How and Why Guns Explode

If you haven’t already seen the video at Kentucky Ballistics about the catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50, you should take a look at it. Below is a link to Ian McCollum’s video about why catastrophic firearm failures occur.

“Just yesterday Scott at Kentucky Ballistics posted a very sobering video detailing his Serbu RN-50 quite literally exploding in his face. A lot of people have asked if I have seen it, and I figured this is a good opportunity to discuss the different ways in which guns can explode, and what some manufacturers have historically done to fail-safe their designs.”
