I suggested that they should never wash it. Just hose it off so it wouldn't stink.

Apparently I'm old, because I still take my 357 magnum to the range. I thought it was common knowledge that 38 special fires out of a 357 magnum. Since my 357 magnum is an 18.5_oz S&W Scandium frame, titanium cylinder "Mountain Lite", shooting 357 magnum loads start to hurt your hand after awhile. I can shoot about 2 boxes of 50, before my thumb muscle tells me to switch to 38 special. BTW, S&W no longer sells that revolver.

I think I know what’s happening here. The AR blew up because the bullet diameter was larger than the diameter of the barrel. This caused excess pressure, in addition to already being hotter, and that’s why it blew up. But with the shotguns, the diameter of each bullet was smaller than the barrel. So after the initial pressure curve, there would no longer be any friction to hold back the bullet, and all pressure would drop significantly. At least that’s my best guess. Anybody else have some ideas? Edit: grammer

@3ountyhunter

3 ай бұрын

You are correct about the 300BLK. There was no way to let the gasses escape since the 30 cal projectile sealed the barrel. That meant it blew out the case and into the action. Good thing about an AR is when they blow, they normally channel the force out of the magwell and ejection port so the shooter is generally lightly impacted. For the larger rounds, It's not friction. Much like detonating a shell outside of a barrel, if there is nothing to contain the explosion, then the powder won't burn. In this case, since the 50BMG was barely supported by the body of the case and the neck was free floating, then the powder never had enough time to burn. The case gave way and fireformed to the chamber almost immediately. Very little of the powder in either round ever ignited which meant a dramatically lower chamber pressure.

Perhaps you could calculate a rough speed at which the bullet would hit the target for each distance and try to emulate it by loading it with less powder so you can easily take accurate, repeatable shots at short range. Maybe even test how effective different types of armor would be against big caliber rounds at such long ranges. Love your content, take care!

Slight correction. The pressure isn't necessarily slipping past although what pressure does exist will as was evident. The main reason it doesn't explode is because the pressure won't build in the first place. Not to mention shotgun barrels from a decent manufacturer can easily withstand 20k psi.

Personally I quite enjoy shooting my modified Benjamin Bulldog .357. It looks incredibly badass with the buck rail suppressor installed. It's always fun to see the reactions of people at the range when they first see it. And if feels pretty dang Dirty Harry to tell them it's chambered in .357 210 grain slug, 325m/s, good for about 800 Joules of muzzle energy... and all that with a muzzle report of only 87dB.

its honestly surprising and impressive that the 300 blackout round escaped the barrel altogether if yall could have recovered it it was probably nearly 3 inches long after being essentially extruded through a 22 barrel the quality of that barrel is good

Odds are it’s probably left a good amount of material in the gun chamber. I’d say the bullet was a little longer but very little if I had to guess. The others didn’t surprise me. The are higher pressure in a correct chamber but when you increase the space and the bullet doesn’t create friction the pressure is significantly reduced.

First time on this channel. I’m hooked.

I’d like to see if .380 +P would cycle the 9mm pistol. Also, I think the shotguns survived because the excess pressure was able to escape around the sides of the bullet since the bullet is smaller than the barrel inner diameter. The wad usually holds the pressure behind shotgun slugs/shot.

Hey, man, just because your experiment didn't get the expected results doesn't mean you're not a scientist. Science isn't about being right, it's about seeing what happens and recording it; you did both. If anything, that's some of the best science there is. Scientists get fuckin' energized over unexpected results because it's... unexpected. That's still firmly within the realm of good and valuable science.

Neat video guys, thanks! Having worked at a large AR manufacturer years ago, one of my favorite customer-induced failures we'd receive were the guys who fired .300 BK from their 5.56 AR. Of the ones I worked on, the bullets were always still in the barrel, ( though a couple were close to exiting, ) and then a special few individuals figured they could shoot the stuck bullet out of the barrel. DON'T ever do this. The damage to the AR was impressive. The 12ga/.50 test was the most intriguing and impressive.

She stopped yelling yet?

The bore of the 12 gauge shotgun (.727") is obviously much larger than than a 50 cal rifle(.510"). This allows the majority of the gasses to escape around the rifle bullet therefore lowering the internal pressure.

.50 in shotgun Scott : I feel disturbance in the force

I would imagine if you were to put a much weaker recoil spring in a 9mm handgun you may be able to get the .380 ammo to cycle the action and rechamber.

I reload 9mm. I also have a calibration spring set for my 9mm. I'll have to try the lightest recoil spring and load some 9 with a 380 load to see what happens.

Expanding gasses from burning powder do not care where they go, they are just pushing against everything. In the case (pun intended) of the 8mm and the 50 cal, the brass was the easiest thing to push. Once it pushed it into the chamber wall there was an easy route around the bullet and out the bore. Cool stuff.

I watched that barrel flex like gumby. That was amazing.

once a wise said: "if God didn't want me to stick a .50 BMG round into a 12 gauge shotgun, he wouldn't have made the diameters match"

Seeing that .300 fly out of the end of that .22 barrel was unreal. I've heard of squeeze bore guns before but those were made to function as such.

Too bad they didn't have some kind of backstop to catch the bullets for analysis. Like maybe a big old plastic water tank?

Its good to know what your weapon can do in an emergency with no other options.

Truly good dad advice.

The .50 cal in the 12 gauge works without blowing it up usually because the smaller bullet allows propellant gases to squeeze around it and let off a big portion of the pressure.

Best dad advice yet. My first baby is 9 months old now and I've cherished every single minute possible with her. Crazy how having a child changes your outlook on life and what is and isn't important.

5:50 You need to try to trap some of these projectiles. Because the barrel is oversized to the projectile in most of these matchups it is shocking how weak a material will catch the bullet. Spoiler: A 5.56 round when shot out an SKS (7.62x39) will bounce off a plastic water bottle placed 1ft in front of it.

The other point of note, is that manual action (Be it lever, breach loading or pump) are going to also be a lot more anticlimactic if they do get destroyed by a round, if you want an interesting destruction go with gas operation.

I'm going to assume you mean 9mm, because .9mm would be like shooting needles, and I've also never heard of .9mm. Still, that is a great point. Something to think on

So what I have learned is you can use a 410 relatively safely as a rifle. Edit: And a 12. That one was surprising.

Congratulations Micah! Solid dad advice! Very interesting video. Thanks!

I actually expect the shotguns to work since most of the gasses are going around the bullet since the barrel is much larger, allowing alot of the pressure to escape. Hints why it exited the barrel so slow. In the barrel of the right caliber it can't escape from around it causing the pressure to build. The longer the barrel the longer that pressure is behind the projectile causing it to have more fps(go faster).

doing low light shooting years ago, and someone handed me a box of 40 for my 45...I loaded it fired it, it key holes the paper, and one went whizzing past my head when it hit steel at 21', caused a few malfunctions, went through 5 rounds before the drill ended, part of the drill was keeping the firearm running or trying to.

Next I want to see a .41 Rem Mag, a .444 Marlin and a .460 S&W fired in the.410 shotgun.

I'm pretty impressed with that AR. I've seen ARs where the upper receiver split open after a .300blk through a 5.56

Brandon Herrera’s video on specifically 12 gauge shooting .50 does a pretty good explanation of what’s happening. When the round fires the brass fire forms and gives a lot of the gasses that form an avenue to escape without blowing up the gun. If you stick a dedicated barrel for those calibers onto the gun that’s how you turn it into a hand grenade (also a Brandon Herrera video)

@jasonshults368

It isn't just the brass fireforming to the larger chamber that reduces pressure to safe levels. It is the absence of a bore that matches the diameter of the projectile. There is nothing to allow the pressure to build. Smokeless powder isn't explosive, and needs some method of containing pressure in order for it to build.

whoever does your sound needs a raise. that music is so fucking unsettling i love it

Oh thank god, I thought you were going to be shooting the guns yourself. But thankfully you’re smart enough to understand how dangerous this is.
