Tosh.
A stalling position.
He has not addressed the fact that it was not the cap that stripped, it was the barrel threads that sheared. The steel, and hardness/strength of that portion is not under his control AFAIK.
Blustering about his Ukranian friend's analysis at a distance is far from convincing. I could do that too, now knowing that it is a 1.5" x 12 thread.
And, BTW, only three and a bit threads were engaged, by design, so it is blindingly obvious that only three and a bit threads would be sheared. Blooming obvious.
From what I can see he gets the barrels in from ??? then turns a miniscule thread on the end. Then welds them onto the rest, also heating up that portion. Previously using a dope head to do this "ha ha". His demonstration of his own Tig welding skills elsewhere were lamentable. As were his attitudes to safety, in every respect. And his p**s-poor analysis of strength of materials in gun design, in another of his videos.
Certainly the ammo may have been at fault as well, but who knows ?. Who will ever know, if "Scott" sends it to him, along with the bits. I doubt that Serbu is competent to analyse it, nevermind has access a pressure test lab. This will only go one way, and Serbu has yet again revealed his bias/denial.
He has not yet received the bits back from the "heroic" gullible/stupid man who seemed to think that he was invincible, and seemingly was. Well he also has had major views on his youtubery and tee shirt sales, so not doing so badly considering his idiocy.
FFS, he had also been putting Raufoss through it, for sh*ts and giggles. Or so he claims.
Also BS about how the sticky up lugs were actually strong enough to restrain any foreseeable event.
Not that any safety features were necessary because it was so vastly stronger than could ever be required.
In any case, it's all about the ammo, the gun is unquestionable ? Predictable.
No news here, and probably never will be, ISTM that he is well out of his depth on this one.
Seriously I am very bored with this, and hope never to have to see his shonky guns. Honestly I doubt his (late learned) engineering credentials, and am aghast at some of his attitudes. As for the chap who is/was cosying up to his daughter, whom he humours, and whom he built this for, well, he is certainly an odd one.
But, hey ho, he has delivered at least $1,300,000 worth of these things already and is apparently backed up with many more orders, according to him. It's the American way.
Why are we bothering to discuss this ?
