    The 380 in the 9mm chambers is no more dangerous than a 38 in a 357. On the others the only real issue is gas leakage since the bullets are smaller and no real pressures can build. He is not holding these in his hand. I find it more interesting than most of the stuff posted on YouTube.

    Have you seen the new single shot .223 pistol? Can't imagine the muzzle blast if you get anywhere near a complete burn.

    I also noticed that the guy above is wearing his Aggie ring. For what it's worth, he did appear to be doing his dumb things safely.

    Looks like a 9mm fired in a 40 S&W. Have a bunch of people firing a bunch of guns that they don't own and it happens. To prevent it you probably need designated firearm loaders. As long as they fire small cartridges in oversized chambers nothing real bad is going to happen. Hot loads in old or light built guns could be bad as could short cartridges fired in smaller caliber guns. I say short because it would have to fit in a long chamber,ie a 308 fired in a 257 Roberts or 6'5/06 .

    Well stated and you are correct that the fireball on that would be very impressive. I fired an M4A1 with a 10" barrel and the fireball was impressive.

    Not nearly as bad as the Taurus judge that my ffl had someone bring him for repair. It had a cylinder full of .454 cases stuck in it. You really can't save some people from themselves.

    I don't think you would ever blow one up or embed the bolt in your face. Amazing how over built they are and when you think about how old the metal is...

    It IS amazing how that Mosin took that much over pressure and would still shoot. I have one that the local Fleet Farm sold for $99.95 a few years back. Mine shoots just fine, but those battle sights are real hard to shoot accurately.

    Still I hated to see it destroyed. treating ANY gun like that is a sin. Some kid would/could treasure it and probably shoot it a lot.

    There is a guy making better sights for the Mosins, http://www.smith-sights.com/ and a shim kit that really helps accuracy. Yeah I hate to see a gun destroyed too, bubba gunsmith jobs I can live with, the gun is still useable! Especially if it is a nothing special unmatched numbers Mosin
