  It was improperly reloaded ammo.  Commenters were blaming it on the Serbu's design, but he was able to destroy a Barrett with an intentionally spiked round to  prove it was the ammo

  It was later determined that the very rare and expensive SLAP ammunition he was firing was actually Bubba's p*ssing hot reloads. The accident has since been duplicated by the manufacturer of the rifle (Who has his own channel) and they basically needed to get pretty creative with the ammunition in order to get a rifle to rapidly self disassemble in a similar fashion.

  After Scott's detailed explanation, even Mark Serbu himself the creator of this rifle also gave his analysis and thoughts, I am more than okay and purchasing that EXACT model of firearm, even after this horrific accident. Mark Serbu took the time and went out of his way after one of his customers had an accident and tried his best to figure out what what happened to prevent it in the future. That is such dedication to customer service if I ever saw it

  I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this: Scott has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after this incident. Scott did admit he has PTSD. Some of the videos after April 29, 2021, show that Scott is struggling or hesitating when firing larger-caliber weapons. It makes you want to cheer for Scott even more.

  So several content creators aka "guntubers" filmed videos to be posted on his channel while he was healing up. They wanted to keep the channel active and the income coming in to help Scott during his healing. They are a community and acted like it, came together to help.

  The best part, besides Scott surviving, was how the rest of the community rallied around him.  Guys like Demo Ranch, Donut Operator, Brandon Herrera, and others help make videos for him while he was recovering so he didn't miss a beat.  Good Dudes across the board.

  All ammo here. This round was creating around 190,000+ psi (pressure extrapolated from his follow-up videos and experiments) Completely mental; so glad he’s still around.

  Scott has said in a more recent video that his eye doesn't fully dilate correctly, and the gums on that side of his face are still numb, but those are the only lasting injuries he still has. He's since gotten even stronger than he was at the time of this video, and he can now bench 400lbs, which he couldn't do before the accident

  The inventor of the gun was super cool and got involved in this.  A lot of business people wouldn't want to go near this situation but he felt the need to research why the gun he designed exploded.  It turned out to be the shady ammo in the end, but the guy is good and honest enough to want to see if this is a risk to all his other customers too

  The ammunition wasn't factory made.  I was probably hand loaded from salvaged components.
