Loading a shotgun with a 50bmg, will it work?

This video details an experiment where a single .50 BMG round was heated in a pan on a portable stove, simulating cooking a hot dog. The .50 BMG round detonated, punching a hole through the pan and leaving an imprint of its base. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, emphasizes the extreme danger and unpredictability of such actions, advising against repeating the "forbidden hot dog" experiment. The demonstration was conducted at an outdoor range with safety measures like taking cover behind a truck.

This guide details the process of testing and tuning an AR-12 style shotgun build, specifically addressing the compatibility between an ICO Marketing Group upper and a PSA .308 lower receiver. It covers loading with specific ammunition, firing, clearing potential feeding issues, and performing necessary modifications for optimal performance. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual familiar with firearm components and build requirements.

This guide details the assembly and initial live-fire testing of a unique firearm configuration: an Icon Marketing Group 12-gauge upper receiver paired with a Palmetto State Armory .308 lower receiver, featuring a Grey Market Research Super Safety. The process involves careful component integration, ammunition selection, and live-fire evaluation to assess performance, including cycling, ejection, and recoil management. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual demonstrating hands-on knowledge of custom firearm builds.

This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

This guide details the experimental construction and testing of a unique 1882 patent for a rat trap that utilizes a firearm. Lead Firearms Instructor Brandon Herrera demonstrates the process, starting with a black powder revolver and progressing to more powerful firearms like the Smith & Wesson Model 500 and a Serbu Super Shorty 12-gauge shotgun. The experiment highlights firearm mechanics, historical patents, and safe, albeit unconventional, testing procedures.

This guide details the disassembly of a 12-gauge shotgun cartridge, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor from DROBASHEVICH. It covers the careful cutting of the crimped end, removal of internal components like the wadding and shot cup, and the extraction of the primer. This process is crucial for understanding ammunition construction and potentially for salvaging components for reloading or educational purposes.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
