.50 Caliber Explodes on Kentucky Ballistics

Kentucky Ballistics YouTube Creator Scott DeShields, Jr. has to be the luckiest man on Earth. While filming a shooting session with his .50 Caliber rifle, DeShields did not realize he had a hot round that was literally about to blow up in his face.

The explosion left DeShields with a broken nose, broken orbital bone, severly injured hand, and a laceration to his jugular that almost took his life. If it were not for the cameraman, DeShields Sr., he may not be alive today.

Below is the video of the experience, as told by DeShields himself.
