Kentucky Ballistics Tangles With .50 BMG Again

I assume that everyone reading this remembers when Scott of Kentucky Ballistics almost died when a spicy .50 BMG round blew up his gun. Evidently Scott can’t resist the siren song of the .50 BMG, and here’s two more videos where he rides the lightning.

First: I suppose it was inevitable that someone would build this, and that someone turned out to be Noreen: A .50 BMG pistol. And yes, he straps on the body armor before shooting it.

  • It’s still technically a rifle because of the 16 1/2″ barrel.
  • Bolt action.
  • The usual shooting of food (tubs of mayonnaise and corn syrup, eggplant, and, for some reason, canned snails) ensues.
  • The muzzle blast is “like getting punched in the face by a really weak person constantly.”
  • No, he doesn’t attempt to shoot it one-handed.
  • Next up: He examines the danger of “scope kiss” when firing guns, starting small and working all the way up to a Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum and a Serbu BFG-50.

    Yeah, you don’t want to have your face too close to the scope when you fire…

      I am proud to say that I am now the happy owner of a .50bmg rifle. It’s a Safety Harbor (SHTF) magazine fed bolt action 50bmg with a 29″ barrel. Took delivery 3 weeks ago. I saw a great deal on gunbroker and I couldn’t pass it up, especially since I’ve been waiting 10 years to own one. Part of the reason I waited so long is the 50cal market for rifles is kinda ridiculous. Most people and myself are not spending over $4000 for a gun and definitely not the $8000 plus Barretts or other semi-autos command. The ammo is also expensive and it’s hard to find places or clubs that will let you shoot it. Luckily I live in the desert.

      I purchased ammo for it the day I closed the deal, so it all arrived at the same time, which included some API and 1 Raufoss round. Shot and zeroed it 2 weeks ago against some garbage-tier RHA plates in the desert. The Raufoss round was extremely satisfying.

      Well, what else are you going to do with a can of snails? Eat them?
