Why this story? The video is running at 21,174 views a day, 19 times its usual pace (1,134).

The 30-30 Revolver !!!

"When you hear 30-30, you probably think of your grandpappy's lever-action rifle," Kentucky Ballistics host Scott says. What he has in his hands is rather different: a giant Magnum Research BFR revolver chambered for that same cartridge.

His September upload, "The 30-30 Revolver !!!", has picked up about 21,000 views in a day, nearly nineteen times its usual daily pace. This is an older demonstration getting another turn, rather than a fast start for a new release.

The video moves quickly from the introduction to an abandoned car, a concrete cinder block and an old armored truck. The block shatters; Scott examines the remains, then checks the truck's impact holes from both sides. His verdict on the revolver arrives before most of the shooting: "This thing is ridiculous, and I love it!"

The comments pick up on the contrast between familiar ammunition and oversized handgun. Some viewers discuss having a rifle and sidearm chambered for the same cartridge; others recall their own lever-action rifles. One jokes about Magnum Research dreaming up whatever it can persuade Scott to buy next. Another reaches for a movie comparison: the absurdly long revolver in Men in Black.

Anyone else think Magnum Research just sits around wondering what they can get Scott to buy next?

Now that's a personal carry. 😂 Reminds me of that scene in Men In Black where the tow truck driver pulls out a ridiculously long revolver.

The venerable 30/30. I own many guns but that's still my favorite all-around caliber. I like its versatility.

That thing actually seems pretty tame for the size round it's packing.
