The preservation of the 1905 Comstock House is mainly thanks to Mrs. "A great mistake, Wilson, they'll never make it - his family's too damn aristocratic." The 1918 marriage of the farmer's daugher and the man who became a Superior Court judge did indeed "make it " Hilliard and Helen were wed for almost fifty years, and raised five children.
I don't have a problem with people making YouTube content like his, but if theres even a single doubt about the age of the ammunition or about the safety rating for the weapon they shouldn't touch it."Wilson, I hear your daughter's gonna marry Hilliard Comstock," the barkeep of Santa Rosa's fabled Senate saloon said to farmer Wilson Finley, according to family legend. This round that exploded was multiple times more powerful and the guy would have been injured putting that round through any weapon, the fact he is still alive is miraculous and several things saved him - his eye protection, pure luck that the other shards of metal missed his head, that he had someone there to get him to hospital and the fact he had the wherewithal to plug his jugular injury with his thumb. But it has literally zero furniture behind the firing pin, there is nothing between the shooters face and the enormous energy of a 50 caliber bullet. The particular thing about this case is the weapon itself is a cheap civilian option for shooting 50 BMG and actually multiple content creators have picked it up because it's a cheap way to shoot 50.
It was a bullet that is no longer in production and could have been manufactured incorrectly, degraded over time or even been a deliberate "hot round" or squib which proliferated in the cold war to deliberately have this happen to enemy combatants and realistically there is no way he could have known before it exploded instantly in the chamber. The gun didn't explode because he was a dumb southern guy doing dumb southern things. The lack of self awareness about why all of this is a bad idea is.astounding. The round was basically super OP and exploded the gun. He jammed his thumb into his neck to at the bleeding and got driven to the local hospital where he was treated and then airlifted to a bigger one.ĭuring the drive he thought about his kids to keep himself conscious and therefore keeping pressure on his artery.įun detail, he was firing "slap rounds" whatever they are but apparently they're not made any more and he bough some ex surplus at 100 dollars per bullet. He talks about how his cameraman (his dad - who smiles for the camera) came over and told him about his injuries. He shows a short clip of the gun exploding but he turns away from the camera when it does so you don't see any blood or injuries. He also got punctured in the neck and lacerated his artery, as well as collapsed his right lung. He broke his orbital lobe and was temporarily blind in one eye. He explains that he did all the right things (except deciding to do the whole thing in the first place) and quickly shows his injuries. He talks about setting the gun up and firing 2 or 3 rounds into a fire hydrant. If you don't want to give the channel more views, then here's a brief text version:. I initially watched the video thinking it was a spoof but the longer it went on the more real it gets. Like they're not toys, even if you follow all the safety protocols, there's still a chance something goes badly wrong. He seems to completely miss the part where he decided to fire a massive gun, for fun, and it blew up. Secondly he spends quite a bit of the video saying that he didn't do anything wrong at any point. First off, and by far the most important, I'm glad he's "ok" and his kids don't have to grow up without a dad.
