My AR-15 EXPLODED !!! (When Guns Go Boom – EP 6)
This episode of 'When Guns Go Boom' by Kentucky Ballistics investigates the catastrophic failure limits of an AR-15 platform. The experiment involved intentionally over-pressurizing a Ruger 556 with a custom round designed to reach 500,000 PSI, far exceeding standard 5.56 NATO pressures. High-speed footage captured the upper receiver and barrel exploding, with the blast primarily directed downwards, highlighting a key safety feature of the AR-15 design.
