You probably remember Scott of Kentucky Ballistics’ little oopsie (https://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=48005) (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 (https://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=50648) to show the failure modes.
This time, however, he’s teamed up with The Slow-Mo Guys (https://www.youtube.com/@theslowmoguys) to blow up some guns at exceptionally high frame rates.

They blow up both an AR-15 and a .300 Winchester Mangnum rifle. The most interesting part for me was seeing that the explosion rips through the bottom of the AR’s magazine before the top of the gun starts flying.
But wait! There’s more! Here’s Scott and the Slow-Mo Guys playing Kentucky Roulette for some close up demolition.
