  • What did you think and what would you like to see next !?! I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
  • @Rico_71
    So basically Scott worked on getting back in shape first, and then he started his masterplan "destroying .50 cals to assert total dominance". Makes sense lol
  • @autumn2675
    Honestly, this man is a living legend. Tough, fun, not afraid to be silly, every video is just a pleasure to watch. So glad for the left thumb!
  • Scott is the only person that can accidentally bottle flip a bullet casing
  • Dude the fact that you can laugh at what happened then and now is both absolutely terrifying and inspiring at the same time.
  • @Yashuop
    Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!
  • Iā€™ve been really curious to see this on a Barrett M99, they have 12 locking lugs + the bolt handle, Iā€™m sure itā€™d still be damaged but Iā€™d put money on that rifle doing the best in this test
  • @benzzodude
    The way Scott looks up and around as he hears pieces of gun go through the trees always makes me laugh
  • @Chris.Haines.
    I think a whole series of hunting and sporting rifles overcharged would be hugely interesting and would show the dangers of not being careful if you are hand loading and why following specs is important. I would love to watch 308, 223/556, 6.5 creed heck even pistol calibers would be interesting. Great video Scott!
  • Honestly, you deserve your own barrett 50 cal just to have. You looked badass when you shot it.
  • @GamingwithGoody
    This is definitely a type a series I would be all for. Just like you now I'm curious about other overcharged Calibers. Especially really common rounds like 5.56, 308, and maybe even 9mm in a typical carry gun.
  • @gamepro2049
    I'd actually like to see what would happen to a bullpup with an extra spicy round. A lot of gun manufacturers say they add extra materials in those rifles just in case of a catastrophic failure like this. Would you survive with a round detonating right by your face?
  • Great warning about the dangers of hot rounds. Awesome episode!
  • @ScoobyDo2009
    This is an excellent example of a ā€˜good failure modeā€™ vs a ā€˜bad failure modeā€™. Iā€™d MUCH rather be holding this one than the other one! The energy goes UP instead of backwards!
  • I'd like to see an AK-50 with an overcharged round. Maybe one of the easiest platforms to find variants of, and shouldn't be too hard to aquire.
  • @WVCountryBoy101
    When Scott laughs about the price of a Barrett, after saying he is gonna blow it up, is priceless. Glad Kentucky Ballistics is still able to shot em up, after last year.
  • @JohnChuprun
    Love the way you laughed after being distraught about blowing up such an expensive gun at 1:38 ... great attitude and endearing, as well as made me laugh too.
  • Hey Scott, glad to see you are doing well, very scary ordeal. Iā€™ve been hand loading for more than 30 years and it would be interesting to know what a standard hunting rifle would take to blow. Like the 300 win mag in a browning A bolt or the 338 win mag in the ruger m77 mark 2. Or in hand guns the 480 ruger RedHawk, or the 44 mag in the ruger black hawk Thanks for all hard work and all the info it gives us! Jamie Revelstoke BC Canada
