One way to destroy a rifle

Good way to loose one's eyes, glasses or not. This proves Darwin isn't always perfect, but he tries.

 

[pawncop]

Words fail me. It is difficult sometimes to understand the thought process of some folks.

 

[Cholo]

They look like a couple of newbie FBI "agents".

Why would someone feel compelled to do that? I honestly don't understand what made them think it would be a good idea.

Hey, where's that thread about the reliability of AR's?

Once a gun catches fire,assume that it's trying to tell you something.

One time I watched a guy do that with a MAK90.
He thought it was a lot funnier than I did. I was behind my pickup.
He did live though it though without injury.

Making it even worse he is shooting into the air. No way he is hitting a back stop. Just plain stupid.

That looks like he's shooting full auto. If so,, that's an EXPENSIVE firearm to destroy.

When I was in the army, and at a range,, where they wanted to shoot up the ammo that had been checked out for practice & training,, they asked us to "burn some up. Well, I was doing something similar,, but I was trying to see how fast I could engage targets on full auto, keep it on target & do so with the "spray & pray" attitude that some thought was a good idea.
But when the forend got too hot to touch, and the barrel got a bit discolored,, I stopped using that M16, and got another one.
According to the armorer,, I ruined (2) M16 barrels that day. I never went that far and even beck then, I would not have been stupid enough to keep shooting if it was on fire or melting parts.

"Once a gun catches fire,assume that it's trying to tell you something."
It was just the plastic handguard that 'caught fire' so no big deal right? I've seen videos of the next step in the progression--the barrel bursts and that IS A BIG DEAL.

Yes, that's an example of evolution in action. IDIOT!

The only full-auto M16 I had was in basic. The lower receiver was marked "Colt AR-15" and had been modified to the M16A1 configuration. You could see daylight between the upper and lower receivers, and it rattled if you shook it. I still managed to shoot expert with it though. We never got to fire full auto in basic though.

'There was a reason the M60 was issued with a spare barrel and an asbestos glove to change it out …

Videos like this are just ammunition for those that believe civilians shouldn't be allowed to own so-called or actual assault weapons. I try to never think that some things are just too stupid for anyone to try.

 

[Mobuck]

^^^ I won't argue with the foolishness of the video BUT. How is this display different than some other idiot burning the tires off his hopped up car or another driving 50 mph over the posted speed limit? Why don't those activities trigger the same responses of 'this item needs to be banned'?

Anything made by man can fail. That is why brains need to be used.

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Stupidity in it's purest form !
That same guy did a video on whether or not an Anderson AR-15 could hold up to 1,000 rounds fired continuously. It got hotter than hell but did not fail or melt in semi-auto mode.
IMHO videos like this should be titled, "How to waste ammo"
