Way cool. I would opt for a face shield when firing a weapon to failure.

 

[edslhead]

He didn't stuff it with Twinkies

 

[salmonriverjohn]

And I wouldn't be holding it by the mag. Either,, a blow and it usually makes a mess of the mag well and anything else in the way. Weakest point in the entire system, open to expulsion of nasty stuff going real fast into a magazine full of other stuff that goes BOOM!

Two things I got fro. That video, the ar-15 is easy to control in rapid fire, amd a muzzle break really helps recoil. After it blew off the rifle got way shaky.

 

[teb]

He also did a Glock and AK meltdown.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I didn't hear everything he said, did he say how many rounds it took to cook it?
Great video!!!

 

[teb]

830 rounds I think.

Yep....no way I'd be putting my face that close to it without protection!

Here's my question. A full auto AR isn't an AR is it? Wouldn't that be a M16?

I'm guessing he didn't think it was as bad as holding on to that glowing foregrip

Safer than slingshots

Dont want to ruin a great thread, but when I think of weapon melt-downs, I think of Korean War history; direct fire tank and artillery into human waves.

[clearconscience]

It looked like the muzzle break just unscrewed and came off, and is it me or was he using wolf ammo?
Did it fail from heat or residue build up?

 

[teb]

The barrel failed.

 

[Boboclown]

A bunch of twinkies feel left out. He should have used some and do his part in keeping them on the market.

Or maybe not so I can lose weight.

Now THATS going to leave a mark!
Perhaps an angled backstop is in order? Kind of reminds me of some of the idiots I've seen shooting in rock pits.

I don't know what my problem is, but that video makes me laugh; must be the residuals from all my head injuries....I was expecting a FTF & a cook-off to occur in the AR demo....those were always fun.

 

[Stomper]

IMO, unless you're in a panic fire/"broken arrow" type situation where you have hordes of the enemy about to swamp you.... you should get "dexter slapped" upside your head and a foot in the arse for melting down a perfectly good weapon like that.




Having said that.... it was pretty cool footage!

The barrel failed.

Which probably makes this video an argument against getting a thin barrel.

Here's my question. A full auto AR isn't an AR is it? Wouldn't that be a M16?

It started life as a plain AR. But as he explained he replaced the lower with a M16 lower, and changed the bolt carrier group out with the SRC Relia-bolt carrier group. Those changes made it capable of full auto fire.
