The Worst Internet Gun Fails #4 - The Darwin Awards by Brandon Herrera | Bosses React 

No, he did die and was resurrected so that to this day we may be blessed with weekly gun content! Ian, 19-11: "blessed is he who possesses the holy ammo crate of Antioch"

@@jamesnell7224 Ian came back three days later.

that guy died in memes multiple times xD

@@jamesnell7224 He returned with a functional G11 and a crate of 7.65 French Longue rounds. 😂😂

Perhaps we should recommend some Forgotten Weapon videos...

Shouldn't it be "whose" instead of "who's"? English isn't my native language.

@@misantrope6267 yes you are correct, who’s stands for “who is/ who has” and whose shows possession of the topic being spoke of, so yes since it was his gun it should’ve been whose Typically I smack down grammar nazis on the internet but try to help those who say English isn’t their native language, hope this helped

Also recommend his follow up My .50 Cal Exploded AGAIN, where he tries to safely recreate his accident.

@@misantrope6267 I gotchu 😉

@@privatepoggers6817 Thank you :D

i believe he meantioned it during the actual episode, this ones just out of context because its been clipped...

Some rpgs can be set off because they don’t have an arm distance though

Wrong. The 5 meters is the distance where rocket engine engages and fins pop up. Primer activates, but its 98% fizzle unless the grenade travels 25 meters (It's actually speed based, so add ± 1 meter for weather conditions, initial powder motor condition and build precision). There are also two classes of grenades with VERY different weight. The oldies are 2-2.6kg and use one type of powder charge. The latter versions (Different tandem/thermobaric configurations) utilize heavier charge since they weight 4.5kg. Shooting the grenade with the wrong charge will most likely result in malfunction. For heavy grenade with light charge, you typically see the first head in the tandem going off, but primary charge fizzles. Thermobarics can go off, but minimal range increases (Rocket engine needs to build speed sufficient to trigger the fuse). If it fails, the head typically splashes and the liquid explosives spill. SHIT IS TOXIC, DON'T BREATHE IT IN. Ignite it from safe distance, let it burn. For light grenade with heavy charge, you typically see delayed detonation. Warhead get squished and detonates in suboptimal configuration, resulting in HEAT warhead acting more like HE one. In Ukraine war, light grenades sometimes seen with either extinguishers (Filled with extra thermite) or extra grenades (Be it hand grenades, underbarrel grenades or even submunitions from cluster shells) taped on to compensate for disrepancies and to make the scope useful again for precise shots.

@@burningsinner1132 Since there are so many different types and manufactures of RPG rounds I would be very careful about describing the safety mechanisms of the weapon. Just because one country’s or maker puts an arming delay on one doesn’t mean that the next country maker or round type does

@@shawnmiller4781 Except that bulk of them sell these to the people who used to the old ones. To keep these customers as long standing ones manufacturers typically try to copy all the handling quirks. It's not an apple phone market where you can call users luddits and still keep them.

Yeah SLAP rounds are no joke, shooting a SLAP round is basically like rolling the dice when you shoot it from your .50bmg rifle, you pray it shoots forward and not backwards, although it would have helped if he used a semi-auto though especially when shooting those extra spicy .50bmg rounds, those things create too much pressure for a breech loading single shot rifle like the RN-50, like Brandon said when you have a semi-auto action with buffer tubes and springs it can help mitigate the force and pressure from the round so that at least it doesn't completely shoots your brain out

I ran across this in the weirdest way this week. Cataclysm is a roguelike tile video game, a lot like Dwarf Fortress - It has guns. A Remington .223 wouldn't accept my Nato 5.56 "AR-15 Bullet" - I was like "Huh, why? It's in a STANAG-mag." On further inspection: Haha, no. .223 is a weaker round. _My Cataclysm character knew it was a bad idea when I didn't!_ Still, in a few updates, I hope you can load overpowered ammo, and the game dicerolls the expected consequences :D

@@JoshSweetvale also ontop of that, 5.56 cartridge is just a smidge longer than .223. I'm talkin theyre so close you'd have to put em together and look hard to see the difference in length, but it's enough so that you cant properly load 5.56 in a gun chambered in .223, but you can load & shoot .223 out of a gun chambered for 5.56

If I remember correctly from that video, it wasn't that the ammo was too powerful for the rifle, it's that the ammo was overloaded and had been tampered with before he received it. Average .50BMG is 55,000 PSI and the round he fired was found to have produced at least 85,000 PSI. The round shouldn't have been shot from any rifle, not specifically the RN-50.

@@housecat6183 They (Serbu and KB) later figured out that the round actually produced around 180,000 psi.

i prefer the german name tbh "panzer faust" aka "tank fist" it doesnt get better then that

@@vhaelen326 The panzerfaust hits harder due to being a shape charge. The rpg is primarily shrapnel, rather than pure high explosive energy.

@@ShaggyRogers1 i know, i was purely talking about the name

@@vhaelen326 Yeah, and I was just pointing out why it is quite literally just hitting a tank with a fist of high explosives.

@@ShaggyRogers1 fair enough

I can get behind this

Exactly. The consequences or should say the ramifications of a ballot from an election can last for decades. “Elections have consequences.” -Barack Obama

Cool to know :D

Handheld AT grenade launcher, to be precise.

Or as we say in Czech "Strč prst skrz krk"

The first rule of gun safety is to have fun.

The blast going out the mag well doesn't really tell you anything about what caused the explosion, since that will happen regardless. Bad ammo would be my guess there too though, since the other way you get failures like that is bore obstructions, and if the round before had been a squib it wouldn't have cycled the action.

@@WJS774 Oh yeah, good point. Any detonation is going to exit that way cos it's a weak spot. I hadn't thought of that when I made the comment.

Yeah... nobody said you have to _die_ to get a Darwin Award. You just have to remove your ability to reproduce... man, some people are just fuckin' stupid.

Very fine

What?

@@spaceageGecko kit was bitching about how most Americans shouldn’t have guns and this guy’s calling him out for being just objectively wrong

@@spaceageGecko he is calling out the Marine guy (who swore to protect the US constitution, including all admendments) for saying some people shouldn't have the right to own and bear arms.

It is important to note that those SLAP rounds were presented to Scott as being factory-made.

The brake could handle apds as KB stated.

KB did a followup video on that where he demonstrated that the round had SIGNIFICANT overcharge(by blowing up a second gun by shooting more and more spiced rounds until he got almost identical failure)

@@TheJere213 well he burned though the remaining rounds from that bad batch and then shot an intentionally spiced standard round to fail the weapon

He did invite them down to come shoot with him at the range:)

@@ChicagoReacts them or her

working on balancing the audio better with the new setup, don't you worry, we'll have it all perfected soon:)

A very interesting law to keep in mind whilst watching these videos

Ugh so exactly what does RPG mean pray tell and yes it exactly the same in Russian. Just different letters. Son the RPG has been around Alot longer than the Russian RPG.
