How is that even possible? Wouldn't a split follow the rifling of the barrel? The only way I could imagine this being possibe would be with a smooth bore barrel, but then why would you hunt with it? It would be too inaccurate. I call BS on this one.
Not necessarily. Steel has a grain to it. Depending on how that grain is and how the barrel was manufactured, determines how the barrel would split.
Quite obviously a barrel obstruction. The expanding gases seek the path of least resistance. Even a microscopic flaw in the steel will be the weak point where the barrel would start to split.
He was probably enjoying the moment of warmth running down his legWhat I dont get is the camera guy just focuses on the barrel without like dropping the camera or checking on his friend. Hes just focused right on it the entire time.
Im calling B.S.!
You're probably right. I am definately not an expert, nor do I play one on tv. I certainly am not a metallurgist. It's just that I've seen this video several times and for some reason it just doesn't sit right with me. It's almost cartoonish in a way, and the camera work almost suggests that the whole thing is staged. Like I said however, I could be and probably am totally wrong.
After this hunter video was done they suggested another:

Obviously there is a problem of some sort that I could not figure out. Then the kaboom.
Anyone tell what happened here?
