Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when a loaded Glock 19 was placed in a microwave?

The polymer frame of the Glock 19 melted and caught fire. The intense heat eventually caused the 9mm hollow point cartridge to detonate and fire the weapon.

Was the Glock 19 destroyed in the microwave experiment?

Yes, the Glock 19 was destroyed. Its polymer frame was severely melted and charred due to the heat and fire inside the microwave during the experiment.

Did the microwave still work after the loaded gun discharged inside it?

Surprisingly, yes. Despite the firearm discharging and the bullet penetrating its casing, the microwave oven was still functional after the experiment concluded.

What safety precautions were taken during the loaded Glock microwave test?

A 'microwave bunker' constructed from cinder blocks was used for safety. The host also demonstrated the firearm was functional beforehand and waited for the unit to cool post-discharge.
