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.
@@adamfisher9529 the amount of power that is behind that bullet is gonna be comparatively negligible. It won’t hurt anything coming back down. The blast is sent in every direction rather than being concentrated behind the bullet. The fact that the bullet didn’t even penetrate the skull at point blank range shows you obviously weren’t paying attention and/or didn’t watch at all.
Sometimes he uses the truck for better cover. Sometimes he doesn't. I guess since his neck was hit last time he is only worried about his neck. When he gets a casing in his shin, then he will get behind the front wheel and use both wheels and the engine for cover.
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.
Science just consists of making a semi educated guess at what's going to happen and trying it. That said the backyardscientist channel literally makes me want to slit my wrists because this mf calls the absolute dumbest sht Science and like he can totally do thay but it just bugs me so much because it's essentially click bait Science without any actual Science. But hey he makes way more money than me so what do I know.
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.
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.
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Part of PTSD with TLTI(Traumatic Life Threatening Injury) is knowing you told death not today and jokes on him because it only earned more subs. Well, in this case anyway.
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...”
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.
Ive shot at a few competitions, and RO have an incredibly dangerous job! Not to bad with trained shooters but definitely around the untrained and unskilled.
@@MrChevelle83 for sure. Like I’m 100% pro gun and anyone should be able to buy whatever gun they want. but I’m not completely against making there be some sort of firearm safety class before you can go out and buy a gun with some of the people I’ve seen on the deck.
This really puts into perspective just how much use the barrel and breech of a gun is. It not only gives a bullet its power, but it also ensures that the force of the burning powder is focused to pushing the bullet rather than exploding
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.
burn rate is probably tied to barrel length, pistol powders can't take ages to burn so they dump all the gas at the beginning creating a huge pressure spike and rifle can take a while to build, but if the gas stops expanding while the round is in the chamber the friction would probably slow it down. Mark Serbu did a great breakdown of powder burn rates in one of his videos on Scott's RN-50 accident
You have to have something to hold pressure to build pressure. Thats what you are really doing with a gun is building pressure to send the bullet out of the barrel. I am not a reloader so I haven't studied burn rates much. But the different rates do effect the pressure and the pressure curve.
To get high velocities in rifles it's much safer and more consistent to use slower burning powder that has the same average pressure curve over time (barrel length) as a fast burning powder that spikes really high at first.
The others explained it well. So say you have a soda bottle right? When it's closed (bullet still in the barrel) it still builds pressure. The bottle is hard. But when the cap is off (bullet has exited the barrel) the bottle becomes squishy because there's nothing to keep the pressure anymore. Say the bottle is taller with everything else being the same. Less likely to overflow (complete powder burn) or shorter, more likely to overflow (incomplete powder burn). Powder burn makes the gas so in this case the soda is the powder and the barrel length is how tall the bottle is. You want as much soda as you can fit without overflowing it (trying to match powder burn to barrel length). Also since it has to be lit by the rest of the powder, once it's clear of the barrel it isn't likely to burn and isn't useful for propelling the bullet. Since pistols have short barrels they can't really have powder that burns slow or a lot will be wasted. But if you have powder that burns fast it doesn't get thrown out of the barrel
Barrel lenght and bullet weight, mostly. Short barrels (like the ones common on pistols) need a powder that burns really fast or you end up just wasting all that potential energy as muzzle blast and unburnt powder out the muzzle, but this causes very fast pressure spikes (comparative to the same quantity of slower powder). Heavier bullets are harder to get moving fast (inertia) so a longer barrel gives you more distance to work it up to speed, but that requires a slower powder to ensure that you don't prematurely burn all the powder before you reach the end of the barrel (which can squib the round) or cause an initial pressure spike before the bullet gets moving (which causes a "stick a thumb in it" situation). Lots of science, but it boils down to "whats the best way to move it?" If you only have 1 foot to move an orange, a quick short punch may be the best way. But of you have 3 foot to move a bowling ball, a slower moving push will get you better results with less chance of injury than a punch (dont punch bowling balls please).
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
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.
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.
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. 👍
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
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?
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.
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.
Ok, I am 1:48 in and my first thought is, "dude, you had a fifty blow up in your face and you survived. You then proceeded to recreate the event with the same gun, and several other guns. You are all that is man. You have nothing to prove. You don't need rounds popping off without barrels to direct them in a safe direction...away from you." Let's see how this goes. Edit: Ok, the vid is over. All I can say is that went so much better than I feared at the beginning. Great vid. I especially liked how that zombie got re-tartar-ed by that 2x4 at the end. Thanks for the entertainment and I look forward to what you have in store for 2023.
Lately, you’re the only channel I watch on RUclips when I go to watch TV I turn on RUclips I watched two or three of your videos it’s amazing. Lots of fun.
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.
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.
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.
Back in 2004, Mythbusters did an episode where they used a .22LR as a fuse, and managed to get it to fire. The bullet ended up on the table next to the fuse block. Since then, a number of people have fired bare cartridges and determined that the bullet has very little velocity. (Basically, it has a near zero length "barrel".) I'd be surprised if that 1000gr bullet made it 10 feet high. I'd be more worried about the shrapnel from the brass. But you do have a point. Scott should have a proper shelter for when he does these, um, dangerous experiments. Hiding behind his truck, his legs are exposed. A "bus shelter" type structure, made out of 3/4" plywood, should do the trick.
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.
All joking aside, I've said it before, I'm very glad you are still with us Scott!! Very thankful that your dad was there to tell you to put a thumb in it
Crazy that a round could go off being hit by a case. Popping off loose big game rounds CAN'T be cheap! Looking forward to your 2023 vids! Stay safe and watch yer 6.
00 buck tossed into a bonfire left me with a third nipple. It really comes down to circumstance. Kinda like this one RUclipsr I know that had to stick a thumb in it to save his life ;) love you Scott
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.
This has always been my concern with bulk ammo. I’ve bought many boxes and tubs of ammo. Thank goodness it’s never happened to me. Be safe and cover your ammo.

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

Lol like there's two massive wheels you could have as cover for your legs, knowing Scott he'll hit the femoral artery 😂
so his legs get blown off.. better than his last chest and face injury!
Sometimes he uses the truck for better cover.
Sometimes he doesn't.
I guess since his neck was hit last time he is only worried about his neck.
When he gets a casing in his shin, then he will get behind the front wheel and use both wheels and the engine for cover.

Hey Scott… love how you take refuge behind a car that’s lifted higher than the cartridges going off. Love your work mate! 😂
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!!
One of the best slow motion shots yet!!!! EPIC
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.
I like how the 577 case unraveled it self from the zip tie and still had momentum to keep spinning.
All joking aside, I've said it before, I'm very glad you are still with us Scott!! Very thankful that your dad was there to tell you to put a thumb in it
Scott is an ammo scientist…..outstanding
You Sir are having way too much fun!!!! As always, great video.
Best Videos of the World
Love how he shooting straight up definitely safe lmao
Did you see the bullet lodged in the dummy skull? Rounds that size, with so little velocity, probably went 100 feet in the air, if that. Physics.
Crazy that a round could go off being hit by a case.
Popping off loose big game rounds CAN'T be cheap! Looking forward to your 2023 vids! Stay safe and watch yer 6.
Scott described himself so well there near the end... "Covered in tarter sauce and shredded"!
Always informative, also a good show. Thanks.
00 buck tossed into a bonfire left me with a third nipple. It really comes down to circumstance. Kinda like this one RUclipsr I know that had to stick a thumb in it to save his life ;) love you Scott
“That makes my neck itch.” 😂😂😂😂😂
You caught me off guard with, that makes my neck itch. 😆 🤣 😂
First time I feel like I’m part of the world hearing the news about the brass case ignited the live rounds then hearing it here. Awesome.
You had a perfect opportunity to say AW TARTER SAUCE when you made the mess
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
Perfect thing to watch on my birthday Scott keep up the good work love ya brother
Good to see you back happy 2023😀❤
This was fun and informative.
I knew wives had tails..... Thank you Scooter for your words of wisdom. Also get well soon from that explosion, that looked pretty nasty.
Great video Scott very scientific thanks
Excellent info on open rounds near shell trajectory area
Keep doing your thang brother. Awesome content as always.
Really enjoyed the video , thank you for all the content
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.
Another fun video thanks Scott
This is some of the most awesome content on youtube, keep it up man
Scott, looks at bullet shrapnel,
"That makes my neck itch"
Wonder Boy is awesome. I'm glad u had him on the show
Hahahah sketches with Scooter are so funny.
Thanks Scott for your awesome videos 😎
“First thought, what is it was bigger” 😂😂😂☠️
Scooter would easily be the best movie character😂. Your videos are awesome, I cloud pull an all nighter just watching your vids. Keep up the good work
That has got to be one of the craziest things I've seen. Agreed that the 700 Nitro was rather underwhelming, but that 600... AWESOME!!!
If anything the intros are always something “special” 😂😂 love the videos
Safety Message "Only a few neighbors were harmed in this video" 😂🤣
What goes up... Must come down... Somewhere 🤷🏻♂️
This has always been my concern with bulk ammo. I’ve bought many boxes and tubs of ammo. Thank goodness it’s never happened to me. Be safe and cover your ammo.
