YouTube - 357 Magnum barrel blows off

Cool parting shot.

Hope it was a rental

Here are the details from the video

The barrel of a gun ranges's rental Taurus stainless steel 357 magnum blew clean off after we fired about 20 rounds threw it. I happened to be taking video at the time. The guy shooting had some slightly burned and battered fingers but was otherwise fine. Ammo was factory Magtech bought at the range, and the only other ammo we had with us was 22LR

Huh, I had no idea there was a revolver that you could use for long range/hunting and then turn it into a snubby for carry. Only Taurus would think of that.

Hmmm.... did you notice the huge fireball in the slow-motion shot? I'm not ready to blame Taurus for this one.
