      Well, since there's not enough pressure to push the bullet out or cycle the feed, it wouldn't eject the casing, so you have to eject it manually. That's where gun safety comes in. If you notice when you fired it didn't sound or feel right as you were shooting, that's your time to stop immediately and check

    I think pistols usually handle squibs a lot better because A, the barrel just isn't long enough to get that gradual explosive pressure build up, and B, pistol powder burns a lot quicker than rifle powder, so you're getting a sharper acceleration out of the bullet (which is kind of necessary considering short barrel = less burn time).
    Don't get careless though, preventative safety is still best safety! :)

      I have no doubt that you know this, Shep. For anybody else that doesn't, putting a 20 gauge shell in a 12 gauge shotgun is common enough and disastrous enough that SAAMI has reserved the color yellow for 20 gauge shotgun shells. They don't come in any other color. If you look in your 12 gauge shell bag and see yellow, stop and fish out those 20 gauge shells.

      He more than likely did have a squib. There have been dozens of videos trying to jam a barrel with mud or ice or other natural things, while it theoretically CAN happen... it doesn't in torture tests. I mean, if you watch enough war footage you'll see US troops regularly putting their barrels straight down in the mud/dirt, just to prop them up and hold them. Or sometimes even in reloads. It's really not THAT big of a problem, granted a muzzle break does make a difference there. But still, to split a barrel you have to have something HARD locked in there to cause it

      @AngryDINGUS 100% was not a squib, there was still a chunk of the straw, about 4in, semi burnt into the lower portion of the barrel. My family have been guides for 80yrs, mY dad that this haopemd to now owns an ammunition company, the entire family is well aware of firearms. He sighted in/confirmed zero, evening before the hunt, no squib...if you fire a squib round, in a rifle for sure, you can ABSOLUTELY tell its a squib I don't care what anyone says. Recoil is nothing compared to a standard round. Anyone who knows anything about firearms, ammo, and shooting can agree to that. The only time a squib round is detrimental is at a firing range with pistols when hearing earpro...with a rifle, you know 100% if it's a squib or not the second you pull the trigger

    This reminds me of a conversation I had with the commander of a cannon crew from a Civil War re-enactment. He said he preferred the Napoleons because they were made of brass would would tend to split and vent, whereas the iron cannons would tend to just explode. The weapon was quite beautiful, and we got to see a lot of the procedural experience up close (loading, piercing the powder bag, inserting the igniter cord, etc.).
    I'm also glad that none of the jams I had the one time I went target shooting involved hung bullets (I don't recall ever hearing the term "squib" before today, but I'm not a firearm expert). I remember the Sig Sauer jammed the most frequently (it wasn't hard to clear, but it was annoying), while the Glock didn't jam at all (but it had more recoil and was less slightly less precise). I looked at the barrels of the two guns later, and noticed that the Sig had a tighter fit between the barrel and the round (they were both 9mm). I have no idea what kind of ammunition I was using... whatever my friend brought with him that day, but it was all the same.

    That was really awesome. Would have never expected the shotgun barrel to split like a kitchen whisk. Like you said, it looked like the good old looney toons.
    The 30-06 was really impressive. Would love to see, the two bullets merged together - if you're even able to get them out of the remaining barrel...
    But the Pistol really deserves the Titel of "Most Sturdy Gun of the Day". Absolutely astonishing, that it was still fully functional after the squib.

      The word Squib refers to a small explosive charge, typically too small to do any damage - they're used in films to pop blood packs as you know, and also make bullet impacts on walls etc. The squib in a firearms context is still a reference to a small explosive charge, i.e. the cartridge was a "squib load" - too small a bang to push the bullet from the barrel. And due to the wonderful world of etymology, the blockage caused by the squib load, becomes a squib!

    Love that face, "are you expecting something." Well yes and I got it, " a few moments later." It's interesting how the front end of the barrel on the shotgun stayed in line with the rear part of the barrel; but held together by steel strands.
    Thanks Scott. Wait a minute Scott, "hold my slug," could you try shooting through that section of barrel?
    I saw a Remington 51.380 ACP a few years ago that I was getting ready to buy and it had a bulge in the location of the last third section of the barrel from a squib load. I would have had to make a new barrel however, I didn't buy it and do that because I couldn't readily order a barrel blank with the original rifling pitch with the correct land and groove widths and I couldn't get a barrel maker to custom machine a barrel blank to the original rifling specs..

    I actually can answer that question about the handgun squibs. My dad had one during training with a Glock, either model 22 or 23. .40 S&W, I do not know what brand or load the local Sheriff's Office was issuing out at the time. Barrel was trashed and the frame was damaged, but he walked away completely unharmed.
    Edit for clarity: When I say the barrel was trashed, it didn't explode. It bulged really badly, and some of the rifling was stripped out. The frame was cracked, and I think the slide got cracked too? Hard to remember, been many years and we don't speak anymore. I do know that it was bad enough that they gave him a new handgun afterwards.

    This happend to me about 20 years ago. I was training for a n IPSC match in Canada, hand loaded .45 ACP rounds out of a Springfield. I had a malfunction, tapped and racked and had a massive blast from the end of the barrel... Besides the racing heart and needing a new barrel (it did have a considereble bulge in it) all was okay, lesson learned...

Now we got the internet and those expensive experiments becomes dirt cheap if instead of twenry students there are nany thousands looking at a video. A gun is expensive and you don't want to dedtroy it in an experiment for the benifig of a handful people but thease videos can be seen by millions. It wouldn't even suprise me if some soldiers are told to take a look at them.

    I used to shoot fireworks displays about 20 years ago - hand fired displays (my favorite - you just set them off with a road flare) and electronically fired displays. When you do electronic displays, the igniters are also called “squibs.” One time we had a guy helping us set up a display and he kept calling them “squids.” He said it a bunch of times both as a noun and as a verb: “Hey, we need another box of squids here.” “Did you squid that shell? Make sure to squid those.” Fun times.

    • @FuzedBox
      @FuzedBox Год назад +8

      I had a squib load in a gen4 Glock 19. I was actually firing fairly quick, but the squib was obvious to me; it was more of a muffled thump instead of a bang, and the recoil impulse was weird (kind of like a soft push straight back).
      The case stovepiped, but I'd have stopped after the weird feel regardless. Dropped the mag, cleared the stovepipe, checked the barrel and yep- a squib!
      I can definitely see how a newer shootet might screw up if it does actually cycle on a squib, but anyone reasonably well practiced will know something is fucky right away.

    @kaelin000 Месяц назад

    the reason for the longer barrels exploding is a process called dieseling: the air between the squib and the firiing round is compressed so suddenly it actually detonates ~ even on the smooth-bore the air is compressed before the compressing air overcomes the inertia of the squib.

I thought I'd missed because it was a snubnose. I fired another round that sounded weird with nothing appearing on the target and our family's Army vet friend immediately took the gun. The first round was sticking out of the end of the barrel and had been pushed up by the second round. Because it was an aluminum frame and old Colt couldn't do anything about it and Winchester (or Remington, whichever ammo we were shooting) took the gun and gave my grandfather a few hundred dollars. I'm lucky it didn't blow up and if I'd fired another it might have. He's tried a couple different guns to replace it but has never found anything as good as that classic Cobra.

We don’t have the places that teach you in the shooting ranges like in the states there’s very minimal shooting ranges so being infatuated with firearms were quick to get them and move forward not realizing the dangers and the proper way of doing things, so we consider ourselves very fortunate to have all these American guys taking the time to put videos up to educate us anxious fire arm enthusiast, so it’s very important that these unique situations are talked about and expose so that as lucky guys go in the right direction and do things right for safety thanks buddy

    I love these tests! I think you should try a muzzle loader catastrophic failure, and maybe a machine gun of some sort!?

    About 30 years ago, I has a squib blow up a Glock 21 (45 ACP) in my hand. I was using home reloads (hence the squib) but I think they were regular factory pressure since they were just for target shooting. The slide stayed forward, and the top of the chamber ripped open from the breach, pealing forward. The magazine plate, spring, follower, and all the rest of the rounds, blew out of the bottom, leaving the magazine itself practically welded to the magazine well.
    It blew a lot of skin off my thumb and forefinger, and I think I had a few scratches, but mostly I was just numb for a few minutes.

    I know it’s an expensive question, but after seeing that 30/06 split like that I’m very curious what would happen with a carbon Fibre wrapped barrel such as a Christensen, proof, fierce, etc.

      Great question. Would they hold up any better or be even worse? An even more expensive option would be an old machine gun. Could any of those designs have been overbuilt enough to survive? A squib would be a much more dangerous situation in a machine gun since the next round would almost certainly fire before you realized one was a squib. An inertia operated semiautomatic shotgun would be interesting to see tested. I wonder if the bolt might potentially cycle soon enough to vent enough excess pressure for the barrel to not fail.

    Seeing how a variety Hi-Point firearms handle squibs, hot loads, and other things pushing their limits until they either fail in a horrific manner, or if they're designed well enough to take into account such accidents.. As they're known to be a "budget" gun maker, but from everything I've seen in more typical stress tests, of their pistols at least, they seem to be built like tanks and continue to function, but I just think it'd be cool to see if user safety is somehow more compromised by buying a "budget" brand.

    Fascinating results, Scott. I wonder if the 9mm barrel is short enough that the squib doesn't have time to get lodged in place and cause an overpressure explosion.

      That might be part of it
      And pistol powder is generally no stranger to pressure spikes either
      It was also the lightest projectile here

      @justplinkin4809 Год назад +1

      Maybe it was the amount of space between the round being fired and the squib? As in that air/explosion didn’t have time to compress and before the pressure could build it shoved the squib out of the way.

      @@5peciesunkn0wn I agree, how much space does it take in the barrel to build enough pressure, along with how far it will push out the squib before the pressure is too much? You know it must push it a little but how far?

    Interesting video for sure! My first firearm instructor handed me a damaged 44 magnum revolver which had opened like a flower after making contact with a squib. The squib bullet was stuck right where the bullet enters the barrel. Would love to see that happen on your channel Scott. Also, you gotta do a slap round squib video!
