TSE revolver blew up. Edit: old video.

[driller212]

Revolvers are dangerous that way, if you have a squib and you don't notice, the next round is kaboom. That was why we never allowed any rapid fire of revolvers on the range. Unfortunately when you have millions of rounds going downrange every year from rental guns, the occasional rare kaboom is unavoidable.

A segement of video may be referred to as a video "clip", BTW

I didnt think I needed to put “(sarcasm off)” for the joke. I guess I did.

I caught that. Hence the smiley above my post. Somehow I got it on the top, instead of the text.

We actually track these "bug" guns fairly closely as they are not in the same league as 9mm or .45... but sometimes #### just happens.

Fortunately for everyone, no one was injured in the slightest.

Best possible outcome of such an incident!
Thanks for updating this as I know that was the first question out of everyone I showed this to

What happened to the revolver frame? Is it still in the environment?

 

[hfx123]

Someone told the revolver it had to go to a educational seminar on customer service. It had been around the store so long it decided it was just easier to self destruct

 

[SKS Bitten]

Wow! First time I seen this video. Thanks

Jr, can you confirm if it was indeed a squib and what did smith and Wesson say?

It was NOT a sqib. The forcing cone split.

The revolver was replaced.

Wow, glad the shooter was ok. Maybe an invisible wave hit it! Lol that video still has me laughing.

 

[valentinemichaelsmith]

Honestly his follow through is amazing considering the circumstances...lol

 

[Rooster504]

Omg this generation is so soft....just wear a welding helmet when you shoot and youll be fine

 

[pure.black.xiii]
