Gun Exploding at 187,000fps Ft @KentuckyBallistics - The Slow Mo Guys

Thanks for having me on the channel! I had a great time filming together and I look forward to doing it again! You all are always welcome!

Had to use the backup audio for this vid. I think the audio receiver was only half plugged in so sorry for the extra wind and lens noise!

Mistaking Carolina Reaper for "California Reaper" is one of the more British things I've heard Dan say

I love how when Gavin says 187,000 frames per second and every second is two hours the look on Scott's face is priceless.

It's so strange hearing him speak so softly compared to his usual excitement and high energy, but somewhat serene

Scott smiling when asked if he’s ever blown a bolt action before was hilarious

One of the things I love the most is Dan gets to show his knowledge a lil more in these kinds of vids.

The accents. The beautiful mix of accents. And the childlike wonder and joy when reviewing the high-speed. Fantastic collaborative efforts.

It's shocking to see Scott so calm, serious and not acting out as he does on his channel lol

Scott had an amazing story of survival from an exploding gun, owing his life to his dad who somehow managed to get him to the hospital in time.

Scott is such a solid, friendly dude.

The fact that the gun components are completely blown apart and the still don’t point them towards each other even if it’s just a grip or the barrel shows true firearm professionalism

It's funny how Scott's so polite and respectful on the Slo-Mo Guys' channel then is constantly laughing at them getting sprayed on his own channel

Camera expert + explosive expert + gun expert = Happy watcher!!

On the bolt action rifle watching the metal peel apart like we've seen clay do previously, is insane and really does prove that at high enough energies, even the most solid objects start to act like fluids.

As a big fan of both channels, I never thought of this collab before, and now its safe to say we're going to need more!

Seeing how massive the .300 win mag detonation was just make me think how absolutely monstrous the big .50 that was right there next to Scott's face was

I remember hearing Scotts story awhile back. His Father and HIMSELF saved his life. One of the craziest stories I've ever heard, definitely check it out if you haven't.

I am so impressed with Scott's immense knowledge on firearms, Scott, we are incredibly grateful to you and your Dad that you are still alive !!!! Keep doing what you do {safely} !!! Kudos to the slo-mo guys as well, awesome video guys !!

I have a theory for the vapor puff out the front. I'm gonna guess that Scott mechanically pushed the squib into place (as opposed to actually under loading a round and banking on the squib getting stuck) so the squib wasn't fully engaged in the rifling, leaving just the tiniest gap around it. Then when the round when off, it created a piston that rapidly compressed the air in the barrel before the squib, causing the water vapor in the air to condense back into a liquid, along with any trace of oil left in the gun (which was likely brand new, guns are usually shipped with a thin film of oil to prevent rust)
