AR-15 Kaboom

Right here. Author thinks it’s a squib, I think. I can’t tell.

    Ouch.

    When rounds won’t sit, you might want to stop shooting and check out your gun and ammunition.

    I’m not sure the poster is the author. That video shows that it was loaded two days ago and I know it’s been floating around on the web for some time.

    I’m guessing an OOB det. Possibly a broken casing lodged in the chamber. Just one of the reasons I don’t like the forward assist button, lets a guy like that just hammer a round into the chamber far enough for the firing pin to do it’s thing, but not get the round fully chambered.

  5. Weer'd Beard Says:

    Can’t tell from here, but I wonder if he didn’t pop a round off the crimp and into the case when he was mashing the forward assist like a meth addled monkey.

    That could cause an overpressure failure.

    That forward assist is just to help a grungy bolt or a cruddy round into the chamber. If you need do to a kung-fu palm strike to the forward assist there’s probably more wrong with your gun than brute force can solve!

    I’m thinking out of battery. I’ve seen photos of a squib kaboom, it drove the bolt back into his face.

  8. 45er Says:

    I agree with Weer’d. If you think you need to pick up a rock to work your forward assist, you should probably stop and assess. I don’t even use the forward assist on mine. I act like it isn’t there.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
