This experiment, conducted by Scott DeShields, demonstrates the severe consequences of firing a bolt-action rifle with its bolt open or locking lugs compromised. By testing .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and .50 BMG calibers with modified bolts, the video visually confirms that the bolt can become a dangerous projectile. The .308 test showed the bolt striking a ballistic dummy's face, while the .50 BMG resulted in a jammed action, highlighting extreme risks.
