This Backfire LLC #shorts video debunks a politician's claim that an AR-15 weighs as much as 10 moving boxes and shoots .50 caliber bullets. The AR-15 typically weighs around 6.5 lbs, and most variants chamber .22 caliber rounds like 5.56mm, not .50 caliber. While rare AR-15s can chamber .50 Beowulf, this is distinct from the common .50 BMG.
