Holy !!

Unreal how lucky he was. Hope he stopped for a lottery ticket on the way to the hospital.

Hi point makes 50’s now?


In all seriousness. Glad he’s ok. Could’ve been a lot worse.

yeah, if his dad wasn't there he mentions he probably wouldn't have made it at all. Pretty scary stuff

Lucky man, good safety glasses.

I am in the habit of keeping a First Aid kit in my range bag with an Israeli bandage. You just never know.

Not familiar with that brand, but I don't know how I feel about this whole screw cap breech thing. It wiped the threads right out and sheared the ears right off the receiver and turned them into shrapnel. There is clearly no engineering on this gun intended to vent pressure or control the manner and direction of catastrophic failure. Yes, this is clearly an ammunition issue, but you should design your gun to not kill the operator when you encounter an ammunition issue.

It's a good idea to have trauma gear on the range.

 

[HoughMade]

Lacerated jugular and lived to talk about it....his Dad is a real hero.

Yeah I saw this. I guess I won't be in such a hurry to shoot 50 bmg. Sounds like he picked up some shady ammo too. Glad he lived to talk about it.

 

[Leadeye]

Wow, that was close. I've never seen those SLAP cartridges before.

 

[Wolfhound]

It is a miracle he survived that. Says a lot about our healthcare system. Of course, there is the other side of the coin. Medflight ride, open chest emergency surgery, facial reconstruction, rebuilding his hand. That will be well into seven figures. Sure beats dying or being crippled for life though.

Never shot a .50 and dont mess w home builts or unknown builders.

Serbu isn't an unknown builder and isn't home built. They've been around since 1996.

He would have lost his eye for sure without the safety glasses.

Everybody needs a good extensive first aid/trauma kit at the range (and training to go with it).
Not just a few bandaids in case you get a slide bite.


Good thing he had an actual person filming him and not just a camera on a tripod like many Youtubers do.

 

[Hookeye]

There are a bunch of home built 50s out there.

Absolutely.

I coincidentally just watched this after seeing a link for it on facebook. It's a decent watch and that guy is lucky to be alive, let alone in the shape he seems to be in.

this wasn't one.
