Some more smokeless in a percussion revolver

[bigted]

Bout swallowed my tongue as i watched a YouTube from July 2018 where this goof actually loaded smokeless powder (clays) directly into the percussion cylinder. And his powder measure ( hold onto your **** now ) with a teaspoon. He actually said outloud on video that his charge is ... READY ... 3/4 of the teaspoon.

Now there is sooooo much wrong here i can scarcely speak about it but feel very strongly that before some innocent standing beside the individual that loads his/her Remington new model Army with 3/4 of a teaspoon of clays powder and loads 30 grains corn meal over the clays then crunching a ball over the mess and with rudimentary pressure with the loading lever.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help me spread the word about the danger of this horrific load that is begging to grenade on him or worse yet ... on the poor unsuspecting folks that would be on either side of this foolishness.

I may very well be late to the party but .. if so as long as this unproven idjit is spreading this absolutely dangerous foolishness.

That my speel. Thanks for the help i know will be coming from this crazy mans suicide pact with himself.

Yes he actually had a table teaspoon that he said outloud ... 3/4 full is his load of clays powder

I used to go to a Harley dealer that had a real 58 Remington hanging on the wall that was wrecked. cylinder split with a chunk missing and the top strap half blown off. some fool tried smokeless in it.

as for you tube I would not even let 90% of those experts even look at one of my guns let alone handle it.

There's an old saying, "Don't believe anything that you hear and only half of what you see".

Unfortunately there are people who fake videos like that to get foolish watchers to actually do the things they do. Most of those are innocuous, harmless comedy. But there are those who do it with the intention of getting someone hurt. I don't know how the policy of youtube is for those kinds of things but this guy needs to be reported and have his video taken down. There is free speech and then there are malicious dangerous pranks.

You can report videos on YouTube by clicking on the three small dots at the bottom right of the video 'screen.' One of the reasons for reporting them is harmful or dangerous content.

If anyone wishes to try something like this without checking it out, its called Darwinism at work, and we could use a lot more of it in my opinion.

LOL. Yep i hear ya. I just would hate to hear of an innocent standing beside such a dip****( and getting a full impact from the shrapnel that very well could blind, maim or even kill ... especially our youngsters that are learning about the fun and historic arts of gun handling to be subjected to some igjit that is trying some crud he has seen on his tv in his/her front room and is new enough to shooting these great front stuffer weapons. You know that as with drunk drivers ... an incident usually only maimed the inocents and the idjit goes about their careless ways.

Greatnortherndad is the publisher and his title for the vid is;

SMOKELESS POWDER IN A 58 REMINGTON REVOLVER

Please help me in reporting this before some innocent gets hurt.

[KCSO]

Sorry I can't help it...soon there will be one idiot less in the world. No sympathy here.

[Beerd]

I'm not much of a you-toober, does the video show him actually shooting that load?

In the video, he alternates smokeless and black powder in the cylinder - every other chamber has smokeless, right next to the BP chambers. Many people warned him in the comment section, but others backed him. As long as he is all by his lonesome, and no one else is in danger, I say screw him and his stupidity. He will be a statistic before long. Maybe someone will pry the shattered cylinder from his sloped forehead and post it for others to see.

[JSnover]

Ya can't save 'm all. Warnings didn't stop him, reporting his vids will probably just make him cry about censorship. Meanwhile there's a million other idiots burning and stabbing themselves, eating detergent pods. I gave up reporting stupid people when I realized we are woefully outnumbered.

[Chill Wills]

If that does not kill him the outcome of other poor choices will. There is just no fixing stupid.

Of course we need to make C&B pistols illegal - because the family of people that use them wrong will be going after the manufactures.

Too bad he already (likely) contributed to the gene pool.

[JSnover]

At least he appears to work alone so isn't a direct threat to anyone else.

[bigted]

As long as he is by his lonesome i say good riddance. Probably wont be tho. And i would bet he will be first in line to bring the lawsuit. What a dink

[rfd]

reported to youtube as i'm sure others have done so as well.

stupid public videos such as this one are not only dangerous to the uninformed, they're a blight on we in the firearms community.

[Traffer]

I watched the video and was inspired to modify one of these pistols to shoot cartridge ammunition. I actually think that what he was doing was, with all things considered, fairly safe. HOWEVER. I do think that there are many people who know very little about guns who would certainly get the wrong impression about the video. It does make substituting smokeless for black powder look pretty harmless. And that should not be allowed. Giving people a false sense of security about a dangerous thing is the WORST thing a person can do on youtube (or anywhere else for that matter)

Wonder how many grains of clays that actually is ? No matter still a foolish venture

The thing he did (that will spike pressures) is using compacted fillers!
That will bring a load from low safe to high danger in no time flat.

I had (@1/4") bullet set back in a 1911 and that destroyed the barrel!
Due to insufficient crimp, recoil rattled the bullet and BOOM.
