This video explores the effectiveness of blast shields on a Draco AK pistol.

The optic and its Midwest Industries mount detached from the receiver after the first shot due to sheared screw heads, resulting in a minor injury to the speaker. The analysis highlights the importance of proper torque specifications and potentially thread-locking compounds when mounting optics on high-recoil platforms.
