Don't get in a hurry to load a new gun with live rounds before you're at the range...

Can we say "defect" ?

"Bonus feature autofire"

I was thinking you could really improve your time in 3-gun by eliminating that time-consuming trigger pulling! Aim - rack -aim -rack....

He said, "Never load a gun in the house."
I'm really "antsy" about manipulating guns in the house, but it is necessary sometimes to load or unload them or whatever. I finally took a bunch of old obsolete books and filled a 36" bookshelf with them instead of throwing them out. The side of the bookshelf is exposed, and I use that at a "safe direction." I figure almost nothing I own will penetrate a yard of old books.
Yes, Virginia, there is a use for old DOS, WordPerfect, and other software manuals.

i use a metal can with a steel plate on the bottom. Fill it with old phone books.
Sand is way better but I gotta get to a secluded beach to steal some.
I would not use a plastic 5 gal bucket because plastic gets brittle and cracks.
I use my bullet trap routinely when developing experimental pistol loads.
Primarily, it's used to determine my min and max powder charge for unlisted load combos.
It only takes a few shots to figure it out.

I used a sand bucket when I had my shop and would have to test out loads 'n things. Rural locale, no problem with noise.
Some comments:
He shoulda had some bubble-pack to step on to imitate the crackles of the aerial fireworks. (nyuck-nyuck-nyuck)
Firing straight down does reduce pressure and velocity. Not much, but it does.
It pays (experience talking here) to put a piece of plastic or something over the bucket to reduce splash-back.
Now that I don't have a shop I just use my bookshelf as a "safe direction." In my Senior Citizen's apartment, I certainly don't use it for actual testing. Ooooooh, pretty red and blue blinky lights outside. Ooooooo.
I remember reading on the old packing dot org website about how many CCW-ers pointed their guns at a mattress in the bedroom as a "safe direction," and how many had to replace their mattresses.
And fix the hole in the floor, too, anyway.

A bucket is what I recall my handgun safety training instructor recommended. Nice to see a demo vid of how that works. Just throw an old shirt on top of the sand to help contain the sand.

Awesome share! I think many don't consider something like this ever happening. Good thing to ponder.

Yeah, and I also don't load a newly-obtained semiauto with more than two live rounds for the first couple of shots.
