In WWI, Germans did use backwards 7.92mm to fight against armor, but they did also learn that using them would accelerate wear and damage to the rifles themselves so they developed K-bullets to avoid the damage issue. They did come up with the Mauser Tankgewehr m1918 and it did decently against armor. If Scott wants to try using one, He should ask Ian McCollum (He doesn't own one) since Ian has experienced using a Tankgewehr. It is chambered in 13mm.I'd like to see Scott experience shooting the world's first antiarmor rifle.

I was glad to see your comment. I was just coming to comment. Basically the same thing except they also in the trench warfare of world war 1. Soldiers in the trenches used metal plates to hide behind as they put their heads up above the trench. Some soldiers would load their bullets backwards as they learned they could shoot the metal plate which would create spaw on the opposite side damaging or even killing the soldier shooting from behind the steel shield. The reason it is dangerous is because the projectile sits deeper into the casing with the same amount of powder causing excessive pressures. The further the bullet seats, the smaller the space the powder has to burn and the gas is expanding in a smaller area creates much more pressure than a forward facing projectile. But hey a triple A on your comment, I've seen it rather quickly and was happy to see it. Have a super day everybody and keep them coming Kentucky B. Great video, nicely done.

Thats a main reason i watch him! but i love scott im general.

The German 7.92 reversed round with more propellant was used against the Mark I tanks in WW1. Most didn't penetrate the armour but caused spalls to break off the inside causing injuries, the same principle as the HESH rounds of the Challenger II. In June 1917 the K or Kern round was introduced with a tool steel core. These were effective at penetrating the armour but the advantage ended with the introduction of the Mark IV which was up-armoured.

Scott is definitely one of the best at making commercials and advertisements. He's just that persuasive.

Snipers of WW1 used backward bullets as a way of shooting at enemies that were hiding behind metal plating. The theory was when the flat bottom of the bullet hit the metal plate the kinetic energy transfer would cause shrapnel to break off the back of the plate and hit the person behind the plate

Back when I reloaded, we used to load 38 full wadcutters with a hollow base. Turn it around in your 357 case, and you have a all lead hollow point. Load it with a gas check to protect the base of the bullet from leaving so much lead in the barrel, and speed it up a bit with a pinch more magic dust. That made huge holes in squishy things, great for hunting.

Never thought I'd ever see someone destroy more tables than Buffalo Bills fans but Scott here has proven me otherwise. Step up your game Bills fans!

Fun fact about backwards bullets, the first colt walker revolver made in 1846 by Colt, for Captain Walker of the texas rangers. It was a cap and ball pistol. The first rounds created for the gun where cone shaped, which created the issue. Some of the users, who didn’t know any better would load the bullet backwards, which allowed them to put way to much power in the chambers. This ended up in several of the pistols blowing up in the user’s hand, thus they changed the ammo to the usual .44 caliber ball ammunition of the time.

When I carried a S&W Model 36 38 Special 5 shot I reloaded Speer target bullets backwards. Never shot anyone or ballistics gel but they mushroomed real good in soft mud.

I started buying Underwood ammo because of you Just went through 100 .357 Sig jacketed HP and loved it out of my G32

Makes sense that the backwards BMG would make a lot more smoke, and leave a lot more residue in the wound path. With a normal cartridge, the flat back half of the bullet ensures that the bullet leaves the cartridge only after as much of the powder is burned as possible, but with the bullet backwards in the cartridge, the burning powder can escape around the bullet almost as soon as it starts moving.same with all the other rounds, but it's going to be more pronounced with the rifle rounds due to the bullet shape.

Interesting to see this. When I first started reloading, I had bought a bunch of wadcutter .38 and wasnt sure which direction they went. they were not identical ends, so I tested a dozen in each direction and couldnt tell any difference at all, but they were light target loads.

This was pretty neat. I'd like to see something on the accuracy of these (especially the rifle rounds) at a greater distance.

The percussion Colt Walkers often blew up because the bullets were hard to keep straight so the soldiers would turn them point inward, but that would either allow room for too much powder for the metallurgy of the time, or airspace in the cylinder chambers

When the revolver was more commonly carried than semi-auto pistols, it was fairly common that hollow base wadcutter bullets in the .38 Special were loaded backwards. The soft lead and the huge hollow base made a truly nasty round.

If this temptation overcomes your common sense, please remember to load a lighter powder charge. A full charge could cause the hollow base wadcutter to expand in the barrel. Have fun with a super hollow point. Safe shooting

​@@HSmith-uk9hlHave you loaded a hollow based wadcutter upside-down? These are not jacketed bullets just soft lead. What caliber, powder charge, primer and barrel length? What was your results, and target? Not trolling. Don't know how you can't understand what I have said.

I did a few maybe 50 years ago. I don't recall my loads. If you read the old gun writers who were around when I was growing up in the 1940's onward, they often commented on loading a wadcutter backwards for expansion. Handgun bullets in those days were not nearly as good as they are today and generally didn't expand well because the jackets were too thick and/or hard. @@andreipanek1122

What is interesting to see is the difference between common pistol rounds and common rifles rounds in energy, even .223 transfered a lot more energy into the block, at least that is what it looked like.

The trend of loading handgun bullets backward was popularized back in the 70's, when the most common cartridges were the .38 Spl. and the .357 Mag. The most common loadings for those rounds at the time were the "police load" 158 gr. lead semi-wadcutters, and the "target load" 158 gr. hollow-based lead wadcutters. In an attempt to emulate the effects of the relatively new, expensive, and still hard to find semi-jacketed hollow-point bullets, a lot of reloaders decided to cook up their own "defensive" loadings by reversing the hollow-base wadcutter bullet in the casing over a hot powder load. The soft lead bullets made for easy expansion. This was still "a thing" in the mid to late 80's, particularly up here in Canada, where hollowpoint pistol bullets were not widely available, and I had the opportunity to test some of these loads at that time. Test medium was the poor man's standard of the day... stacked water-soaked phone books or magazines. At short range, expansion was actually decent if you got some velocity behind them (approx. > 950 fps), but inconsistent. Penetration, however, was marginal by modern standards. The real downside was that at intermediate to long range, the bullets tended to destabilize in flight, losing any modicum of accuracy. The practice got rather dangerous, given that the cartridge this was most often done with was the .38 Spl. Hot-rodding that cartridge to +P or even light Magnum velocities could get kinda dicey, depending on the revolver you decided to try shooting it from. I saw a couple of small-frame, non-+P-rated snubbies suffer considerable (though fortunately NOT explosive) damage running these loads.

Those ants expecting feeding time, you disappointed them. However the energy of the.50 is just amazing especially the reversed bullet. Would love to see it repeated on steel.

Maybe 0.1% less brave than before but brave nonetheless.

It's amazing to me how Scott gets these rounds to move backward! One thing I would have liked to see is Scott wearing a white lab coat and safety glasses when doing science.

Good post Scott. Nice mixture of humor and firearm experimentation.

@@sloanmagnum5009 So, nearly dying from a firearms accident and then continuing to experiment and test the limits with firearms with no signs of backing down - you wouldn’t say that’s a good example of fearlessness?

The sniff of the .50 got me 😂😂 “that was a stout round”

I dunno who's whining about sponsorships but they make content bigger & better. I'm glad you did the reverse rounds remotely, I was worried af at first 😆 Russians did that with an under water rifle for better stability but you could only fire it so much before it destroyed the barrel.

You should never feel bad about talking about sponsors! We all know how KZread is with gun tubers. Plus you always make it entertaining and funny!

19:19 my 50 cal exploded *again* would make nice clickbait!

Great research, man! Liked and subscribed!

That mother in law statement had me dying

Scott: firing a bullet backwards had got to be one of the most dangerous things we’ve done on this channel. Destroyed 50cal rifle: am I a joke to you?!

Scott. We used to take 158gr. hollow base lead/antimony.38 caliber wad cutters and load them backwards. They were very accurate and still made perfect circles on our paper targets. We would load about 100 rounds each and take our Rossy.357/ .38 special lever action rifles and shoot rats at the local dump. Those rats, would literally explode from being hit by our upside down lead h.p. wad cutters. I still have my old Rossy lever action rifle and out of more than two dozen rifles, I'm never going to sell it to anyone. That little lever action rifle, didn't cost a fortune, but it shoots like a million bucks.

Love your videos man I always look forward to seeing new ones posted keep up the work

17:27 bro that is my fav part like I was dying to it

would like to see pt. 2 of this where Scott calls the Serbu helpline and tries to file a warranty claim :D also... the table destruction exercise was magnificent!

I'm sure it can sometimes be very difficult to come up with fresh ideas and many channels can start to create similar videos. With that said Scott, you continue to bring unique and awesome content. This video was great and your humor with the 50 BMG is funny, but really is a reminder of just how dangerous our fun hobby can be. Great job by you and your Dad. Thanks for a really entertaining and "educational" video. Stay safe and God bless. 🙏👍

I believe that the backwards round was first used in world war 1 to deal with sniper shields, hitting the metal and fragmenting getting through the hole in the shield hopefully catching the sniper in the neck and heavily injuring or killing him.

You are missing the point of the reverse projectile. The Germans started doing it during the trench warfare of ww1 in order to punch through the armor plate that British snipers were hiding behind the reason why the blunt end hitting first would cause the bullet to go through when the pointy end hitting first wouldn't is because of the Munroe effect which is how RPGs work. You are welcome

I'd love to see this revisited with a bit more range between the gun and the gel. I suspect that if you had a few dozen yards between them the bullets would tumble a lot more and open bigger wound channels, but also not fly straight.

Regardless of the direction the projectile is facing.. the bullet still spins in the barrel.. this is what stabilizes the projectile.. and turning it backwards is no different than a flat face or hollow point..
