Kentucky Ballistics just did a 4-Bore rifle.
It's pretty brutal

This is basically, "Make no mistake, you're going to die! Now let me explain to you exactly how brutally you're going to die in extensive detail."

I would love to see Professor Flannel and Doctor Raynor do a live cooperation on weird rounds and other wounds

Best advice regarding survival of a 50 cal hit is definitely just do not get hit.

@loganwhite3904 3 years ago

I love your explanations combined with Garand Thumb's firearms expertise

@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA 3 years ago

When you mentioned hoping nobody ever has to come across someone with that type of injury. I have attended wounded people before and explosives were just Doa, they were just noted and moved on from no attempt to provide aid as it was clear they were gone.

Lieutenant General Charles Pitman was recovering from an injury “from a .50 cal round” when he intervened in the New Orleans Sniper situation in 1973. Whether this was a bmg or fragmentation from a .50 hitting his helicopter, I do not know, but I’m still gonna count it because he was awesome.

Greg Lemond, US’s only Tour de France champion was shot with a shotgun in 1987. 35 pellets still remain in his body, including 3 embedded in his heart lining and 5 more in his liver. He went on to win the Tour de France for the second time in 89, and the third in 90.

Former medic here not military medic but I did serve in the army before being a medic. I love how you go deep into every subject you have done so far thanks for being the same as how I was taught 30 years ago see one do one teach one. Blood goes round and round air goes in and out O2 is great. All bleeding stops eventually.

Fun fact, the .50BMG round used was originally designed for the Browning machine gun. That's also what the BMG stands for.

@whyjnot420 3 years ago

It truly is amazing that we have the ability to save people like the solider here who took that .50. Even if he did beat the odds, the fact that he had odds to beat in the first place is stunning.

Truly, enough cannot be said about the people involved in making such things possible. From the people who design the surgical instruments all the way to the people who actually do the surgery. From the people who administer first aid, to those who provide physical therapy after surgery. I take my hat off to all of them.

Dr. Raynor,

I just found your channel via a gun channel. I've only watched about 10 minutes of your content so far but I'm already so impressed I had to pause the video and tell you how much value your channel brings. Medical education, which can be helpful in a number of ways including arousing interest in entering the medical field, as well as an entertaining yet sobering analysis of the devastation firearms can cause, reinforcing the importance of an ever improving safety culture. Thanks so much! Keep it up!

I think a video like this for bladed weapons would be really cool. Like the cut tests they do against pig carcasses and ballistic dummies on "Forged in Fire" or "Deadliest Warrior." A guy on YouTube called "Skarsgard," has some neat ancient weapons videos.
I still like these gun ones. Destroying inanimate objects is pretty awesome. Did you see the video of this guy shooting a dummy at near point blank range with a tank and a howitzer? That was wicked pissah!!

@badhaggus4269 3 years ago

Yes, Doctor, the video of the tank rounds hitting a human torso was very informative in that the only way to determine the damage was reviewing the high speed images, really nothing left of the torso to look at after the rounds hit other than a poorly made jello salad thrown around in the dirt.

These collab videos with professor Thumb are pure gold.

@Dr. Chris Raynor, "I can not medically explain why patient is able to walk, and do all that he does " -- the last surgeon's report who had ordered MRIs. I wasn't hit with a .50BMG...BUT my spine was destroyed by an off-duty cop doing 50mph in a 25mph in an F150, then continued working six months with a broken back before surgery.

Neurological instruments and images indicate I should be a paraplegic. I can't feel the ground when I walk...but I taught myself to walk again. I'm constantly pushing the envelope of my physical ability while respecting my limits.

WHEN IT COMES TO SPINES AND NERVES... the best surgeons are humble ones.

Thankfully, I listened to my neurosurgeon and NOT the "Pain Specialist" who gave me nerve ablations and wanted to install a morphine pump less than 12 mos post op.

When it comes to pain, nerves, spines and brains, doctors don't like to admit how little they truly know, or that treating pain is only "theories". I'm not unique in baffling doctors with a recovery after a debilitating spinal cord injury fuller than they expected.

Explosive .50 cal. The poor man's artilery.

@TH4L3G1TK1NG 3 years ago

What even more scary about the RAUFUS round, is the "armor" he used to protect the dummy isn't armor at all, its a very thick plate made out of hardened steel meant specifically to be shot hundreds of thousands, if not millions of times, that would be waaay to heavy from practical use as armor. so the fact that the round passed strait through like an inch and a half of hardened steel is insane
