This video demonstrates the effect of firing an AR-15 at a standard office-type fire extinguisher. The test reveals that a projectile impact can breach the extinguisher's base, causing a forceful expulsion of its contents and potentially a rupture. The experiment highlights the unpredictable nature of projectile impacts on pressurized containers.
This video demonstrates the performance of 5.56 frangible ammunition against a fire extinguisher. The 40-grain Maximum Defense frangible projectile was fired from a 14.5-inch barreled AR-15 at approximately 3200 feet per second. The test confirmed that the frangible round disintegrated upon impact with the hardened target, dumping its energy without penetrating the far side of the extinguisher.
This video features a unique test where Coch shoots a 17-pound fire extinguisher from over 25 yards using an AR-15 with 55-grain ball ammunition. The primary question is whether the projectile will penetrate the extinguisher. The description also teases a future video testing an AR-15 with .458 SOCOM ammo against ceramic tile from 7 yards, encouraging viewer participation for a prize draw. The video promotes the Tactical Hyve website and social media channels.
