We Fire the Wrong Calibers Through The Wrong Guns

I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before, but I can’t seem to put my thumb on it 😂

There is an ATF agent somewhere trying to figure out if firing a .50 out of a 12g is a felony and if not how they can make it one.

4:18 Fudd's Life Hacks: Load the last (first loaded, last to fire) round of your AR-15 mags with .300 Blackout, that way your gun will automatically eject the magazine when you fire the last round.

The thing with the .50 is its a bottleneck round but in the shotgun the case blows up and looks like a shotgun shell after shooting, so by blowing up the case the pressure is probably waaay less than in a proper weapon for that cartridge

Not the first time you've stuck something where it didn't belong....

You should’ve had a ballistic dummy in front to see the lethality of the 50

‘I can’t live without you’. He put everything he had into that line. Hilarious.

My old roommate had a S&W 686, we used to love shooting that thing at the range. But being cheap 20 somethings at the time, we would always buy boxes of .38 spc instead of .357. Very fun practice round to shoot.

I work at a gun range and a guy put a mag of 300 blk into his 5.56 which destroyed his upper and magazine. An hour later in the same lane, a guy found some ammo on the ground and put it through his 5.56. It was ammo from the first ar that blew up that day, so it also blew up his rifle. 2 rifles blown up in the same lane an hour apart from the same box of ammo.

The reason the .50 and the 8mm didn't blow up the guns is because the projectiles were smaller than the bore, so all the excess pressure simply escaped around the bullet through the front

That's a nice CZ, they're such a pleasure to shoot! I found it easier to be precise & consistent with compared to many other common handguns.

These are my favorite type of Garand Thumb videos. Just fucking around, safely, seeing what works, what doesn't and why it does or doesn't.

I love how the .50 in the 12 gauge worked. the fireball came out and then the .50 projectile was like "Wait for me!" and came out chasing the fireball like a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck.

The fireball exiting the 12 gauge before the bullet did was hilarious

I think I know what’s happening here. The AR blew up because the bullet diameter was larger than the diameter of the barrel. This caused excess pressure, in addition to already being hotter, and that’s why it blew up. But with the shotguns, the diameter of each bullet was smaller than the barrel. So after the initial pressure curve, there would no longer be any friction to hold back the bullet, and all pressure would drop significantly. At least that’s my best guess. Anybody else have some ideas? Edit: grammer

13:16 Micah, these are probably the most valuable words you've said. I know your usual content adds humor, but this certainly added value.

The chemistry between Mike and Micah made me NOT skip the ads. Comedic gold.

Video idea: I think it would be interesting to see how much damage a 50 bmg (maybe even 338 Lapua) can cause on a ballistic dummy when shooting it at long ranges (1 mile, 2km, 2 miles, 3.5km record sniper shot, 3 miles, etc). Perhaps you could calculate a rough speed at which the bullet would hit the target for each distance and try to emulate it by loading it with less powder so you can easily take accurate, repeatable shots at short range. Maybe even test how effective different types of armor would be against big caliber rounds at such long ranges. Love your content, take care!

You guys are a blast - did things we all wanted to see but did not dare to do.

Crazy how much that barrel flexes! Id like to see a slow mo without the front stock to get a real good look
