Lucky guy, 50 cal explodes

And people wonder why I always bitch about wearing eye pro. Without those cheap $5 glasses he would have also lost en eye.

I knew a guy in commercial construction who never needed to be reminded to wear eye protection, he had already lost one.

Aside from the kablooey aspect of the round, that rifle design scares the crap out of me.

I kind of wonder about that too...I mean if the threads and retaining blocks he points out on the lower start to wear out over time, what is the eventuality...?

It's basically a potential pipe bomb with the 2nd obvious location for pressure evacuation (1st being the muzzle) being the breech... right where the shooter's face is.

How is that different than a muzzleloader?

Or any other gun? There are only 2 openings in the barrel unless the bullet makes it down far enough to the gas port on autos that have one.

I thought the same thing. Looks exactly like a modern muzzleloader. One for very very large brass cased ammo but with A LOT less mass backing up the breech plug than a muzzleloader has.

No thanks! I'll pass on ever getting one of those.

It just looks dangerous and like it was made in a garage.
