It would have been nice to see how the semi-auto functioned if it were held more solidly. It clearly ejected the round. Will it reliably chamber new rounds?

Could they repeat this in an aquarium full of Jello, to demonstrate the temporary and permanent expansion channels of the powder blast? Cuz that would be incredibly messy and fun to watch, despite the lack of useful info.

@Karl and Adam
Embed the entire gun in a block of ballistics gelatin?

Very nice, and interesting how much gas escaped from the front of the revolver cylinder and from the ejection port of the semiauto.
The semi auto reset the hammer, so I’m betting it would have chambered a new round correctly.

Still amazes me that nobody has ever copied the Nagant revolver idea of shoving the cylinder into the barrel. Were we really that much more advanced in the 1890s?

Though the photography is quite cool, there’s nothing new here otherwise. In the early days of the internet, someone sent me photos of a Glock being fired underwater. It cycled fine. We’ve known for over 200 years (yes; over 200 years – look up revolving flintlocks and tap guns) that a revolver cylinder gap leaks energy, and a solid barrel is more efficient. Your effective range will be not much more than a few feet underwater though, and your ears may suffer quite a bit.
OK; now try that with a 50 BMG…

I’m willing to bet his parents had to have a lot of individual conferences with his teachers as he explored his way through the school system.
That was NEAT! Thanks for sharing.
