How Lethal Is Muzzle Blast ??? 💥

foreign what's up man what are you doing I am about to test out my new waterproof gun case so it's like completely waterproof yep it's completely waterproof that yeah scooter that's not the waterproof gun case my bad [Music] what's up everybody my name is Scott and you're watching Kentucky ballistics we're practical arrange and today we're going to conduct some science with some muzzle blast let's go get set up and get started I have several firearms and we're gonna see just how lethal muzzle blast could be when a firearm goes off it creates gases and those gases Escape out the end of the barrel some Firearms are equipped with a muzzle brake which helps to direct the gases outward and help produce recoil depending on the size of your firearm the muzzle blast can be pretty great and today we're going to find out just how lethal muzzle blast could be I have several different firearms for us to use today we're going to start out with the smallest and then work our way up to the biggest and see how the muzzle blast affects this ballistic dummy Labs zombie head foreign this is the Falcon Arms weather lock bag the Vulcan weather lock bag has an IP rating of ipx6 what does that mean that means this thing is resistant to dust dirt mud and high pressure water jets with no penetration so whether you're at the range out in the field or you accidentally Chuck your case into a pond the Vulcan weather lock case can stand up to just about anything a big thinking of Vulcan arms for sponsoring today's video now let's get to it so first I'm going to start out with a handgun and then move up to rifles the handgun I'm going to be using is this Behemoth The Smith and Wesson 460 Magnum with a 14 inch barrel it is equipped with a muzzle brake and we're going to see what effect that has on Mr zombie here all right the ammo I'm going to be using is some Underwood Ammo that's a 250 grain extreme penetrator okay here we go foreign here has some burn on his face definitely singed his nose hairs a little bit would I consider this lethal no would it create an injury yeah most likely so now we're going to move up to rifles we're going to start out with this cmmg Resolute and it's chambered in 350 Legend got a nice little muzzle break there on the end I don't expect this to do much but I'm still really curious to see what happens all right here we go [Laughter] okay well he really doesn't look much different we've got a little more burn there on his upper lip again I'm not going to consider that lethal but it definitely would have messed up your face a little bit smells like burnt hair all right we're gonna skip a few in between and go ahead and step it up to a 338 Lapua this is my Savage 111 and you can see we've got a big fat muzzle break on the end and we're definitely going to create some muzzle blasts with this 285 grain 338 Lapua I'm gonna put that right on his forehead here we go oh no I'm gonna be honest I expected like some skin maybe to peel off his forehead or something but it looks like we uh potentially have a cracked Dome that is not good the skin is still intact but the bone is broken 338 Lapua muzzle blast I'm gonna go with lethal all right now time for the grand finale we're going to step it up to a Barrett 50 cal it has a very large muzzle break and it's going to produce a lot of muzzle blast so judging from what the 338 Lapua muzzle blast did to the zombie head I have a good feeling that the 50 BMG is probably going to finish this thing off so before I push it right up against the muzzle brake let's scoot it back just a tad and see if we have any effect that way and the round I'm using is a 50 BMG 660 grain Full Metal Jacket okey dokey here we go oh I don't really see any new damage the blast did blow it off the table but he seems to look about the same I just realized I still have this hand left over from a previous video before I push the zombie head right up against the muzzle brake let's see what would happen if a hand was wrapped around it yeah there we go so we're going to take some extra precautions now we have the hand strapped to the muzzle brake and I don't exactly want to be near this rifle when it goes off because you know bone shrapnel so I've got the Barrett set up I've got a cinder block with two 50-pound lead bags behind it to hold it in place I'm going to bungee cord it to the table and then I'm going to step back a little bit and pull a string because safety all righty let's see what would happen if you held on to the end of a 50 BMG muzzle brake oh looks like that would probably be a bad day I don't think you'd have much of a hand left that is insane all right well the muzzle Blast from the 50 BMG broke the zip ties and completely shredded the hand if you look right here the thumb is broken like everything is broken that is some extreme muzzle blast I expected it to tear up the hand a little bit but I was not expecting that after seeing that I am now predicting that I am most likely going to have to clean this gun after this last shot we are now going to take this zombie head and I'm going to place it as close as I can to this muzzle brake and we're gonna see what happens okay I'm gonna push this right up against the muzzle brake oh this is about to be so bad 660 grain Full Metal Jacket well let's scoot back a little bit alrighty let's make a mess oh foreign I think it is safe to say that 50 BMG muzzle blast is 100 lethal that is nuts I cannot believe the damage that it did to this thing Mr zombie here is definitely toast let's go check out the gun oh man that's bad there is zombie remnants all over my gun I thought it was going to be bad but I really didn't expect it to be that bad this muzzle break is designed to throw the muzzle blast in this direction and as you can see it did just that there is zombie goop all over the table going this way and if you look over here it even sprayed it in this direction as well as well as all over my gun thankfully I left my scope cover on there's some bone fragments here on the end of the barrel and it looks like something is crammed in my muzzle break hit that subscribe button in today's
