Ever wonder what it would take to kaboom an AR-15 rifle?

Well of course Kentucky Ballistics is up to the challenge.

Sit back, shed a tear, and watch this rifle turn into a grenade for science, well mainly amusement.

That black “Mattel Toy” rifle is more popular than ever. Just how strong is the design though?

Well in this test we see an AR-15 loaded with a super hot reload and a plugged barrel. What happens next is all caught on video in incredible slow motion.

It appears Eugene Stoner’s design is quite a strong one! In the modern rifles safety for the shooter is even more evident when the rifle’s remains are examined. Impressive to say the least! Don’t ever try this! Your body, rifle and wallet will thank you.
