guns. You are all that is man. You have nothing to prove. You don't need rounds popping off without barrels to direct them in a safe direction...away from you."
Let's see how this goes.
Edit: Ok, the vid is over. All I can say is that went so much better than I feared at the beginning. Great vid. I especially liked how that zombie got re-tartar-ed by that 2x4 at the end.
Thanks for the entertainment and I look forward to what you have in store for 2023.
Lol'd at "that makes my neck itch"...gallows humor is the best humor. Also when you couch to pull the string you expose your crotch under the truck towards the blast aint nobody putting a thumb down there Scot.
We need to see more of the Tactical T-Rex
This man blows up like $800 worth of ammo for science and still has budget left for tables 😂. That's called dedication and production value!
Love how he shooting straight up definitely safe lmao
Did you see the bullet lodged in the dummy skull? Rounds that size, with so little velocity, probably went 100 feet in the air, if that. Physics.
That was different, i was surprised by the 700 nitro, but i guess that's a slower burning powder combined with a thicker case wall. I always look forward to seeing Kentucky Ballistics
Would be interesting to see each round that you use for your “When Guns Go Boom” series used in this type of way. Normal round compared to the more powerful equivalent.
That would be really interesting
Poor Scooter😞 Happy new year, Scott!
You caught me off guard with, that makes my neck itch. 😆 🤣 😂
"Now, for safety, I'm gonna stand behind my truck" crouches down... I can almost see the firing stand from below his truck.
😁 I don't think you're as safe crouched behind that beast as you could be.
I love the skits you do for the openings
Thanks for all the great content
Excited for the new year
Love your vids man
You had a perfect opportunity to say AW TARTER SAUCE when you made the mess
I think Scott knows more about bullets than where he lives.
6:21 when a girl says she loves boys who live dangerous
Absolutely love your imaginative intros Scott. Thanks for bringing us enjoyment and educational videos
When that tartar sauce erupted into arching ropes of gizzum I couldn’t help but 😊 smile
First time I feel like I’m part of the world hearing the news about the brass case ignited the live rounds then hearing it here. Awesome.
This video is done very well. I was surprised of some of the results. Scott, you have very good eyes finding those bullets and casings. Hope you and your family had a great holiday season
I would like to see a comparison video between the .416 Rigby and the .577 Tyrannosaur if you get the chance sometime. They both seem to be deep penetrating powerhouses.
The round going off inside the tarter sauce was fun to watch ide definitely enjoy seeing how much explosive power other rounds have in a similar test
This is a vid that I've been wanting for ages
Crazy how much of a difference the varying powders make.
" According to the Tartar sauce" is my new favorite deductive statement
Scott, looks at bullet shrapnel,

Happy New Year Scott! This video was super interesting. I learned some very useful information. How the rounds responded without a barrel is crazy. Thanks for being the Scientist and, testing this in your lab. Keep this great content coming, Scott?
The creativity is just as smashing as the gunpowder! Keetpthem blasting!
I think that slow-mo with the 2x4 at the end is brutal, in a cool way... thats what I think. 10/10 Cave-men approve!!
As a fellow Kentuckian, that was a great video, thank you again Scott for helping people learn about firearms and firearm safety!
Oh my god you’re kidding me lmaoooooo
Hi Scott! Loving blessings to you and your family for this year! Don’t worry, next year there will be blessings also!
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank your father for being your camera man so diligently and it seems Scott was given your strength. I haven’t forgotten of course, it must not have been easy to go through what the both of you that day at the range went through. I guess Our Father in Heaven wasn’t ready yet to receive Scot as he still has so many hearts to conquer here via this channel! I love you guys! Keep up the fun work.
By the way Scott, has anyone told you that at the moment you are to pull the trigger, you look exactly like your father…. When you take your power stance for example.
Till we meet! Yes, when He returns of course.
👍
Scott never fails to entertain.
I like how the 577 case unraveled it self from the zip tie and still had momentum to keep spinning.
Your content is unrivaled love how you always have the right amount of humor to science ratio..
You and Scooter are a great team 🤣
The Slowmo guys did something like this recently, by using a tiny rim fire fire bullet to set off the firing pin of a 9mm. It didn't go anywhere. The bullet popped, and it just sort of rolled away.
No pressure in a barrel, no distance I guess.
Scott is an ammo scientist…..outstanding
Lately, you’re the only channel I watch on CZcams when I go to watch TV I turn on CZcams I watched two or three of your videos it’s amazing. Lots of fun.
I was really getting anxious that you weren't going to eat some of those Doritos. Way to keep the suspense going. Very Hitchcockian.
Thank you for bringing so much fun to ballistics! 👍🇺🇸🐊
00 buck tossed into a bonfire left me with a third nipple. It really comes down to circumstance. Kinda like this one CZcamsr I know that had to stick a thumb in it to save his life ;) love you Scott
the shell hitting tha primer, was like throwing screws into insulation board and it looks like Rambo! lol great zombie heads!
Scott, I like all of your videos. However, I really liked this one! Thanks for continuing to produce great content!
So nice of Scott to take advantage of the nice weather we've been having in Kentucky to go out and feed the critters.😆
Scooter is my favorite character
SAFETY FIRST. Good job my man!
Never seen this happened in first person but knowing it could happen anytime to anyone my heart always skips a beat if I see a live round fall out or get dropped from a high point. I've seen people drop ammo before or even toss a whole box on a table and told them don't do that please it could go off.
So you are Scott and the people are Scooter.
i love this channel so much, its not like the others, not so serious, gets to the point faster, epic content, and epic dude
Darwin award for having rounds going off towards the sky.
God bless you Scott and all your experiments
7:02 Doesn't seem to be too lethal?? What about the skull cracking right through the middle?
One of the best slow motion shots yet!!!! EPIC
Welp, when the tartar sauce blew, the captions said "thank you", and frankly, Scott, I agree with them. That was amazing.
Shocking how trivial the payload of a bullet is when it's not directed by a chamber/barrel.
Relative to its size, definitely.
@@DinnerForkTongue yeah I mean compared to the damage of the bullet from the rifle. I still wouldn't want to be standing next to any of these when they cooked off.
Happy new year Scott! Just a suggestion, have you ever thought about making a video to show how different gun powders perform? Something along the lines of what would happen if you loaded a .338 Lapua with shotgun powder. Not sure how you would do it without destroying guns, but it would make for an interesting video. Just a suggestion. As always, keep up the awesome videos.

At 9:32 if you look closely it appears the entire cartridge was SOMEHOW intact and was like, good bye, and left the scene with the bolt reactor?????😂
Watching that 700 nitro casing go flying was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
Scoot never disappoints
I tried something similar in my early/pre teens, but with a slightly more primitive setup, and very different outcome. My friends and I found some 7mm and 9mm shells in a small community trash dump (yes, we played in the dump.) We put the 7mm shells in a hole in the bottom of an upside down grille and hit the primer. They must have been duds, because it was a very anti-climactic report (primer only?) Well, not knowing the reality, we assumed the rounds needed to be in a gun to go boom. I soon sound out this was not the case when I tied the 9mm rounds. I stuck the bullet in a hole that fit perfectly so the casing was sticking out. I used an old file for a firing pin and random chunk of cast iron as a hammer. The result was pretty violent, and a piece of the casing must have severed something in my wrist, because it was spurting blood as we made the arduous journey back home (wasn't bad enough to get my thumb in it, but certainly warranted a death grip around my wrist), all the while trying to come up with a story to explain to my mom why my wrist was squirting and my jacket sleeves were bloody up to the elbows.
I just love that you can laugh about your injury and quite literally almost dying. I love it
“That makes my neck itch.” 😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting results. Apparently, the powder is the main factor in determining what happens to these rounds if they go off outside of a firearm, etc.. It was surprising to see the video of the 9mm round that went off at the range from an expelled shell casing. But, it seems like common sense to keep your box of ammo closed when shooting in the general area of the box of ammo.
Curious what safety concerns you factored in by launching the various bullets directly into the air and determining it was safe to do so. As the old saying goes "what goes up, must come down..." and with the 1000 grain bullet being over 1/8th of a pound (1/8=.12 lbs while 1000 grains=.14 lbs) thats a lot of lead coming down who knows how far away.
Eh if no one complains no one got hurt
Back in 2004, Mythbusters did an episode where they used a .22LR as a fuse, and managed to get it to fire. The bullet ended up on the table next to the fuse block. Since then, a number of people have fired bare cartridges and determined that the bullet has very little velocity. (Basically, it has a near zero length "barrel".) I'd be surprised if that 1000gr bullet made it 10 feet high. I'd be more worried about the shrapnel from the brass.
But you do have a point. Scott should have a proper shelter for when he does these, um, dangerous experiments. Hiding behind his truck, his legs are exposed. A "bus shelter" type structure, made out of 3/4" plywood, should do the trick.
Crazy that a round could go off being hit by a case.
Popping off loose big game rounds CAN'T be cheap! Looking forward to your 2023 vids! Stay safe and watch yer 6.
