Title: A quick video......
Post by: Papajohn on November 26 2012 10:15:49 PM MST
My son felt the need to shoot some video while I was shooting my 10mm Witness the other day............that's him cackling in the background.  He's a lot like me.......easily amused! 

I guess you could do this with other guns, but the thunderous concussion of the hot 10mm loads made it interesting.  Enjoy.

I can't view it. Can you upload to YouTube?

It's telling me I can't, my Account isn't "enabled" to upload videos.  Do you have Windows Media player?  That opens it for me.

Oh, and sorry about the blue coffee things...........I'll switch to the red ones next time.  Nobody warned me.  :-[

Neat video, it worked for me as it opened in widows media player.

My brass would have gone over to the 4 and 5 o-clock position at 10' from my S&W with the 22 lb spring and same direction  for the Glock 29 but only 4' to 7' with the 21 lb recoil system. :o 

Thanks for sharing! :D

My brass would have gone about 20'-30' with either my Witness or my Para.  Glock makes a nice pile about 5' away.

The blue coffee container only had a couple of empties in it, which explains why the concussion bounced them up and out so well, the empties coming out of the gun were going 20+ feet to the right, some straight out, others back behind me.  This gun has a 22-lb recoil spring in it, and even with that a few of the fired brass went OVER the 12-foot wall a good 15 feet to my right.  It would seem that tuning the ejector might be a good idea here, I think the factory spring was 18 pounds, but changing to the heavier 22-lb spring didn't have much effect on where they wound up.  Finding my fired brass was a lengthy process, some of them were 30+ feet from where I was sitting.

I've shot some heavy handgun rounds off a bench in the past with noticeable effects from the concussion, but the worst was using a warm 460 S&W load out of a stock S&W revolver with a muzzle brake.  Nylon bags and ammo boxes were chased off the bench top pretty quickly, and the tin roof rang like a gong with every shot!
