Mmmm yes, this does give me the Big Iron…

The coolest shot in this whole video was the barrel hovering in mid-air after the table got smashed.

I love that he turned a bad accident into an amazing series.

It's pretty crazy that the lower receiver was able to stop the bolt carrier dead in it's tracks and redirect it forward with that catastrophic of a failure. You did damn good Mr Stoner!

What would you like to see tested next? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

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.

Love that at 7:05 the BCG is just like, "Woops gotta pick up the next round!"

The water sprayer killed me 🤣🤣🤣

The explosion gets me every time even though I'm expecting half the time

dude every one of these videos makes me have to give you mad props man. i mean you took a neardeath experience and turned it into a series..

God the relief when I saw the intro thought I was about to see the Kentucky thumb back in action 👍

Sooooo glad the good, good folks @ Vanderbilt were able to ' Six Million Dollar Man ' , You back together--- YOU Sir came back to keep dominating ALL the firearms channels.

The table throwing will never get old. Love you Scott!

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.

Bob's Big Boomsticks I love it! And then he asked "you're gonna blow it up aren't ya?"

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

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!

Bob and the spray bottle 😂 I would absolutely buy my firearms from Bob's Big Boomsticks! Great video, as always!

Nobody has more respect for guns that are about to blow up than Kentucky Balistics. mad respect and glad you are still with us Scott after the first major gun go boom incident

This also happens when a 300blk is fed into a 5.56. Yes it will chamber as it forces the bullet into the case upon chambering. Be extra careful not to mix your ammo.

Love how he is just owning the fact that, he almost died to catastrophic failure from a gun, and kinda made it his thing now to do it on purpose, in a somewhat safe environment.

This series is amazing. Every episode has been top notch. Thank you so much for putting in the time, effort and money to do this. Lots of us appreciate it tremendously 👍

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.

I was so relieved when Scott took off the Vortex AMG optic before blowing up the rifle. haha

You make me proud to be from Kentucky, keep up the fun and educational videos!

My Cabbages! Every time, I see Scott demolish cabbages I hear the cry from Avater the last air bender. Also, really cool to see, how a catastrophic failure on an ar15 looks. That barrel looked really messed up. Thank you Scott, for being entertaining and informative at the same time. Greetings from Germany.

I once managed to have a 300blk go off in a 5.56 upper. All the pressure went out the mag well as well, after first splitting the bottom of the bolt carrier. The upper came out completely unscathed and is still perfectly functional. The lower got a slight bow to the mag well but also works just fine. I did get a cool looking copper tube heat formed to the neck of what was left of the case. The lead core of the bullet shot out the barrel and left the jacket 😂

The more this guy does the more I like his content. Keep smashing and acting goofy Scott. You the man!

Anyone else get the feeling that this guy is keeping the folding table industry in operation single handedly.

Been watching Scott for a while, and seeing him go from more serious, to more goofy and having fun with himself, has been great to see

6:45 *My entire argument when somebody uses 🤓*

Bob finally busted out the spray bottle 😂😂😂

One of my sons, Ethan, had his M4 blow up when he was in Korea during the missile crisis. Luckily he was relatively uninjured and photos of his blown up rifle are now used in the training manuals

i laughed so hard at the dealer character, absolutely funny.

😂 awesome introduction, Thank you for your channel, keep them coming.

What I like the most about this series is when you go gradualy up to se at what point the gun fails. Slightly hotter round each time. Can't remember if you blew up a leveraction yet, if not it's time!

Scott, the intros to your videos keep getting better and better. Thank you for the laughs my guy 🤘💀

Just when I thought you couldn't be anymore awesome, you go and totally redeem yourself 🤣

I think that a bulpup explosion test would be interesting, considering the chamber is much much closer to the face i am curious to see how a tavor, mdrx, AUG,(do we really need to test a keltec) would hold up to failure. i hope that one of those is in the works, havent seen a bulpup catastrophically fail

Would love to see these tests without a squib. An over pressure failure would be much more likely than both. But I know you kinda only get one go at blowing it up and you want a proper boom. Thanks again Scott

I don't know what I loved more, the intro or the bad jokes. Either way I friggin' loved it

Best one yet! And it shows again why the AR is such a good design

Way late but that’s the first time I’ve seen the forward assist actually utilized. I guess hot rounds need a little extra help. I absolutely love how this is Scott’s new mission.

The quality of your content has gotten so impressive over the last couple years!

I didn't come across your video until after Thanksgiving; but I'm now subscribed and ready for Christmas 🤣

Im curious to know now, just what an after market optic would look like after such an event

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".😂

Hey Scott, With that much force going downward, I imagine it would set off any rounds if they were loaded in the mag. That would be interesting to experiment with if you wanted to retry this again! Thanks for being safe and have a great day!

That is the funniest opening of all time. Discourage yourself with a spray bottle 🤣 plus tons of puns 👍

Big boy throwing around stuff and making things go boom. Perfect.

The barrel hovering in mid air was excellent. That rifle actually had a true free floating barrel if only for a brief moment post rifle destruction/table collapse. Pretty cool 😎.

I lost it when Bob started spraying you with water "No means no!" 🤣

Best skit yet 😂😂😂😂 amazing content my man

Scott's local produce dealer won't have to worry about going under.

Scott I think you should get another AR and get a bunch of rounds that gradually increase in pressure until damage happens. That would be awesome to see.

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.

The humor just keeps getting better. Skeleton hands had me rolling

you actually make me laugh your comedy is actually good 💀

See this would never have happened to an AK, I hear Brandon’s AK50 can take slap rounds all day 😂, love the series dude keep them up

I love how you swapped the guns!!!! Anyone else notice that it changed to a Ruger 556 instead of the one he was shooting which was a Palmetto state armory

Funny and informative. Great work Scott. Stay safe brother.

That opening made me actually laugh out loud 🤣

I love your videos man! Always entertaining!

Scott, I often compliment, and always like, you're videos because I think they're really good. I've been around since before 1m subs and this one was truly exceptional. Your talking was like a well written script, especially with a great series of puns. You're table work seemed especially on point, as well as your shooting seemed a little smoother and faster... can't forget about another great intro. If only you would have had a nicer day going for you, I can't imagine this video being any better. Keep up the great work, you are an awesome dude!

Scott: You never fail to make me laugh! Thanks for all the time and work you spend. Dean

Frankly, yes the forearms were missing, but the overall destruction was pretty safe all things considered.

Sure glad I’m able to fast forward and get to the point!

You are an example of turning a life changing event into a life lesson. These videos are are entertaining and informative at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

This man goes though more tables than the WWE does. Love this channel.

8:40 when the peice fell out Scott's face was priceless 😭

The skits at the beginning always make me laugh 😂 That AR froze in mid air 😂. Pukka slow-mo

You know the explosion is coming but it's still funny every time

seeing that the weatherby mark v is considred the strongest bolt action receiver in the world it would be cool to see a destrucive test on that, great video scott, keep it up.

That has to be the funniest Bob’s Boom Sticks intro by far I watched it 3 times. Scott if you read this the peck pop NO was fantastic I was rolling lol

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.

Thought he was gonna do it at 6:28 but totally caught me off guard at 6:33 I love it😂😂

This is hands down an educational video. You teach us with explosive results. I definitely need to give you a hand on this one.

I love that I have the exact same spray bottle for my cat lol

10:23 that last slo mo was awesome 10 out of 10

Scott, do you keep the firearm pieces from these experiments? It would be funny to give them to Brandon and see if he can make a Franken-gun out of what is left.

Watching these guns explode brings back a very scary memory in my childhood. Very informative! It happened to my dad when I was around five, I’ll never forget that image.

Love that you're still having fun with all this. (Me too)

I think it would be cool to see an episode of this series focusing on super hot, overpowered small caliber rounds like 22lr, 22 mag, 25 acp, 5.7x28, etc… I wonder if you could make those small rounds high-pressured enough to edit anything

Fantastic. Keep them coming Scott, much appreciated. Love the gun "testing"..

One of the funniest intros you have produced. Great video as usual sir

That intro lmao. I want to see a large revolver of some kind have a catastrophic failure in a future video, maybe a .44 magnum or larger.

I’d be curious to see incremental increases in powder charges (for reloading) to see how much you’d have to over load it before bad things happen with different calibers.

Why does watching Scott throw things never get old?

Hey Scott. Love the videos. I watched the AR15 destruction video and curious what they put in that load that busted it. I’m a reloader and was curious about bullet weight, powder type etc. The Squibb probably didn’t help…. Keep them coming!!!

"if your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough"

HEY SCOTT!! Love ALL your videos ! You make the Ultimate MAN content!! Keep up the good work!!

This series is amazing! Maybe do a lever action next🤔?

This man never seems to not put a smile on my face

i laughed so gosh darn hard when he said sodastructive XD

Whats your thoughts on maybe doing a "exploding" Ak-47 or a revolver maybe even a elephant gun of some type next? amazing edits and content! missed watermelon time on this one much love!

You should test the old 5.56 in a .223 chamber. How many rounds will it take to get to the center of an ar15???

the water sprayer... had me laughing

10:23 I like how the barrel levitated for a few seconds lmao

I love how Scott puts on safety glasses and then proceeds to hide behind a massive truck lol
