This video documents the construction and testing of a custom seven-barrel shotgun designed to impact an oxygen tank valve. The creator, Richard, details the build process, including the use of DOM tubing for barrels and a unique screw-based receiver attachment. The experiment involves firing the weapon at the oxygen tank valve to observe the outcome, with discussions on the significant recoil and the effectiveness of different ammunition types like slugs versus birdshot.

Quick Summary

A custom seven-barrel shotgun, built with DOM tubing and a screw-based receiver, was fired at an oxygen tank valve. The experiment involved using 1-ounce slugs to test the extreme recoil and potential impact, with the builder noting the significant danger and force involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of shotgun was used in the experiment?

The experiment featured a custom-built seven-barrel shotgun, designed by a builder named Richard. It was constructed using DOM tubing for the barrels and a unique screw-based system for attaching them to the receiver.

What was the primary goal of firing the seven-barrel shotgun at the oxygen tank valve?

The main objective was to observe the effect of firing the powerful seven-barrel shotgun directly at an oxygen tank valve, aiming to see if it could cause the valve to rupture or the tank to explode, as part of a science experiment.

What ammunition was used in the seven-barrel shotgun, and why?

Initially, birdshot was used, but it proved less effective. For the second, more impactful attempt, the shotgun was loaded with seven 1-ounce slugs, totaling seven ounces of lead, to maximize penetration and force against the target.

What are the recoil implications of a seven-barrel shotgun?

The recoil from a seven-barrel shotgun is described as extreme, potentially capable of breaking a shooter's shoulder. The force is compared to firing a .50 BMG, amplified by the multiple barrels firing simultaneously.
