I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!!

I have a lot of respect for Scooter, he wanted to save that poor squid so much that he violated the NFA.

Scott out here taking an almost fatal accident that would make even the toughest men question their choice of career and turning it into entertainment AND education for the masses!! Keep up the good work sir, you're creating some of the best content on this platform!!

A friend of mine had a squib in his 1911 a few years back (he no longer has that gun but for a different reason), and in the moment he didn't notice it but the next riund was a spicy +P round. The fact that his hand and face were intact and he only had a small bruise on his cheek from shrapnel was a miracle

how dangerous would it be if there was a squib in an automatic and somebody went full auto

Incredible to see how the injury healed. Scott’s face didn’t necessarily look like the face we were used to after the incident, but now it looks like the old Scott. The human body is incredibly mysterious at times. (Also, I don’t mean this to be an insult or anything)

The tension whenever Scott loads or takes the gun off safety is unbearable everytime! 😆

I love Scott for using his accident as a chance to teach safety whenever he can

The ultimate barrel pressure test. The Canik handled with ease and very entertaining to see for the pistol test. Nice quality apparently!

This is another reason to know your gun very well. You should know exactly what kind of *bang* to expect, so when you get a *boomf* you recognize the sound is wrong and don't just keep shooting.

This is why I love Scott's videos. They're not only entertaining as hell but informative and educational. Keep em coming man!

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 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.

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'm impressed with the Canik, pretty high quality for being rather affordable

Hey Scott!! I have a suggestion: the Canik seemed to survive very well against a squib. But what about other things such as dirt and sand in the barrel? I would love to see you torture test this gun and see what it's limits are. It's been a while since you did a torture test so this is a great opportunity!

Next time you explore Squibs, you should show or explain how to safely determine (Once clearing the firearm as unloaded) if there's any bulge anywhere down the barrel. Again, every situation is different. I've had a Barrel bulge on me, so I know what you're looking for, but who else does? Great vid, Scott!!

I had a squib with some factory subsonic rounds in my MP5K in the middle of a competition. The next round pushed it out and I never had any idea until I got home to clean the barrel and noticed a slight bulge. Still works great to this day, zero didn't even shift

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. I also hope, that you manage to get your truck back out of the mud. Greetings from Germany.

That was a good video. Thanks and eye opener and everybody who shoots, or shoot hand loads should watch this one. The more I learn about shooting, the more careful I become. Well done.

i love that you tease us with the explosion as you take the saftey off. great content, keep it up!

Well you just made me like my Canik SFX even more than I already did. Thanks. Had one squib only once in my life with a M&P 40 and it bulged the barrel out. Smith stood behind it, replaced the barrel and it works fine to this day. It still rattled me a little. Great video. Keep up the good work.

I'm so glad for Scott's totally spontaneous decision of taking up a healthier life style and walk all the way back home! Great job as usual. 👍😁

I literally just bought a Canik as my very first handgun (just turned 21) two days ago and seeing it clear a squib like it wasn't even there makes me feel really proud of my choice. thanks for the reassurance. im pretty sure it's the exact model you tested too.

Watched a few of your videos, what a character, hello from UK, subscribed!

That 30-06 squib, same result happened to my dad years ago in a 300 Weatherby. But his wasn't from a squib, at some point while walking around a long grass, wheat stock, or something similar got down his barrel. When he fired, similar results. The barrel split and pealed back all the way to the action, opening up like 16in at the end. It now hangs on his wall haha

Hey Kentucky, I love these educational videos you do. The shotgun squib actually reminded me if an incident we had happen at the range I work at years ago, of a guy who loaded a 20 gauge birdshot shell before putting a 12 gauge birdshot shell directly behind it causing the whole recieve to detonate. I’d love to see a video showing why you never mix ammunition no matter the situation

Thank you sir great demonstration!

I love how you were stranded on the back of that pickup then magically appeared clean and dry safely on land again - I want to see the uncut version of what happened there!

Now i understand why making sure your gun barrel is clear is so important

This is the first time I've ever heard the term "squib" being used in typical fire-arm fashion as a barrel obstruction. Usually I hear it being used as a name for exploding blood packs on movie sets.

Scott, two things on the squib video. 1) I would love to see how you made/got the squib setup in the barrel. 2) Just for fun, when the barrel does explode, fire another round just to see what happens. I realize this is silly, but it would be fun.

Thank you for educating me about a squib. I'll be honest, I never heard of a squib. I always appreciate you being safe and helping us to remain safe.

As someone that owns a canik TP9 I was both excited and afraid of the end result. I'm glad it came out just fine, but then again not every situation is the same.

Excellent Presentation Love it...................!!

Thank you my friend Scott!!!

Scott showing his scars while talking about squibs is like a character showing their battle scars to someone

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..

Kentucky ballistics is so cool I could watch u every day thanks for the upload scott

i had a squib in my 22 ruger so this really helped, thanks!

I really want to see what happens when you plug the barrel like that, but FILE weak points into the metal, like in a spiral around the barrel and see how/if the barrel splits along the file-lines. Might make some nice post video artwork.

The gun failure situation videos are always really entertaining to me. Great work, Scott!!!

Hey Scott, I really enjoyed your video!!!👍

I purchased a TP9FSX about 3 years ago for about 630 usd and for the price you pay you get a really solid range gun. Besides adding some brass weight for better control my only downside was the stock trigger once I replaced that my spouse loved the gun some much it basically became hers.

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...

At 6:46 Holy crap at the amount of flex in that scope!

I love learning new stuff this actually helps raise awareness about not taking care or being carful with your firearms

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!

Ty Scott for always making me laugh and entertained. I have been in chronic excruciating 24/7 pain from back surgery gone wrong. Your videos have given me temporary relief from it. I'm happy your healed up and are stronger than ever you're loved by millions man and a national treasure god bless u dude.

Always a good day when KB puts out a video

Fascinating... thanks.

Great demo. I would suggest adding a paper targets to the rear and side, to see how much fragmentation the firer and anyone standing nearby might catch. Thanks

Love your videos, Scott! Assuming the firing mechanism still works, what would happen if you fired the rifle and shot gun again? Just curious to see what would happen.

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.

I don’t know why, but I absolutely love Scott’s little gremlin laugh with the shotgun Squib-

Love this sort of content Scott. Have you done a video about accidentally loading a 20 bore cartridge into a 12 bore shotgun then loading a 12 bore cartridge on top?

Thank you for all your years of hard work Scot! I always stop what I’m doing to watch you uploads.

Great information. Never really thought about that scenario before. Education is scary.

Intros are always super funny. Love the content period!

Raise your hand if you've been watching Kentucky for a long time🤚

Great video as always Scott. I never something like this could happen with firearms. Also, at 3:40-3:44 I was waiting for you to play that explosion when you were talking like that. I pretty much just about think to myself, he's going to add the explosion in here at some point to catch us off guard🤣🤣. Hope you have a great rest of the week Scott.

you got some balls Scotto, respect.

6:37 this is how a rifle should safely fail. The breach should never be the weakest part of the action.

This reminds me of when demolition ranch did all kinds of barrel obstructions in pistols, and just about all of them shot out, so I’m not surprised the pistol was just fine.

I'm still dying laughing... you couldn't ask for a more funny accident... at 6:26 he says I'm gonna get behind the truck. It immediately goes to an ad, a hospital bed was the first scene.

You healed so dang fast, its still hard to believe you made it through

Scott bro I just had to subscribe because you are such an amusing lunatic God bless you man .

Spent a few hours binging on Disney+. Visited KZfaq for some eventful viewing and it’s been awhile since I’ve visited your channel. You have just got to know: So amazingly entertaining! Have a good one!! and thank you as always. (Every part of it, so so good for laughs)

The 12 gauge would make a cool lamp stand! Thanks for yet another informational and educational video. As always, stay safe and God bess.

Entertaining delivery of *VERY* important safety information!! THANK you, Scott!!

I fired behind a squib in a Ruger mkII with a slab sided barrel. You could make out a slight bulge on the exterior of the barrel 2/3 down. It still shot great for many thousands of round.

That’s Canik for ya always making great products love my Canik ! Great video Scott!

4:30 can't wait for the ATF to call this a short barreled shotgun because you blew up the front of the barrel.

at about 0:55, ATF joined the chat

Great video. I had a squib once in my life time using a glock 19 gen 4. Luckily the squib was close enough to where it couldnt chamber a round or else i would have lost a finger.

enjoying the content

thanks for making this!!! i had my first squib and have been anxious ever since. this video helped me understand what to expect and what look out for.

Thanks for another awesome upload Scott. My 26th birthday and actually having one of the worst days in years

Hi Kentucy I love you and your videos!

Love the video! Always was warned about a barrel plugged with mud. I bet you could sell those blown up barrels I would love to have one to use as a display to teach kids that sqibs are dangerous.

0:50 now that gives a whole new meaning to the term live round brother! the look on his face when he start cutting, m8 you almost had me sipttin my drink out! ahahahaahah

Hey Scott, I was wondering how would the shotgun react after this failure if you would cut the barrel just before the bulge out? I know that cutting the barrel is illegal but for science I was wondering if you could and if it would still be firing fine. Hope you could do this in a follow-up video. Thanks Rob.

Intro and content were superb. ‘What’ was you expecting something….lol….yes I was 😂

Yes. I absolutely was expecting something. I was braced for it this time and you completely screwed me out of me being proud of myself for not jumping. Great video.

My father had a ‘squib’ in his centrefire pistol. Caused a measurable but not too noticeable bulge in the barrel but nothing crazy. This was .22 so not a lot of pressure either. But pretty accurate to your test results.

You have healed incredibly. I'm glad to see it.

I own that EXACT same Canik, I knew I loved that pistol for a reason!

Great video! Cool to see that Canik survived without an issue, if you had a squib like that you'd probably never even know! I wonder though if the felt recoil would be different from the second bullet impacting the squib?

The ATF watching Scott sawing that barrel 👀

I really wanted to watch you try to get that truck out of that mud. Thank you for this informative video btw. Good stuff

I love my canik, its an old model but still works and shoots perfectly.

Excellent content as always, thank you👍

5:27 i love those drinks

Bravo! Grazie a questi test! Tutti hanno una maggiore consapevolezza delle armi!

Interesting & entertaining, dead-center bulls-eye video . . . again. 😊

1:07 Scott hits the Tokyo Drift

Ah yes my favorite time of the week. Love ya Scott keep up the great content.

Good information thnx

2 months late but watching this again I have 2 questions.. Could you clear a squib with a BLANK round? More dangerously could you fire the shotty with that barrel redesign in place? Love your videos and always look forward to watching and rewatching your vid's.

Scott...YOU are one freaking awesome guy!!
