https://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=54575You probably remember Scott of Kentucky Ballistics’
little oopsie (as he calls it), when a spicy round blew up his 50 cal and almost killed him. Since that brush with death he’s deliberately blown other firearms under more controlled conditions and
filmed the results to show the failure modes.
This time, however, he’s teamed up with
The Slow-Mo Guys to blow up some guns at exceptionally high frame rates.

But wait! There’s more! Here’s Scott and the Slow-Mo Guys playing Kentucky Roulette for some close up demolition.
