Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe Demolition Ranch team tests the \"Nightmare,\" a .300 Winchester Magnum pistol with a short 8-inch barrel. The experiment focuses on the extreme muzzle flash, recoil, and destructive power of firing a magnum round from a compact frame, concluding with stress tests and a unique firing session inside a cave to observe its mechanical behavior.
This is called the nightmare. You want to shoot it? Yeah. I don't actually know why they call it that. Have fun.
Nice! What'd you think?
There's spiders. What?
There's spiders.
Do you see? Get them off of me. There's no spiders. Get the spiders off of me.

Uh, yeah. What is it? Huh? Anything I should know?
No, it's three in a windbag. Seems like she's pretty good, but everybody keeps freaking out. Okay. Well.
Nailed it. Nice shot.
Well, what'd you think?
What is it? Commitment! What? I'm not ready to get married. I won't do it. I have no idea what's wrong with these guys.

Welcome to demolition ranch this in front of me is a nemo
Omen 300 Winchester Magnum in an AR configuration big carbon fiber barrel
It's got a suppressor. It's got a big scope on it and
A sniper stock this thing is it's a long rifle
So what if we made it shorter you've already seen it cuz it was in the intro, but we have the short version
This is the same gun, but it has a tiny barrel. They call this package the nightmare and it is a pistol. It's a
300 Winchester Magnum
Pistol so instead of a 24 inch barrel, which is you know
What you'd want with a 300 Winchester mag because you want a lot of room to get that thing up to speed
That's how that round does good. They put an 8 inch barrel on it
This is a toy obviously like it's there's no real practical purpose for this
But they said they were making them and we were like, yeah, we we want to test that
We actually just did a similar video with our short barreled AR upper
This is a five five six and the fireball coming out of this thing was insane. That was a three point seven five, right?
Four point seven five four point seven five inch barrel on the AR. This one has an eight inch barrel, but
the
Size difference of these cartridges is huge. So we brought out that as well as our crank
Just because it's a short barrel five five six brought some short barreled guns to play with as well
We shot this thing in the intro as you saw, but we have not actually shot this thing in real life
We're gonna film the intro after we film this. So we are gonna shoot this thing for the first time
right now and
Deafen all of our ears. We're gonna try out a 300 win mag out of an 8 inch barrel and see if it runs
This will be our first shot. So we have not sighted it in of course, but what else is new?
Welcome to demolition ranch. I'm just gonna shoot at the berm
Y'all good smart. I kind of get behind you. I know like this
This fireballs, it's also super bright. It's gonna be hard to see it maybe but it's gonna be very concussive
I'm afraid I'm a burn my hand ready. Yeah firing
Okay, oh my god
That's what I was aiming at. It's just chopped in half
Now what I wonder you normally wouldn't shoot steel at this close of range, but it it's not going as fast as the normal
300 win mag, right
No, but yeah, you're right we could shoot it a little bit of an angle. Yeah, let's see if this thing's even sighted in though I
Mean golly
Sighted in minute a man. Is there a fireball? Yes. My eyes are closed. No
It's coming out the side of that thing pretty pretty intensely feels crazy. Yeah
Here I'm gonna get more to the side. All right, you ready? Yep. I
Mean, it's it's sighted in just put it on there. Holy cow
All right, y'all gotta shoot this thing thumps that's crazy
It's crazy that it pushes you back here
We're good. It's a clear now shoot one and then I want to shoot one of these to compare the blast
That's way quieter
Really clears out the sinuses what's crazy is how loud this one seemed
Like when we just did this one. Yeah, I think a lot of that's that that break that break is tamed boys
Yeah, it's not kicking out the side like this one. But was there still a fireball? I didn't really see a fireball
No, I wonder let me just take that break off. Let's take the the crank even at eight inches. That's true
Let's do the creek. So Jenna's gonna shoot this thing and I'll come in and shoot the crank which is
Unsuppressed and has a muzzle brake on it
Ready yeah
Yeah, that's nuts these guns that seem so freaking loud
Alone when you put them next to that thing, they seem like little baby guns. Yeah
This is the long barreled Nemo. We just put the scope on here. So it's not sighted and we just want to do a little
Grouping test and see if there's a difference because obviously these are made for long range and we're at super long range right now, obviously
Here they are all three of them. That was my first shot and I wasn't used to that trigger
So I kind of pulled a little bit
But I think this is more realistic and we're gonna shoot the short barrel and see if it's similar at this range and the shorty
Oh, man, well, this doesn't burn the
gun case also
We'll see if it hits anywhere close
Things fun. Here's our three round group
Yeah, if I wouldn't have messed up the trigger on that one, I think that'd be way tighter this one
I had good pulls, but we only had 1x but still yeah, it's doable
You put a scope on the 8 inch barrel you could do it and obviously the long barrel with a real rest
With good ammo. This is just the cheap stuff. We got
would be better but
These short one we don't care about accuracy. We care about fireballs and shooting fast
I could not see anything just fire
So I was thinking that muzzle brake really directs all the the flash and the gas is out the sides and up
So I took it off. So everything would just go straight forward. We'll see how big of a fireball we can get
Slow down. There's kids in this neighborhood
Dang crazy bikers and teenagers
That look like Dragon Ball Z also we did not record the end of the fireball so we're gonna do it again
With a little bit wider view and Mikey's gonna shoot a fireball out of his hands go back a little bit
up a little
Tiny bit down
Okay fire
Well that nobody was supposed to do it yet
Man on the dark day would be so much better. Yeah
That goes far that does go really far back that's like 10 feet in front of you
Do you guys actually want to suppress this thing? Yes
Put a suppressor. Yeah
They said they said they don't recommend it. They don't say don't do it. They didn't say don't do it
They just said probably shouldn't do it
So they should have told us no we're gonna do it we decided before we suppress it I probably should
Shoot other things just in case we destroy anything by suppressing
The gun you're not supposed to suppress
Quit complaining about my long grass. Mr. Johnson
You got him I thought his head would explode I did too I
Kind of thought his head would have exploded
But he's tough or I'm just like nicking him
Yeah, I mean that that's a bullet hole I had to hit him in the shoulders earlier, too
Some exits
Huh?
It must just not been as fluid filled as normal usually their heads get way grosser it's oozing
But there's at least a couple solid dead center hits and his skull is definitely crunchy
Resilient I'm gonna shoot a black tip three in a wind mag at that rock
Sweet
Now this is a blue tip Nemo actually sent this to us
Around we're gonna shoot that guy in the head with it and see what happens
They just not they're not exploding
How thick's that rock Mikey like a foot probably like six inches
Mikey found a rock that's
Nearly a foot thick and he thinks that an API round will break it in half and I don't so we're betting a taco on
It I'm gonna hit it dead center with an API round. We'll see what happens
You're gonna owe me a taco
I
Grew up shooting rocks
You merely adopted 100 he was born in it you merely adopted the rock shooting
Didn't do it
That's it's only like 10 inches thick
nothing, I
That came from this rock, I guess yeah, this is steel
That's oh, yeah, that's the black tip
Holy cow, so that's a tungsten core
Wild that's nuts. How would it just be sitting on it? It goes in here
exerts all this energy and goes
I mean it must that's crazy. Look at this guy
Exit wound
Demonetized
Since we're already monetized. Let's blow up that suppressor and then let's shoot in the cave stick your finger in his head. It feels so
Gross in the back now do it do it. I did it. Oh
I do not like losing a bet
Definitely demonetized. We have a suppressor on it. This is Texas silencer Co
30 cal suppressor rated for three in a wind mag. Mm-hmm out of a normal barrel
So we'll see it works on the other one pretty well. Okay, we got a string on a trigger
Going across a bunch of junk in my truck firing
It might have been too tight to reset the trigger, but it did fire. It doesn't get exploded. Oh
Whoops
Mmm, it's a good thing. We have two of those that's called over pressure
I think Queen wrote a song about that. Yikes
That's crazy. Whoopsie daisy. I've never seen that
It went out. I mean it ejected the round but rocks over there
There was so much pressure that it just swelled it right there in that first baffle
Cool. All right. Now we know don't do that. I'm glad I wasn't holding it
Okay, here's the plan we have a
30 win mag pistol on a stick
Normal stuff. We're gonna drop it down. We've got this rope tied to the trigger
Normal stuff. All right. Yeah, I'll do it science. This is for science
The world needs to know okay, you got to turn it off safe. And then we got to accidentally not fire it
The guns be pointing straight down
So it should hit dirt about
40 feet below us. Let me give you a lot of slack here firing
Hold on. I got a slack out. Oh slacks out. Are you ready? Yeah firing
Dang it
Did we break the gun? We might have broken the gun with that suppressor. Our mag wasn't seated all the way
So when we cocked it, it did not chamber a round
Turns out you need that to fire. All right slacks coming out. Okay win. You're ready. Yep
Firing
That sounded funny. How did it feel Mikey? Recoil-wise?
Full mag?
Yeah
Okay, okay. I don't put ten rounds in it. If it doesn't run all ten. I won't be surprised because this is like
Limp-wrist City obviously
You're supposed to have a shoulder to the gun so it'll cycle correctly
We're just letting the gun float around in space. So we'll see ten rounds if it makes it through it
I'll be very surprised and impressed. Our stick was impeding the
Charging handle, so I think we moved it now
Yep, so I think it
That part is fixed at least but the limp-wrist thing. We'll still see if that if they can get over that you're on fire
Yep. Okay. Does the cave count as a giant suppressor?
Are we is this a felony?
No, because I say so I give you think about it like the bigger the expansion chamber the better the suppression, right?
Since ours is a room. It's the best suppressors ever been although it wasn't quiet
So, okay, I'm gonna fire one first ready. Nope. Nope. Click. Did that click?
Dang it. What if that bolt wouldn't only closed?
So nine rounds left one went down the hole already, okay good there. Yep slack going out
firing
Ready yeah, we did two in a row. Yeah
Ready yeah, three
Yep, she's clear that was all of our rounds
Successfully fired in a cave. Thanks so much for watching this episode. We have the Nemo
Nightmare making cave demons nightmares become a reality. Thanks for watching. I love you. I'll see you next time
