    I have a story for you, Scott.
    Several years ago I worked in a gunstore, I met a lot of interesting people and heard a lot of stories.
    One day, one of our regulars comes in, all bandaged up, it looked pretty crazy. His story, however, was even more crazy.
    He explained he and one of his buddies had been out shooting on a field, he was using his old Winchester model 70, chambered in .270win.
    His buddy brought a rifle chambered in .308, by now you're probably catching on as to what happened that evening.
    Somehow their ammo had gotten mixed up, and he grabs a round, puts it in his rifle and chambers it.
    The .308 goes right into the chamber of his Winchester Model 70 which was chambered for .270.
    He pulls the trigger and the rifle goes boom.
    Barrel went flying down range, the scope slammed right into his forehead, the left side of the receiver went into his forearm and the rest of the rifle went everywhere else.
    The man calmly explained how he really liked that rifle, and if at all possible, would love to buy another model 70 if we had one.
    He was truly an interesting man, it's honestly people like him that made the hassle of retail work worth it.

    Rather than just using the safety, perhaps it would be even safer to insert the hot load as the 2nd round in the mag, so even if it "just goes off" when you take the safety off, only a normal round would fire. Only problem is you'd have to set up your string to work multiple times in a row. Just a thought

    • @matthewhartup941

    This series has highlighted that it is not just the chamber pressure alone that determines the _severity_ of an overpressure event - it's also the total energy of that overpressure event; The comparatively dinky 5.56 still did substantial damage to the weapon and surroundings even though the test subject fared quite reasonably. Similar was true of the pistol detonations. By comparison, .50 BMG is packing _significant_ energy, as Scott knows first-hand.

    I know grant given it's a hot round versus a squib load, but still knowing what would happen when using a rifle that has a catastrophic failure is important for me. As a Marine, I learned firearm safety not in just handling but remedial actions, which includes knowing when there's a squib load. That being said, it's kinda unavoidable if you happen to have that one hot round. Thank you for posting this one!

Yes, I added pistol powder to my rifle bottle. Thank God only the upper & bolt assembly were trashed. By design, I’ve only have one powder out at a time, but obviously screwed up here. Hopefully, my mistake will help others to avoid a similar fate.

    Scott me and a buddy grouse hunted here in my area. I used a 20 gauge Benelli auto as did he. We purchased them at the same time. He later got a 12 gauge pump to take pheasant hunting up north. We always wore hunting vest with cartridge holders and hunter orange so as to see each other in the thickets, rhododendrons and timber grouse love, (when there were grouse in my area 20 years ago). Anyway he cleaned out his vest, reloaded with 12 gauge and off to shoot clay through from the timber while throughing down a clear cut he went. With another guy. I was not there. He loaded and went through a couple of shells while sliding another into the magazine as the operator of the thrower reloaded. Pulled trigger to nothing!? Thinking he short stroked the action, (which can happen with a pump)he pumped another into the chamber. At the pull of the trigger the shotgun exploded in his face. When he showed the pump to me it looked like a peeled banana. Cutting him up. What had happened was when he snapped the trigger to no shot, he had left a 20 gauge shell in his vest pocket. It went into the chamber far enough to allow the next 12gauge round to chamber and fire on top of the 20gauge shell!
    Lucky he didn't lose his sight, face, hand or arm. The Lord was watching over him that day. It was as if the explosion broke apart things all around his body parts. Maybe you could try this scenario. Not sure but he shot a lot of low brass Winchester AA for clay and Winchester Double X high brass in the 20 gauge hunting. The pump would take 3" or 3½ shells as I remember him making the statement. Again, I was not there, but I have never known Charles to lie to me either. It would make a cool video in my humble opinion.

    I've seen a couple of catastrophic failures with the AR, the inherent design directs the great majority of the blast into the BCG and down the magwell. Pretty much destroys the small parts leaving the lower repairable. In the two incidents I witnessed, no harm to the shooter, no forearm damage, no hand damage, nothing came back into the face. These were normal rounds, failure was determined to be a headspace issue. Those were pretty small blasts compared to your "test".😂

      Some of the guns that were overbuilt to high extent might even survive any possible overpressure rounds you can make using any smokeless powder-based stuff but I would love to see it anyway!
      I used to have an old Forehand&Wadsworth D/A #32 revolver in .32 rimfire and believe it or not but I ended up increasing the load all the way to maximum pressure possible in it's caliber by filling it's whole case capacity with the PETN-laced super-fine and really fast burning smokeless powder and the gun survived even that!So the barrel was just 2.5" and the bullet weight was 100 grains;the bore diameter .316" and case length .800" so basically the round was dimensionally identical to .32 S&W long and the muzzle velocity reached a whopping 2130 fps!So the damn .32 snub nose revolver ended up producing over 1000 fpe which is by the way exactly the same energy as the full sized (18" barrel) AK-74 rifle with ball ammo in 5,45×39mm! Just imagine the recoil by the way: the little sucker kicked like a good .44 magnum should feel!

      There is no casual increments involved here.
      Even in a .223 barrel alot of loads top out at 100% case capacity so if we assume 100% case capacity is max 55k pressure in order to create a 550k psi round you would have to literally compress the powder into a solid and fit 5-10 times more powder than 100% case capacity. Actually I take that back, I don't even think it's possible with the fastest rifle powders meant for .223 and ya he even said it's a squib so I'd bet that round wasn't even capable of blowing up the gun without the obstruction.

    The keltec RDB is probably relatively safe if an similar round was chambered and fired out of it. Since it had a downward ejection and the magazine well to direct the blast. Of course the magazine would still be destroyed along with the bolt and piston.

  • @Alfs_Armory
    @Alfs_Armory Před rokem +21

    My theory is that the destruction occurred primarily downward and laterally due to the bolt being locked into the receiver extension and the squib not allowing gas to get to the gas tube to unlock it. This setup needs to be done twice more. Once with a clear bore, to see if the gas system would prevent some of the damage and once with the lugs shaved off the bolt.

      @KimballPrecisionRifles Před rokem

      500,000 psi is way too much pressure. The bolt would likely not have unlocked before the whole gun exploded anyways, like seen. The pressure is way too high, and way too fast. The powder being used for these loads is waaaay faster than a normal rifle powder, so the pressure builds up incredibly fast. It would explode before the bullet has even moved down the barrel much.

      I can tell ya what not to do when reloading and you get a Hot Round, don't throw it into the melted lead. My dad's friend did this when they were reloading, years before I was born (sometime before 1969), and when he threw that round into the melted lead crucible everyone scattered to a safe distance before it exploded. The crucible had a fair sized hole in it and lead was scattered everywhere. Morals to this story, don't reload while drinking, and if you make a mistake don't throw it into the hot lead crucible. From the guns/rifles we had when I grew up the round was either a .22 LR or a .30 Cal. So a doubled powdered round (at least) round could be quite spectacular, even with only a .22 LR.

I pulled the bullets out of both and dumped all the powder into one case and pressed the bullet back in. Stupid me thought twice the powder = twice the velocity.

      When I was young, I sometimes would pull the lead off a .22 bullet, because you could easily do this with just your fingers, and then put the powder from one into another to double it and put the bullet back in. I fired a couple of these in an old single-shot bolt-action .22 rifle and they made quite a bang, but they didn't do any noticeable damage. It did vent some gas out the breach face and jar the bolt handle up some, and but not all the way open. I never did this with anything stronger because I realized that would be pretty stupid. :)
