Thats the key to our cities pigeon issues, just release thousands of pelican into the streets.

Then if they become an issue, I'm sure we can release some pelican eating bears or something #Austrailian solution.

Seems like a sound idea. This is like the line they rejected from “I know an old lady that swallowed a fly” as it sounded too far-fetched.

If you are very impatient (YIC) you can skip to 4m20s, but ai recommend you don’t as the start sets the scene of what he is up to.....

Guns be dangerous :?
Guns can be dangerous, especially if you
Buy the cheapest .50cal rifle in the world
Buy ammo that was notorious for blowing military machines guns up (the sabot on the ammo can break up in the barrel, big boom has nowhere to go but out the back of the gun)
Buy that ammo piecemeal rather than by lot - so no consistency round to round

General consensus of the Online Armchair Firearms Forensics seems to be either:

Sabot jam = big bang that the gun could be reasonably be expected to handle, but because the big bang stayed at the back of the barrel, rather than leaving the end of it after the round left it (because bits of sabot are blocking it) the bang never leaves, blowing the back out of it of the gun. Just dropping the barrel in mud and not clearing it out can cause that, it doesn't take much.

Badly handloaded round = bigger bang than the gun could be reasonably expected to handle regardless, blowing the back out of the gun. Apparently quite easy if you use the wrong powder by accident.

Either way, with hindsight, accident waiting to happen, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that. Luckily for him it sounds like he'll have his vision back after he's healed up.

I really don’t know much about the subject, but when he started talking about the age of the ammo and not having any idea how it had been stored etc etc..... 🤔 😬
