Same thing with say plane accidents, they have so many safety systems but sometimes the failures or misses line up and stuff goes very bad very fast.

@@BerraLJ ... hence the old saying that safety manuals are written in blood ... JAL Flight 123 is one of those cases were everything lined up in such a way that, eventually, resulted in the worst, single aircraft, disaster in aviation history. There were numerous points in that chain of events, that, had it been interrupted, could've prevented such a massive loss of life, but yet ...

@Grimace427 Very much applies to flying too. Only difference is you may not have much time to diagnose a problem if say, your engine goes out. In this case, if it doesn't restart after you went thru all the necessary procedures don't waste time trying to get it started again. Start looking for a place to glide in and put her down safely. My local flight school doesn't even let people reset popped circuit breakers anymore because they really don't want a fire breaking out inside the cockpit. One time I was about to go for a flight after getting some fuel and then the engine wouldn't turn over. The prop seemed to only move a little bit and then seize up. And then it started after it moved a little bit more. And I already knew from a similar experience with my car that it was a sign of a starter going bad (I had no engine trouble at all after we actually got it running). So I told the school about it (we aren't allowed to hand prop start at my school either).

@@mattpeacock5208 definitely, if you stop smelling the smell and you haven’t left the area there’s a good chance it’s already too late. At least it’s the case with hydrogen sulfide.

Exactly. About 35 years ago, I was plinking with some guys. One of them had just bought an old military rifle, can’t remember make or caliber. It looked to be in good condition. He lloaded a few rounds and leant over the hood of a truck. Six or 8 of us were packed around him like an elevator full of idiots. The first shot sounded fucking weird. It was loud, but dull, with no crack or echo… We all kind of exclaimed “WOW!” Myself and a couple of other guys, we later discovered, had assumed he would stop and check the gun. Before we could say anything, he pulled the trigger again. Nobody was seriously hurt. The sound was like an explosion, of dynamite or something like that. Very loud, louder than a shotgun or 44 mag up close. The breech did not explode. A stinging, burning hot fan of gas and debris came from the small gap around the bolt. I think the bolt might have deformed. The guys who were close had powder burns and what looked like small abrasions scattered across their faces. There was definitely some hearing lost. One of the guys told me later that his ears had wrung (badly enough to wake him up at night) for a almost a week. The shooter was shocked, but basically okay. Eyes wide, his face dirty from debris and little burns, blood trickling from what looked like a hundred shaving nicks. That gun was well made and we were lucky little morons.

Yeah, that could have been much worse

there was an.... Incident, at AngloAmerican's Dawnson mine that had a similar outcome- there WAS a youtube video as part of the incident report, but it seems to have "mysteriously" vanished from youtube. short story, there were 3 employees- 2 normal, one manager, all three were essentially in heavy sleep dep due to them being repeatedly woken up -exactly- at the minimum time after they clocked off,repeatedly, over several shifts when, i THINK they were already doing overtime and exhausted to start with. issue was a 3 phase circuit breaker powering some important equipment had died (breaker itself was fine, something had gone in the control panel/switching panel), and they had been incapable of getting in contact with the manufacturer for almost an entire day (as in, no responses online/on the phone) to get replacement parts OR a certified technician. so eventually, they were loopy enough for salvaging parts from another breaker to seem like a "good" idea (even though this ended up involving using a power drill to trap the internal springs in place to stop it going flying, after they lost spring tension on the FIRST one and made it useless ). to cut a very long chain of dubious decisions made under heavy pressure (they were close to having to shut down part of the mine due to storage backing up, i think),stress, and with the equivalent of more then a day without sleep/ repeatedly interupted SHORT sleep short, the breaker was a fail-deadly design (in my, laymans opinion, designed by a fu- bloody moron)that would close under gravity if the control panel was removed, and both workers got a face/torso full of molten copper- the one thing they did completely right, even with their brains half gone, was to put on their protective vests and safety glasses- which took them from "eyes burnt by molten copper, burns all over their torso" to "minor burns"

Amen to that! 🤣🤣🤣 It really is one of those "it's funny because everyone survived" stories!

The director released the gun safety person before they actually filmed the scene, which contributed to the obstruction escaping notice until it was too late.

I just saw a movie where they carried safety a bit too far… They showed a character opening the cylinder of a revolver to see if it was loaded… None of the cases had primers in them at all. Safe, to be sure, but a gaffe visually.

@@Bikewer majority of moviegoers would never realize that was wrong though. There's far more glaring issues with movies and tv than that. Like the exaggerated pulling on steering wheels that should annoy anyone that ever drove a vehicle, but no one ever mentions it.

Idiots with guns... what could go wrong

Squibs in semiautomatic pistols and rifles are nightmares of a different sort. I experienced them more than once due to missing powder in a cartridge, pushing the bullet into the barrel. Fortunately, the bullet prevented another round from chambering, and I was able to get the bullet out without damage to the barrel.

And the most important thing is that this is not randomly like this, we purposefully built systems like this. Mostly by trial and error. Plane crashed? Reason: X. Okay we have safety measure for X now. Plane 2 crashed? Reason: X, then/while/after Y. Okay safetly measure for X and Y too. And this goes on like this.

Yeah, or same with industrial or nuclear disasters. It always start small oversight (something like a safety valve or sensor removed for maintenance and never put back on) combined with chronic lack of maintenance. Then sprinkle in a healthy dose of administrative missmanagement, pressure from executives. Then add a nice pincer of crew shift in the middle of a delicate operation and all of that ends up into a nice healty catastrophic incident!

There are rarely true “accidents” that occur just by chance and bad luck. However, there are many, many “incidents” that are categorically traceable to those seemingly insignificant and carelessly afforded missteps that results in catastrophe. That’s what news stations fill their air time with, over and over, the prideful foolishness of man.

Part of the little safeguard there (which was really more out of battery safeguard than blowback safeguard) was is what hit his neck when it failed.

@@5jjt because good news doesn't sell, which is why school shooting is popular stories to tell by major news stations in the USA

The vast majority of gun owners in the USA are very much like Ian. Unfortunately, news outlets are much more interested in ratings than ratios, and therefore, you'll hear about the shitty gun owners far more often than the responsible ones.

@@u2bbastard saying the vast majority is a huge understatement, when the stats show between 500k and 3 mil defensive uses a year and gun deaths are a fraction of that and mostly suicides, I’d say yes us gun owners are by far very responsible. As with anything you will eventually get outliers with any statistics but our media loves to focus on the outliers completely skewing what people of the gun community. Thank you Ian you are amazing and the perfect example of what all of us gun owners strive to be.

​ @ItenerantMonk That is kind of the problem. Too many gun owners... Now hear me out for a sec, I'm not against guns at all. My point is that as with any sufficiently large group even if most are responsible and upstanding the percentage that isn't responsible or law abiding gets big enough to cause all the problems we see in the US with school shootings, etc. The solution? Its complicated politically but straightforward. Becoming far more strict about who can own and carry guns to reduce the percentage of irresponsible/bad actors while requiring ongoing training in their use and handling in order for them to keep them. We need more gun owners to be brought up to par on their personal proficiency and safety standards. Mandating it by law would be the surest way to achieve it as it would be both mandatory and a way to spot who doesn't care to do the right thing and deal with them but like I said its politically a huge mess to implement. No one wants to turn in their guns to the police over noncompliance so even the already responsible gun owners will push back against it.

@@BloPsy__ Who's mocking him?

After almost being killed a couple of times, it's easier and easier to laugh off a situation that almost kills you. I'm sure Scott had a few close call being a cop, and general male shenanigans

He can laugh now. He wasn't laughing at the time.

He is not laughing about it at all, I watched his video and he thanks God, his dad, his nurse and the hospitals for saving him. He came very close to death and acknowledges, he even says that had he been out there without his dad to help him he would be dead. His breakdown of what failed, how and why was quite thorough and gave good information for how to handle a crisis.

Gun jesus

Stay a while and listen.

And Gun Jesus said unto them, "If you find yourself tempted to tap-rack-bang by your weapon's weaker recoil and noise, field strip it as soon as possible; for it is better to DNF a competition than for your weapon to explode in your face." The Book of Safety, 11:43.

Add to that safety message to always reload old ammo. Pull the bullet and put it into clean brass with fresh powder and primer. Most of that specialty ammo is at least 40 years old, since newer stock wasn't able to enter the market since the NFA Act prohibited it as reclassified destructive devices.

@@LeBoomStudios And, as mentioned here, different powders age in different ways. In the best case scenario of powder degradation, it saves you from an annoying dud.

I have a Sako-modified Mosin-Nagant, captured in wartime from the Russians then rebuilt and accurized. One of the changes was the grinding off of the crest - right in the same spot as that chrysanthemum on the Arisaka.

Scott too. Even with the training and knowledge, I still find it astonishing he was able to keep any panic in check enough to save himself (along with his dad's help). I can't imagine it would be easy to stay calm as a father seeing their child so badly injured and have to stay level headed. Hats off to both of them, as it probably would have been a sad outcome if either one didn't perform so well given the incident. I also hand it to Scott for making his video. A valuable lesson for all, and not just for shooting injuries. Made well, and invites other good commentary and expansion of the topic by other people in the industry. I hope non gun-related content gets made from this example also, looking more at safety, first aid, and dealing with injuries - whatever the cause.

That man must've had some EMT training or military medic training or something. THE FIRST THING HE SAID was for his kid to put his thumb in his neck. This guy knows what's up.

@@justforever96 If the bolt is locked, and a cook off happens, its not really a catastrophic failure, just a failure. If the bolt isn't locked, than its out of battery.

@@justforever96 in the Military you would get yelled at for even mag dumping when you were not given the clearance as it is wasting ammo

@@formoney5255 If the cook off happens because the primer ignites, then it will not produce a catastrophic failure. However, if the powder heats up substantially, it will burn faster than normal and will produce higher pressure than normal. That can produce a catastrophic failure. depending on how high the pressure gets and the weapons construction.

@@justforever96 I wish it was the case that cook offs are almost always in battery. Unfortunately it is not. Cook offs happen most in machine guns. Those who fires from a closed bolt runs the highest risk of a cook off, but most often the gun will be in battery. The problem is that soldiers, no matter if they are operating an open bolt or closed bolt weapon, will try to clear the weapon if they have a jam or some other malfunction. And so they will try to retract the bolt, open the feed cover or tries to remove the barrel. And then the weapon is no longer in battery and all safety measures built into the gun to went gases and fragments away from the shooter is bypassed. When a cook off then occurs, the fragments and hot gases will likely hit the soldier and cause damage. I have been on investigation boards for many such accidents. There are rules and regulations as to how to manage a jam in a very hot weapon, to mimimize the risk of injury. But soldiers tend to go not follow such rules, feeling the need to get the weapon back in operation as fast as possible. And in wartime, such a risk is worth it if your position is in danger of being over run. But in peace time, no. Still, soldiers often train as if they don't have time to change barrels and cool the weapon down, and clear the weapon as fast as possible even when there is no enemy present.

That was my thought exactly

I grew up not using eye and ear protection when shooting. It wasn’t until I bought a .44 mag pistol and had my ears ringing for about 3 days after shooting it all day that it really scared me that I’d screwed up my hearing. So now I wear hearing protection when ever I shoot. I still hardly ever wear eye protection though. It’s not that it isn’t available. I work in a factory that requires us to wear safety glasses from entry to exit, unless inside a control room or break room, so I’m used to having them on and theirs several pair floating around my truck. I guess it’s simply that I grew up not wearing them while shooting that I’ve been complacent. KB’s video is very sobering though and definitely makes me rethink not wearing them.

I hear the same thing can happen is people load .22 LR into a .22 Magnum chamber. Though the projectiles are the same width, the 22 LR has the projectile sit on top of the case with just the base inside the case, while the .22 Magnum has the projectile sit inside the case walls. So the .22 Magnum chamber is wider, and so the .22 LR slips through the chamber and jams at the shoulder. When the next cartridge is loaded and fired, the projectile's path is obstructed by the previous cartridge and kaboom.

@@havareriksen1004 I have done this as an experiment to see what happens. The 22LR rim is wide enough to keep the cartridge from falling into the chamber. It is notably loose, though, since the 22WMR case is around 0.243" while the 22LR case is around 0.226". (Dimensions from SAAMI.) The case splits when the cartridge is fired, reducing the velocity and altering the sound of the report. In my limited testing, every bullet exited the muzzle to strike the target but the drop was excessive. These are my results on a single revolver, a H&R 676. I cannot sanction anybody else trying this, and I am reporting my results here so that anybody else who is curious about it may hopefully have their questions answered. In summary, firing 22LR ammo in a 22WMR chamber is unsatisfactory.

Falling block puts a rather huge brick of steel between you and anything that might come back at you. Very reliable.

How easy it would be to detect a "pop" from a squib when you have ear protection on?

@@VT-mw2zb while the sound could potentially be drowned out from other weapons on the range in addition to the ear protection, the noticeable lack of recoil should be a clue as well.

Makes you think twice about firing something in full auto or rapid firing semi auto. Hopefully it just doesn’t cycle the weapon and makes you stop.

@@streetfighteralpha9891 yeah seriously. It would turn dangerous in a hurry.

@@streetfighteralpha9891 it will not have enough gas/recoil to cycle an auto or semi-auto. However, what comes next can be problematic. If you apply a Type I failure remedy because you are under pressure and/or trained to do so (and you blindly follow it): tap, rack, it can be followed with a boom to your face. There's a video of a guy running a competition where he got a squib, tapped, racked, and the weapon didn't fire because the bore obstruction prevented the next round from going into battery. He tapped, racked, (or even could have hammer the forward assist) a couple of times, and then it went just enough for his gun to blow up. It blew the mag out of his gun and gas into his face, and you gotta admire his dedication: the guy continued to put another mag in and tried one more time before giving up. Training for remediation of malfunction is focused on getting back into the fight but when the malfunction is a squib, it could be the gun blowing up. (xhgyJMhQFbA) vid id. A hangfire may also occur on a click but no bang. Type I action may result in a cartridge explode on the ground but it's usually harmless. A squib in the revolver or bolt action is more problematic. Failure to fire? Pull the trigger again on a revolver or just cycle the bolt and you will fire a round behind a bore obstruction.

It's the important distinction between _propellant_ and *explosive.*

They're basically both explosions. But a deflagration is slower than the speed of sound, while detonation are faster than the speed of sound.

Not only saved his eye, but also probably save him from a brain injury. That much oomf into his eye and breaking the eye socket in three locations, had he not had the glasses that much impact directly into his head would have been like getting punched by Mike Tyson in his prime bare knuckled and holding a steel slug. The glasses deflected the power of the cap enough that it didn’t happen thankfully.

"Lucky" I think underplays just how critically important it is to be trained or have someone nearby trained to deal with things like this. Also, heck, to be the annoying atheist for a moment, all of his thanking of God I think underplays how much he owes his life to the quick work of his father and the medical staff that treated him.

@@stuckincommiefornia 'Dangerous Things are Dangerous' over on Inrange. And wow it was 3 years ago. Feels like a couple weeks ago it was new upload. Oh gawd time plz stahp!

@@planescaped Thanks sir!

@@jadedengineer Thank you!

And watch out for squib loads. You could tap, rack, and it goes boom in your face.

Or if you're going to shoot ammunition of dubious quality, use a string to pull the trigger remotely.

@@VT-mw2zb had a close call with a Squib- was shooting buddy's .44 Magnum lever action, he had mystery ammo that his friend had loaded (drunk) i had a miss fire and lowered the barrel and the bullet fell out. some of the shots were low powered others did not leave the barrel.

To be fair .50 SLAP isn't usually a "mystery ammo" (unless someone reloaded it and passed it off as surplus) But a lot of army surplus ammo is sold because it failed military spec. Usually that's just a shelf life requirement, or an incomplete coverage of sealer on the primer, or a little ding or scratch... but it can fail spec for being the incorrect weight, which is "not good" (tm). The 'X' prefix on surplus ammo means it is not allowed to be used in military guns "for some reason", usually a rather minor reason, but not always.

Honestly, someone should make a video based on this event, with basic first aid skills and what to carry. As someone who has taught a number of never-shot-before people, I want to have what I need for when what I don't want to happen, happens.

"you piss excellence" I think I am stealing that line.

I agree completely, very well spoken

Did you serve at Fairchild?

Never have i ever seen a hearted comment from Ian

Hear! Hear!

I was freaking out the whole way through, I would just had froze up in that situation. What a guy Scott is!

I thought so too, but then I realized that he went to great lengths to make this video informative and fact based, and not a “remember when I got hurt” video.

Was there a video for that?

@@Tr3bu true, and maybe he just didn't want to distract from what happened here, but it would've borne mentioning it when discussing failure modes

He linked both his own "Dangerous Things Are Dangerous" vid and Scott's mishap at the end of the video.

Seriously

Well said, Ian gets credit for doing it right

PPE is a must. I can say that I could’ve been seriously injured on the job without several pieces of equipment. It’s deadly serious

I wear glasses even for just hammering at stuff nowadays. I bought a multi pack of impact glasses and put a pair or two in each angle grinder case, one in every hammer box etc. Then there's no excuses or temptation to not use them.

Yup. Things like this are why I started wearing legit safety glasses over my prescription glasses. Normal glasses will keep little bits of soot out of your eyes but they won't stand up to a ricochet, piece of jacket coming back off steel or a kaboom.

I have a little story about welding. I was at work straightening out a piece of metal and my idiot coworker decides that this is a good time to weld another part to it, no warning whatsoever. I didn't close my eyes fast enough and BAM, spots in my vision for the rest of the day, a mild sunburn and in the evening my eyes were burning like hell (barely bearable when eyes closed). And I know someone that had to have eye surgery because they used an angle grinder without eyepro.

@@buggs9950 i had a coworker injured in the neck by a little piece of metal sheared of a steel chisel. Nothing serious but revealing. better to grind the burrs and use safety glasses. also i had prescription glasses with a little molten metal embebded in the glass from not using safety glasses with an oxyacetilene cutter. things happening from non usual works and tools,but its a lot better to loose some time gathering all you need,and safety equipment must be considered and esential part of some tools. basic safety is so cheap, and can end up so expensive to not use it...we are usually so lucky after all

There's a few things taufledermaus has toyed with which probably should have used string. But, so far so good. I guess the pressures are pretty low in a shotgun though.

And every time you decide it's a smart idea to shoot guns in your own house remember Matt from demolition ranch getting hit by shrapnel while shooting in his own house

Mythbusters uses the same safety techniques also. Use rope, take cover from a good distance.

@@kathrynck I've seen pic of shotgun with barrel looking like half peeled banana ...

@@davidm.4670 I've seen those too, with rifles as well.

I mean since the gasses are moving fast enough to move the bullet to supersonic speeds then it’s a supersonic deflagration. Kind of funny, supersonic deflagration, deflagration can still be supersonic because it’s still just a reaction of heat

@@KClO3 isn't the deflagration / detonation a measure of how fast the flame front propagates though, not how fast the resultant gases are moving?

@@theHSPCproject detonation is when It burns faster than the speed of sound in the material itself, so 343 m/s burning is not detonation because it has to reach the speed of sound in the explosive itself which is way higher in a solid than a gas

@@KClO3 ah ok the wording in your original comment was confusing.

Cases also strengthen the action by taking stress off of the lugs and help prevent auto-loading actions from opening too early by gripping the chamber during peak pressure. That is the reason why it is recommended to not polish revolver chambers and to remove oil from chambers before firing.

Agreed. And in more positive news, that really FUBAR'd AK that Ian showed off months ago has been fully redone by Brandon Herrara.

@@wolfehoffmann2697 I heard about that.

I think that's true of responsible gun owners in general. Our solidarity, goodwill, and (most importantly) presenting a public face of genuinely caring about safety and not hurting people (who aren't bad guys trying to break into our houses) with our guns is the best defense we have against idiot gun-grabbers and their assault on our Constitutional liberties.

i love it

@I OFFER YOU THIS Absolutely. I think of it this way. If someone points an unloaded gun at you, don't offer them a box of ammunition.

So a “shooter X will remember that” sort of deal?

@@AG-zv9jo that's right

Same here. And that's probably a good thing. Like Ian said we as shooters get complacent. After I watched it I grabbed my headlamp, field stripped all my guns, and gave them a good once over.

Hand loads scare me for this reason.

better this than a bolt carrier group in the back of your head.

The Charlie of guns.

.... yep.... I've always called him "Gun Jesus".... I forget his real name....

Sound and feel, very important!👍

Shooting a Llama .357 bull barreled match revolver with my buddy, back in the mid 80's. My friend shot off 3 shots, fairly slow. When he shot the next shot, it just went "pifff", not loud at all. I was right next to him, and we both looked at each other thinking "What the hell?" just as I realized what had actually happened , my friend raised the barrel back up to continue shooting ! I automatically (although not very smart) reached over and grabbed the gun around the hammer/cylinder area before he got up to aiming position. It scared him I guess and he let go of it so I had control of it now. I swung the cylinder open and held the barrel up to the sky....but no light shone through it. Wadcutter bullet stuck about an inch down the barrel. Scary moment forever in my memories .

@@sauletto1 I bet your friend is very glad that you stopped him from shooting into a blocked barrel

@@sauletto1 Your buddy was lucky to have such a cool-headed attentive friend with him at the range. Friends don't let friends ignore a squib!

InRangeTV : Ian´s own experience on accident. The videos name : Dangerous Things are Dangerous: The Importance of Medical Training kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6yYedppm77PZ6M.html

That's where my mind went as well. Big takeaway in both cases: In case of an accident, it's *very* useful to have someone else there who can administer first aid, assess your injuries, and get you further help.

And that is the crazy part, this was one in a million. I've run through probably 5000 rounds of CCI 9mm over the past two years, out of all that ammunition I had one of the last rounds fall apart in the chamber of my firearm. Luckily, it failed to chamber and fire. When I racked the slide, the cartridge ejected, the powder spilled all down through my magazine, and the bullet fell out of the chamber on top of the magazine. I've never seen that in my life, and I can't say I've seen QC issues with CCi either. Just a crazy failure with new, factory loaded ammo.

@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I had an AK cartredge that was fresh from the box, no funky storage or old production throw a bullet slow enough that it poped into the sand infront of me, Probably the closest you can physically get to a squib without it sticking in the barrel

I've had a 240 barrel blow up and the bolt broke the hydrolic buffer. The gun had about 220 rounds through it that morning and was cleaned the night before.

And above all, stay away from dodgy old ammo.

@@luisnunes2010 And other peoples reloads never fire those under any conditions

Luckily for you, he has more than 2,000 videos of him doing exactly that haha

I wish Ian had added more images to this lecture of gun failures. One of the things Scott showed was the stripped threads AND the ears that had been broken off and thrown at him. That sort of image goes a long way to showing the results of these sorts of bad events.

For your own and other peoples sake DON'T TOUCH RELOADING before learning much more.

If I wasn't broke as hell I absolutely would

👍

Did you notice Matt from Demolition Ranch is printing them?

Chris Shive it’s bunker branding, Scott has a few shirts on his own product line with them

Got my men's large on the way!

Once upon a time, the french knew their way around gun design pretty well. Even the british used to have some semblance of a clue about guns.

@@kathrynck and now the yanks too, can completely fail to design something worthwhile

@@thatorangeguy3646 well, the "ordinance corps" in the military has been screwing up US military rifles for about 70 years now. The civilian market designs are pretty solid though.

@@kathrynck They still do. The famas is a engineering marvel

@@bobbyjoe1111 It's not bad. and for the time in which it was designed, it was pretty amazing.

Or Bruce Lee’s son brandon, he was shoot at with a blank gun while filming a movie and it shot a squib load bullet at him
