[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2189149, member: 115658"] I know Wikipedia is liberal oriented but: [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_thrust[/URL] This gives some insight into this event with the .50 BMG round. Then there is the larger diameter threaded cap , "Also keep in mind pound per square inch." My thinking is that a huge volume of high pressure gas (expanding in all directions) combined with the .50 BMG bolt thrust (12,117 kiloponds), pushed on the threaded cap and as the area of the cap was greater increased force was exerted (psi) on it and the shallow V threads failed. Would the brake contribute to internal pressure elevation if partially obstructed by sabot debris? - like check the bore for obstructions, patches, mud or whatever. Rifle remnants looked sort of cleaned up for a claim then there is the sabot ammo used of doubtful quality. The man sure looked beat up on the hospital bed. As I remember from first aid training - stop the bleeding, pressure on wound or sticking an object into hole whether it be a thumb or ammo round. I never saw a hydrant used as a target - during night darkness would various forest canines line up to mark the hydrant? [/QUOTE]
