I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

Id be interested to see you do a distance vs lethality test with the blanks. Like at what range / distances do each blank caliber become "safe"
-
In 1984, John Eric Hexum, on the set the TV series “Cover Up” proved the lethality of blanks. While growing bored on the set, he placed the barrel of a .44 Magnum loaded with blanks to his head and pulled the trigger. Pieces of his skull were blown into his brain resulting in his demise.

That explosion jumpscare got me a little too good. Well played, Scott. Well played.
-
"these rugers have really safe triggers" 10 seconds later bullet fires without even pulling
-
Can we just appreciate the fact that he even got back near the same 50cal that almost took his life im proud of you Scott for getting close to shooting that gun again

I remember hearing a story of a lady who had blanks in her gun to scare away or ‘defend’ herself from robbers. Well, a robber tried to rob her, she pulled out her gun and at point blank (pun intended) fired to try and scare him, and the force penetrated his face and killed him.
-
“Now I will pull our hammer back” my heart dropped followed by nervous laughter 😂
-
The military switched to .556 because they can carry more into battle due to its lower weight. They would surely be able to double that bullet count by dropping the weight of the actual projectile and instead ran blanks. This may just be the edge our troops need in combat.
-
Honestly, a part 2 of this would be interesting since all of these were point blank range. It would be interesting to see how dangerous these rounds are at different, reasonable distances, like a yard compared to a foot. Edit: Okay, I get it. A yard's too far, and the result would be most likely no structural damage beyond damaged hearing, but I still am interested at which distance blanks start to do damage.
-
I was a little miffed. I really wanted to see what range they were lethal at. Once he established that most were lethal at point blank, it would have been nice to see just how far they were still lethal.
-
Itd be great to re-do the experiment, but put the skulls at different distances away to see at what distance they stop being lethal, or start being lethal, whichever is more efficient to test.
-
Good demonstration. Had no idea what blanks actually were. This puts into perspective how lethal they CAN be.
-
Here in the UK I visted a movie set where firerms were located. I was a film student at the time. 2003. We were shown how movie firearms worked and was told always treat a movie firearm like any other type of firearm, in other words as if it was loaded and ready to go and that blanks under the right conditions were lethal.
-
As someone who has stood about 2 metres directly in front of blanks when a gun was fired, you can feel the intense heat and pressure hitting you. Blanks are still a risk of injury if you’re close enough.
-
i was dying to see this experiment too but from about a meter away or even 30cm. having the blanks pointed so close will obviously cause v serious damage, such as heads being blown completely irl when the gun's so close. love your vids either way, rock on and pls pls pls STAY SAFE!!! lots of love - kai
-
“How lethal are blanks?” Me: remembering what happened during The Crow They can be VERY LETHAL
-
I love a random live round in the blanks intro. Big Alex Baldwin vibes.
-
Being that the 1st death from a 'Prop Gun' (real gun used as a prop) 44 Magnum in 1984 was Jon-Erik Hexum on the set of 'Cover Up', yeah at close range they can be very deadly. Jon-Erik Hexum was goofing off between takes playing, with what he thought was a safe way to play Russian Roulette, and pointed it at his temple and pulled the trigger. He died later from the concussive impact sending skull fragments into his brain. Yeah, that 10 gauge was 'murder'. (bad pun I know)
-
I love the shotgun blank part like i didnt expect for the head to completely get evaporated and how you said "oh dear" before hand made it all the more comical.
