This guy is so lucky to be alive. It’s unbelievable how powerful the explosion was.
Yep, just got done reading about them that is what I got from the article. These are machine-gun rounds.I have read SLAP rounds are recommended for use ONLY in M2 Browning machine guns and are not recommended for sniper rifle use.
Added:
Powder charge of most .50 BMG cartridges is 210 to 225 grains of rifle powder.
Some early WWII M2 hangrenades had a powder charge of 315 grains pistol powder before they switched high explosives.
Luckily the pressure of a .50 BMG is vented by the bullet going down and leaving the barrel.
Except here it was vented at both ends.
Good thing that stripping the threads off the barrel end musta slowed that cap considerably.
4:30Glad he's ok, very lucky. Did he ever stop rambling and show the explosion?
