A man almost died while testing a grenade launcher (3 photos + 2 videos)
While filming a video reviewing weapons, an RPG-7 exploded in the man’s hands. The blogger received shrapnel wounds, burns and fractures, but survived and was able to recover.
In one of the latest videos from the Ballistic High Speed channel, Adam Knowles tested shots from an RPG-7 grenade launcher. Preparations for release were serious: with the help of a professional group, he restored the weapon and welded the hole in the barrel.
The grenade launcher was also checked using X-rays and under pressure - experts did not find any problems. However, during testing, something went wrong and the RPG-7 exploded in Adam's hands.
The result of the unsuccessful experiment: a fractured skull and cheekbone, many shrapnel wounds, severe burns to the hands. Now the guy has already recovered and says that he feels much better.
A video was recently released of Knowles watching himself watch the incident for the first time.
