This video concludes the RN-50 blow-up analysis, identifying the primary cause as the use of fast-burning pistol powder instead of slow-burning .50 BMG powder. Mark Serbu demonstrates how this error can create pressures exceeding 400,000 PSI, far beyond the rifle's design limits. The analysis includes comparisons with standard .50 BMG loads and even high explosives, using simulations and analogies to explain the catastrophic failure.
