  • .22s went off first, then the .44s then last the .50s

  • I was fishing at a lake where some campers packed up and left their site, and I heard loud BOOOM! On examination of the scene it was a can of beans left under the coals that exploded, sending shrapnel and burnt beans out, almost starting a forest fire.

  • 4:44 riot shield

  • chuck norris is jokes are getting lame

  • I just wonder how they can make things like remote control car etc.

  • @jgeb21 they cant coz of health and saftey these days but i aggree

  • Now put loaded guns into the fire lol

  • these guys took safty too far. a bullett needs the barrel of a gun to create enough preasure for the bullet to go straight and with a straight flight path. otherwise, you may get the bullet flying out, but it will just flop through the air

  • what a bunch of pussies. just drop the damn bullets in the fire.

  • You're basically getting what's called an "out of battery explosion". That happens when you eject a hang fire (slow burning primer, doesn't ignite the gunpowder) and it explodes outside of the chamber of the weapon.

    Sure, the shrapnel is what messes you up in this case, but an OOB explosion has the hot gases exploding right next to you. There's a picture floating around of a guy who had a .50BMG OOB explode next to his hand and all I can say is it's not pretty.
