When Elephant Rounds Go BOOM !!! 

Doritos and tartar sauce aren't a good mix...just saying 😅. I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

After his accident, you’re so serious about safety that even the dummy wears safety glasses. Hard core.

My condolences to Scooter’s family, that was a big blast

I like how Scott ducks for cover behind a truck with two feet of ground clearance 😂

Let’s all take a moment and appreciate the $700 in ammo Scott went through for today’s video😊

When Scott held up a 9mm round, I thought it was a .22 bullet because of how buff his hands are😂

The fact that you can joke about your injury...damn, man. Inspiring. Thanks for all the great content!

3:04 "That makes my neck itch." - Glad Scott has sense of humor about that unfortunate event.

My brothers did a similar "test" in the mid 1960's with 22 shells and a vise. Story was oldest brother had a sore on his face and told Dad he fell on the gravel. It festered and Dad extracted part of the brass 22 case from Bill's cheek. It seems Bill and Ralph were pulling bullets from 22 shells because they ran out of pellets for the pellet gun. Bill said he tightened the vise a little too much and the shell blew up. My brothers set a let of precedents I couldn't live up to. RIP Bill, you lived to 67 years old.

things that keep mee hooked on scott's channel: 1. the skits 2. the table launching 3. everything else

" According to the Tartar sauce" is my new favorite deductive statement

That laugh after every round detonating is priceless! Thanks for making such awesome content!

During my studies for PhD in thermodynamics and kinetic energy, we often used the Doritos test. It was by far the most accurate medium for capturing data. Well done.

Scott has again proven, that the difference between science and goofing around is to write it down or record it. Quite interesting to see, what could happen, if a round goes off outside the chamber. And two nice new additions to Scott's collection of caught bullets. Really cool experiment. Greetings from Germany.

I remember when Mythbusters covered this, more often than not the casing was more dangerous than the bullet since it had more mass on average. Possibly has something to do with the shape of the casing acting almost like a nozzle, becoming a mini rocket engine. And man, that little doodad you were using to set them off was really flying along with the larger casings.

Darwin award for having rounds going off towards the sky.

“Makes my neck itch” made me laugh pretty hard, glad you’re still around to make jokes 😂

Dude, can’t say it enough, we’re so glad you are still here giving us great content like a dang champ! God bless you tucky!

Scott described himself so well there near the end... "Covered in tarter sauce and shredded"!

You had a perfect opportunity to say AW TARTER SAUCE when you made the mess

I really love Scott's sense of humor. Even after all this time he almost bit the dust.... he can still joke about his injury and it's still just as funny as the first. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Someone coming brand new to this channel probably gets so confused about all the running jokes. We got going on, love it so much.

I'm a little surprised that Scott had the reactor pointing skyward. Especially with some of those larger rounds. 'What goes up...' and all that it entails.

You didn't do watermelon time!!😭😂😂🤣🤣

Thanks for these, Scott. My boys and I truly enjoy your videos, so much so that the youngest one recently started one school presentation with “What’s up everybody? My name is Colt and you’re going to watch me talk about...”

This made me want to learn more on why different rounds have different burn rates for their powder, and why they require their barrels in order to burn properly. Likely something simple, but still fascinating after watching two 700 Nitros practically squib.

I think Scott knows more about bullets than where he lives.

Lol'd at "that makes my neck itch"...gallows humor is the best humor. Also when you couch to pull the string you expose your crotch under the truck towards the blast aint nobody putting a thumb down there Scot.

We need to see more of the Tactical T-Rex

Would be interesting to see each round that you use for your “When Guns Go Boom” series used in this type of way. Normal round compared to the more powerful equivalent.

9:25 At first I thought the shot spooked some birds nearby or something but turns out it was just scott's manic laughter.. 😂

“That makes my neck itch.” 😂😂😂😂😂

This man blows up like $800 worth of ammo for science and still has budget left for tables 😂. That's called dedication and production value!

6:21 when a girl says she loves boys who live dangerous

“First thought, what is it was bigger” 😂😂😂☠️

My dad grew up near Jackson, KY. I always knew when I was doing something wrong as he would walk up and say “what you doing Goofbutt”. I have the same reaction whenever I watch Scott.

Poor Scooter😞 Happy new year, Scott!

I love the skits you do for the openings Thanks for all the great content Excited for the new year

Love how he shooting straight up definitely safe lmao

Safety Message "Only a few neighbors were harmed in this video" 😂🤣 What goes up... Must come down... Somewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️

Love your vids man

Working as an RSO at a gun range I’ve actually seen this exact thing happen before, twice, both times were when someone dropped their magazine while reloading. Their mags both had metal feed lips and it smacked the primer at the right angle and set the bullet off that was still in the tray on the bench.

I died at “that makes my neck itch” 🤣🤣🤣

Watching that 700 nitro casing go flying was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

Absolutely love your imaginative intros Scott. Thanks for bringing us enjoyment and educational videos

9:31 December 1st

"That made my neck itch," but why Scott, why would it make your neck itch.... LOLLLLLLLLL

This video is done very well. I was surprised of some of the results. Scott, you have very good eyes finding those bullets and casings. Hope you and your family had a great holiday season

This is a vid that I've been wanting for ages

You caught me off guard with, that makes my neck itch. 😆 🤣 😂

Cracking that skull with a 2x4 seemed to do the most damage. Never underestimate the 2x4.

That was different, i was surprised by the 700 nitro, but i guess that's a slower burning powder combined with a thicker case wall. I always look forward to seeing Kentucky Ballistics

As a fellow Kentuckian, that was a great video, thank you again Scott for helping people learn about firearms and firearm safety!

“That makes my neck itch” 😂😂😂

"that makes my neck itch" comment of the year so far haha

So nice of Scott to take advantage of the nice weather we've been having in Kentucky to go out and feed the critters.😆

Your content is unrivaled love how you always have the right amount of humor to science ratio.. You and Scooter are a great team 🤣

Scooter is my favorite character

An officer pulls an elephant over and asked where his weapons are. "In my trunk sir".

Crazy how much of a difference the varying powders make.

I would like to see a comparison video between the .416 Rigby and the .577 Tyrannosaur if you get the chance sometime. They both seem to be deep penetrating powerhouses.

When that tartar sauce erupted into arching ropes of gizzum I couldn’t help but 😊 smile

Scooter got no chill 🤣🤣

I was really getting anxious that you weren't going to eat some of those Doritos. Way to keep the suspense going. Very Hitchcockian.

Hi Scott! Loving blessings to you and your family for this year! Don’t worry, next year there will be blessings also! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank your father for being your camera man so diligently and it seems Scott was given your strength. I haven’t forgotten of course, it must not have been easy to go through what the both of you that day at the range went through. I guess Our Father in Heaven wasn’t ready yet to receive Scot as he still has so many hearts to conquer here via this channel! I love you guys! Keep up the fun work. By the way Scott, has anyone told you that at the moment you are to pull the trigger, you look exactly like your father…. When you take your power stance for example. Till we meet! Yes, when He returns of course. 👍

Scott never fails to entertain.

Scott is an ammo scientist…..outstanding

The Slowmo guys did something like this recently, by using a tiny rim fire fire bullet to set off the firing pin of a 9mm. It didn't go anywhere. The bullet popped, and it just sort of rolled away. No pressure in a barrel, no distance I guess.

Happy New Year Scott! This video was super interesting. I learned some very useful information. How the rounds responded without a barrel is crazy. Thanks for being the Scientist and, testing this in your lab. Keep this great content coming, Scott?

"That makes my neck itch!" 😂😂😂

At 9:32 if you look closely it appears the entire cartridge was SOMEHOW intact and was like, good bye, and left the scene with the bolt reactor?????😂

Thank you for bringing so much fun to ballistics! 👍🇺🇸🐊

Shocking how trivial the payload of a bullet is when it's not directed by a chamber/barrel.

"That makes my neck itch" 🤣🤣🤣

The "makes my neck itch" made me chuckle, just at how dark that joke was. Hope your all ok K.B

Scott, I like all of your videos. However, I really liked this one! Thanks for continuing to produce great content!

i love this channel so much, its not like the others, not so serious, gets to the point faster, epic content, and epic dude

Scott, looks at bullet shrapnel, "That makes my neck itch"

Intros with Scooter are the best 🤣

Never seen this happened in first person but knowing it could happen anytime to anyone my heart always skips a beat if I see a live round fall out or get dropped from a high point. I've seen people drop ammo before or even toss a whole box on a table and told them don't do that please it could go off.

Scoot never disappoints

The round going off inside the tarter sauce was fun to watch ide definitely enjoy seeing how much explosive power other rounds have in a similar test

Wait for it...KA-BOOM! Lol! That makes my neck itch!

Happy new year Scott! Just a suggestion, have you ever thought about making a video to show how different gun powders perform? Something along the lines of what would happen if you loaded a .338 Lapua with shotgun powder. Not sure how you would do it without destroying guns, but it would make for an interesting video. Just a suggestion. As always, keep up the awesome videos.

"Now, for safety, I'm gonna stand behind my truck" crouches down... I can almost see the firing stand from below his truck. 😁 I don't think you're as safe crouched behind that beast as you could be.

The creativity is just as smashing as the gunpowder! Keetpthem blasting!

7:02 Doesn't seem to be too lethal?? What about the skull cracking right through the middle?

I tried something similar in my early/pre teens, but with a slightly more primitive setup, and very different outcome. My friends and I found some 7mm and 9mm shells in a small community trash dump (yes, we played in the dump.) We put the 7mm shells in a hole in the bottom of an upside down grille and hit the primer. They must have been duds, because it was a very anti-climactic report (primer only?) Well, not knowing the reality, we assumed the rounds needed to be in a gun to go boom. I soon sound out this was not the case when I tied the 9mm rounds. I stuck the bullet in a hole that fit perfectly so the casing was sticking out. I used an old file for a firing pin and random chunk of cast iron as a hammer. The result was pretty violent, and a piece of the casing must have severed something in my wrist, because it was spurting blood as we made the arduous journey back home (wasn't bad enough to get my thumb in it, but certainly warranted a death grip around my wrist), all the while trying to come up with a story to explain to my mom why my wrist was squirting and my jacket sleeves were bloody up to the elbows.

6:39 “I think this is gonna be good” …*pop*…

the shell hitting tha primer, was like throwing screws into insulation board and it looks like Rambo! lol great zombie heads!

Interesting results. Apparently, the powder is the main factor in determining what happens to these rounds if they go off outside of a firearm, etc.. It was surprising to see the video of the 9mm round that went off at the range from an expelled shell casing. But, it seems like common sense to keep your box of ammo closed when shooting in the general area of the box of ammo.

Curious what safety concerns you factored in by launching the various bullets directly into the air and determining it was safe to do so. As the old saying goes "what goes up, must come down..." and with the 1000 grain bullet being over 1/8th of a pound (1/8=.12 lbs while 1000 grains=.14 lbs) thats a lot of lead coming down who knows how far away.

I just love that you can laugh about your injury and quite literally almost dying. I love it

when he said "that makes my next itch"... that is so not what i heard 😂😂😂

I think that slow-mo with the 2x4 at the end is brutal, in a cool way... thats what I think. 10/10 Cave-men approve!!

Welp, when the tartar sauce blew, the captions said "thank you", and frankly, Scott, I agree with them. That was amazing.

I like how the 577 case unraveled it self from the zip tie and still had momentum to keep spinning.

Scooter really said “man I’m dead💀"

I'm sick of having dead legs whilst watching full episodes whilst on the toilet

"That makes my neck itch" 😂
