Duration: 10:23

This video details an experimental procedure where a loaded Glock 19 pistol was placed inside a microwave and activated for an extended period. The experiment, conducted by Matt Carriker, aimed to observe the effects of prolonged heat exposure on a firearm and ammunition. The firearm eventually discharged due to heat-induced pressure, resulting in significant damage to both the pistol and the microwave. The video demonstrates the destructive potential of extreme heat on firearm components and ammunition.

Quick Summary

Microwaving a loaded Glock 19 can result in a heat-induced discharge due to chamber pressure buildup. The polymer frame melts, and the projectile can penetrate the microwave. This experiment demonstrates extreme danger and is not recommended for replication due to unpredictable explosions and firearm damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when you microwave a loaded Glock 19?

Microwaving a loaded Glock 19 can cause the firearm to discharge due to heat-induced pressure buildup in the chamber. The polymer frame will melt and deform, and the projectile can penetrate the microwave casing.

Is it safe to microwave a firearm?

No, it is extremely unsafe and dangerous to microwave a loaded firearm. This can lead to unpredictable explosions, projectile discharge, and severe damage to the microwave and surrounding environment.

What kind of damage occurs to a Glock 19 in a microwave?

A Glock 19 subjected to prolonged microwaving will experience its polymer frame melting and charring. The heat can cause the ammunition to detonate, firing the projectile and potentially damaging the firearm beyond repair.

Can a microwave still work after a gun fires inside it?

In some cases, a microwave may still function after a firearm discharges inside it, even if it sustains a bullet hole. However, internal damage from the discharge or heat could affect its performance or safety.
