Idiot. What ever happened to knowing what is beyond your target? Unless there is information he's leaving out, he had no way of stopping the bullets in the event he missed his intended target. And how could he have known that no person had come up to his home?
A 300 Win Mag could go through a modern house and through 2 other modern houses if it didn't hit brick or stud or concrete. He could've easily killed his next door neighbor in his house on the couch.
And then he sums it up with, "don't do this at home". No **** moron, except you just did. And made gun owners look like ignorant jerk offs. It's difficult to sway public perception about firearms with idiots like this making home movies for YouTube.
I like demolition ranch. He's funny and just a little bit 'o crazy. By the way, all you really need is a wood box with 2FT of sand and that'll stop a 300 WM and a 416 RM. I know, i used to dig the rounds out. And they were never more than 12-14". But that was also at 100 yards so 2+FT. Just sayin. And no, I wouldn't shoot a high powered rifle in my home regardless of backstop.
Yes, but i doubt that AR15 had a 26+" barrel for maxium FPS. Still very powerful. My friend and i built a backstop for his 100 yard range and we did heavy clay. Packed it all in. But he only made it roughly 16" deep. He thought that was plenty. I told him to make it deeper. But as my mother would say, Men never listen. At least i think thats what she said. I wasn't really listening when she said it... As you can see. 300WM went right thru it.
I was referring mostly if he missed. I agree hitting the target is probably no big deal outside of shredded jackets going everywhere. I saw a grown man go down hard in S America once from just a jacket ricocheting into him. But missing that target and drywall, plywood, and vinyl siding is not going to slow that thing down much-haha.
My dad and uncles did something similar with 22lr rifles in my grandparents basement when they were kids. Indoors is much louder and poorly ventilated.
