Wicked Cool

Wicked cool!

 

[lrahm]

Interesting, thanks for sharing that with us.

 

[M67]

That is pretty cool.

 

[gohard43]

Very cool! Quite the explosion!

 

[JohnP82]

Wow! That was pretty cool!

 

[wabash]

neat.

but I want to know the velocity.

 

[GlockFox]

Look at how slow that shoots!! That couldn't kill anyone.

 

[todkapuz]

Really neat... a little too SBS :P .. I'd want at least enough barrel to contain the expansion of the shell itself.. :P ... who am i kidding....

But yeah, really cool.. I always love watching time-slowed video

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Too bad there wasn't any sound... Why do I have the feeling that the shooter said, "Hey y'all, watch THIS!" just before pulling the trigger?

No it was "Hold my Beer, hey ya'll watch this"

 

[Mr.JAG]

I'd love to see a ballistics test using the same setup... wonder if there is any velocity/lethality at all past 5 feet?

 

[TLHelmer]

I didn't even know that was possible!

That looks like all the thrust was from the primer, I do not think there was even enough pressure to light the powder, let alone benefit from it's power. Even 4 inches of barrel would have held pressure long enough to light the powder and give that satisfying powder flash (and a lot more velocity).

 

[DRob]

Probably a good thing

It does look like the powder charge didn't ignite and, if that's true, it's probably a very good thing. Hey Darwin Awards! Candidate available!

You can see the powder following the plastic wad out of the shell. I would guess you could have used a piece of paper as a shot-proof vest. Doubt it would have done much more than dent the paper.

Yep, red-necks last words would seem appropriate for someone about to try this.

Without a barrel, would ATF still have a cow about it being an unregistered NFA weapon??? Can't be a short barrel shotgun without a barrel!!!!

I like the shell expansion, cool video.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I stand corrected!

I think it would have to be tried "in absentia".

 

[Homebrew]

Awesome!
