One Big-Ass .50 BMG Experiment - Recipe For Disaster - Video

**Don't Try This At Home!!**

Take 1 big-ass cup of coffee:


Take 1 big-ass Sanctuary safe:


Take 1 big-ass oxygen tank:


Take 1 big-ass Armour-piercing incendiary .50 bmg:


Take 1 big-ass Serbu .50 rifle:


- Sip coffee.
- Place oxygen tank inside safe, close door.
- Sip more coffee.
- Load .50 Armour-piercing bullet in rifle.
- Sip a little bit more coffee.
- Aim at safe and shoot.
- Where's my coffee gone...?

What do you think will happen...?

Go to about 5 mins. into the video if you don't want to watch the preamble.



Personally, I wasn't expecting that... pretty bad-ass!

They were about two houses away. I was thinking, I wouldn't be in the neighborhood. I'd get out of town.

I expected much uglier results than that. I figured somebody was going to take shaprnel. They were lucky. Dumb luck.

Water water water tape three sides lol

That sh!t is tooooo funny

Too true.

Could have been a different video entirely.

I watched this episode a couple weeks ago and thought it was an epic explosion. One of the best on YouTube IMO.

Remind me please, isn't O2 an oxidizer? Its not the fuel its self? Not that I'm aware of in any event.

Do you suppose that is purely the force of the pressure of compressed Oxygen exploding from its pressure vessel that caused such carnage?

Watch his next video, Jesperito or however you say his partners name. He says he does not feel "safe" being that close. LOL

No idea of the science behind such power from compressed oxygen. However, now that I think about it, does everyone remember what happened in Jaws when Chief Brody shot the diver's tank the shark had in his mouth? This tank is 4x the size!

Me either, I have seen many pressure vessels shot with that caliber and usually they rocket around the ground or turn into fire balls. Never have I seen one detonate with such vigor. Absolute carnage!

a reply to: Encia22

I do! It has got to be the pressure of the tank. Think of all the kinetic energy lying in wait.
Divers gas is, don't quote me, a mixed gas of oxygen nitrogen and a few others. Leads me to believe that its more or less a catastrophic release of the pressure inside.

I forgot all about the use of water charges.

"Almost" as close a call to FPS Russia's Tannerite filled Truck

Jeez! I can't stop laughing. It's like Breaking Bad meets Myth Busters.
"I better clean this up. My uncle lands his airplane here.". HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
Great find OP!!!!

a reply to: Dalamax

Oh yeah! Water charges. A bit out of my area but I remember. LOL!

One of my daughters' coworkers dropped a residents small oxy tank knocking the regulator off; the tank shot through two walls before coming to rest.

There's a whole lot of PSI in those tanks!

a reply to: nugget1

Kinetic energy trying to reach equilibrium with its surroundings, just imagine this in space, no friction so no drag....can you image the velocity of that energetic release?

a reply to: shaneslaughta

Absolutely! Although, all that power would have to be controlled and directed, perhaps pulsed. Would intermittent, short bursts, exponentially increase the speed? Also, would it be possible to regenerate the depleted gas and keep it highly compressed?

If nothing else, it would be environmentally friendly if it were pure oxygen, LOL.

I have such fond memories of kill houses 🤭

I must state for the record however, never volunteer that you want to learn how to ride a motorcycle when the Olympics are in town, the sf want to practice storming an airplane and they need bums in seats to simulate unaware passengers.

Third rule broken, lesson learned.

Everyone should have a military education

For being involved in such an excellent way to pass the time them fellers didn’t seem very enthused.

Yes. There was no flame involved, therefore no oxidation of fuel. The same thing would have happened with Nitrogen or any other gas.

The standard pressure of an Oxygen cylinder is 2000 psi. The volume of the safe was only maybe 5 times the volume of the cylinder, according to my eyeball. Releasing all that gas into the volume of the safe would instantaneously bring the pressure in the safe up to 400 psi. Assuming that one wall of the safe is about 60 inches by 18 inches, that amount of pressure would exert somewhere in excess of 430,000 pounds of force (approximately 215 tons) on one of the walls of the safe.
