Hot, or faulty, ammo is a genuine concern, even if it's rare. Back in 2008, my friend- a Corpsman, quite familiar with firearm safety- lost part of his right ring finger (and damage to his right eye) when some 7.62 x 39mm over pressured/blew apart. The thing of it is, the round which injured him, well, his family had been shooting that same shipment of ammo for well over 10 years. His pops got some hell of deal, on I don't know how many rounds in the early 1990s. So you just never know, be careful lads.

@ianmcnab9534 2 года назад

This shows something even scarier. You, Scott, loaded a round in with the potential of 190000 psi, but it didn't shear the retainer tags off. That means the round that nearly killed you was even hotter.

@EstorilEm 2 года назад

It’s HIGHLY likely that they’re using a higher strength steel and/or slightly different machining process on those parts. I realize it wasn’t the guns fault, but any designer would want to mitigate risk to a reasonable degree after an incident like that.

@nicksouthwell9393 2 года назад

I’m sure that this is a new weapon as well. One without metal fatigue and rounds upon rounds of use. So this one could have just been stronger because it didn’t have as much use. I don’t know how many rounds the one that almost killed Scott had through it. But I’m sure it was more than this one. A normal 50 cal ball round doesn’t pack the punch of a slap round. But it is quite significant. Not saying it was the guns fault because it wasn’t. I think it held up admirably considering…it failed when facing up to 4 times the normal pressure.

@chrisperrien7055 2 года назад

Even regular 50 BMG FMJ/Ball can blow up a gun if something else is wrong, like the head space. I have seen 2 M2''s damaged/blown up from standard 50 BMG

@dcbadger2 2 года назад

Others have said that this gun was different than the one that hurt Scott, both in wear and tear, and in manufacturing, but also realize that a catastrophic failure is a game of chicken. The explosion causes pieces to fail unpredictably, and since he could not find the cap, I think the force of the shot blew it into pieces, one of which shot into the Plexiglas. There were a lot of other factors different, especially since during the incident Scott's upper torso was bracing the gun, whereas here there is nothing holding down the rear of the gun.

@stevenpettiglio8278 2 года назад

@robertf6523 2 года назад

The SLAP rounds are OLD. VERY OLD. And might have also been tampered with. Back when those rounds were new or a lot younger than they are now there were no explosive rifle problems. Now? They're either tampered with or the propellent has changed, somehow broke down, over all these years, so they're MUCH higher chamber pressure than they should be. Kinda like how brand new dynomite is perfectly safe to handle.. but OLD dynomite that has sweat is very unsafe. Explosives are not immune to the effects of time.

This is exactly the type of demonstration needed to show that Serbu's gunsmithing is reliable and safe under normal operations. A freak accident, as Scott said, caused by severely overcharged ammunition that was never an expected operating pressure for the gun. As for those SLAP rounds, whether through weird powder degradation, or through deliberate overcharging...the person selling those needs to stop.

So the real question here is, "Who sold you those rounds and who made/reloaded them."The real scary part is there is no way to know if your box was a one-off or just a small part of a much larger batch that got split up, packaged, and sent out to possibly dozens of other people.

@cgi2002 2 года назад

Thats a scary concept, and tbh I'd not be suprised if the ATF aren't already looking into that as it could be argued to be purposeful sabotage or even an act of terrorism. Similar things have happened before, a good example is the people who put glass in babyfood and put in on shelves in stores at "random", forced the company to recall every single jar to be safe, was a massive FBI investigation for that. Having potentially fatal rounds out in the wild would spread distrust & fear amoung shooters, which could depending who did it and why, be called domestic terrorism.

@@Rltvader1 its been a common tactic in wartime to sabotage enemy munitions by introducing defective ammunition into their supply chain, that program is just one of the more famous ones.

There is even an episode in the reboot of battlestar galactica were they show that the deck crews are having to spend hours sorting through newly produced ammunition for the Vipers because of so many defective rounds been produced.

My man, you are literally one in a million. Thank you for sharing this video. I do believe that most gun explosions nowadays are caused over-pressured ammunition. Too much gunpowder is usually the culprit. 15 years ago I saw the results of a 12 gauge shotgun receiver explosion. It occurred on a trap shooting range. There where are five people standing in their normal positions. An elderly gentleman who reloaded his rounds apparently I managed to put a double load of gunpowder into one shell. He was using only 1 oz of lead shot, what should all be reload to be sealed properly without noticing any problem. Anyhow, the shotguns receiver was ripped open, and pieces of it flew to the right side. Miraculously, no one was injured even though shrapnel did fly outward. This is a 100% true story because I was there. Always be careful when you are reloading ammunition, and try to be as sure as you can that whatever ammunition you are using came from a reputable manufacturer. Stay safe and happy shooting to everybody out there 😇🙏☺️🤩💯.
