This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, conducts an extreme durability test on five firearms by exposing them to intense heat in a fire pit. The test evaluates the functionality of a metal-framed Taurus pistol, a polymer-framed Glock 43, a Panzer shotgun, an AK-47, and an AR-15 after significant heat exposure, including firing them while engulfed in flames. The results demonstrate surprising resilience across various firearm platforms under extreme conditions.

Quick Summary

Firearms can often remain functional after exposure to extreme heat. This test showed a metal-framed Taurus pistol, Panzer shotgun, AK-47, and AR-15 all firing after being in a fire pit, with the AK-47 even being fired while engulfed in flames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can firearms still fire after being in a fire?

Yes, surprisingly, firearms can often still fire after being exposed to intense heat. This video shows a Taurus pistol, Panzer shotgun, AK-47, and AR-15 all functioning after being in a fire pit, with the AK-47 even being fired while engulfed in flames.

How does heat affect polymer vs. metal gun frames?

In this test, a metal-framed Taurus pistol showed more resilience than a polymer-framed Glock 43. The Glock's polymer frame softened, causing functional issues, though it still fired. Metal frames generally withstand direct heat better.

What firearms were tested in the fire pit?

The test included a metal-framed Taurus pistol, a polymer-framed Glock 43, a Panzer shotgun, an AK-47, and an AR-15. All were subjected to significant heat exposure.

Is it safe to test guns in fire?

Testing firearms in fire is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without extensive safety precautions. The presenter wore full firefighter gear, highlighting the risks involved.
