Frequently Asked Questions

Can an AR-15 still function if its barrel is stuck in concrete?

Yes, in a destructive test, an AR-15's barrel encased in concrete was fired remotely. The concrete block shattered instantly, and the rifle continued to function perfectly, demonstrating its durability.

What happens when you fire an AK-47 with its barrel in concrete?

When an AK-47 (7.62x39mm) was fired with its barrel embedded in concrete, the block was destroyed. The rifle cycled normally and remained fully operational after the test.

How durable are firearms like the AR-15 and AK-47?

This video shows that common firearms like the AR-15 and AK-47 are remarkably durable. Even when subjected to extreme stress, such as firing with barrels encased in solid concrete, they can continue to function reliably.

Does encasing a firearm barrel in concrete prevent it from firing?

No, encasing a firearm barrel in concrete does not prevent it from firing. Upon discharge, the concrete shatters due to the explosive force, allowing the firearm to cycle and operate as intended.
