RN 50 Blowup What it wasn't - Part 1
This analysis debunks case head separation as the cause of the RN-50 explosion, highlighting its fixed 0.200" headspace and internal brass plug support. Unlike the M2 machine gun, which relies on headspace for safety, the RN-50's design prevents pressure from venting into the action even with hypothetical case failures. Future parts will address SLAP rounds and cap vent theories.
