This video details an experimental test involving loading an AR-15 magazine with steel-cased .223 ammunition and placing it inside a microwave. The experiment, conducted by Matt Carriker, demonstrates the effects of heat and pressure on ammunition, resulting in a deformed magazine and expelled bullets. Safety precautions, including the use of cinder blocks, were employed, but the video highlights the inherent dangers of such tests.

This video demonstrates a controlled experiment involving microwaving .22 LR ammunition, conducted by Matt Carriker of DemolitionRanch. An experienced individual, Carriker utilizes a custom-built ballistic bunker for safety, highlighting the potential dangers of ammunition cook-off. The test reveals that .22 LR rounds, when heated, rupture and disperse unburnt powder, but do not penetrate the microwave casing.
