It sure could have turned out worse. Thank the Lord it didn't.

Daaang, he's pretty lucky. One thing about messing with the 50 BMG, it won't hurt you, it will kill you.

God Bless him. I do think there were clues that could've put up a red flag. Increasing muzzle blast and erratic accuracy for a couple. I do know from personal experience ammunition that is old and has been jostled around especially if heated, like carried on a dashboard for a while, can degrade the powder and change burning characteristics. It happened to friend of mine with factory 6mm Remington ammo. He did everything right and thanks to his dad and his exceptional health they managed to cheat death. That video is flinch worthy.

Looks like a Serbu RN50, didn’t listen to the audio. Hell would freeze before I’d shoot a .50 BMG round in a break action hammer gun with a threaded breech cap.
I am..........disturbed.

The gun maker said that only took 85K PSI. 85K isn't really all that much pressure....in a real action.....and that's all it took to about kill this guy.

SAAMI pressure proof loads in 30/06 are about 84kPSI so maybe it wasn't that unreasonable - maybe Serbu tested to the same?
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Sounds like a common carotid artery injury, not a jugular vein laceration. Very fortunate that he had training and his dad acted quickly. Best way to control arterial bleeding from penetrating wounds when a tourniquet can’t be applied is direct digital acclusion through the entrance hole. Good approach to remember.
